Cycle Syncing & Seed Cycling Explained! ✨

[@AlinaAlign]

😅 Ya'll...This video took soooo much work! If you can share this w/ anyone you think would like it, please do!! I wrote, recorded, & sectioned it in a way so that you can always come back and just click on whichever phase you might currently be in if you're looking for a general overview of it!! Enjoy 🤍

[@DanielaF]

⚡️⚡️⚡️I loved this video so much this is so important, thank you so much Alina ❤️ i do have a question, how does the birth control affects all this? Is it benefitial to align our cycle with the moon? Have the birth control pause week on the new moon? I mean since it's a hormonal method can women who take birth control benefit from aligning our cycle with the moon phases? I'm so passionate about aligning my life with the moon! Thank you again for this video Alina!

[@Rootzroyalty8]

Thank you for this. I so appreciate this.

[@gabzz72]

Ironically, day 1 of my menstrual cycle i’m crampy and might need rest, but after that I get such a surge of energy. I feel really productive

[@juliasharma840]

Same but for me it's 2 days then i am ready to conquer the world

[@ericamcgowan5931]

I sent this to my 13 year old daughter. I wish I knew this when I was her age

[@ericamcgowan5931]

Getting ready to send this to my own 13 year old right now. It’s crazy that this society completely ignores this and then turns around and calls us mentally ill and incompetent.

[@MsNalder1]

⚡️⚡️⚡️ I’m 38 and finally learning the importance of cycle syncing. I’ve just started implementing these things this month. I feel so much more in tune with myself.

[@misslotuswisdom8545]

i am in my early 40s and have endometriosis. It's been quite a journey to learn moreabout my own body and this condition. I loved this video and it really supports what i have learned from my body and my condition. I got off BC to be able to face this illness and my body and know my cycle and body. I really appreciate this video. Please continue w the amazing content you provide us.

[@thejournalbydee]

Omg! Thank you!!!! You’re amazing! This was so great! I turned it into a whole class for myself lol took notes and all that! Love you!

[@AlinaAlign]

Oh nice!! Really glad you liked this, Dee!! Great idea to take notes. I do that same with certain youtube videos too! ❤️

[@janetleticia688]

i just did the same thing! glad i wasnt the only one to think to do this 😂

[@Lady_YaYa_]

This is AMAZING and I appreciate your research sooooo much! I have Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and my condition mimics bipolar disorder but it’s all linked to my cycle. It’s been really difficult navigating my 4 phases. Thank you again !!! I also have your planner and I love it. Grateful for you girl.

[@artsynahnah2658]

I have pmdd also! Has charting your cycle improved your symptoms?

[@soraya1996]

If you can please do more vids like this!! I would love to learn more about seasonal living 😄 thank you Alina for your work

[@AlinaAlign]

Excited to make more nutrition/seasonal living videos soon! Thank you Soraya ❤️❤️

[@ericamcgowan5931]

Yes please!

[@ChelleInTheCity]

⚡️⚡️⚡️Omg mine is actually synced up! I’m in ovulation and the full moon is tomorrow. And I actually DO have a big talk at work to do. Wow. This is amazing!

[@osetia20]

MyFLOW Period Tracker costs like 2 euros. Number one period app and the only with the cycle syncing method. I have never heard about cycle syncing, so thank you so much Alina for this precious information. I love the way you present it as well, graphically very pleasent for the eyes, and all well organized which makes it easier to remember or fancier to take notes. Thank you!

[@boundlessoul_studios]

Thank you for making this! Will help educate women for years to come

[@jennyboylan3087]

This is amazing, I'm sending the video to all the menstruators I know - thank you soooo much!!

[@AlinaAlign]

Yay! Thank you so much, Jenny! ⚡️

[@Finessez717]

⚡⚡⚡

[@renee11228]

Thankk youuuu so much, Alina, just getting started with cycle syncing. The hardest part for me is allowing myself rest and space and deprogramming away from capitalistic ideologies/familial trauma that make parts of me believe "im wasting time." An affirmation for anyone who can relate: "It is safe to trust the rhythms of my body" ❤⚡⚡⚡

[@alic7277]

I have been coming to this video multiple times. Thank you for posting it, it has helped so much!

[@googoogjoob7]

Seed cycling substantially changed my cycle and comfort or at least appreciation within each phase . Lately, without knowing the dets with cycle syncing I was doing it and it’s really changed my perspective (as well as those close to me). Glad you brought up that book too! It’s been on my list and now I’ll have to circle around to it. I really enjoyed Beyond the Pill. I’m not someone looking to get pregnant nor have I taken the pill in years but it does an excellent job looking at almost all things cycle related.

