“Menopause is a metamorphosis, like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. The caterpillar needs a cocoon, and so do you. One of the most important things you can do during menopause is to take time for you. Go into your cave, go into your cocoon, go into your room and shut the door.”
These are words I have said, and sung, over and over. Words whose truth rings in the hearts of so many women who hear me speak. Words that prompted one (famous) female MD to throw her arms around me and exclaim “I thought I hated my patients. Now I know I just need a year off!” But words whose full meaning took some time to get through to me.
The idea of taking time off during menopause is an extension of a moontime mystery teaching: A woman benefits herself and her community if she takes a day off during her menstrual flow, to go within and tend to herself. By taking care of herself, a woman has more to give to others. But even more importantly, when she gives herself this time, she may sense the presence of her “spirit band” (angels) - those who are too faint to be noticed when one is focused on the hubbub of everyday life.
During menstruation, and during the menopausal years, say my Native teachers, the “veil between the worlds” is thin and easily parted. Our abilities and senses are heightened and we are open to guidance, inspiration, illumination - but only if we give ourselves quiet time alone, free of responsibilities.
I believe in this idea so strongly that I actually pay my apprentices to take one day off during their monthly flow. But it was exceptionally difficult for me to give myself the same time off. After all, I had to keep appointments that had been made months in advance and involved dozens to hundreds of people. I can’t agree to be the keynote presenter at the National Institutes of Health conference on Women and Botanical Medicine and then tell them after I get there that I have to have the day off because I’m bleeding, can I?
So, even though I knew that my menopause would be more severe if I remained in the public eye, I again found myself unable to say “No.” And for once I was sorry to be right.
The first summer of my menopause was exceptionally hot, and it seemed to trigger hot flash after hot flash. At one big conference, I was so hot they finally put me to bed on a cot in the climate-controlled (air-conditioned!) herb storage building while everyone else braved it in tents. I awoke not totally refreshed (I woke those days four and five times a night), but not melted either, and smelling decidedly fragrant.
And then there was the class that walked off and left me. It was another hot summer day. My memory of most of those insufferably hot menopausal summer days is mercifully blank - or, perhaps more to the point, welded into a recollection of one ongoing unrestrained surge of molten energy blanketing me from belly to crown. But this particular day is vivid in my mind’s eye.
It was a staggeringly hot day. It was so hot that I decided after lunch to take my class of about twenty women to the river which runs through the back of my land. First, everyone had time for a little break to tend to necessities; then we were to meet at a certain place at a certain time to stroll to the river and look at plants along the way.
At the appointed hour, I showed up at the appointed place. By ones and twos, the students gathered. One asked me if I had a remedy for her headache. I asked her to get a glass of water and went into the house to get the herb she needed: skullcap. (How aptly named it is!) When I returned, in moments it seemed, no one was there except for the woman with the headache. I put ten drops of skullcap tincture in her glass of water, and asked where everyone was. “On their way to the river,” she replied, much to my surprise, chagrin, and dismay. They had walked off and left me with no students to teach.
It took me some minutes to work through my feelings of abandonment, and more still to work through my sense of loss. But when I did, I could see that my students had given me the gift of the afternoon off. They somehow understood - I finally understood - that I needed time alone, time away from responsibility and leadership. And if I didn’t have the sense to go into my cocoon, the Universe was willing to see to it that I was placed there by circumstance.
Ten years later, I look back and smile: remembering those sultry menopausal nights and steamy hot flash days. If I had it to do over again, I would squash my qualms about global warming and buy an air-conditioner as soon as those first strong hot flashes hit. And I would pull every string I could so that I could take as much time as possible off during my menopause metamorphosis.

As men and women all over the world share their warmth on these cold wintry nights, a celebration of love looms on the horizon, and with it, the promise of the coming spring, The rituals of Valentines Day so often consists of a box of chocolates and some roses, followed by dinner, and an expectation of some better than the usual sex. Ever wonder if it could get any better than this? It can.
Here’s a wake up call to men of all ages. It’s up to you to make it better. Take hold of the reins and do the unexpected. Surprise your baby and she’ll surprise you beyond your wildest expectations. Give her some sexy lingerie for, then sit back and enjoy the show! Lingerie - the gift that keeps on giving!
