Rest is the medicine that allows the organic process of healing to move through us. Giving yourself kindness. 29:55 – Revelation – A subtle dawning of a new recognition of yourself. An acceptance and reception of yourself. 32:25 – Visioning – Full flourishing and receptivity of your capacity. Breakthrough with coherence. 37:10 – Emergence – Freshly minted clarity and innocence. Reborn, vulnerability and innocence as a buffer against bitterness and cynicism. “Second Spring”. 40:50 – Ritual to anoint and celebrate yourself – 1) Name all the qualities you have discovered or recovered during menopause – all of your strengths and brilliances. 2) Forgive anything in yourself that you feel still needs forgiving. 3) State some clear intentions for your future. 4) Allow plenty of time for this ritual. 44:20 – Menopause can deliver us to a place of deep belonging within ourselves. Union is the heart of the menopause transition. Understanding and removing our barricades to intimacy. 47: 20 – Attunement tools for Leadership – Keep Council with Emptiness
