Rhythms

I was just reading this morning about honoring natural rhythms in our bodies.  Specifically, I was reading about female rhythms.  There are indications that males have rhythms, but the research is nowhere near what we have for females.  According to author Christiane Northrup M.D., many women experience an energy boost, with a desire to be creative and focus outward during the first two weeks of the menstrual cycle, followed by two weeks of a turning inward to notice what holds deeper meaning, what makes one feel more emotional, and a noticing of things that may be dissatisfying.  She recommends that women not ignore the intuition they get during those second two weeks, but use it to make meaningful improvement in everyday life.  Don’t let those dissatisfying things build up.  Today, I will not tune out my inner wisdom.  Rather, I will use it to continue to shape my life in an ever more meaningful direction so that I can be happy and share my happiness with those around me.
