Breathing Through Menopause: Insights from The Menopause Sisters
We're always breathing, and when we learn to use it more consciously and skillfully, we are creating that environment, we are supporting that environment that aligns with the natural laws, that supports the body's ability to heal itself.
How do you navigate the stormy seas of menopause? Dr. Claire Phipps and Caroline Phipps-Urch, affectionately known as The Menopause Sisters, are here to guide you through it. In this episode, they chat with Dr. Ela Manga, an integrative medical doctor renowned for her work in mind-body medicine and wellness, particularly breathwork. Dr. Manga shares her expertise on how conscious breathing can be a game-changer for managing menopause symptoms like hot flushes and anxiety.
The conversation dives into techniques like the sitali breath, which can bring immediate relief during those intense moments. They also discuss the bq system, a tool for emotional and mental self-awareness created by their sister Viola Edward. This system helps women identify and tackle limiting beliefs that might be holding them back. Beyond breathwork, the episode explores the benefits of yoga and the importance of personal growth during menopause.
Whether you're experiencing menopause firsthand or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you through this transformative time.
