MENOPAUSE is our SECOND CHILDHOOD, Ladies!
Know this, write this where you can see it every day, feel thankful, and get playful right now!
Here is some history if you need proof!
1. Native American cultures view menopause as a renewal or rebirth, marking the transition into a wise elder's role. The post-menopausal phase is return to spiritual purity and increased connection with the Earth or ancestors.
The idea of "childhood" here of course is symbolic pointing to a fresh stage of life unencumbered by reproductive essentials!
2. Daoist philosophy in China sees menopause as a return to the body's foundational energy or "original QI," reminiscent of the energy of childhood. This phase is associated with the opportunity to focus inward, clean out the cultural muck, and gain clarity on self and other.
3. Subsaharan African communities, explicitly regard menopause as the "second childhood" that is intensely transformative. Again, this is the celebration of freedom from reproductive responsibilities and the restrictions that come with it.
4. Hindu traditions focus on the concept of life stages (ashramas) includes the Vanaprastha stage, where individuals, having fulfilled family and societal duties, withdraw and focus on spiritual life. This is metaphorically the "second childhood," representing a new phase of growth and learning for both men and women.
Menopause in these representative cultures focuses AWAY from this stage being about your numerical age and attributing it to your physical age and sensibility.
Much to celebrate, Ladies!
