Womb Whispers

Let’s be honest: As a woman or menstruating person in this society, it isn’t exactly easy to grow up with a lot of reverence for your body, nor your cycle. In this spiritual-feminist podcast about menstrual wisdom and activism for our modern times, I share musings, reflections and conversations to make living as a cyclical being (ALL beings are cyclical, by the way!) in a world set up for linear progress more easeful for you. Let yourself be inspired to detox from the systems of oppression you’ve most probably internalised, so you can walk the spirals of your life with more confidence and trust in yourself and your gorgeous body and reclaim the superpower and ancient wisdom already stored in your bones! And no, you don’t need to have a uterus to benefit from this!

How to Decolonize the Body

2023-09-22

Ixchel Lunar and I want to raise awareness about how the systems and structures we live in are heavily impacting our relationship to time and to the body, and how the pace of life is a social construct that works against us in so many different ways.

Warning: The episodes of this four-part series are potentially activating to your nervous system, so please make sure that you are in a good space to absorb the information and have a soothing practice at hand that you can turn to, should your nervous system be activated! We live in systems that aren't set up for our benefit, but seek to separate us from ourselves, each other and the land we live on, so we extract from and exploit the Earth and our own bodies for other people's gain. Ixchel Lunar and I want to raise awareness about how these systems and structures have really impacted our experience and perspective of time, and how the pace of life is a social construct that works against us in so many different ways. In today's episode we specifically address how embodied cyclical living is a practice of decolonization and celebrating all of Life. We dive into: - How our bodies have been colonized and why this results in a lot of the female health issues we see today - Why we experience intense anxiety when we separate from the body - How you can start communicating with your body and why it matters - The many different cycles we're influenced by all the time - How your cycle (because all beings are cyclical) is a compass back home to yourself, to the place where you belong Resources we mentioned: The introductory episode to this series: https://lisa-jara.com/en/blog/e26-decolonising-time-decolonising-the-body-and-liberating-flow-introduction Decolonizing Time with Ixchel: https://lisa-jara.com/en/blog/e27-how-to-decolonize-time (available on Spotify, Apple podcast, Google Podcast and Amazon Music) Subscribe to Ixchel's Dragon Letters through their homepage: https://ixchel.love/home Subscribe to Mo(o)nday Musings to start each week more fully connected to yourself and your amazing body: https://lisa-jara.com/en/moonday-musings Take my free cycle charting course "Unlock the Power of Your Cycle" to learn how to speak the unique language of your body: https://lisa-jara.com/cyclecharting And if you experience menstrual health conditions like painful periods, PMS/PMDD, endometriosis, PCOS, irregular cycles, know that as a Menstrual Health Coach I help you address them in a natural and holistic way at their root cause (so without surgery or hormones), for a happy healthy bleeding experience.
