Leslie Kenton Passage to Power

Menopause is a time of celebration when our creativity is no longer bound to our obligation as a member of the human race to propagate the species. Often, for the first time in a woman's life, her creativity can be set free for use in whatever way the whispers of her soul dictate. Passage to Power debunks the science of menopause and criticizes many of the unhelpful medical practices surrounding it. It questions the benefits of standard Hormone Replacement Therapy, examines the politics behind such treatment and sets out the principles of natural HRT. It offers simple, safe, and natural methods to treat osteoporosis and to relieve the symptoms of PMS and menopause, and shows women how to reconnect with their deepest levels of intuition and instinct. Passage to Power also contains revolutionary scientific findings on the devastating effects of xenoestrogens - environmental chemicals to which western women are increasingly exposed: and on the extraordinary healing powers of natural progesterone - the hormone which exactly mirrors that produced by women's own bodies. Passage to Power will transform the lives of women over 35 who suffer from or fear the menopause.

Power, energy and freedom. These are meant to be the rewards of menopause. This is a book about how as women we can bring them into being. It is not about the benefits of HRT or how to cope with the "horrors of the change". Passage to Power explores the transformation in a woman's life that takes place between 35 and 60 as a journey towards individual freedom - a process capable of transmuting suffering into creativity, of regenerating body and spirit, and of unveiling the richness of a woman's soul. Along the way the book also takes a cold, hard look at HRT, exposes the common misconception that menopause is an `oestrogen deficiency disease', and scrutinizes the rampant misinformation surrounding the use of prescription hormones - sadly even among many otherwise competent doctors who use them too often because they simply don't know what else to do. It also gathers together diverse information about simple yet effective actions an informed woman can take to improve her physical health and appearance as well as to maximize her energy and to enhance the quality of her life, whatever her age. And it probes the spiritual nature of the menopause passage which must be experienced through myth and ritual, archetypes and dreams.

For ten years people have been saying to me "write a book on menopause." I have always refused. "I can't write about anything until I've experienced it." I used to say. When finally menopause arrived I was unprepared for it. Despite my knowledge about health I did not know what to expect. Neither had I any idea of the freedom that is available to us on the other side of the menopause passage. The freedom of which I speak is not the `freedom' that advertisers would have us believe comes with owning a pair of Levi 501's or popping in a tampon so we can swim during a period. 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 potential for aliveness. Only by doing this can we call forth our greatest gifts both for our own personal fulfillment and to share with our culture and the planet.

NEW IN PAPERBACK

Our role model today is someone like health and fitness guru Leslie Kenton who has pioneered the notion of the menopause as 'empowering' instead of 'debilitating' - The Daily Mail, 8 January 1996

The response to last year's hardback publication of Passage To Power: The Natural Menopause Revolution has been so overwhelming that the publisher has rushed out a new paperback edition just six months after the initial launch. Passage to Power was the book that every woman had been waiting for:

I have just finished reading your book "Passage to Power" and thought it was the most enlightening book I have ever read on the menopause. It should be compulsory reading for all women -
C M, Victoria, Australia.

It confirms for me so many of my own beliefs and experiences gathered over many, many years of searching for alternative answers to natural bodily/mind/emotional problems -
J M, London

Thank you so much for making this information available to women. It is long overdue -
M B, Bristol.

Leslie Kenton has received thousands of letters from women around the world who have found new answers to old worries. Their praise and comments reveal that for many women reading Passage to Power was a sharing experience. Leslie Kenton, 54, wrote Passage to Power after she had experienced her own menopause. "The joy about the menopause is the world's best kept secret. Nobody ever tells you this beforehand, it is a secret that every woman needs to discover for herself."

Passage to Power helps women face the menopause positively. It shows how the physical, spiritual and psychological changes can be handled dynamically and without fear. The book challenges accepted medical practices about the menopause and makes available information about the biological, ecological and spiritual causes of women's menstrual and menopausal miseries which have never been covered before.

Passage to Power:
- offers simple, safe and natural methods to relieve the symptoms of PMS and the menopause including the healing powers of natural progesterone.
- reveals ways to help prevent and treat osteoporosis.
- shows women how to reawaken their deepest levels of intuition and instinct on their journey towards individual freedom and self- expression.

"Advocates of natural menopausal remedies are opposed to the way HRT is sometimes used," says Leslie Kenton. "The use of drug-based hormones in most cases is costly both in financial and physical terms."
