How much do I love that I'll be making this transition in the year of the Serpent in 2025! In the Tarot, my zodiacal card is Strength. The letter Teth of the Hebrew alphabet is meaning snake. I embraced this transition into the Crone, but you have opened up a whole new perspective! Many thanks and much love.
@@AlchemyofMenopause You are spot on! It is in my soul destiny to disseminate the knowledge I gather. I'm preparing to create my first tarot deck and write the guidebook to go along with it. I am in infant stages, of course, but I have compiled several journals from daily pulls. Perhaps my second book can focus on tarot during the transition to the Crone. Thank you so much for seeing me. I see you as well and I think your teachings are much needed in these times. So many women are taught to work against rather than with their bodies. Many men as well but that is not my area, of course. Much love to you, friend.
This is fabulous, I hope your work reaches far and wide. At 64, I still have the occasional hot flash - I call them heat waves - and smile about it. That rising heat always felt healthy to me. Like my power rising. It makes me sad that so many women have been bamboozled into believing that the signs of our growth are “symptoms” of our decline to be resisted and suppressed. You are doing GOOD WORK here!
Thank you! Wonderful advice. Aligns with Japanese translation 'season renewal'. Now, the energy is for woman, not dependents. Maiden Mother Goddess Crone.
Deep gratitude for this. I'm 52 and in my first year of full menopause. Just started waking up hot in the middle of the night. Never had the opportunity to watch another woman go through this and Western Medicine is scares me.
I never heard of the Kundalini in this way before, it’s so interesting and I started going through peri menopause late year and I had the kundalini awakening also . I always wondered why that happened and I loved it so much i want to experience it that intense again☺️ Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏻
First time in your channel, spirit add your channel to my feed and I was like the heavens opened up for me. I have been trying to figure out if kundalini and menopause were the same thing and here you are 🎉🎉🎉 I started acupuncture therapy to help me with the hot flashes and the emotional state of being
Same. I've just missed my first period at 52, and I've been lying in bed feeling this heat she's talking of the past few nights and rather than resisting it, welcoming and thanking it. I am fully embracing my transition into the powerful Crone. The Maiden and the Mother are still inside me, of course, but it is the Crone's time to take center stage!
A liver/gall bladder cleanse has reduced my hot flashes. It's also linked to inflammation/congestion in the body. Having congestion in my liver, left me slipping into wrath. It's gone now. Sometimes you need to alchemise trauma too. It's best to go at it from a mind/body perspective. It's not all Kundalini energy.
So beautiful. I have been on a similar yet different journey. It helps and inspires me to know that although sometimes I feel alone in my wishes and hopes. More women are feeling, speaking, teaching and sharing what could not be destroyed, hidden within. Poetry, writing, stories have risen with my heat, yet I never imagined being an Author. My first book Bird Song will be published by Pegasus in January. "I have become a skilful dancer with the fierce goddess of heat" So empowering, I'll remember that quote. Step up and lead is the New Moon quote and my wishes. "I wish Bird Song to fly into the hands of many women. I wish the voices of the wells to speak again and you are one of them. I wish to be wealthy. I dream of using my wealth to build women's sanctuaries. Small, beautiful, sustainable houses in new growth forest. Rewilding throughout the world.

You explained this very well. Thank you for making this video & the lovely meditation. I just recently learned 2025 will be the Year of the Snake 🙂 Very fitting 🔥🐍🔥
@@nadia11119 Each one to their own sister. I've worked with hundreds of women over the last ten years going through menopause and witnessed them transform their journeys. It seems you re having anger issues - but that's ok. Owning and taking responsibility for our anger is part of the heating energy of menopause. I wish you well on your journeyxx
Wow thank you so much❤ this is absolutely a loving way to work with our energi. Everything comes into once life for us to expand and grow. I love this and it was very easy for me to se and feel the snake havent looked T the snake in this way before even though i practice kundalini yoga but its how you talk about it that made the difference for me. Fierce heat godess energi❤❤❤❤❤
That was a lovely meditation! I respect kundalini as a powerful energy to be danced with. Also aware that according to eastern medicine (original, traditional medicine), the liver can overheat due to suppression of emotions and digestive imbalances. Over time this can result in a fury of heat to rise upward into the head. Practicing qigong these last ten years, along with a simple diet filled with plenty of greens helps to gentle the kundalini experience.
For some people, no amount of meditation, yoga or breathing relieves menopause symptoms. Even people who can control & move kundalini energy can suffer from the symptoms. Menopause also brings bone density loss, lipid imbalances, changes in ligament & tendons, etc. Some women experience decades of hot flashes. Yes, all of these suggestions are very helpful and can support integration, however, there are options to have relief & prevent the other issues with menopause. You can still go on a spiritual journey without having debilitating hotflashes. Do not ignore the other health issues of menopause by taking a spiritual approach. You can be a "wise woman" without having hotflashes, osteoporosis, high cholesterol, and pain.