Women love to look pretty, men love to look at pretty women, so what’s the problem here? Granted, most men’s ultimate goal is to get their women naked, but throw into the equation a tightly laced bustier with a skirted garter and fishnet hose - heck, getting there is half the fun!
Lingerie comes in many styles and materials and is conveniently available online (for those of us who don’t particularly want to make a trip to Victoria’s Secret). Online lingerie retailers ship their products discreetly in plain boxes so as not to spill the beans to the neighbors, your wife, or the person you want to surprise. And there’s good news for those men who like their women big: plenty of stores out there that offer plus size lingerie, up to 3X!
With all this in mind, men need to become educated consumers in a world of lingerie that is primarily dominated by women. It is for this reason that I have taken it upon myself to write this informative Man’s Guide to Women’s Lingerie”.
Corsets and Bustiers: a history of lingerie
As recently as the 1830’s, the corset was thought of as a medical necessity. Being that women were the weaker sex, they needed the support of a laced corset to hold them up for any length of time. Girls from the ages of two or three began their lives being strapped in daily to a tight laced corset. Unfortunately for the women, by the time they reached their prime they were unable to stand or sit upright for very long without getting the “vapors”.
Early corsets were made from canvas, (plenty of that around from all the sailing ships) and had laces all the way up the back pulled so tight as to make it darn near impossible to draw a deep breath. Needless to say, the prevailing fashion (or fetish) of the day was a very small waist line.
Today’s modern corset is made from softer and suppler materials such as silk, satin and lace, (as well as leather) to name a few. It is designed to accentuate a woman’s curves, not to alter them. For many men there is nothing more arousing than the sight of a willing accomplice all dressed up in a tight, laced up leather corset, and it’s a turn on for the women too!
Out of the corset evolved the bustier, predecessor to the modern day brazier. It seems that men even back then liked to see their women’s breasts pushed up and squeezed together!
A bustier is basically an underwire bra that extends down to the waistline. Traditionally with a lace up front, today’s bustiers can fasten in a variety of ways. Zippers, snaps, hooks and eyes, (remember the trouble we had undoing bras in high school?) even Velcro seems to get the job done. Keep in mind the fastenings when considering a lingerie purchase. The removal of these garments can at times try a man’s patience. Remember the times when you’ve been asked to take it easy and slow down? Do it now and savor the moment!
Another popular lingerie design is what’s known as the Teddy. Similar to a corset in design, a teddy is a one piece suit that starts out as a bustier, extends down between the legs as a thong, and ends up fastening to the back of the bodice. Simple by definition, teddies can take the form of something resembling a harness, to a full fledged zippered, hooked, and laced corset with an attached thong. Many teddies come with garter belts attached, adding endless possibilities for some naughty, bad little girls’ psychopathic imagination to run wild with.
For the truly innocent, perpetual virgin nice girl look, consider the Baby Doll. A short mini hanging to the waist that can be worn with or without the matching bra and panties, the baby doll is usually made from some sheer, lightweight material with varying degrees of transparency. The baby doll lingerie style gets its name from; well…you figure it out!
Today, ladies lingerie is easier than ever to shop for. Do a search on lingerie and you’ll find a multitude of reputable lingerie dealers and merchants. Browse through their catalogs and you’re sure to find something that stirs your, um… interest.
Sizing is an issue that must be dealt with, and a good lingerie site will have size charts easily accessible. While lingerie is generally pretty forgiving size wise, (a lot of lingerie is marked one size fits all) you should know at a minimum if she’s a small, medium or large. If you see sizes like 32, 38, etc….why don’t you just ask her her size!
When shopping for lingerie, keep in mind that a gift of lingerie should stimulate both you and your partner. Get her something that you like, and don’t be afraid to push the envelope! Lingerie encompasses a huge variety of styles; from a couple of pasties and a thong to an elegant satin and lace gown with matching bra and panties!
Do not overlook the possibilities of Leather Lingerie. Leather has become mainstream and is not just for bikers and sado/masochists any more. Women love the feel of leather on their bare skin, and peeling off a tight leather teddy is a real treat!
Lingerie for your baby and you can’t lose! Give her a gift of lingerie, and you do yourself a favor! The gift that keeps on giving - all year round!

