Sync up daily.If we dont consciously sync with the Earths rhythms each day...were out of

sync. When were out of sync, we look for acidic forms of energy, which are cheaand easy. Synchronizing rhythm tunes our organs with vibrant, alkalizing, life

positive energy.

Waking

Most of us are plugged in

after dinner. Knowing the

consequences and making

choices from there is our

goal. If you have no

problem naturally waking

early, clear headed and

nternally inspired, youre

doing fine. If you do have a

hard time getting up and

truggle with stable energy

hroughout the day

without the use of caffeine

or sugar), then this is a

pattern to uplevel. Start to

enjoy quiet evenings with

an early bedtime. If you

wake up tired, keep

pushing your bedtime

earlier. The early morning

s a better time to catch up

han late at night.

Movement

Even if you tend to workout

or go to yoga class at night,

start to begin each day with20 minutes of movement.

You are opening your

channels of breath and

blood. You are moving lactic

acid out of your muscles.

You are opening to a

freedom in your body and

mind for the day.

As you advance in your

morning routine, give your

morning exercise greater

meaning beyond the

physical. What will best get

you ready for your day?

Cultivate that quality in

your morning practice.

Big Picture

Does your daily routine

include a centering of your

awareness if the biggestpossible context? Take time

each day to feel into the

entire evolution of the

Universe thus far. Feel your

place from this greater

context. Let go of the in-your-face demands and rest

for a set time each day in

your absolute nature. You

are giving the impulse that

drives evolution access to

you. From this place,

dharma will flow.

Dharma

A vocation that brings yo

and uplifts the whole is

considered an essential p

an evolutionary life.

This is quite different fropast paradigm of vocatio

being that which earns y

decent income to take car

your self/family. Transce

and includes this one. Th

maybe shadows that eme

as you consider what you

truly capable of in this lif

time.

Is your work joyful,

synergistic and alive?

Does your impact carry y

hearts essence?

Could you co -create with

others in a bigger way?

Nourishment

Lets take the greatest

perspective of nourishment.

What currently nourishes

you? A few questions to ask

areL

Are you fueled by

nutrients or synthetics?

Are your nutrients alive or

cooked?

Do you feel energized after

sleeping and after eating?

Do you nourish yourself

with self-care therapie in a

rhythmic cycle from

bathing to oiling your

body daily, to resting

during your menses

monthly?

What nourishment sounds

dreamy to you right now?

Which sense organs are

involved?Use the followingRhythm Checklists

Your Moon Rhythm

YourMoon

RhythmOnce upon a time, in a land

quite near, the Women

menstruated together in the

dark phase of our Moon. They

separated this time apart from

their regular duties, focusing

their attention inward, allowing

their energies to empty

downward into our sacred

Earth. Afterwards, the Women

emerged from their menses

light, clear, strong and

renewed.

During the full Moon, the

Women would dance, sing,

celebrate and serve from the

depth of their creative center.

The Women could feel the

bright Moon pull the ocean

tides and their bodies into

ecstatic fullness. Parties were

thrown; babies conceived. The

Women and the Waters of our

Earth moved as one.

One day, the Women wanted

the same power as the Men.

So, the Women began sourcing

their power from the constant

energy of our Sun. The Women

took jobs outside of the home

and worked the jobs straight

through their Menses.

In prioritizing the masculine

power source, the Women lo

their inner Moon rhythm. The

cyclical pulsation of feminine

power within their bodies wa

forgotten. Their creative pow

organs experienced pain an

even disease. The Womens

bodies lost the watery, rhythm

ease of conception, child-

bearing, natural birth controland menopause.

Yet, during this time, the

Women had grown in power,

leadership, wealth and

independence! And from this

place of collective power the

Women realized:

We can contain the

strength of our Sun only if

we first sync ourselves to t

rhythm of our Moon.

And the Women helped eacother and their daughters

embody this basic truth.
