The Body’s True Rhythm - From Childbearing to Sovereignty
- Nicky Brown
The body is not broken. It is wise, cyclical, and calling us home.
For too long, women have been told to override. Push through the fatigue. Ignore the hunger. Mask the emotion.
Pretend we are straight lines in a world designed for men.
But we are not straight lines. We are waves.
Inside her lives the infradian rhythm, a 28-day wave woven into her cells. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, just as oceans rise and fall, so does she.
When we override this rhythm, when we ignore hunger, skip rest, silence intuition - we fracture.
The cost shows up everywhere: women arriving at perimenopause exhausted, inflamed, dysregulated.
Not because our bodies are broken.
Because they’ve been ignored.
A woman is a wave.
🌱 She is follicular’s fresh rise — clear, creative, expansive.
☀️ She is ovulation’s full bloom — magnetic, erotic, abundant.
🍂 She is luteal’s pull inward — sharp, honest, shadowed, fiery.
🌑 She is bleeding’s release — the oracle, the elder, the one who knows how to let go.
This is not weakness.
It is intelligence.
It is coherence with the Earth herself.
The Schumann resonance, the Earth’s heartbeat, pulses at 7.83 Hz. When our soma is regulated, when we honour the wave, we fall into rhythm with that universal song. That’s why flow feels so good. It’s physics, not fluff.
Menopause is not an ending. It is an initiation. A sovereign threshold. The weaving of every season into wisdom that stands steady, rooted, unshakable.
From childbearing to non-childbearing, the body is always shifting. That transition—one of the most profound seasons of a woman’s life has been flattened into a medical label. Menopause. A word heavy with stigma, creams, and prescriptions.
But this is not a diagnosis. It’s an initiation.
The transition is not a failure of the body. It is the body’s wisdom saying: you have given, now you integrate. It is the moment the cycle spirals inward, when life-force that was once turned outward for children or caretaking is reclaimed for the self.
And yet, women arrive here exhausted. Not because we are broken, but because we have been taught to override our rhythms for decades.
We’ve been taught to live as if we were machines - daily, predictable, productive - rather than waves: rising, falling, ebbing, flowing.
This is not weakness. It is intelligence.
To honour the wave is to return to coherence with life itself. To regulate the nervous system, to listen instead of override, to allow rest when the body calls for it.
The transition from childbearing to non-childbearing is not an ending. It’s a remembering.
It is the place where all seasons of a woman’s life integrate into one deep wisdom. It is the threshold into sovereignty, into elderhood, into a power that no cream, pill, or marketing slogan could ever sell back to us.
This is what Studio Soma holds: a remembering.
Not mysticism dressed in beads and incense.
But lived intelligence. Nervous system regulation as devotion. Cooking, moving, resting, speaking as ways of singing the old songs back into the world.
A woman is not meant to be a line.
She is meant to be a wave.
A tide. A spiral. A song.
And when she remembers that, she returns to her power.
