The ultimate positive, practical guide to menopause. Kate Codrington, a therapist at the cutting edge of the menstrual movement, offers a new vision for menopause, reassuring you that though you feel like you' re going mad you are in fact, becoming sane. Written for women who love yoga but hate the chanting; practise mindfulness but don' t meditate, Second Spring is divided into digestible sections addressing the psychological and physical issues at each stage of the menopause. Though hot flushes might be expected, most women do not anticipate the psychological effects and find these extremely distressing. This book is unique in that it maps the psychological phases of menopause. The autumnal perimenopause with its need to let go, a wintery deep menopause with the need to rest, followed by a re-birth in Second Spring. Each section is accompanied by a range of self-care practices to suit every taste. There are journaling prompts, practical tips and soulful enquiries encouraging hope and trust in the journey ahead where menopause is an initiation and not a catastrophic ending - part of a change for good, and a healing process that wants us to be bigger, brighter stars.
' If you want to do menopause differently than what our society tells us it must be, if you feel an inkling to take back menopause on your terms, then get this book. I can think of dozens of women I want to send this book to!' Karen Brody, Founder, Daring to Rest and author of Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation' With the warm hug of a kind friend, on point humour and the ease of well-honed expertise Kate Codrington has written an essential companion for women from pre perimenopause through to post-menopause. Jane Bennett, menstrual educator and author, founder Chalice Foundation' Second Spring reads like the voice of a dear and wise friend sharing her hard-earned wisdom and secrets. In cultures focused on youth, menopause can be a lonely time. Kate Codrington has sourced a wealth of seasoned guidance to navigate and celebrate the mind body and spirit aspects of the menopausal journey. ' Tami Lynn Kent, author of Wild Feminine, Wild Creative & Mothering from Your Center' This book is chock full of ideas about how to not simply get through menopause, but also how to grow through menopause. It rides the fine line between acknowledging the awful truths that are part of this change while at the same time holding out hope for what comes next. There is no one-size-fits-all map for menopause, and this book offers a wide variety of suggestions and resources to choose from. Jane Cawthorne, Co-Editor, Writing Menopause: An Anthology of Fiction, Poetry and Creative Non-Fiction. ' This is a wonderful book to accompany you through menopause. Wise, irreverent and above all kind. It will help you navigate the seeming madness and suffering that too many experience. Instead of feeling it' s the end, you might just discover yourself, and that can only spell freedom. Alexandra Pope, co-author of Wild Power: discover the magic of menstrual cycle and awaken the feminine path to power