What a beautiful explanation! I’m happy I found this video! I’m 51 and premenopausal, no hot flashes yet but finger joints became fragile, hoping to find spiritual explanation for this.
Joints - I would journal on the question, "In what ways have I felt undervalued or been undervalued in the way I've been treated. Am I carrying lack of value for women in my motherline?
Not going through menopause but Jesus this entire year I had intense heat inside my body (the most intense in solar plexus for months) now it’s a relaxing heat that moves sometimes to my heart area or my back. I know it’s different from a hot flash because I had hot flashes when I used to have nightmares when I was a teen, this heat feels like it’s coming from within me. I feel it daily (in a gentle way) and I even look forward to it.
My kundalini completely ignighted in my spine and guided me to certain exercises that magnified it even more. I was flying high for five years while I was also peaking in menapause. I already had a kundalini equation before menopause and kundalini activation sorta went side by side. Not easy. Burned off everything I ate and I got really skinny then couldn't digest anything and it brought out all kinds of latent illness which I'm still balancing 10 years later. No one could understand why I lost so much weight during menopause. Wild years those were.
This was a wonderful video, thank you! Although I have not experienced hot flashes, I do experience headaches on a regular basis. I am trying natural methods to alleviate the symptoms and to learn about their triggers.
First time in your channel , ytb had this on my feed. Some years ago i start having hot flashes. I discovered then, that they were triggered by thoughts. The first time i saw the connection the thought was constitutional amendments, i was like that triggered my hot flash? It was really cool, making the connection. Then, i realized every time that my boss will say, i have an idea, that will trigger them too. Her ideas were always causing more problems than solutions. Later i discovered, i can stopped them by tapping on my head. And later i discovered that sugar, triggered them. Once i stopped having sweets, the hot flashes totally went away. Your take is really interesting, and makes sense. If i have one again, i will do what you suggest. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting how these very linear things like constitutional amendments and your bosses hierarchic ideas triggered hot flashes - they were going against your natural soulful needs. And yes sugr is a biggy- in a way when we go for sugar we are trying to sooth something but it does the opposite,
Thank you for your explanation. This makes a lot of sense. When it started it was too much, too quick in row and too intense. I was exhausted, my clothes were wet from the sweat and the flash held on until I ran outside and stood in the cold. I used medication for a while. Then, I started waning them off. Now I'm without any medication, and it's bearable. Hotflashes are now mostly triggered by an intense feeling of shock or anxiety and sometimes just by wearing too many clothes in a warm car😅 I'm very interested in what you say about the kundalini. I haven't had children and my period was always weak, like it couldn't get started and then there was a feeling of "okay, leave it". I had one time a kundalini experience, just on the verge of being awake/sleeping. I felt and "saw" the kundalini energy slowly going up through my spine and then coming to a standstill at my 3rd eye. All very calmly, no great exlposion through my crown chakra, just like my period always has been, very diminished. Nevertheless, that day I was in bliss, had more energy, and felt on top of the world❤
That's great that your kundalini energy rises calmly and you are able to see it, benefit from it...What do you think is the core feminine wound that you are healing and transforming during this powerful menopausal inititation?
@AlchemyofMenopause it's has probably to do with sinking more and more in my femininity, something that has been put aside by me for a long time. My mother wasn't well, much suffering from tiroid problems after giving birth to us, overweight, always tired, had no energy. I was basically on my own having to deal with my first periods, boy friend, leaving the house... I only saw me being a woman as a burden. Meanwhile that has changed a lot, but still work to do there🙏
I'm not going through menopause but I had a kundalini activation at 40 yrs of age. Its been an ongoing process since. I do look forward to see what happens when I do go through menopause
Wonderful information! I am already about five years into menopause, so I wish I had encountered you when I was going through these changes. For, as a spiritual seeker, I was convinced that there must be some higher purpose to the hot flashes. I have such faith in nature and the natural processes of the body. None of the dialogue about medication or the horrors of menopause resonated with me. When they woke me up in the middle of the night, it was usually just before I was about to have a flash, and I would just lie there and notice And be present with the energy moving through my body. I found it fascinating to observe! But it was inconvenient being woken up so many times in the middle of the night over a period of years. But I never found them uncomfortable. I was fortunate that they were not so intense as I hear other women experiencing I was just very curious about the energy moving through my body.May all the women who need this information Find you.🙏🌿💫
Thank you so much, I was just thinking the hoy flashes got something to do with the Kundalini energy, because as you say some of them are from the spine up, others from the head down so I am observing , also with certain emotions the hot flashes come. Thank you again for this is very valuable information❤
I’m menopausal and Ive had a kundalini awakening and I feel one has nothing to do with the other. Or at least your explanation hasn’t convinced me. Menopause is a physical and hormonal process of change and kundalini is a spiritual awakening process. What you’re saying is vague, confusing and I don’t think you’ve experienced Kundalini energy.
