MENSTRUAL CYCLES

 

The  problems experienced by women during their monthly cycles often have two origins: suppressed emotions which translate into physical manifestations, and synthetic hormones which take control of the body in ways that conventional medicine does not fully understand.

​

Strong emotions are often a wake-up call to address issues that are being dismissed. This is why so many women experience anger or even full-blown rage at the time of ovulation or before their periods. If nothing is done, it can lead to depression, which is often the expression of anger turned inward.

PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH

​

Homeopathic medicines are ideal to use in pregnancy as they are gentle and without side-effects.

​

My grandmother gave birth to 11 children at home, and 2 of these were twins. My mother always jokes that giving birth to me and to my brother was like 'a letter going through the letterbox'. I gave birth to my daughter in 2 hours; I pushed for 15 min and then suddenly heard the midwife say: 'Open your eyes, your baby is born!'. I had not felt her go through. My son was born in 2hr30, and I walked around the corridor at the hospital through the contractions before popping up on the table to give birth.

​

I wish this kind of birth process to every woman. My own experiences were as close as can be to orgasmic birthing, and I did not know then that such a thing existed.

​

I certainly have good genes, but I cannot help wondering to what extent did the stories of the women in my family, which overrode the narrative I had heard in the media and from friends, contributed to the ease of my own experiences.

 

Is it far-fetched to think that this might have been the norm at the dawn of humanity and for thousands or years? Would the human race have survived otherwise? 

​

I recently read about conscious conception in ancient societies, the process by which the parents-to-be connected with the soul they wanted to welcome into their family, before engaging in sacred union.

​

Far from dismissing the difficult birthing experiences of many women, or from being judgemental about personal choices, I only want to introduce ideas for changing the disempowering narrative imposed on women by modern medicine.

​

Women are carrying a heavy burden of collective grief in their wombs, because the feminine ways have been destroyed and forgotten.

MENOPAUSE AND BEYOND

​

​

The menopause is not just about hormones. There is a big emotional aspect to it, particularly around anger, which comes from unprocessed emotions imprinted in the nervous system.

​

The menopause is a journey into yourself, the most empowering phase of your life.

​

When you stop ovulating, you keep the creative life force energy of your ovaries for yourself. It's been used every month to ripen eggs, thicken the uterine lining, support the ebb and flow of hormones and potentially give life to another being. Nature is now inviting you to utilise this energy for your own well-being and to share your wisdom.

 

Homeopathy is the ideal companion during the menopause because it balances all aspects of the being, working on the cause of hot flushes, night sweats, insomnia, anxiety, rage, and any other aspect of you that is being revealed.

​

It is also important to cultivate your sexual energy. This is your source of nourishment and health, the feminine jewel that will accompany you into old age, whether you are on your own or in a relationship.

 

If you choose to go on the HRT because life can be overwhelming with the demands of a family or a job, do look after yourself with some natural support for your long term health, and with a view to gradually liberate your body from added hormones, be they 'bio-identical'.

​

​

Good to know:

The first thing to try for hot flushes in perimenopause is the Australian Bush Flower She Oak. 7 drops morning and evening .

​

To encourage energy and blood flow, de-armor your body on a regular basis by releasing the tension accumulated in your tissues over the years from rough or unskilled lovers, repressed emotions, traumas, etc... This is one of the practices I teach in my coaching sessions

​

Eat essential fatty acids. Fats are the building blocks for hormones. That's why fat-free diets don't work.

​

For a very good mouthwash, add 3 drops of Hypericum and Calendula mother tincture and 1 drop of the Australian Bush Flower Spinifex to 1/4 cup of water
