I Never Dreamed That Menopause Would Lead to My Second Youth!

This is what they call post-menopause in Japan and many African countries.

The second youth.

Who would have believed this with the patriarchal programming we have been given about age, women and menopause?

In my early menopause, I have peeled away all that was not true within me and I have returned to my original blueprint, my innocence, the essence of my soul that I came here with.

The many unpleasant symptoms of menopause are, in my eyes, wrongly morbidized and labeled as a failure of our female hormones.

If there is anything my journey has taught me, it is that the wisdom of the body far exceeds what our human mind can understand.

On the physical hormonal level, our hormone mirror changes, or rather returns to the image we had in childhood.

In my experience, nature already has the medicine we need to support us in this transformation process and return to the Mother.

Spiritually, I have experienced the transition as an invitation, a return, an embodiment, homecoming and rebirth into a more feminine and soulful existence, where I have become one with Mother Nature again.

This is Mother Earth calling us home to ourselves and Mother consciousness again.

In this consciousness, I have become one with the Moon, the Sun, the Sea, the Wind, the Earth and the Trees in a way I never dreamed was possible.

Here my worth is no longer defined by what I do, how I look and how much I earn.

Here I am enough exactly as I AM.

As I see it, the hero's journey takes us on adventures, away from the mother and ourselves.

We meet many "demons" out there until we are ready to reclaim our sovereignty.

It is the heroine's inner journey that brings us back home through redemption and integration of our wounds and life experiences created from them.

Both serve our learning here in the school of life on Earth.

Every Birth requires a Death.

This is where the immature inner masculine within us must die to be reborn.

This is Yahshua (the Sun King) being born of the Virgin Mary (the Moon Queen) and anointed by Mariam Magdalene (the Sun Queen) so that he can die and rise again as the anointed/united King.

This is the invitation of the new age for all of us.

I have experienced many of the symptoms of menopause as an awakening of the kundalini shakti energy that wants to rise and awaken to heal us so that we can begin to embody the light of our soul.

It is the old and worn out skin that wants to be released so that we can be reborn into a more integrated and whole version of ourselves.

I have experienced my transition as a sacred feminine initiation, where I have been swept away by the sometimes violent waves of the “sea”.

The more I was/am in resistance, the more violent and painful the journey became.

This resistance is often unconscious, as we have been programmed/colonized to fear the unknown.

We have been programmed/colonized to fear the deep dark feminine, but it is this part of us, it is the exiled sacred feminine that holds the key to the rebirth of our souls, individually as well as collectively.

All that is dark/black is shamed and debased by the distorted patriarchal legacy we carry and it is our responsibility to cleanse it.

It is through the dark feminine dimension that we rediscover the umbilical cord that leads us back to Mother Earth.

It is our responsibility to find out what we are carrying, that is not aligned with the light of our soul.

My transition/awakening and transformation has involved much pain both physically, emotionally and spiritually.

As I learned to surrender and ride the waves instead of against them, the more I could be with them and integrate them, the more whole and authentic I became.

It has required a lot of energetic and emotional healing to reach the other side, which I feel I am emerging now.

Through radical self-love and the awakening of my inner Mother through womb healing, I have learned that the pain and discomfort, whether physical or spiritual, were simply the parts of me that called for love and homecoming.

My inner Mother is the source of my inner love that heals me and holds and contains it all.

My transition was a shamanistic transition/initiation where, like in the myth of the goddess Inanna, I had to die from everything I was, in order to be reborn in the authenticity and power of my soul.

I have now landed in a completely new reality where I no longer seek love and recognition in the outside.

Everything I seek is already within me.

My cup is filled from the inside out.

I Am The Holy Grail, that I was seeking on the outside.

The Desert Rose

In the world of the soul, it is never too late to bloom.

There is always a new chance to re-write your his/her story.

Only our human mind is programmed for limitations.

When we awaken compassion in our hearts, we can hold it all in love.

In love, we live in the present of what is, not what has been and what could be.

This requires a daily practice.

When we are in the Now, everything is possible.

This is how I feel when I am in nature.

I will be 50 next week, juhuu!!...and it is the first birthday in many years that I am truly looking forward to celebrating.

I feel my inner sovereign queen who, in her newfound innocence, is singing and dancing with rapturous joy.

I look forward to the next 50 years as a conscious co-creator of a more authentic peaceful life and world based on my soul's original blueprint.

My inner Grail Priestess has been brought back to life in this world.