Hi Nadi, I think it would be interesting for you to look at what is behind all these comments - usually if we don't agree with someone we move on unless there is something more going on. You listen to my videos to criticize - for me that's very interesting in itself. Sending you love on your journey. By the way I m a quarter Indian and experienced a kundalini awakening in 1990 in India.
I have to agree that I can’t correlate kundalini with menopause. I had a kundalini awakening at age 36 when my kids were little after intense series of years of daily mediation and energy work. It is NOT a sensation of heat, for me anyway - it was a complete dissolving of my self into the Oneness of all creation, Tons of creative energy moving through me, and a release of old deep wounds. I have not hit menopause yet myself so I don’t know how it will change that energy but I guess I’ll find out…. BTW The original commentator should be allowed to question everything, imho. We are allowed to have our own experiences and points of view. No need to make her feel like there is something wrong for disagreeing with you. Maybe she’s trying to protect women from thinking they’ve had a spiritual kundalini awakening when really they are just hormonally changing. ❤
@@kellykay217 Hi Kelly, I just noticed that the commentator listened to all the videos and criticized them all - I wondered why she bothered to listen to so much of someone she disagreed with that is all. Of course people can critize and disagree, but usually if a teacher isn't for you she isn't for you...but we don't need to stay around just to disagree or f we do it makes me wonder what is being triggered thats all. The way I see the energy of kundalini during menopause is like the Buddhist, Tummo meditators and the fierce goddess of heat - it's also contained through the fact that it is a natural process coming through the body rather than being worked on and aimed for. through meditation. It's softer but that doesn't make it less spiritual. I agree with Marion Woodman when she says Becoming crone is spiritualizing matter xx
Probably why the study of higher spiritual aspects of kabbalah were not permitted until one was a married woman age 46. My awakening heat was more a purge through the whole lymphatic system, but hot flashes are like being burned alive. Pueraria mirifica from Thailand is apparently the best thing to ease the burn as it balances the hormones. ❤
I'm finding it hard to aleep at night because of getting hot flashes becauae of going through this for some time now perimenopause symptoms for some time since i'm in my early 50's but ive been on a spiritual journey aince 45 yrs old ao i needed this spiritual guidance! 😊💖😇🐍🧘♀️⚖️✌️💫🌟🌚🌞💞☯️🙏.
Im 59…& my guides have said I’m not having hormonal flushes. I now get the flushes when I’m meditating or connecting with my guides via pendulum use. My kundalini was locked up at age 11 and was only recently unlocked. It’s also called cosmic fire. And I have a different heat when my guides are close…my chest neck and upper arms get hot. Not so black and white 🦋
That's very interesting, but I've been going through menopause for about 8 years now, mainly hot flashes and insomnia.. so does that mean im blocking it? Because when the hot flush comes, i just want to die...... it brings me down not up😢 help...❤ i love the meditation, i started crying as soon as I visualised the serpent at the base...thank you
Hi there and thank-you for sharing. I would practice working with the serpent energy that brought up the emotional response . It could be because you hate and dread the hot flashes so much you are resisting snd maybe trying to control them or even unconsciously resisting what needs and is asking to be transformed. Any big feminine wounding in your motherline?
I am watching this channel first time but I actually noticed that when my OCD gets worse my hot flashes gets worse!!! Last year I was talking to myself that I should really battle my OCD urges to remove those flashes. And now,I am hearing you that there's reason behind hot flashes. Am I getting this right that body tries to tell me to combat OCD and heal?
Yes, I would suggest that the hot flash could be trying to burn through the anxiety or triggers linked to the OCD. Menopause is a great time to get to the bottom of things like OCD so you can heal 😍
I've had spontaneous Kundalini rising, and it's completely different from menopause hot flushes. I think you may be trying to find a connection between the two but it's very different. Hot flushes are connected to hormones, food, drink and the metabolism, not spiritual energy
@@nicki3668 hi Nick, it’s not because something is triggered by hormones that it isn’t spiritual. That’s the whole problem with menopause in our current very patriarchal value system. We are not honoring the power and spiritual aspect of this state that has huge potential for inner transformation and spiritual growth. I had a kundalini awakening when I lived in India (I’m a quarter Indian). What’s so great about hot flashes is that the rising energy is natural and not forced. As Marion Woodman the amazing jungian analyst who took depth psychology into the feminine said, becoming cringe is all about spiritualizing matter. The body and its natural processes ARE spiritual. ❤️
I am beyond menopause, but never really had not flashes. Only if I ate too much sugar. My naturalist/herbalist recommended I cut out all sugar and gluten when I turned 50/at perimenopause and it made all the difference!
