M.E.N.O.P.A.U.S.E.  9 ways to support your menopause journey

Menopause is not something to ‘fix’. It is a natural transition for the female body, and a natural time of transformation.

Western lives and culture mean we may feel the challenge of the transition more than some other areas of the world where women report less symptoms. For some of us we may undergo an early or medical menopause, and for some of us our natural menopause can be hugely challenging emotionally, mentally and physically. If we are lucky our symptoms might be mild.

However we come to menopause, and however we journey through it, we can make it a positive experience as best we can. In this blog post I offer what I think are the9  key areas of our lives and tools we can use to help us to do this.  Are there things on the list that might help you manage your journey?

10 Reasons to Try Yoga Nidra
10 Reasons to Try Yoga Nidra

Yoga nidra means ‘yogic sleep’. It is an effortless yoga relaxation and meditation practice that anyone can do, by themselves with an audio recording or with the guidance of a teacher in person.

Yoga nidra brings you to a deeply relaxed state of mind and body, whilst you are still awake. This is the state between sleep and wakefulness (called the hypnogogic state in psychology), where you float between consciousness and unconsciousness, being aware of the resting state of the body and mind as it is happening in the moment.

Yoga nidra has been shown to be effective in supporting and healing many areas of body and mind including stress, tension, anxiety, insomnia, pain, trauma, addiction and PTSD.

I have found yoga nidra to be one of the best ways to relax and release my body completely, and one of the easiest ways to enter the meditative space. It really is effortless.

In this blog I offer ten reasons why you should try yoga nidra, and a link to ten free yoga nidra practices on my website.
