πŸ‘‹ Dear friends, the menopause is often presented as an end, but what if it were rather a transformation? In the yogic tradition, detachment (vairagya) offers a valuable perspective for getting through this period with greater serenity and awareness.

Detachment is not indifference! Rather, it’s a way of observing our experiences in retrospect, as if we were sitting on the bank of a river, watching our emotions pass by without letting ourselves be carried away by the current 🌊

The changes we go through – hot flushes, sleep disturbances, mood swings – can be seen as invitations to reconnect with our deepest essence. Yoga offers us invaluable tools: gentle postures such as the child’s pose or legs against the wall, soothing breathing techniques (pranayama), moments of meditation… ✨

This period is also a wonderful opportunity to free ourselves from social expectations that no longer serve us, to listen to our inner wisdom and to rediscover our forgotten passions. Daily rituals take on new importance: a relaxing bath, a herbal tea savoured with full awareness, writing in a diary… 🍡

The practice of detachment helps us to navigate emotional challenges more gently. We are not our emotions – we are the consciousness that observes them. This perspective transforms our relationship with ourselves and others πŸ’«

Like the butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, we are invited to undergo a profound metamorphosis. The menopause can become a gateway to greater authenticity and inner freedom. There’s no β€˜right’ way to go through this transition – the important thing is to find our own rhythm and to be kind to ourselves πŸ¦‹

Let’s welcome this new chapter together with awareness and gentleness. The wisdom of yoga reminds us that every transformation is an opportunity to grow and develop further πŸ’–
