When we pay close attention to our bodies, we will find meaningful patterns and a greater understanding of our ever changing levels of emotions, energy, cravings, and inspiration. On this episode of The Woman’s Vibrancy Code, your host Maraya is talking through a typical 28 day cycle and the benefits of tracking the subtle and not so subtle changes that occur. Maraya walks through the four weeks of a cycle and explains the important shifts that are impacting how you move, work, eat and sleep. The more we listen to our bodies, the more that we can honor these dynamic changes and make decisions based on what’s best going to best serve us.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Week 1, Winter – When you first start your cycle or bleeding, it is a time for contemplation, quiet, and healing. Women often become more inward focused, and benefit from quiet and simplicity. You will want foods that are healing and soothing like soups, broths, and cooked vegetables.
- Week 2, Spring – Energy levels increase and vision, passion, clarity and creativity are strong. Group dynamics in brainstorming and creating are great during this time. This is the time for bigger and more high endurance movement and activity.
- Week 3, Summer – This is the highest level of energy and libido for most women. You’re hopeful, happy, and social. You take creative action and are confident and innovative. This is the time to be “on stage”. Present that book. Run the marathon. Lift heavy weights. Your body needs great quality protein.
- Week 4, Fall – This is when our bodies experience the most drastic hormonal changes which often cause irritability and gastrointestinal disruption. We feel deep appreciation and gratitude for those around us and feel deeply fed by feeling heard and seen.