[@acarroll09]

Omg i first watched this video 2 months ago. I see the world through new eyes now. Thank you 🌀🐚🌞

[@AfuraNefertiti]

This gave so much scientific evidence for what I’ve been practicing for the past several years. Thank you for sharing!

[@AlinaAlign]

Nice!! You know your body best! ❤️

[@cazimicasino]

when you started talking about the food!!! uhhh yesss i really love the examples and just to know that it isn’t really that complicated to live by your cycle… this has me so motivated to start listening to my body and recognizing that i have time and it doesn’t have to be so rushed all the time

[@AlinaAlign]

I am so so happy to hear this, Cazimi!! Wishing you the best on your journey of living in alignment! ❤️

[@kat0ray]

The video is everything I've been looking for! I wrote notes as if I was a student listening to a lecture. Might even make a poster with the information you've given! I typically become really irritable for two days before bleeding begins and then I am usually just completely exhausted during the first day of bleeding. I've been living like that my whole adult life (I'm 32). I have a one year old now, and I need to change for the better. I really lacked the patience, grace, and understanding that my baby needed while I was PMSing. Thank you so much for the work you put into this video. Also the planner looks really interesting. Any plans to make a digital version?

[@Areallionaire]

ALINNAAAAAA, I Didn’t Even Watch Yet Bc I Have To Give This Video My Undivided Attention With A Notebook & Pen In Tow! Thank You For Researching & Providing What So Many Gworls/Women NEED. I Literally Just Started Tracking My Cycle In The AuraAlign Planner Bc I Kept Noticing I Was Getting “Sick” Around The Same Time Every Month. Come To Find Out I Get Period Flu! & I Only Noticed This By Paying Attention, So I’m Trying To Find What’s Best For My Body During Each Phase, Such As Diet, Physical Activity, Rest Etc. This Came Right On Time😊❤️

[@MyJayjay92]

This video is so clear and concise. Thank you.

[@shaliyahrjohnson]

Great video! I noticed I get throw of around my period. My routines fell through and I sunk into a bad diet just eating whatever I got my hand on but now I believe its because my brain was signaling that it needed more nutrients than I was providing it. Thank you for the information!

[@TMarie-pd8ei]

Thanks for posting! Midway I thought about how incredible it is that our cycles can sync up with other menstruating people that we encounter frequently/closely ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@AlinaAlign]

Oh my goodness. THIS! Wow, remembering that we have the ability to do this has so much more meaning and makes so much more sense with the deeper context of each phase!

[@Queerlien]

This video was sooo insightful and I feel so enlightened. Just eneded my menstrual phase (new moon bleeder haha) and looking forward to implementing these tips into my life :)

[@AlinaAlign]

New moon bleeder over here too haha!! I’m glad this could offer some insight, Asia 🤍🤍

[@Queerlien]

@@AlinaAlign Do we both just happen to be in sync with the moon? That's so neat!

[@Tammbien]

thanks Alina. this has been very interesting and informative. truly appreciate u

[@gvandalen]

Thank you Alina. You’ve explained lunar syncing and seed cycling so clearly so that it’s easy to follow. So appreciate this.💖⚡️⚡️⚡️. Ps: 💗Book tip, “In the Flow”💗

[@Empress_Echo]

⚡️ Alina this video was great! I have always struggled with horrible cycles so I really appreciate the content shared in this.

[@AlinaAlign]

Same! Mine seemed to be getting worse over the last few years and learning more about cycle syncing really made a difference. Happy to share this!!❤️

[@clairethorpe2994]

Such a great video, thanks for sharing! I used Lisa Lister’s Red Journal to track my cycle, her books Code Red and Love Your Lady Landscape are also amazing 💖

[@PaigeKyera]

So happy it’s finally out!! You’re welcome, Paige!🤍

[@lovelyliving0320]

⚡️⚡️⚡️ great video! I would love to try just tracking and planning workouts/productivity around the phases

[@AlinaAlign]

Thanks! And yes, that's a great place to start! I started with just seed cycling and built upon that. It's really cool to steadily try what works! ❤️

[@marslikedaplanet]

[@twistedtraveler99]

I would loveeeee a video for each phase, I’m walking the track on day 2 of 🩸 and I would love to emerse myself into a world of your voice focusing just on the current phase, you’re an angel 🫶🏾

[@lorenaisabella13]

Thanks so much Alina!! This was amazing :) I literally spend 2 hours watching, pausing, and note-taking all of this great info!! I’m definitely going to start cycle syncing and focusing more on my body during my cycles 💗 I really appreciate you putting so much effort into educating everyone with your background, I’m here for it queen!!!

