Empowering your creativity, wellbeing and cyclical nature
Menstrual Cycle Awareness Journal
How to Guide
This is your personal guide to your own cycles and inner wisdom..
​
​
​
Before we start remember this is YOUR work, Your inner guides and wisdom. There is really no right or wrong way to chart your cycles. There are many layers to cycle awareness, the more you do it the more you will discover, but don't worry about this, just start! It can be as simple as tuning in, ask yourself THE question.. 'how do I feel today?' and adding a word of a day in the wheel.
​
Use the season guides, Charts and Prompts to help you understand your inner seasons a little more, but also remember that this is what they are.. guides, your experience of the seasons and your own cycle is the truth you need.