Yes! My peri symptoms diminish when I eat more omega 3s. I feel way more level emotionally and mentally. I don't believe we are supposed to suffer. We are supposed to live, grow and learn ❤
Kundalini Awakening is a rare, deeply transformative spiritual process that ultimately leads to enlightenment/liberation. Yogis and other spiritual seekers, meditate for decades and don’t awaken the Shakti energy. This is certainly not something that routinely awakens in menopausal women! I think hot flashes are often related to an imbalance of Pitta Dosha, hence why they tend to be aggravated by spicy foods, alcohol and other things that increase Pitta.
Hi Marie, It's earth energy - I spent a year in India and had a kundalini awakening (i'm also a quarter Indian) . I'm sick of reducing women's most empowering potential to symptoms - its so reductive. As Marion Woodman, the amazing Jungian analyst who took depth psychology into the feminine said, crone wisdom is spiritualizing matter. We need to honor menopause as a deeply spiritual experience. I have been working with hundreds of menopausal women over ten years and have witnessed time and again once they have the road map there's no stopping them. If we continue this reductive narrative about women going through menopause we will prevent women attaining true wise woman stature in the world when the world needs it the most xx
@ I accept some of what you’re saying, I just don’t accept the menopause/kundalini narrative. I also feel that many people who claim to have had a kundalini awakening have actually experienced heightened pranic activity/prannotthana. A true and complete Kundalini Awakening is extremely rare, takes many years to fully integrate and results in a complete neurophysiological transformation. I commend what you’re trying to do i.e. empower menopausal / post menopausal females, but for me the menopause/kundalini narrative downplays the seriousness of an intense (and sometimes destructive) spiritual process.
@@mariej5319 Hi Marie, Let's beg to differ on this or we can meet in the middle. You are saying by making the connection between menopause and kundalini I am downplaying the transformative power and potential danger of kundalini and I am saying by not honoring the rising heat of the feminine transformation as a kundalini energy (naturally contained within the developmental stage of perimenopause) we are downplaying the spiritual power of menopause and the danger to women and the needs of the planet in not honoring the spiritual journey of reclaiming the dark goddess.
@@AlchemyofMenopause Mmmm ok 🤔. Kundalini is consciousness itself, so I guess in a sense everything is Kundalini and will be affected by Kundalini! It’s just the allusion to its awakening/ rising that I’m at odds with. There you go half way! 😊
I luckily rarely have hot flashes (yet), and the rare occasion I have one it is a short subtle one. However when I take too much of my current favorite hot ginger drink, I get a fit of hyperrage. Also the food supplement co enzym Q10 has the same effect. The high tension in my body, irritability and short temper are my most prominent perimenopause symptoms (along with a completely erratic menstrual cycle) so I spend lots of money on anything that calms me down, but sometimes the maximum dose of valerian root or extra strong sleep tea just doesn't cut it and then I'm thankful for the existence of Xanax. ✌️
Hello. Great video. This is something i always felt to be true. Have not heard anyone ever talking of this other than yourself. I have a question. How would ut work for males?
Hard to tell because I'm not a male. Men can work with the kundalini energy, but I think it is a real gift of the feminine journey towards wise womanhood, we just need to allow this fierce goddess of heat to guide us.
@@AlchemyofMenopausethat’s an ignorant answer. All men and women have both masculine and feminine energy and they require both to be active through the chakras to achieve balance.
@@nadia11119 Hi it's you again. Of course men and women contain masculine nd feminine or yin and yang energies. Just menopause work is feminine work so we tend to work with what is coming up for women. I see my work is triggering you. Sending love to you sister
Get out of sorrow? That sounds like a fantastic accompaniment to the trauma therapy I'm about to start (from the mainstream medicine field) Do you have a recommendation for online sources, like your favorite UA-cam channel, regarding this specific type of yoga? I have so far only liked the channel by Yoga With Adriene myself.
I didn't have hot flashes. I didn't even feel menopause, just stopped bleeding. I would like to know the name of that heat meditation so I can practice that now that I don't go through the menstrual purification
Kundalini has much deeper meanings which are related to consciouses level of the person. It is actually dangerous to work on kundalini in that way. Watch out ladies
Hi Alexandra - thanks for your comment, but I have to beg to differ and to emphasis that a lot of the problem of what is happening for women during menopause is that its extremely deep meaning and potential for consciousness development is not being honored. Menopause is NOT illness its a doorway to the next thirty years of a woman's life and a portal to her wisdom when lived through consciously.
I am wondering what drives women to gatekeep and police (at least, that is how it feels to me) other women's Kundalini experiences - is there a belief that menopausal women haven't 'worked' for it? Or is there a sense that Kundalini awakening is a 'one and done' activity rather than a cyclical process that unfolds over a woman's life in their own unique way? Or are these technical objections because of the complexities and dogma of the ancient tradition that this concept comes from? I'm not judging the commenters or attributing motivation - just curious and trying to make sense of what lies beneath all of this.
