Favourite line from this podcast by far from @rachelanncrookes on when her peri-menopause symptoms started, "I think it probably started when I wanted to paint myself blue."

Oh the laughter 😂. I mean if we didn't laugh we'd cry :-)).

Ah, the dance of hormones and the healing power of ancient rituals—two worlds colliding! Perimenopause, the cosmic shift in a woman's body, and ceremonial cacao with breathwork, a journey into the depths of the soul. Quite the combination!

In this podcast - link in bio and comments….you can learn about our journey and how breathwork and ceremonial cacao helped with our perimenopause symptoms.

The magic lies in the synergy of mind, body, and spirit. Breathwork and ceremonial cacao each bring their own special sauce to the mix.

Breathwork, with its rhythmic patterns and conscious control, can help regulate the nervous system. This, in turn, might alleviate some of the physical and emotional rollercoasters that often accompany perimenopause. Deep, intentional breathing can be a powerful tool for managing stress, anxiety, and even those mood swings that seem to come out of nowhere.

Now, let's talk about ceremonial cacao. It's not your average hot cocoa—it's a sacred plant medicine. Cacao contains compounds that can boost serotonin and endorphin levels, acting as a natural mood enhancer. It's like a warm hug for your neurotransmitters. The ritualistic aspect of preparing and consuming ceremonial cacao adds another layer, creating a sacred space for introspection and healing.

Combine these two, and you've got a dynamic duo that addresses the physical and emotional aspects of perimenopause.

It's not a cure-all, but it can be a supportive and holistic approach to navigating this transformative phase of life. Plus, it's a delicious way to tap into ancient wisdom!
