Did you know that lack of sexual desire is the number one reason why people seek out sex therapy? They believe society’s narrative that healthy people have a “sex drive” that propels them to have sex. When a person does not feel like having sex, they automatically assume that there is something wrong with them.
Drum roll, please. This is the moment we have all been waiting for. This, my friends, is the 4th chakra, the heart chakra.
As women, we experience hormonal fluctuations throughout our lives. Menopause is part of the natural aging process and involves physical, emotional, and hormonal changes. The same hormones that affect us during menstruation are the same hormones we experience in menopause, but they can affect us in a number of different ways. Mood changes can leave us feeling out of control, irritable, and fatigued. Luckily, you are empowered to help yourself!
Many women view menopause as a time of loss, physical discomfort and negative emotions. However, many common discomforts of menopause can be alleviated using yoga, breathwork, and meditation.
The thought occurred to me today that if energy flows where attention goes then the $10 billion dollar a year self-improvement industry in the U.S. alone is actually contributing to the perpetuating mental and emotional belief that “you are not enough” exactly the way you are. This contradicts every sacred text and teaching that I have ever come across. You exist therefore you are enough. Your essence was born from the frequency of the Source of all life. That is enough to make your existence completely and fully valid.
I find that my relationship with myself is greatly affected by my body awareness. Practices like yoga, which require listening to my body and bring me into my body in the moment, help me; these activities are now important paths that I travel repeatedly on the way back to myself.

As the political climate has become more desperate over the past few years, and social media has become a powerful force in all of our lives, it’s no wonder many people are left feeling confused, empty, disconnected, and lost. To avoid these feelings, we often turn to reckless or careless behavio or just plain old denial. Unfortunately, none of these strategies is effective, and we are left feeling just as bad, or worse, about the whole situation.
When you think of a powerful being, do you think of yourself?
Why or why not is that, do you suppose?
Often times, when we ruminate on personal power, we may think of an archetypical superhero dressed up in their costume, ready to save the day.
Or perhaps we envision a famous celebrity, who seemingly has the world at their fingertips. It seems that our society has bred us to look externally at other people and things to feel a sense of power.
