Menopause, yoni steaming and the witches
Are you giggling or do I have your back up? It is interesting to observe the reaction in oneself at a few words placed next to each other. But seriously, what is my point?
Was it hallucinogenic plants used by the witches during yoni steaming that made them ‘fly’ due to tropane alkaloid intoxication? Now that is the topic of an upcoming article.
Could a hot flush be the result of the ‘ignored’ pituitary gland as it fires its message: ‘make an egg!’ to the ovaries repeatedly, but in vain?
We know that the pineal gland can alter the behavior of the pituitary gland. Is it possible for the pituitary gland to affect the pineal gland? Could intuition be strengthened by the ‘overactive’ pituitary, stimulating our pineal gland? Is this one reason why our spiritual and dream life awakens during peri-menopause and menopause?
Menopause may result in you being tired, irritable, feeling down, lacking sleep and struggling with headaches or migraines. Now spare a thought for what your partner is going through! But then, as with everything in life, there is an upside. Menopause can also be a rewarding time with a rich dream world, enhanced spiritual life, sharper intuition and related abilities you have only dreamt of before.
In addition to you doing your own research, read the outstanding article on menopause by Dr Bernard Brom in this week’s newsletter.
