In last week’s newsletter, I shared part 1, about how a woman’s menstruation is meant to be a spiritual practice, to live in flow and harmony with one’s natural cycle. It’s not meant to be something shameful, icky or unwanted. If you missed it, you can read it here.
In Part 2, I’d like to bring a whole new awareness around menopause...
… the transitional years of when a woman stops menstruation into post-menopause. At the moment, menopause is so often only spoken about as a malady, a pain in the butt, and how women just lose their energy and spark…
Once again, the current paradigm has erased the divine feminine wisdom of this process. If you are willing to bring awareness ladies, this is an invitation to take menopause, for what divinity created it for, a very powerful, Spiritual Initiation.
There are 5 steps that most women will go through as they go through menopause:
⭐Betrayal
⭐Repair
⭐Revelation
⭐Vision
⭐Emergence
I didn’t know any of this information as I entered menopause right when I moved to Taos, over 4 years ago.
Interestingly though, I have always said, that my time here has been an initiation, innately I knew!
Now that I’ve learned about the 5 stages, I can see so clearly the 4 stages I’ve been through and how I’m in Emergence now, emerging with my new vision and direction: Divine Feminine Reclamation through Womb Awakening.
As a medicine woman, I’ve been through many initiations and they are NOT easy. They are full-on. You are tested, pushed to the limit, invited/forced to do your inner work, and asked to reflect and make hard decisions so that changes for the good can happen.
So here’s an invitation to hold your head high, open your heart and arms, and step boldly into the menopause initiation. If you do the work, you’ll gain new awareness of your inner power, wisdom, authority, purpose, sense of belonging, and leadership as you step into your second spring, post-menopause.
Let’s eliminate this: ̶M̶e̶n̶o̶p̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶=̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶t̶u̶r̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶o̶ ̶a̶ ̶u̶s̶e̶l̶e̶s̶s̶,̶ ̶o̶l̶d̶ ̶l̶a̶d̶y̶.̶
It’s actually about transitioning into leadership in confident eldership, being really clear on the mission of your life, and bringing it forth.
And another tip to the younger ladies, do your healing work in your 40’s or earlier. Otherwise, it will rear its head big time in menopause. There’s no sweeping things under the carpet.
Working with these energies and spiritual practices are part of the Divine Feminine Reclamation mentorship program. If you’d like support and want to learn more, you can read about it here and/or set up a discovery call with me.
Here’s to the growing shift and awareness of living a cyclical life we are meant to.
