WORKING WITH THE CYCLES OF THE MOON

Cycles Of The Moon WORKING WITH THE

By Nerida Weaver

Many of us Soulful business owners started out with a strong passion, a calling that could no longer be ignored and a beautiful vision of creating a lifework balance.

The dream of balance can over time become a nightmare of overwhelm, to-do-lists and all-nighters so that you can work around the kids. The familiar push-push energy we vowed we’d never do again becomes a default state and all of a sudden we find ourselves a long way down the fatigued track, feeling completly disconnected from the inspirational seed and burning desire to make the world a better place that made us start in the first place.

Or is that just me?

Actually, that was me up until a few years ago. I have built several very successful companies but with each of them, wound up at the point of burn out and exhaustion.

And then... I made a discovery that turned everything around!

Lunar Abundance by Dr Ezzie Spencer found its way into my awareness. A system of working with nature’s rythms (such glaringly obvious wisdom that I’d completely missed in the context of how I worked!)

The sun doesn’t shine 24/7, the flowers don’t bloom consistently, the moon waxes and wanes. Many of us are raised with a very masculine work ethic which unconsciously plays out as us pushing to be “on” and achieving every working moment. It’s no wonder that females being cyclic by nature, inevitably find ourselves at burn out point.

Tuning into the cycles of the moon opened a whole new way of working my business that felt amazing! Following nature’s rhythms and applying the Lunar Abundance system allowed for a balance of yin and yang energy (where

“One’s philosophy is not best expressed in words. It’s expressing the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die, and the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.”

previously I was almost consistently in the yang state). This was a way to transition from the push-push type of energy to a much more gentle one of attraction. Things just fell into place, the space created in the yin times allowed room for reflection, gratitude and receiving. The yang times allowed for discerning action, redirection when necessary and giving back. Working this way feels so much more spacious.

Whether you are the A-Type action person, a procrastinator that finds it difficult to move into action or somewhere in between, following the Lunar Abundance system is a great way to have a natural prompter to keep you on track and mindful the whole month. I love that each cycle is only a few days long and a perfect way to balance anyone’s work method.

For all soulful business owners but most particularly females, working with the cycles of the moon creates an environment of balance and guilt free self-care that supports our personal welfare so that we can sustainably go forward and create the change in the world we’re here to.

If you’re not already using a system that tunes you into nature’s rhythms, I hope you’ll apply this and give it a go! In fact, it’s become such a big part of how I run my business that I’ve incorporated this aspect into our monthly membership to help other business owners tune in and reap the benefits of working with the cycles of the moon.
