Midwife your menopause
Menopause is a portal to remembering, to rooting, to rising into the most authentically embodied you
New Moon Blessings
I began writing this blog post before I hit one of the biggest ruptures of my life just over a week ago. I feel this post speaks to the rites of passage that menopause represents. This can look and certainly feel like the darkest of days that comes at a time in our lives when we know in our bones that we cannot bypass our feelings or the lessons it's bringing. Everything coming up to be seen, to be felt, to grow from. Having the courage to be in it is where grace enters.
Menopause is a period of heightened alchemy, when a woman's energy is ripe for transformation. When we don't listen to the call for transformation, the body gets louder, creating symptoms – an intelligent nudge to pay attention inside
Menopause is a time when women are confronted with what they have previously suppressed and unexpressed. Anything that needs to die will rise to the surface to be met with compassion. How's your self compassion?
Meno (meaning moon) is symbolic of a deep pause into the primordial feminine, moved by the season and the cosmos. If we don’t pause we don’t hear the call when it comes. Don’t miss the opportunity for a huge death of the old and a rebirth of the most authentic version of you.
This portal of transformations asks us to feel more, to realise what we have been searching for outside is inside and to reclaim all the many parts of our woman that have been scattered and to integrate them into wholeness – that’s when we take a deep breath and know we’ve arrived. From here women unlock dormant codes that are unique to each of us and that the world so badly needs.
How to do this?
Follow the left brain, your intuition, your body’s wisdom - the deep feminine knowing. This takes practice to build the new circuitry. Its regular embodiment, not weekly - daily. It's a new way of being that needs cultivating
When old patterns are shedding holding space for yourself is more important than ever. There is a new becoming and this requires us to meticulously midwife our own menopause. Join with other women also unlocking their unique wisdom – we learn so much from each other.
