Menopause is a time of transition. It signals the end of a woman’s ‘biological creativity’, the child bearing years. It marks the start of a new phase, in which our creativity can find new channels of expression, and a deeper wisdom can emerge.
In my mother’s time menopause had particularly bad press: loss of fertility and attractiveness, unsettling physical and emotional symptoms, especially in the peri-menopause or lead up phase. And afterwards - a barren existence.
Today this bleak picture is shifting. Menopause is being acknowledged as a rite of passage and an opportunity to reconnect with a sense of our inherent power as individuals.
Yet, as with any transition, we may need support as we adjust to physical, emotional and even spiritual changes that accompany what is essentially a major shift in the hormone cycles and levels in our bodies.
