There’s the cycle of personal experience patterns that no one is talking about. I call this cycle, the “psychospiritual spiral.” It is based on where you are personally in the dramas and experience of your life.
Simply stated, it’s like the sum of stressors/triggers/depletion on the downward turn, and the sum of joy/selfcare/nourishment on the upward turn.
In terms of what is actually affecting how you feel, the order of importance is: moon phase, hormonal levels, and personal experience patterns (most).
Just like moon phase or hormonal cycles give us clarity on why we may be feeling what we’re feeling, so too, can the psychospiritual spiral. In fact, it’s something we can feel without charting the moon or getting labs.
If I know where I am in my psychospiritual spiral, I know how to react. When we know if we’re on the downward turn, it’s a time to not solve nor react; rather, it’s a time to recenter and nourish before making any decisions. When we act from this place, it’s often just playing out default generational dysfunction. If I’m on the upward turn, it’s time to align and act.
I want to teach you how to ride your psychospiritual spiral because it has been incredibly helpful in navigating those ups and downs while feeling clear, acting in alignment, and reworking dysfunctional emotional patterns. In other words, it has been an essential context to build my emotional awareness, and wellness.
