Nobody ever prepares you for menopause. Nobody tells you that if you are going to have hot flushes or emotional instability they are likely to be far worse before you stop menstruating than afterwards. Nor does anybody explain that waking regularly at two or tree in the morning and lying in bed filled with sadness or fear or anger is likely to be not some aberration of nature, but a messenger announcing that menopause is near. And because we are told so little about menopause few women in our culture are prepared for the intensity of emotion - both anguish and joy - that can accompany the end of the childbearing years, nor do they know what to do with it. Despite my knowledge about health I was totally unprepared for 'the change'. I had no idea of the freedom that is available to us on the other side of it. Not the freedom advertisers would have us believe comes with a pair of Levi 501's or using the right tampon or sanitary towel so we can 'have fun' at any time of the month. It is a freedom of body and soul which enables each woman to live out the truth of who she is and to experience unfettered her full enjoyment of life. The first step towards a natural menopause is to claim your right to freedom. But to do this you need to make a shift in the way you think about menopause itself.

The radical and fundamental changes which take place in a woman's life around the time of menopause are not signs of decay or pathology, but part of an exciting adventure. This is a time to regenerate and rejuvenate our bodies, to unearth parts of our personality that have been hidden beneath the responsibilities of the childbearing years, a time to discover that our creativity is no longer bound to our obligation as a member of the human race to propagate the species. Now that the childbearing years have ended, menopause brings the freedom to surrender to passionate lovemaking without fear of pregnancy, or to refuse sex altogether if we choose. It brings freedom from the emotional ups and downs that often accompany menstruation as well as the freedom to feel radiantly fit and well. You no longer need to be bound to your role as mother or servant, wife or lover. Anthropologist Margaret Mead claimed that passing through menopause brought a woman 'post-menopausal zest'.
