What is lunar mandala?
Lunar mandala is a tool created for and by women, which aims to make it easier to connect with your own body and also with natural cycles. This tool is a super simple way to consciously observe the changes that occur during a woman's menstrual cycle, based on the four phases of the moon, so that there is a greater understanding of the influence that lunar energies have on aspects of life. . The organization of the lunar mandala is made from the union of the lunar and solar calendar, allowing a greater perception of the cycles manifested by nature internally and externally in each woman.
What is it for and what are its benefits?
The lunar mandala serves to record various emotional, physical, social and mental experiences, which vary according to the phase of the cycle you are in. This way of mapping your cycle allows you to observe and analyze some patterns that you hadn't noticed before - these patterns will instruct you on how to act so that your behavior flows through your cycles in a more balanced and conscious way.
Making and understanding the lunar mandala is an incredibly effective method to achieve self-knowledge and consciously connect with your own body, respecting your feminine nature. With this tool, while you look inside, you automatically pay attention to what is outside your body. It is as if you are looking at your inner moon, which represents your cycles, and your outer moon, which represents the moon in the sky. Thus, it becomes simpler to understand how the external affects your being.
In addition to promoting self-knowledge and changing the way you deal with everything during certain phases, this method of note-taking gives you a real connection with your nature and with the external nature.
The menstrual cycle and the moon
The phase of the Moon that precedes the menstrual cycle has a very important connection with what you are currently experiencing, according to the energy of the phases of each moon. Having the first day of menstruation when the Moon is in the waning phase tends to indicate that some point in your inner child or childhood is undergoing a purification process, for example. Or maybe you are developing some new project or that new ideas are coming into your life.
Some people say that menstruation during the new moon is better, and that menstruating commonly on the same moon phase represents a deeper connection, but these beliefs are just myths, which prove how controlling the human mind is, always trying to label the processes. of life.
Getting your period during the new moon can mean that some issues in your subconscious are being healed, for example. But among so many examples, know that the best way to understand what each lunar phase means in the face of its cycles is to observe yourself, observe the moon and this relationship between the moon in the sky, the moon that exists within your being and the various manifestations that arise out of all this.

– What do I want to change in my life?
– What needs to be different?
- What I am?
- Who I am?
– What should I leave behind to live this new cycle in a way that is consistent with the truth of my self?
– Am I bringing into this new cycle something that disagrees with the person I am or what I am looking for?

It is possible to do the lunar mandala to maintain fertility control in a totally organic and healthy way, unlike contraceptives that are not natural.

Step 3 – Record the phases of the Moon in the innermost circle of your lunar mandala, that is, write the days of full moon, new moon, waxing and waning. On the outside, record all your observations over the course of the cycle, as well as what you notice in your physical, mental, social, and emotional sensations.
Step 4 – To have a better understanding of your lunar mandala and see it more clearly, you can make it more visual by using different colors to differentiate the four stages. Let your creativity speak louder and customize it however you like. If you do this, in addition to giving your mandala a more pleasant air, it will be possible to observe and analyze the cycles more clearly and cleanly.
Step 5 – Now that you've done and know how to make your mandala, it's time to learn how to analyze it! Grab a journal, notebook or diary, and write down all your observations, sensations, needs and cycle changes. As has been said before, the lunar mandala is a tool that promotes self-knowledge, and therefore it is essential to identify your patterns of behavior and energies that occur at all stages of your cycle.
