Menstrual Phase. Winter. Dark Moon. Soul mind.
My Crone has always been present, of course, I menstruate every cycle…but after the chaotic and powerful energies of the enchantress, the arrival of my bleeding has always been a relief for me. It feels like the calm after the storm.
I always wait to take her advice, her knowledge from the deepest of my soul. When I have to take a decision, I always need her wisdom to take the final step. She guides me. It’s my resting time (if possible, when possible), restoration of energies time, silence and meditation, contact with nature more than normal. I love to be alone in this phase. I don’t talk a lot (good for my partner).
When we take decisions from our thinking mind (maiden) we are not acting according to our deepest being and if it’s the enchantress its mostly impulsive and not logical decisions that later we will regret. It’s our Crone that guides us. But to connect with her we need to stop our rhythm, go hibernate in our cave and then she will come…
This is the time of my cycle in which I go slower, I try to do what is really important and everything else can wait. I ask for help; I know If I rest enough I will be later a maiden full of energy.
Do you give yourself time to rest in this phase? Can you connect with your Crone?
How are the energies of the Crone?
It’s the winter, the darkness. It’s cold and your body needs more rest than usual. It’s the reflexive phase, if you can give yourself a rest, even if for little time it will be a magical experience. You Will meet the Crone that’s always with you to whisper in your ear what is best for your life, what path to follow, what to leave behind, where to go. It is connecting with your essence, your heart. If you don’t flow with this archetype and you continue with your life as if nothing is happening the maiden that will come later won’t have a lot of energy and mental abilities. You night be tired during your whole cycle.
Leave the things that aren´t important for later, maiden will take care of that. Just meditate, hibernate, relax. You can ask for help and cancel things is needed, that is also ok.
Unbalanced Crone? Symptoms:
- Experience menstrual pain.
- Your cycle is not regular or you don´t bleed. Amenorrhea.
- Long bleedings. Menorrhagia.
- Can not connect with your bleeding or you don´t feel comfortable with it.
I invite you to take a Womb Healing Session or my full programme to harmonize your Crone and bring balance to your life and your cycle.
I share an audio with a meditation by Miranda Gray to connect with this Archetype:
