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!

What the Witch and Kali Ma teach us about the Pre-Menstruum and the Perimenopause Transition

2023-10-27

Both the archetype of the Witch and the Hindu goddess of death, destruction and motherly love Kali hold valuable lessons for us to navigate the often challenging transitions of the pre-menstrual phase and the perimenopause transition.

Autumn is a really magical time – the leaves turn colourful, the air becomes cool and crisp and our intuition is heightened. It's a season that speaks of personal power and transformation and standing in our sacred Yes and No. But autumn doesn't only refer to the outer season, it's also closely connected to the pre-menstrual phase and the perimenopause transition. And these can be quite challenging experiences for many. Luckily, both the archetype of the Witch and the Hindu goddess of death, destruction and motherly love, Kali, offer you valuable lessons on pre-menstrual rage, pre-menstrual tension and perimenopausal mood swings and how you can navigate them all with more ease. In today's episode I dive into: - What the Witch and Kali Ma teach us about the pre-menstruum and the perimenopause transition - That "witch" once was a gender-neutral term - How rage can be sacred and cleansing - Why the truth, though it sometimes hurts, is profoundly healing and liberating - How the season of autumn, the pre-menstruum, the waning moon phase and perimenopause are all interconnected Resources I mentioned: Unlock the Power of your Cycle: https://lisa-jara.com/cyclecharting Happy, Healthy, (W)Holy Menopause: https://lisa-jara.com/hhh-menopause Sacred Cycle Deep Dive: https://lisa-jara.com/en/sacred-cycle-deep-dive True to You : https://lisa-jara.com/en/true-to-you/ A Fireside Chat about Pre- and Post-Natal Depression and Postpartum Psychosis: https://lisa-jara.com/en/blog/e22-a-fireside-chat-about-pre-post-natal-depression-and-postpartum-psychosis Befriending your Inner Critic through Journaling Podcast: https://lisa-jara.com/en/blog/e20-befriending-your-inner-critic-through-journaling YouTube: https://youtu.be/LPTQukWn-Dg Do you want to start your week with some soul-infused musings that support you in your personal cyclical experience in a world set up for linear progress?
