Dancing through your Cycle

Hi love,

 

 

Keep reading for a free practice - movement & cycle awareness for deeper embodiment and personal power.

 

 

Did you know that your body is always speaking to you? And that your cycle (and the cycles of the earth & moon) holds the keys to your energy, clarity, and deepest power?

 

 

For me, dance is one of the ways (my favourite way) I listen.

 

 

Wherever I am in the world, whatever the season—rain, sunshine, winds, snow—I dance. Not just for movement, but for deep connection.

 

 

Dance is my biggest joy and what lights me up, but it is also my deepest soul medicine. It holds my grief, my anger, my blockages, my pain, and every emotion I carry. It is my nervous system regulation, my balance and alignment. And as a mother, this release and connection to self is invaluable.

 

 

So I’m curious—what is your relationship with dance?

 

 

Through my work with ClearTransmissions®, I’ve discovered that dance isn’t just a form of expression—it’s a portal. A way to activate healing, shift stagnant energy, and tap into the wisdom of our cyclical nature, which I would love to share with you below…

 

 

(For those of you who don't have a menstrual cycle, you can align to the moon and to the seasons or listen to what your body is telling you each day. We are all going to need a different flow at different times each day, so the mastery is learning to listen, honour and flow with each moment.)

 

 

 

Dancing Through Each Stage of Your Cycle

 

 

Your cycle isn’t something to "deal with" or push through. It’s a map—guiding you through deep introspection, powerful creation, and everything in between.

 

 

Here is a mini guide for how you can physically move through each stage as a mini practice.

 

 

Menstrual (Inner Winter, Dark Moon) – Surrender & Deep Listening

 

 

Slow, fluid movement. Gentle swaying, resting, allowing emotions to surface. This is a time for deep energetic clearing, shedding what no longer serves. A most powerful time for receiving inner guidance and healing. Staying home, introverted, resting as much as possible.

 

 

 Follicular (Inner Spring) – Awakening & Playfulness

 

 

Light, joyful movements. Playful, spontaneous, reconnecting with fresh energy and possibility. Emerging into the world, feeling ready for connection again.

 

 

Ovulation (Inner Summer, Full Moon) – Expansion & Magnetism

 

 

Big, full-bodied movement. Feeling yourself fully expressed, taking up space, exuding confidence and radiance. An ideal time to be out in the world, connecting with people, meetings, friends, shining and radiating, feeling more extrovert.

 

 

Luteal (Inner Autumn) – Power & Release

 

 

Grounded, intentional movement. Releasing pent-up emotions, shaking off tension, embodying your truth with raw, untamed presence. Making sounds, needing more alone time.

 

 

Menopause – The Wise Woman’s Embodiment

 

 

A time of deep integration. A shift into intuitive, slower, and more intentional movement. Honouring the body’s evolution with reverence and trust.

 

 

Why This Matters for Your Work, Relationships & Energy

 

 

When we dance with our cycle, honouring each phase and its true needs, we align with our body’s natural rhythms instead of working against them. This leads to:

 

 

🌿 More ease & flow in your work – Knowing when to create, when to rest, and when to take bold action.

 

 

❤️ Deeper connection in relationships – Understanding your shifting needs & boundaries in each phase.

 

 

💫 Stronger intuition & clarity – Dance moves energy, making it easier to receive insights & inner guidance.

 

 

🔥 A deeper sense of embodiment & personal power – No longer fighting your body, but dancing with it.

 

 

This is exactly what I support my clients with—unlocking their inner wisdom, healing through somatic & shamanic practices and deep inner healing journeys, and embodying their full power in every season of life.

 

 

I’d love to hear from you—how do you connect to your cycle? Do you dance with it, or is this something you’d love to explore more? Hit reply and let me know.

 

 

With love & rhythm,

Claire
