Loving life - when it’s sunny in Scotland and you can go still for a swim at 7 pm.

Loving the sunshine during a wee work trip to Brighton for some craniosacral training, another layer of energy medicine that listens to what the body has to say.

How is your body speaking to you ? And, are you ready to listen to her ?

5 years and a day and how life has shifted for us, yet nature still plants her seeds that bloom and return back to the earth like a mother you can trust deeply.

Yet, why do we have such difficulty accepting some of the seasons in our life ?

Can you be grateful that you have reached the age of maturity , whatever that may mean to you ? ☘️🍁🧡

✨Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in✨

Menopause and our Brain

New findings are connecting menopause and Alzheimer’s in a way that can no longer be ignored.

For decades, we assumed women were at higher risk simply because they lived longer. But the truth is more complex and more urgent.

Dr. Lisa Mosconi has been sounding the alarm for years and now the research is catching up. and now the research is catching up.

Dr. Mosconi’s work reveals that the drop in estrogen during menopause doesn’t just change our bodies. It changes our brains.

Recent years have shown that women aren’t just experiencing hot flushes and sleep issues. They’re experiencing real, measurable shifts in brain metabolism, often years before any cognitive symptoms are diagnosed.

This isn’t just a women’s health issue. It’s a research gap. A funding gap. And a health care gap that needs to be bridged.

Clinical trials that centre women. Diagnostic tools that account for sex-based differences. And real conversations that treat menopause as the medical and spiritual milestone it is , honouring the place of women in the world.

Because when we invest in understanding menopause, we’re not just improving midlife, we’re protecting the decades that come after it.

And the best news - is that energy medicine can help with cognition, memory and brain fog - we may not have the scientific evidence for that yet but plenty practice based evidence .

Thank you to Tamsel Fadel for these insights, and of course to Lisa Mosconi for her tireless research into this area 🙏

S*x and gender research could lead to better, more equitable treatments — if it is allowed to continue without political interference.

Your Body's Natural Rhythm in Menopause

Women often tell me:

"I feel like I'm running on empty."
"My body used to work like clockwork — now it's all over the place."

Did you know your energy shifts every hour of the day? During menopause, these rhythms can feel disrupted

In both Eden Energy Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, the 24-hour meridian clock is honoured — a cycle where different organ systems peak at different times of day, influencing mood, digestion, hormones, energy and emotional processing. Your body still has a rhythm — it's just asking you for a new way to listen 🙏

And now, science echoes this wisdom:
Microcirculation — the movement of blood through your tiniest vessels — also follows a circadian rhythm. It’s vital for cellular health, hormone delivery, emotional balance, and recovery. Especially during menopause.

During perimenopause and menopause, our internal rhythms become more sensitive. Hormonal shifts affect everything from sleep to stress resilience.

By tuning into your body's natural energy flow (instead of pushing against it) you can:

- Support hot flushes and improve sleep by honouring the times the Liver/Gallbladder are most active (11PM-3AM). These nighttime hours are crucial for detoxification. Try winding down before 11PM to give your body the rest it needs during this peak cleansing time.

- Ease anxiety and morning fatigue with gentle morning practices.

Between 3-5AM, your Lung energy is rising, supporting breath and emotional release.

If night sweats have you awake during these hours, try deep breathing to process built-up heat and emotion and allow energy for elimination between 5-7 AM with the Large Intestine.

- Boost mental clarity and digestion by eating when Stomach and Spleen energy peaks (7-11AM).

This simple shift can help manage the weight fluctuations and digestive changes common during menopause.

- Nurture your Kidney and Heart meridians throughout the day to support vitality and emotional balance during hormonal transitions.

In my work combining menopause medicine, trauma-informed care and energy practices, I've seen the remarkable shift that happens when women stop pushing against their natural rhythms and start flowing with them.

Your amazing body already knows how to navigate this journey. Midlife is the perfect time to start listening again. ❤️

As I deepen into post menopause , both personally and professionally , I was so excited to see that this is the next topic for Eden Energy Medicine Programs 💖

- Did you know that half of the population are “at risk of” menopause ?

- Did you know that when women are signposted to the right resources, that this is the most powerful transition a woman can make ?

- Did you know that the MOST powerful resource a woman has is connecting to her body?

- Did you know that by honouring women, they will change the world ?

For every woman will impact 50 others in her community - family , friends , colleagues.

The early bird for this class closes on Good Friday ( 18 April).

Check the post below for the link.

And, keep tuned, as this is where Nurture Your Energies is headed. And I’ve signed up to the journey !!

WHEN I AM AMONG THE TREES
by Mary Oliver

“When I am among the trees,
especially the willows and the honey locust,
equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,
they give off such hints of gladness.

I would almost say that they save me, and daily.

I am so distant from the hope of myself,
in which I have goodness, and discernment,
and never hurry through the world
but walk slowly, and bow often.

Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, “Stay awhile.”

The light flows from their branches.

And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”❤️❤️

Worth reposting again - thanks to Mary Oliver and her fans ! 🙏🏼

Dean village Edinburgh is within 10 minutes of the venue where I will be teaching the level 1 fundamentals in Eden Energy Medicine this year.

It’s a little haven of quiet and quirkiness in the middle of the city.

If you live in an urban environment , is there a place you can find some peace and quiet within yourself , remembering you are nature herself ?
