Meditation for Perimenopause

We all know that meditation is great for us - but how can it specially help with perimenopause symptoms?

The array of symptoms that can accompany perimenopause include a lot of mental and emotional changes. This are contributed to both the changes in our hormones which can create anxiety, anger and sometimes depression, but also the emotional turmoil some woman feel with this transition.

Meditation can certainly help to deescalate strong emotions. It can be an extremely useful tool for navigating this changes, as we begin to witness our thoughts as an observer, we learn how to regulate strong emotions, and we can begin to accept and embrace ourselves no matter what reactions we may have had on a particular day.

This Perimenopause Meditation

This perimenopause meditation focuses on creating a sensation of relaxation and calm that can sometimes be missing. It also brings in awareness of the sensation of cold, and I have some positive affirmations in there as well, to help you embrace yourself and these changes.

Other Recommended Meditations

Honestly, I personally believe any meditation would be great. But higher on my list of recommendations would be:

• Loving Kindness Meditations - That focus on accepting and loving yourself

• 61 Point Relaxation Meditation - A really good one to do in bed to help you sleep (once you know the sequence, or are happy to make something similar up, it is also helpful to get you back to sleep)
