Menopause – The body's invitation to look inward
For far too long, menopause has been described as something negative. Perhaps because it feels like an end, or a loss, and that something is over. It reminds us that we are actually aging and entering the last half of our lives, something many would rather avoid thinking about. Many women also experience physical ailments and discomfort during this phase, and the society around us has given far too little space to this natural process of transformation.
But what if we try to look at it differently? What if we start to see menopause not as an end, but as a doorway into something deeper? A transition – a new chapter – where our bodies are asking us to listen.
The body speaks – and it asks us to turn our gaze inward
When hot flashes, insomnia, restlessness or fatigue occur, it's easy to think that our body is failing us. But what if it's the other way around? What if our body is trying to show us something?
Over the years we have given of ourselves. We have carried children, given birth, breastfed, cared for, comforted and supported. We have been there for everyone else – perhaps to such an extent that we have forgotten ourselves. Now our bodies whisper – or shout – that it is time to return home. Home to yourself.
The discomforts are not a sign of weakness. They are a call for balance. An invitation from your body to finally be seen, listened to, and appreciated. It is your body's way of saying, "Now it's your turn."
A new fertility
Menopause does not mark the end of fertility – it marks a new kind of fertility . Now it is no longer children that we give birth to, but wisdom, dreams, creativity and new vitality. Now we can create for ourselves – and for the world – in a way that comes from the soul, not the womb.
According to Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine, this phase is dedicated to spiritual development . Now you are entering a time where you can create the life that will nourish you. You are becoming fruitful in your heart, in your mind, and in your soul.
Gratitude for our bodies
Let's pause for a moment and send our bodies some gratitude. Think about everything it has carried you through. It has been with you through every cycle, every joy and sorrow, every new life – whether it has been children, relationships, projects or experiences. It has been loyal, patient and powerful.
Now it asks you for something in return: to be taken care of. For real. With care, nourishment, rest, nature, breathing, peace. Not because you have to "perform" during menopause, but because you are finally allowed to dedicate the love you have always given to others – to yourself.
Natural ways to a better transition phase
When we begin to listen inwardly and give our bodies what they need, the transition phase will often feel easier – more harmonious and in flow.
If you experience Hot flashes, sleep problems, anxiety and mood swings – this is because hormones are changing and becoming unbalanced. When estrogen and progesterone decrease, it affects the entire body's internal rhythm.

Useful and simple lifestyle tips
🥚 Start your day with protein
A protein-rich first meal is invaluable for stable blood sugar, hormonal balance, and muscle mass maintenance. It gives you steady energy to face the day, and lays a healthy foundation for the rest of the day.
Good sources of protein: eggs, fish, meat, chicken, lentils, beans, cottage cheese, legumes and nuts.
🏋️ Move your body – especially with strength training
Regular physical activity reduces stress, lifts your mood, and puts you in touch with your own power. Strength training is especially important for maintaining both muscle mass and bone strength during this phase.
Choose something you enjoy – the most important thing is that it brings you joy and peace in your body.
🧘 Stress less, breathe more
Menopause is not the time to push – it’s the time to let go. Meditation, deep breathing, yin yoga, or just a few quiet minutes in nature give the nervous system a rest and the body time to heal.
😴 Get a good night's sleep
Sleep is essential for hormone balance and energy. Create a calming evening ritual and try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day.
Tips for better sleep:
- Sleep in a dark and cool room
- Avoid screens and bright light before bedtime
- Avoid caffeine, alcohol and sugar after 6pm
- Avoid eating after 8 p.m.
A sacred time
Dear Woman: This is a sacred time. A time to let go of old roles and demands. A time to listen to your inner voice and make room for your wisdom. You don't need to fix your body – you just need to hear what it is trying to tell you.
When we face menopause with respect, love, and spirituality, it transforms from something we fear to something we can embrace. An opportunity to become more whole. More real. More you.
💫 This is not the end. It is the beginning. 💫
