We are talking about a very relevant stage in women’s lives; a turning point. And as such, a process that can be lived with openness, and then go through its various challenges with the will to evolve; or with resistance, and then experience them with all the discomfort that means leaving the habituality in which we lived.
And it is true that, from the age of 45, or even earlier, with the onset of perimenopause, hormonal changes begin to take place that not only bring irregularities in the menstrual cycle, sleep disturbances, hot flashes, weight gain, etc., but can also strongly affect us on a mental and emotional level. Because, it is said that the gradual decrease in estrogen and progesterone can impact the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin (altering mood and sleep), dopamine (altering motivation/pleasure), norepinephrine (alertness/hot flashes) and GABA (anxiety/calm).
And all of this, which revolutionizes the chemical balance of our brain, can cause states of anxiety, depression, sadness/grief, etc. Even more, it can stir our subconscious and reveal issues that had been hidden deep within us.
Therefore, it is important to approach this cocktail early and with awareness, which can be explosive. While it is true that we have little chance to control what happens on a physical level (except for Hormone Replacement Therapy whose use must be appropriately evaluated); It is also true that we can work to influence what happens on a mental and emotional level.
And here lies a great opportunity to squeeze and take everything that this wonderful stage makes possible: an awakening with the power to understand that, behind hot flashes, irritability, sadness, etc. There is a life that perhaps deserves to be revisited, reflected on and fundamentally, healed in body, mind and spirit. An opportunity to raise our level of consciousness, joyfully embracing a time of greater authenticity, freedom and plenitude that, without a doubt, each of us is capable of building.
And, as an ontological coach and brain coach, I can help you address each challenge consciously and organically, through a strategy designed based on your particular situation and integrating several ancient and powerful disciplines, including Qi Gong (chikun) and conscious breathing techniques.