@ No, just terribly freezing feet and legs for 2-3 hours. Nothing helps (moving, warm bath etc.). I found a blog where this was discribed and felt understood for the first time with this symptom
@@dem6284 I would look at where there has been abandonment or deep solitude in your life or the life of any of the women in your motherline. Also the lack of circulation which is probably the physical cause can point to emotional uncertainty and a resistance to what is ahead of you.
Turmeric paste is excellent for inflammation and the brain 1/2 cup of organic turmeric powder 1 cup filtered water (and a little more) 4 teaspoons organic black pepper powder 6 tablespoons of mct oil or coconut oil Mix water and turmeric in pot on a low heat for seven minutes or so, adding more water if paste gets too thick Remove from heat, stir in oil and pepper. Put in clean jar, keep in fridge for up to two weeks. I take a heaped teaspoon or more in water. Daily.
I'm obviously not the teacher for you because for me the processes of the body and the body are not separate from our spirituality. You might want to explore the work of brilliant Jungian analyst Marion Woodman who talks about becoming crone is all about spiritualizing matter i.e. the body.
I found hot flashes to be debilitating, I was having them almost hourly with increasing intensity… I could not function. I had to get on HRT in order to get my life back. So while I would have loved to move through this transition gracefully, I had no choice but to find some kind of relief in order to survive.
How much do I love that I'll be making this transition in the year of the Serpent in 2025! In the Tarot, my zodiacal card is Strength. The letter Teth of the Hebrew alphabet is meaning snake. I embraced this transition into the Crone, but you have opened up a whole new perspective! Many thanks and much love.

Not going through menopause but Jesus this entire year I had intense heat inside my body (the most intense in solar plexus for months) now it’s a relaxing heat that moves sometimes to my heart area or my back.
I know it’s different from a hot flash because I had hot flashes when I used to have nightmares when I was a teen, this heat feels like it’s coming from within me. I feel it daily (in a gentle way) and I even look forward to it.
Sounds like a very supportive heat
I’m perimenopausal and most of my symptoms went away when i started box breathing.
That's fantastic - thank-you for sharing
My kundalini completely ignighted in my spine and guided me to certain exercises that magnified it even more. I was flying high for five years while I was also peaking in menapause. I already had a kundalini equation before menopause and kundalini activation sorta went side by side. Not easy. Burned off everything I ate and I got really skinny then couldn't digest anything and it brought out all kinds of latent illness which I'm still balancing 10 years later.
No one could understand why I lost so much weight during menopause.
Wild years those were.
That's why the alchemical stages are so important in Menopause - might have needed some support integrating and embodying the fiery energy 😍
Wow! Thank you so much for this 😊
Wow....I am grateful for this Meta,morphosis....and grateful to have happened upon this video~ Thank You~
Welcome
This was a wonderful video, thank you! Although I have not experienced hot flashes, I do experience headaches on a regular basis. I am trying natural methods to alleviate the symptoms and to learn about their triggers.
First time in your channel , ytb had this on my feed. Some years ago i start having hot flashes. I discovered then, that they were triggered by thoughts. The first time i saw the connection the thought was constitutional amendments, i was like that triggered my hot flash? It was really cool, making the connection. Then, i realized every time that my boss will say, i have an idea, that will trigger them too. Her ideas were always causing more problems than solutions. Later i discovered, i can stopped them by tapping on my head. And later i discovered that sugar, triggered them. Once i stopped having sweets, the hot flashes totally went away. Your take is really interesting, and makes sense. If i have one again, i will do what you suggest. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting how these very linear things like constitutional amendments and your bosses hierarchic ideas triggered hot flashes - they were going against your natural soulful needs. And yes sugr is a biggy- in a way when we go for sugar we are trying to sooth something but it does the opposite,
Thank you for your explanation. This makes a lot of sense.
When it started it was too much, too quick in row and too intense. I was exhausted, my clothes were wet from the sweat and the flash held on until I ran outside and stood in the cold. I used medication for a while. Then, I started waning them off. Now I'm without any medication, and it's bearable. Hotflashes are now mostly triggered by an intense feeling of shock or anxiety and sometimes just by wearing too many clothes in a warm car😅
I'm very interested in what you say about the kundalini. I haven't had children and my period was always weak, like it couldn't get started and then there was a feeling of "okay, leave it". I had one time a kundalini experience, just on the verge of being awake/sleeping. I felt and "saw" the kundalini energy slowly going up through my spine and then coming to a standstill at my 3rd eye. All very calmly, no great exlposion through my crown chakra, just like my period always has been, very diminished. Nevertheless, that day I was in bliss, had more energy, and felt on top of the world❤
That's great that your kundalini energy rises calmly and you are able to see it, benefit from it...What do you think is the core feminine wound that you are healing and transforming during this powerful menopausal inititation?
