Hot flashes, sleepless nights, emotional turmoil, bad mood… And now no libido?
The arrival of menopause is not the same for everyone. Each woman is different, and she has her own catalog of symptoms associated with the process.
A young woman named Kashkai had been wandering near and far in her pursuit to explore the depths of her being. She gained experiences through various sexually liberating meditation programs and communed with many lovers. She realized we are all looking for something beyond the tangible world of sensations, but what is that sublime space, spoken of so eloquently by the Tantra Masters? What is the mysterious space of eternal love and oneness we are all looking for? What is this alluring intangible search?
As we make our journey through our 40s and beyond, we can expect a lot of physical, emotional, and mental changes. There are also a few adjustments when it comes to the bedroom, and I’m not talking about sexual desire…although that is an issue as well. No, I want to talk about vaginal atrophy.
The pelvic floor is a set of muscles and ligaments located in the lower part of the abdominal cavity, the pelvis. Its function is to support the viscera of the abdomen and pelvis (bladder and urethra, uterus, vagina and rectum). It supports the digestive, urinary (responsible for controlling urinary and anal continence), and reproductive systems.
Most of us, consciously or unconsciously, have a little fear that peeks out when we hear the word menopause. If we are very young, we usually let it pass as a distant noise that we do not even need to pay attention to. If we are approaching this stage, which may be in our 40s, we want to continue ignoring it, but the noise comes closer and more often. In the end, due to things that are happening to us in the body and in the soul, we must dare to inquire what that mysterious and even frightening word hides.
