I am going through menopause.It's something I want to talk about like crazy but I am noticing other women my age or older go mute on the topic, I find it interesting how few women want to talk about their process or feel good about it. I blame our western cultural ideas about women, we are socialized to struggle and fight aging as if it were a disease. The medical profession shoves Estrogen and Bio-identical hormones down our throat as if there were something terribly wrong with the aging process or that it is unhealthy. Oh my goodness its just not right to experience a hot flash, night sweats or those embarrassing mood swings.
Well I got news for you sisters and I don't think I am the first one to say it. This is a natural, beautiful and empowering process to go through and I might add, good for your health. Especially if you go through it drug free and allow yourself to embrace aging gracefully.
I am totally awed at what I am learning about myself by allowing my emotions and hot flashes free reign. All the spiritual journeying I have been doing most of my life and my study of philosophy, creativity, the higher mind pales in comparison to the window I have access to right now; of the inner workings of my own soul. Its like I am in a fast track MBA program, but its all about me, getting my voice, seeing clearly where I have given away my power in the past, along with all other creative yearnings and revelations about myself. To top it off I didn't have to spend a cent on airfare or accommodations to go off to India, Tibet or walk the Camino to gain access to it.
Menopause traveled consciously is the road to self empowerment and enlightenment ladies. Experience it for yourselves.