I'm new to this concept of seed cycling and cycle syncing as I heard someone talking about it on social media, but I must say out of ALL the videos I've watched to include some Doctors sharing their insight of this concept, your video is THE BEST I've seen. This was VERY informative, and I can't wait to get started. I'm definitely subscribing to this channel. Much Respect and Thank You 🥰

[@priskasama]

⚡⚡⚡ Very good video as usual, thanks for your hard work, so well organized. Just added the book into my Kindle read list :) and shared your video to my friends and family ❤ (they don't understand English, but I will translate this is so important to know for us women). Love the fact that we're syncing ourselves with nature 🌿

[@AlinaAlign]

Thanks, Priska!! I really appreciate that & hope you enjoy the book! I love it ❤️❤️

[@Libraprincessx]

This is a guide for me. I’m constantly coming back to this video. Thank you so much. Cycle synching has changed my life for the better ❤️

[@keilapena1392]

I love this ⚡️ ⚡️⚡️ I've recently realized how SEVERELY my mood changes about a week or 2 before my 🩸 and it's helped me communicate so much better. Just like how I get it a few days after a new moon (so far, still under observation) and I truly feel called to live more aligned. Thank you for your insight!

[@bizzyfit2128]

This is one of the most descriptive explanations of this that I've heard. I also appreciate that you provided your reference list. Thank you so much.

[@marthaalicia25]

Love this video Alina! For the past month and a half I've been diving deep into learning about my cycle. I've been enjoying it so much. Thank you for all the amazing information! Im going to rewatch it and take notes in my journal 🙂

[@briannacarr3068]

i use stardust to track my cycle! it’s great for seeing what phase you’re in and how it aligns with the moon

[@judylewis13]

This was such an amazing introduction and helped me categorize the cycles in a useful way - really appreciate all the effort that went into it. Looking forward to implementing and figuring out what works for me.

[@kristaskene5678]

Excellent video! Thank you so much! I am just starting to get into actually aligning my cycle with my life. I have tracked it for years, and have tried to listen to my body, but have found that the last year it has really changed. I assume its because I am 40 and my cycle is changing. Thanks again for the very informative video!

[@tayalashae8772]

ty for this video!! these past couple of months i’ve been feeling called to pay more attention what phase i’m in of my cycle. i’m grateful for this info!

[@AlinaAlign]

Happy to help!! Listen to that intuition ❤️❤️

[@gap1608]

I shared it with one of my friends and finally came back around to it because I wanted to take notes. Thank you for this video as I’ve been requesting more opportunities to deepen my relationship with my womb. A lot of the information provided context to some of the things I have felt along the way. The hormonal support piece was key for me. Excited to put this in practice while offering myself grace along the way.

[@amandalihabello7206]

I love coming back and rewatching this video to really understand where I am at and what I am experiencing in each cycle. I feel like during my menstrual cycle I would love to work on reflections and working on heightening my intuition. I love your videos especially the ones where you give journal prompts. I was wondering if you could possibly create journal prompt’s that can help with intuition and reflecting during the menstrual phase or just in general. Thank you for being you and creating the content you do. Forever grateful that you have been part of my path of life 🫶🏽 Sending love 😘.

[@SelfCareWithMilly]

Every time I see you I feel the exact same... a breath of fresh air and a ray of sunshine... I've watched this video several times and I always come back to something new that I didn't catch the first time. My pressing question for you is this - how do you balance where you are with your menstrual cycle when it doesn't "sync" with the moon phase cycle? Right now I am in a red moon cycle and essentially everything is 2 weeks "off" from the moon cycle phase so there's this inner struggle of which is the "right one" to lean into. Getting some perspective and insight from you regarding this would be very helpful as I rarely ever have a white moon cycle and I'm tired fighting between the 2 energies. 🤎

[@Tashiia]

What a beautiful soul you are....really. Thank u sooo much...now i can capitalize on these seasons chile. God Bless. 🙏🏾❤

[@divinelyvibin]

This helps so much cuz my mindset goes to “I’m crazy and spiraling thru luteal” & it’s just having to learn about me and figuring out what works 🙏
