The Spiritual Root of Menopause

In our early lives, we’re thrown into the world as young adults and have to assimilate ourselves into the fast-paced society we live in.

Up until the point that one might experience menopause, much of those years were spent going through the motions, trying to accumulate and obtain, and to create and produce.

These years reflect the constant flow of the menstruation cycle that had always been pushing forward and cycling through phases behind the scenes.

During menopause, you may experience suppressed emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and past trauma, which emerge to the surface.

As the body rids itself of the necessity to reproduce any longer, spiritually and emotionally, you are being called to also let go of whatever baggage or burdens you may have stockpiled throughout the years.

Trauma and suppressed emotions are stored within different parts of our bodies.

When our bodies transition into menopause, these areas of our bodies begin to heal.

Everyone has different periods of highs and lows, and the trauma or suppressed feelings we have will be very different.

Our menstrual cycles will also be different, and what we go through will be unique to our own journey.

Menstruation takes a toll on you physically and uses a great amount of the body’s energy reserves.

As the body moves away from menstruation, it begins to reserve more energy and can allow this new abundance of energy to balance you physically, heal you emotionally, and purify you physically.

Going through menopause is like a phoenix going through the cycles of birth and death and rising from the ashes again.

Emotionally, trauma can begin to surface, and you’ll be met with high emotions and changes in your mood.

As your hormones change, they stir up the stagnant, thickened, heavy energies within you, and you’ll need to experience them in order to set them free. During this time, let yourself experience any emotion that stirs within you.

Allow yourself to sit in these emotions and feel the messages and truths they bring.

You may become aware of the root cause of certain emotional patterns you’ve dealt with throughout your life, and you can use this time to do the inner work that’s needed to find peace within yourself.

Once you allow yourself to sit with an emotion and experience it without resistance, that emotion passes and no longer exists within your energy.
