Menopause - Overview

The End of Menstruation Celebrating Freedom and Wisdom Imagine grace. Imagine wisdom.Picture transcendence.Envision the height of spiritual growth.Visualize the flowering of all your natural womanly powers. Freedom at last....
Excerpts from Carine Fabius, Ceremonies for Real Life

'Experiencing Menopause' is experiencing a transition in life for a woman. No more periods, no more child-bearing, no more milk producing capability are but some of the things that immediately hits a woman. There are also changes in appearance and less vaginal secretions that follow.

This transition can be the most traumatic and at times psychologically depressing but there are two sides to it: on one side there is sadness and gloom but on the other there is liberation and freedom from the monthly routine and perhaps sometimes more wisdom and maturity.

Menopause is often surrounded by misconceptions and myths, however Menopause is a natural step in the process of aging. Contrary to the old-fashioned view that life is all downhill after Menopause, many women today sometimes with the help of medicines find that the years after Menopause offer equal challenges and opportunities to her.

The transition-taking place biologically is indeed very crucial as a part of the ageing process. The ovaries stop producing eggs, menstrual activity decreases and eventually ceases and the body decreases the production of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone.
