Inner Temple

Hello inner critic - come back later. I have got stuff to do.

❤️

Be gentle with yourself - don't let it get away with it. There's a time and a place.

Even though I get my breaks as a solo parent, I still have days (many days) where I just feel like there isn't enough rest, private creative pursuits or quiet time for my brain. And it usually ends in tears, staring into a wall, feeling completely overstimulated by everything around me.

Although I am not diagnosed with ADHD, I still deeply relate to this episode, this is for all overwhelmed mums to listen to. S**t is real, don't feel alone ❤️

Stay tuned, because I am feeling to write a post about this, throwing the flux of the menstrual cycle in the mix to help create more understanding, self compassion and a huge dose of self care and pacing.

25. Is Overwhelmed Mum Syndrome real? with Dr. Jacinta Thomson ADHD Mums · Episode

In a predominantly extrovertedly expressive society where linear time is the clock we tend to abide by, I feel relieved to be reminded of the world's hidden and the forever mysterious intangible experiences and expressions of the more predominantly introverted faculties and traits, especially in the creatives, the poets, the painters, the mothers.

In a society where rest, stillness and time in natural environments are deemed a luxury, it is no wonder that our innate, archaic even, intuition is going by the way side, along with the understanding of it. For who can explain these inner worlds to us, to help us navigate them with curiosity and confidence? Especially if we feel that our experience is exclusive.

This is why the creatives, the writers, the musicians, the dancers, the body workers, the caretakers of land, animal and people are so vital to our sustainability as a culture. If done effectively, and you'll feel it sometimes through art and music, you'll feel an instant connection to an intangible experience of another person. You'll be taken to a place and time, where you might not have even been born yet. Or a place in another realm, yet, it is still your own experience, unless expressed somehow, or shared with others of like mind with curiosity.

'A relativation of time and space through the psyche.'

Although in the interview, this is referencing to statistical evidence of intuition of Rhines research (first time I have heard of Rhines), I find this exciting in the context of the creative process and building and bridge from the internal to the external.

That's enough from me, my tea went cold.

My latest post on single parenting, the depth of menstrual cycle tracking, and how to 'kinda' find a rythm in the chaos. Sharing my experience of stepping back out on my own, with a toddler in tow.

As I step closer to officially studying the menstrual cycle next week, I have over the last week encountered several interactions with women about cycle awareness and the embodiment and awareness of the cycle.

This conversation is certainly not exclusive to bleeders, but it does resonate more deeply as an embodied experience with the menstrual cycle being (or has been) a prominent part of everyday life.

I have had shared experiences with those who don’t bleed and there is still a connection there, after all, we are cyclical beings, yet for those who embody the lived experience of a menstrual cycle, the sensitivity of its cyclical nature, is more deeply felt.

The connection makes sense to me. We inevitably live in a cyclical world. Nature has its seasons, day and night, the moon waxes and wanes, the oceans rise and fall, animals, plants, insects, death and birth – everything follows a cycle and pattern, which is inherently unique.

But for humans, becoming so detached from our own senses and awareness in a society that promotes achievements and accomplishments over rest and much needed down time, when will be able to carve out the time to reflect, reassess and dream, feel into our own personal rhythm as well as to what may be arising within us? Can we come to accept what is arising and see it for what it is, the nuances, the hard critic and the gems hidden therein?

Is there something to learn in what feels like a dark void?
