Menopause: A Time of Transition
As a life and business coach for women, I invite my clients to intentionally “honour and celebrate” life milestones as a means of anchoring the importance of these events and bringing more depth, meaning and fulfillment to life.
In my work and in my personal life I am immersed in the transition of “menopause” and experienced a profound and freeing shift in thinking upon reading an interview with Barbara Marx Hubbard (“What Is Enlightenment” magazine, Fall 2005) where she uses the word “regenopause” to describe the life transition of menopause and beyond. Marx Hubbard says “When a woman in her menopausal years is overcome by a profound impulse to co-create and to self-evolve, this signals a next phase in the life cycle of the feminine. I asked for a word that would describe what I was going through in my postmenopausal years—the internal liberation, as well as the desire for co-creation—and the word just flashed: regenopause.
Regenopause happens when the woman gets so turned on to her creativity and her life purpose that it starts to activate her at the cellular level. When an increased spiritual desire to participate in evolution crosses over into the aging process, it sends a signal that says, “We're not finished, folks. We're not ready to go yet. It would be a waste of evolutionary time to die now because look what it took to get us here!” http://www.wie.org/j30/hubbard.asp

And finally, notice the shifts that occur for you when replacing the word "menopause" with "regenopause". How might this affect your health?