@AlchemyofMenopause it's has probably to do with sinking more and more in my femininity, something that has been put aside by me for a long time. My mother wasn't well, much suffering from tiroid problems after giving birth to us, overweight, always tired, had no energy. I was basically on my own having to deal with my first periods, boy friend, leaving the house... I only saw me being a woman as a burden. Meanwhile that has changed a lot, but still work to do there🙏
Fabulous- many thanks ❤
Thank you.. I have been looking for this info for years ❤
welcome xx
I'm not going through menopause but I had a kundalini activation at 40 yrs of age. Its been an ongoing process since. I do look forward to see what happens when I do go through menopause
Sounds like you will be prepared xxx
@@AlchemyofMenopause Thank you so much. Glad to have found your channel though my sister. Look forward to your future videos. God bless x
Lovely, thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this ❤️ 🙏
😍
Wonderful information! I am already about five years into menopause, so I wish I had encountered you when I was going through these changes. For, as a spiritual seeker, I was convinced that there must be some higher purpose to the hot flashes. I have such faith in nature and the natural processes of the body. None of the dialogue about medication or the horrors of menopause resonated with me. When they woke me up in the middle of the night, it was usually just before I was about to have a flash, and I would just lie there and notice And be present with the energy moving through my body. I found it fascinating to observe! But it was inconvenient being woken up so many times in the middle of the night over a period of years. But I never found them uncomfortable. I was fortunate that they were not so intense as I hear other women experiencing I was just very curious about the energy moving through my body.May all the women who need this information Find you.🙏🌿💫
Thank-you
Thank you!!
Thank you so much, I was just thinking the hoy flashes got something to do with the Kundalini energy, because as you say some of them are from the spine up, others from the head down so I am observing , also with certain emotions the hot flashes come. Thank you again for this is very valuable information❤
😍
I’m menopausal and Ive had a kundalini awakening and I feel one has nothing to do with the other. Or at least your explanation hasn’t convinced me. Menopause is a physical and hormonal process of change and kundalini is a spiritual awakening process. What you’re saying is vague, confusing and I don’t think you’ve experienced Kundalini energy.
Hi Nadi, I think it would be interesting for you to look at what is behind all these comments - usually if we don't agree with someone we move on unless there is something more going on. You listen to my videos to criticize - for me that's very interesting in itself. Sending you love on your journey. By the way I m a quarter Indian and experienced a kundalini awakening in 1990 in India.
I have to agree that I can’t correlate kundalini with menopause. I had a kundalini awakening at age 36 when my kids were little after intense series of years of daily mediation and energy work. It is NOT a sensation of heat, for me anyway - it was a complete dissolving of my self into the Oneness of all creation, Tons of creative energy moving through me, and a release of old deep wounds. I have not hit menopause yet myself so I don’t know how it will change that energy but I guess I’ll find out….
BTW The original commentator should be allowed to question everything, imho. We are allowed to have our own experiences and points of view. No need to make her feel like there is something wrong for disagreeing with you. Maybe she’s trying to protect women from thinking they’ve had a spiritual kundalini awakening when really they are just hormonally changing. ❤
@@kellykay217 Hi Kelly, I just noticed that the commentator listened to all the videos and criticized them all - I wondered why she bothered to listen to so much of someone she disagreed with that is all. Of course people can critize and disagree, but usually if a teacher isn't for you she isn't for you...but we don't need to stay around just to disagree or f we do it makes me wonder what is being triggered thats all.
The way I see the energy of kundalini during menopause is like the Buddhist, Tummo meditators and the fierce goddess of heat - it's also contained through the fact that it is a natural process coming through the body rather than being worked on and aimed for. through meditation. It's softer but that doesn't make it less spiritual. I agree with Marion Woodman when she says Becoming crone is spiritualizing matter xx
Thank you.
Probably why the study of higher spiritual aspects of kabbalah were not permitted until one was a married woman age 46.
My awakening heat was more a purge through the whole lymphatic system, but hot flashes are like being burned alive.
Pueraria mirifica from Thailand is apparently the best thing to ease the burn as it balances the hormones. ❤
I'm finding it hard to aleep at night because of getting hot flashes becauae of going through this for some time now perimenopause symptoms for some time since i'm in my early 50's but ive been on a spiritual journey aince 45 yrs old ao i needed this spiritual guidance! 😊💖😇🐍🧘♀️⚖️✌️💫🌟🌚🌞💞☯️🙏.
When I first wake up.
Might be helpful to take your time and feel into what is coming up to be burnt through before you begin your day.
Im 59…& my guides have said I’m not having hormonal flushes. I now get the flushes when I’m meditating or connecting with my guides via pendulum use. My kundalini was locked up at age 11 and was only recently unlocked. It’s also called cosmic fire. And I have a different heat when my guides are close…my chest neck and upper arms get hot. Not so black and white 🦋
Good to hear that you are mastering the heat xx
Interesting when you consider that most everywhere, also amongst Buddists, women, especially post-menopause women, are considered useless.
