THE DIVINE INITIATION OF MENOPAUSE
The word "Menopause" is often frightenting to many people--both women and men. Traditional medicine often says that it is a time when a woman will begin to have serious physical, mental and emotional symtoms which all lead to her becoming "old". Often, dangerous hormones are recommended which have terrible side effects that can eventuate in heart disease and cancer. Even television and radio commercials are now admitting this fact. Let us take a look , therefore, at the process of "Menopause". This time in a woman's life is more than the cessation of her menses. It is a spiraling process over time which has its ups and downs on an almost daily basis for a number of years, but it is also a wonderful time of increased wisdom and regeneration, revitalization and renewal of our entire being.
Menopause occurs on four levels, each of which has its own symptoms, but not every woman will experience all of them simultaneously. In fact, research has indicated that eight percent of women have no symptoms whatsoever at any level. Research is still being conconducted as to why. However, most women, then, do indeed have symptoms. During "Pre-Menopause", which can occur anywhere from the ages of 30 to the mid-40s, there can be intermittent hot flashes which come every few minutes for a few seconds for several weeks or months, and then suddenly disappear for a number of years. At this time, a woman's monthly periods can become either lighter or heavier, and she can have some mild fatigue. At "Menopause", more symptoms occur. There can be dizziness, nausea, depression, irritability, headaches, muscle aches, heart palpitations, insomnia, anxiety, weight gain, more hair or less hair in unusual places, skin rashes, etc. At the "Climateric", all of the symptoms of the Menopausal stage can become more pronounced as this is the "high point" of Menopause--like third -stage labor in the birthing process. Also, even more symptoms can appear such as loss of bone mass, wrinkled skin, sagging breasts, eyesight issues, etc. Now the average female is about early 50s to early 60s in age. Finally, the level of "Post-Menopause" occurs, and this can metaphorically be likened to the baby being born. In the case of the menopausal process, however, we are being re-born as wise women--as High Priestesses who can pave the way for the younger "sisters" who are going to enter into the "Divine Initiation" at some point soon or who are already in it.
At "Post-Menopause", like "post-birth", there can still be symptoms because we are recovering from from the erlier stages of the entire process. If women take care of themselves with proper nutrition, exercise, natural herbs, consultations with health care workers who are also spiritually-oriented, then the entire journey can be eased. The following are some of the steps that can be taken to ease the "Divine Initiation" at any stage.
Hot flashes=Black Cohosh or Motherwort hebal extracts (a dropperfull twice daily)
Fatigue=fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts throughout the day and a daily 20 to 30-minute walk
Heart palpitations=Motherwort herbal extract (a dropperfull twice daily)
Muscle aches=Arnica Gel, St. John's Wort Oil or Wintergreen Oil rubbed into the sore places
Insomnia="Bach Flowers" in "White Chestnut" or "Rescue Remedy" or Lavender Essential Oil (Rub the oil on the forehead and the temples and then sniff the remainder for several moments from the palms of the hands. Essential oils can also be difused in a special container called a "difuser").
Headaches=Peppermint or Lavender Essential Oil (Use in the same manner as suggested above).
Depression="Bach Flowers" in "Gentian" (mild depression), "Gorse" (deeper depression) or "Mustard" (serious depression--here, also consult a psychotherapist)
Elevated Blood Pressure=Motherwort herbal extract and/or Hawthorne herbal extract (Also place fresh garlic in food regularly and stay clear of salt).
Dizziness=the juice of a fresh lemon daily in each glass of water (Dizziness can also be related to a sluggish liver. In this case, we can place a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a cup of 1/2 organic apple juice and 1/2 organic grapefruit juice and drink this potion just before bed, and then sleep on our right side. The next morning when we eliminate, we will be flushing-out unwanted liver "debris" that is actually cellular debris.
At Menopause,in all of its stages, we should also take a good multi-vitamin and mineral combination which can be recommended by a health care worker. Exercise should consist of relaxing forms such as Yoga and Tai Chi. We can also release excess weight and help to alleviate muscle soreness and stiffness with these kinds of exercises. Water is a must! The current recommended amount is to divide your weight in half and drink this amount in ounces daily.
Earlier it was mentioned that the Earth is experiencing Menopause. "Her" hot flashes are the global warming; aches and pains and emotional upheavals are the earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions,etc. Women today just may be having more symptoms due to the times we are living in when the Earth's frequency is shifting at a quickened pace. The more that we respect Nature and make use of its wonderful resources the more we help to heal the planet and ourelves. Our water, soil and air has become toxic with chemical elements. This causes a reaction in the "consciousness" of the Earth, and thus, the "Earth Changes" happen as a cleansing process. We. too, are cleansing at Menopause, but more than this, we are experiencing the "Divine Initiation".
Before taking any of the above recommended substances, it is best to consult with your physician if you are already taking chemical prescribed drugs. Some herbs do not combine with chemical drugs. Most people are either "Allopathic" (involved in drug-driven therapy and surgery) or "Naturopathic" (the natural methods mentioned in this article). We are living in times when we must make a choice as to how we wish to address our wholeness. The natural way is always best, but we have the free will to choose. Some persons are being gradually weaned off of drugs by their physicians, and many physicians are even taking courses in spiritual and natural healing from health care workers who may not have attended "traditional" medical schools such as "Naturopathic Doctors", "Herbalists" , "Colon Therapists", etc. Healing is a Sprit-Mind-Body process. At Menopause women are certainly not ill, but they may feel as if they are, and if they are not use to living a natural lifestyle, they may quickly go to a traditional doctor or emergency room and become involved with drugs and unnecessary invasive tests and surgeries. It has even been reported that mammograms can cause the very disease to occur which the test is suppose to find. Looking at this and the entire Menopause process in metaphysical terms, when we look for something, the universe will answer us and give it to us! The sub-conscious mind takes its orders from the conscious mind. So, its "conversation" may go like this: "Well, since Mary is looking for this disease to happen, I had better get busy and give it to her; otherwise, I am not doing my job as her sub-conscious mind. I am not taking orders from her conscious mind like I am suppose to be doing."
The topic of the conscious, sub-conscious and super-conscious levels of mind is a very profound and serious subject which should be studied so that we can realize how we are often the contributors to our own health challenges, and this is one of the wisdoms of Menopause--being able to teach others how to use their mind power harmoniously and how to vibe with the rhythms of Nature.
