How can the fertility awareness method and art have a positive impact on women’s health and lives around the world? A diurnal practise, whatever form it takes, can bring great insight into the nature of change, the cyclical existence we live within as women, as living beings, as part of life. As a parent, you frequently see 4 seasons in one moment or expression, let alone a day, a week, a year and so with art, every day the outcome is so different. If in one day, multiple pieces of art are made around the same subject or idea there will be multi-layered meaning and insight. No one moment is the same. Even if life seems to be quite predictable from day to day it is far from that. Literally moving through a continuous flow, evolving, revolving, opening, closing, living, dying. Never ever the same. It is our work to bring clarity to the nature of change and therein allow the body to ignite its own innate capacity for healing. Women can start by healing connection to their feminine anatomy, regaining and remembering strong roots in nature. Find your own rhythm and way of being, no need to look to someone else to tell you. Proceed by listening deeply, observing. Listen again. Discipline. Never give up. Bring in, invite a new continuum, self tailor your life. You can do it. Make it happen coming ever more into harmony again with nature. However you come to fertility awareness, to body awareness, be it through art or any other means, stick with it! The fertility awareness method is for anyone taking each woman deep into embodiment, into the heart of direct experience and therein great learning. Some may like to cycle with the moon, some may be strictly scientific, some soft, some hard, each to their own, that is the beauty of it. Each pathway unique, each body, each journey. Nature teaches us there is strength in diversity so lets celebrate diversity. Diversity in all cultures, inside and outside of the body! As science emerges as an extensive culture of reading that we find today lets give deeper meaning to those words and understand we can craft our own language of understanding making communication and literacy an art which is responsive to our needs, pains, loves, lives.
The fertility awareness method encourages sovereignty and self confidence in matters of the body and every woman has the right to this, every man also, every baby, all sentient beings. Why has this been forgotten? Ask the right questions and don’t just blindly follow the general belief systems pervalent in society, the school , the home even and lets share the good, facing the internal conflicts with character, resilience and adaptability. Everyone has their struggles. All the wisdom you need you can find in nature, what comes into your life to teach you? Recognise that. Get right into that. Rediscover old passions, talents, gifts and shine there a light again. Go deeper, wider, higher always with perspective, maintain the bigger picture.
Changing the language It is time to change the language, even down to the menstrual cycle, by focusing on that part we forget it’s actually more about reproducing and fertility! Lets encourage women to start this younger, earlier in life. Really have self respect and self knowledge and understanding. Really feel a part of nature from conception and on and on. Heal the broken continuum. Face birth trauma. Embody conception, pregnancy, birth, motherhood. Recognise the ability to face those great transformations because you know your body so well already. Homebirth will increase as women already have that ever deepening confidence in the wisdom of the body. We will see women really able resonate deeply with the great wisdom available during pregnancy coming out of the mind and into the body. Going into labour and birth with that deep and profound sense of calm, ease, knowledge, wisdom, ability, evolution, creation, all of it. Mother’s able to really be there for baby through pregnancy, through birth, early motherhood. Really there to ease adjustment to life on earth and all the challenges it brings to individuals today. By knowing the body we can recognise easily what it needs and how that changes with pregnancy, birth, postpartum and breastfeeding. With this kind of practise and innate knowledge of the body, the
benefits of breastfeeding are so obvious there is little need to promote it, no words to talk there way out of it. Body knows, baby knows. Fertility awareness can lead to great change within the individual and therein the new life that comes forth. I need to see this information out there, with the young ones who already know without knowing. To encourage total embodiment finding ease and grace of movement within all aspects of life leading to less need for outside procedures and pharmaceuticals. Tuning into plant medicine, trusting in those senses beyond the senses. Opening up to the worlds of communication beyond words. Starting with art, leading on, deeper and deeper, taking less yet gaining more by doing so. This is the starting point, the leap, then just let go, free fall and ride the waves. All of life is learning. Then suddenly there is no need for school. Each to find their own unique way. Can happen. Will happen. Is happening. The fertility cycle is a vital indicator of health in men and women. Lets get right into that! What is going on with your body. Practising FAM can lead to closer connections with your partner and an awareness of the very real differences between men and women. Cut out the crap and connect! It is time to create a new language and symbology for the self through art and innate art practises. Great growth and transformation is available within each fertility cycle just as we see with the seasons and greater cycles and circadian rhythms of life. By truly knowing your cycle you can engage with every stage of life and begin to build systems that really work in your life and everyone needs systems. So, lets inspire, connect, grow, change, gaining insight, wisdom and a deeper connection to nature. Build empathy, gratitude, love and maintain it like your life depends on it. REST. BREATHE. The fertility cycle is the gift of life and an honour bestowed on each of us, lets live up to it the best that we can and always aspire to level up for a better future is possible and we owe it to our children.