Exactly- but in the shadow of this negative patriarchal judgement about post menopausal women is a deep fear of the power of the older woman. xxx
@@AlchemyofMenopause true that, but you'd think Buddhists, not being a religion of the Book, would have had more respect...
@@kifi672 Sadly Buddhism is as sexist as the next organised religion.
That's very interesting, but I've been going through menopause for about 8 years now, mainly hot flashes and insomnia.. so does that mean im blocking it? Because when the hot flush comes, i just want to die...... it brings me down not up😢 help...❤ i love the meditation, i started crying as soon as I visualised the serpent at the base...thank you
Hi there and thank-you for sharing. I would practice working with the serpent energy that brought up the emotional response . It could be because you hate and dread the hot flashes so much you are resisting snd maybe trying to control them or even unconsciously resisting what needs and is asking to be transformed. Any big feminine wounding in your motherline?
Thank you, I'm trying my best ❤
@@rosedaoud7365 That's all you can do - sending you strength and inspiration on your journey of becoming a wise woman xx
I am watching this channel first time but I actually noticed that when my OCD gets worse my hot flashes gets worse!!! Last year I was talking to myself that I should really battle my OCD urges to remove those flashes. And now,I am hearing you that there's reason behind hot flashes. Am I getting this right that body tries to tell me to combat OCD and heal?
Yes, I would suggest that the hot flash could be trying to burn through the anxiety or triggers linked to the OCD. Menopause is a great time to get to the bottom of things like OCD so you can heal 😍
I've had spontaneous Kundalini rising, and it's completely different from menopause hot flushes. I think you may be trying to find a connection between the two but it's very different. Hot flushes are connected to hormones, food, drink and the metabolism, not spiritual energy
@@nicki3668 hi Nick, it’s not because something is triggered by hormones that it isn’t spiritual. That’s the whole problem with menopause in our current very patriarchal value system. We are not honoring the power and spiritual aspect of this state that has huge potential for inner transformation and spiritual growth. I had a kundalini awakening when I lived in India (I’m a quarter Indian). What’s so great about hot flashes is that the rising energy is natural and not forced. As Marion Woodman the amazing jungian analyst who took depth psychology into the feminine said, becoming cringe is all about spiritualizing matter. The body and its natural processes ARE spiritual. ❤️
Mine happened at age 50 🙏🧘♀️
I am beyond menopause, but never really had not flashes. Only if I ate too much sugar. My naturalist/herbalist recommended I cut out all sugar and gluten when I turned 50/at perimenopause and it made all the difference!
Yes! My peri symptoms diminish when I eat more omega 3s. I feel way more level emotionally and mentally. I don't believe we are supposed to suffer. We are supposed to live, grow and learn ❤
Kundalini Awakening is a rare, deeply transformative spiritual process that ultimately leads to enlightenment/liberation. Yogis and other spiritual seekers, meditate for decades and don’t awaken the Shakti energy. This is certainly not something that routinely awakens in menopausal women!
I think hot flashes are often related to an imbalance of Pitta Dosha, hence why they tend to be aggravated by spicy foods, alcohol and other things that increase Pitta.
Hi Marie, It's earth energy - I spent a year in India and had a kundalini awakening (i'm also a quarter Indian) . I'm sick of reducing women's most empowering potential to symptoms - its so reductive. As Marion Woodman, the amazing Jungian analyst who took depth psychology into the feminine said, crone wisdom is spiritualizing matter. We need to honor menopause as a deeply spiritual experience. I have been working with hundreds of menopausal women over ten years and have witnessed time and again once they have the road map there's no stopping them. If we continue this reductive narrative about women going through menopause we will prevent women attaining true wise woman stature in the world when the world needs it the most xx
@ I accept some of what you’re saying, I just don’t accept the menopause/kundalini narrative. I also feel that many people who claim to have had a kundalini awakening have actually experienced heightened pranic activity/prannotthana. A true and complete Kundalini Awakening is extremely rare, takes many years to fully integrate and results in a complete neurophysiological transformation. I commend what you’re trying to do i.e. empower menopausal / post menopausal females, but for me the menopause/kundalini narrative downplays the seriousness of an intense (and sometimes destructive) spiritual process.
@@mariej5319 Hi Marie, Let's beg to differ on this or we can meet in the middle. You are saying by making the connection between menopause and kundalini I am downplaying the transformative power and potential danger of kundalini and I am saying by not honoring the rising heat of the feminine transformation as a kundalini energy (naturally contained within the developmental stage of perimenopause) we are downplaying the spiritual power of menopause and the danger to women and the needs of the planet in not honoring the spiritual journey of reclaiming the dark goddess.
