Why does libido disappear in menopause — and is it ever coming back? That's the question pelvic health physiotherapist and author Lisa Fitzpatrick hears in her clinic almost every day, and it's the…
You were talking about this kind of, I don't know, transmutation process of how do you turn this kind of grief and these feelings and then transmute them into this growth.
So if there's a woman who's listening and she's going through, whether it's a breakup or it's just that period of menopause where she's feeling like she's completely lost herself, Do you have any suggestions of like processes or whatever that she can go through to equally try to transmute that into something to a higher version of herself?
I believe that every woman has an equal access to a very small, still, quiet voice and that enables her to receive divine guidance that's incredibly benevolent and supportive and kind and loving.
It requires us to have periods of deep, deep silence, which is why I have a silent practice every morning and also why I do my silent tea ceremonies regularly.
Because when we're immersed in silence, finally the noise of the world and the distractive forces that would have us really being derailed from our life purpose disappear.
We can start to release those and really hear the guidance, the internal guidance system that is always, always guiding us.
It never turns itself off our entire life and it's never too late for us to hear it either.
And I think if I had one practice I'd offer women is to not be frightened to actually sit in the quiet of your own sense of, you know, your own sense of self.
Even though I've been a yoga teacher and practiced a lot of different meditation practices, I'd always pinned my attention on some kind of practice.
But to actually sit with my own soul without having any scaffolding and to let myself fall and to let myself kind of be held by the cosmos, there was a lot of pain and there were a lot of hours of me not even being able to sit upright because the pain was so bad I had to lie flat to actually cope with that practice.
But I think if we can feel that moving through us, we reach that voice in a stronger way than we did before.
And so what it's done for me in my life is it's given me a course correction that's enabled my compass, the needle on my compass to point to the true north more strongly than it ever did in my old life.
And I believe women, you know, it's a spiritual awakening that menopause affords us, that gives us access to that power.
