		<description>In my experience we actually get more intuitive post-menopause. Especially if we have taken time while menstruating to develop our intuition. But it nonetheless is disorientating when the monthly cycle ceases, and it takes a while to understand that a cycle persists but at a more subtle level. We are still linked to the moon, bleeding or not.</description>

		<description>Dear Lara! You have an interesting background being psychotherapist. Next time I will get my period I will go to my local florist and buy some moss and then sit on it while bleeding and meditating. I will find it exciting for my last period shortened from five to two days. If what I will lose my periods, won&#039;t do that of my psychic abilities, will I? I will thank you for giving your mantra I will test if that will bring more balance in my emotional life. I feel very grateful finding this site and you. With many blessings and hugs from Kaisa.</description>

		<description>It gladdened me very much to find this article now online.  It was important to me the first time I found it in Whole Earth as well.  

My personal spirituality is based on earth awareness, though I participate in Tara activities when they happen here locally.  And my particular focus upon moon time has been one of pain, for I have endometriosis.  The blood does not all go when and where it is supposed to in my body and it has deep repercussions upon all levels of my personal incarnation.  Without your insights, here and in more elaborate form in your book, I think I would not be as reconciled to my own femininity.

Now as I struggle to reach crone status and surcease of the immune challenges from moontime, it helps me to see the cycles as part of a way of beauty.  Thank you.

		<description>Hello from south central B.C. - Lara, as a male open to assimilating/understanding information re: patriarchal dominance (historically) I&#039;m very appreciative of the information I&#039;ve crossed paths with here. I sense humanity interfacing with a wondrous return (reacquaintance) with the essence of the &#039;feminine flame&#039; which has been somewhat disengaged from our consciousness throughout this past epoch. This is to say we&#039;ve been living an illusion due to lost knowledge of everything &#039;menses&#039;. I hope I&#039;m clear. I&#039;ve been greatly inspired by the writing of one Peter Moon (pen name). His recent book &quot;The Montauk book Of The Living&quot; contains some &#039;uncommon knowledge&#039; and one example I&#039;ll offer is some not too-well known information of  &#039;immaculate conception&#039;. I was quite blown away! Hope you find this interesting pertinent. I&#039;d appreciate some further exchange on this subject.</description>

		<description>Jennifer, thanks for your kind words. Do please add a link. I have been writing about menopause for a while now, and will be adding a piece to this site once it is ready, so do check back. Yes, I agree with you -- the cycle persists, but it operates more subtly. There is still a need for periodic retreat and inner connecting. 
Love and blessings, Lara</description>
