Pain is what many of us fear most. We all know the misery that can come from a sore back, a throbbing headache or toothache, not to mention children’s earaches. All too many also know the immobilizing pain of migraine.

“Your children are not your children,” wrote the Lebanese poet Kahil Gibran, “They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself…You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.” It is a quote I like, not only because—having raised four children by four different men on my own—I believe it to be just about the most accurate description of parenthood I have ever come across, but also because it emphasizes the ‘lightness’ which develops when you give up trying to be perfect and come to trust the processes of Nature—in feeding, in healing, in guiding you and your child towards what is best for his or her development at any moment in time.

How much energy we can call on, and even how clearly we can think—all these things depend greatly on how we breathe. Read More About The Secrets Of The Breath
I have long been sure in every fiber of my being that the joys of menopause are the world’s best kept secret. Like venturing through the gateway to enter an ancient temple, in order to claim that joy, a woman must be willing to pass beyond the monsters who guard its gate. As you stand at the brink of it, it can appear that only darkness, danger and decay lie beyond. And in a way this is true – although most certainly not in the way most women believe. For having myself passed through the doorway of menopause into the realms beyond—almost twenty years ago now—I am certain, as thousands of women from all cultures throughout history have whispered to each other, that menopause is the most exciting passage a woman ever makes.
