In honor of this new moon (or dark moon), I am writing a post about a practice called Seed Cycling.  But first, a little back story on the connection of a woman’s cycle to the phases of the moon…

Women and The Moon

Many cultures have recognized the relationship between women’s cycles and the cycles of the moon.  The moon cycles from new moon (dark moon) to full moon in about 28 days.  This is the same length of time for the average female to cycle from day one of her period, to the last day before her next period begins.  The moon is the governor of the water on the earth and the gravitational pull from the moon effects the tides of our oceans here on earth.  We humans are about 85-90% water, so imagine the effects that the moon has on our bodies!