@@AlchemyofMenopause Mmmm ok 🤔. Kundalini is consciousness itself, so I guess in a sense everything is Kundalini and will be affected by Kundalini! It’s just the allusion to its awakening/ rising that I’m at odds with. There you go half way! 😊
I luckily rarely have hot flashes (yet), and the rare occasion I have one it is a short subtle one.
However when I take too much of my current favorite hot ginger drink, I get a fit of hyperrage.
Also the food supplement co enzym Q10 has the same effect.
The high tension in my body, irritability and short temper are my most prominent perimenopause symptoms (along with a completely erratic menstrual cycle) so I spend lots of money on anything that calms me down, but sometimes the maximum dose of valerian root or extra strong sleep tea just doesn't cut it and then I'm thankful for the existence of Xanax.
✌️
Hello. Great video. This is something i always felt to be true. Have not heard anyone ever talking of this other than yourself.
I have a question. How would ut work for males?
Hard to tell because I'm not a male. Men can work with the kundalini energy, but I think it is a real gift of the feminine journey towards wise womanhood, we just need to allow this fierce goddess of heat to guide us.
@AlchemyofMenopause ok thank you for response. Much appreciated
@@AlchemyofMenopausethat’s an ignorant answer. All men and women have both masculine and feminine energy and they require both to be active through the chakras to achieve balance.
@@nadia11119 Hi it's you again. Of course men and women contain masculine nd feminine or yin and yang energies. Just menopause work is feminine work so we tend to work with what is coming up for women. I see my work is triggering you. Sending love to you sister
To awake Kundalini power try Sahaja yoga meditation
You will get out of all your health problems and sorrow
Get out of sorrow?
That sounds like a fantastic accompaniment to the trauma therapy I'm about to start (from the mainstream medicine field)
Do you have a recommendation for online sources, like your favorite UA-cam channel, regarding this specific type of yoga? I have so far only liked the channel by Yoga With Adriene myself.
I didn't have hot flashes. I didn't even feel menopause, just stopped bleeding. I would like to know the name of that heat meditation so I can practice that now that I don't go through the menstrual purification
The Buddhist meditation is called Tummo -
Kundalini has much deeper meanings which are related to consciouses level of the person. It is actually dangerous to work on kundalini in that way. Watch out ladies
Hi Alexandra - thanks for your comment, but I have to beg to differ and to emphasis that a lot of the problem of what is happening for women during menopause is that its extremely deep meaning and potential for consciousness development is not being honored. Menopause is NOT illness its a doorway to the next thirty years of a woman's life and a portal to her wisdom when lived through consciously.
I am wondering what drives women to gatekeep and police (at least, that is how it feels to me) other women's Kundalini experiences - is there a belief that menopausal women haven't 'worked' for it? Or is there a sense that Kundalini awakening is a 'one and done' activity rather than a cyclical process that unfolds over a woman's life in their own unique way? Or are these technical objections because of the complexities and dogma of the ancient tradition that this concept comes from? I'm not judging the commenters or attributing motivation - just curious and trying to make sense of what lies beneath all of this.
Thank-you fro this - my thoughts exactly xxx
❤️
Thank you very much. What about cold flashs (legs) instead of hot flash? What does that mean?
Is is cold sweats?
@ No, just terribly freezing feet and legs for 2-3 hours. Nothing helps (moving, warm bath etc.). I found a blog where this was discribed and felt understood for the first time with this symptom
@@dem6284 I would look at where there has been abandonment or deep solitude in your life or the life of any of the women in your motherline. Also the lack of circulation which is probably the physical cause can point to emotional uncertainty and a resistance to what is ahead of you.
@ Thank you very very much for your answer. Your point resonates deeply.
Keep on going with your wonderful channel
@@dem6284 😍
Hot flashes are not good for your brain!
Neither is patriarchy xxxx
Turmeric paste is excellent for inflammation and the brain
1/2 cup of organic turmeric powder
1 cup filtered water (and a little more)
4 teaspoons organic black pepper powder
6 tablespoons of mct oil or coconut oil
Mix water and turmeric in pot on a low heat for seven minutes or so, adding more water if paste gets too thick
Remove from heat, stir in oil and pepper.
Put in clean jar, keep in fridge for up to two weeks.
I take a heaped teaspoon or more in water. Daily.
This is NOT a Kundalini 😂 This is all about Hormones of the body. Check with medical doctors.
I'm obviously not the teacher for you because for me the processes of the body and the body are not separate from our spirituality. You might want to explore the work of brilliant Jungian analyst Marion Woodman who talks about becoming crone is all about spiritualizing matter i.e. the body.
I found hot flashes to be debilitating, I was having them almost hourly with increasing intensity… I could not function. I had to get on HRT in order to get my life back. So while I would have loved to move through this transition gracefully, I had no choice but to find some kind of relief in order to survive.
That's ok. You could still work on what it was that needed burning through so much.
Thank you.
This was both enlightening and empowering, just what I needed.