Out with the old, in with the new. Sounds great but in
actuality, this is a hard concept for most of us. Unfortunately,
New Year’s resolutions are starting to die out by now. It is
actually a great time to reorganize the home and clear out. A
good place to start is with your wardrobe and accessories.
We all have skeletons in our closet. I’m talking about those old
clothes that we are holding onto. One of the biggest reasons for
holding onto our clothes? “I am going to loose weight and get
into that outfit again.” Time to ditch it! I am sure it is
outdated by now and when and if you get into it, it will not
look that great anyway. If you loose those extra pounds, reward
yourself instead with something new, you deserve it.
Are you the sentimental type that holds on to clothes? The
outfit you wore to a special occasion, date or the one that cost
you a small fortune. I know it is hard to let go but it is time
to do it. How about that little black dress that we are all
suppose to have in our closet. It has been there for while,
hasn’t it? Have you avoided wearing it because it is so
outdated? It is time to move on and get a new one.
Here is some good advice, if you have not worn it in two years
or more, you need to get rid of it. Not wearable because it
needs to be repaired, put them in a pile to bring to a Taylor or
just get rid of it. Face it, if you have not fixed it yet, it
will not happen. Are you waiting for the style to come back
again? Style’s do come and go and come back again, but always in
a different way. The style changes in some way as well as the
“in” color. Bell bottoms were once in but never came back fully
in style again. They came back a little different as boot leg
cut and not as wide as the bell bottom. So do not save it for
another time, it will not work. Don’t forget the clothes that
were bought and just didn’t cut it. I am talking about the one’s
you never got around to returning. Even the clothes that looked
great in the dressing room but when you actually wore it, it
didn’t really look that great on you. These are great for the
consignment store. It took me a while to realize that brown just
is not my color. Each time when brown is the “new black” in
style I just didn’t feel right in a brown outfit. It dawned on
me that it is just not my color. I held on to those great brown
clothes for a while. Finally I let go and accepted those great
brown clothes were not great on me. They were taking up much
needed closet space.
Next, are the accessories filling the shelves and drawers?
Handbags are a big save item. Spending a fortune on a designer
handbag is a good reason to hold on to it. If it is worn out and
does not look good any more, then there is no reason to keep it.
Zipper broke, button off, bad looking scratch in the leather? If
it is not useable, then do not save it. I had an off white suede
leather Coach bag that I loved and spent a lot of money on. It
became dirty looking way too fast. Being suede, it did not clean
well. I kept it for three years before I broke down and threw it
out. Never bought that color again! Handbags are like shoes,
once they wear out, they do not look good anymore. Pull out of
your closet all the handbags and shoe’s. Try on the shoe’s, see
if they fit, are too worn out or are out of style and put them
in the get rid of pile. Do the same for belts.
Anything in good shape and the style is current; bring them to a
consignment store. The rest can go to the thrift store or if too
worn out or damaged, throw it out. Thrift stores are usually run
by volunteers, they don’t need to be throwing out your not so
good items in the trash. You will feel good with “out with the
old,” now it is time and space for “in with the new.” Have fun
shopping for those new great clothes!
Many of you come to this site because you are a Seeker. You are
looking for something — answers to a problem, a relationship, a
better career, more money, and/or the return of a lover. Some of
you are trying to strengthen your connection to your higher self
or to God. Others just need to talk, get an outlet for you
feelings or feel that someone else understands you. Many of you
feel lost or abandoned by God, or feel that your faith in the
future has been shaken because someone has been cruel to you.
You are all looking for solutions or answers to a question of
some kind. The important thing is to realize that the answer to
any question you may have is actually within you. Guidance comes
and answers are revealed when you learn how to connect to your
higher self, and one of the easiest ways for you to do this is
to keep a journal. Below I have developed a little journal
keeping program that will help you find guidance but also
strengthen your faith in yourself and in your ability to handle
the future. First of all buy yourself a notebook that you really
like and one with a hard enough cover that you can write sitting
in bed. This journal is going to always be at your bedside
because you are going to write in it every day for at least ten
minutes, once in the morning and once at night. This is the book
in which you are going to have your own personal conversations
with God. The first thing you need to do, when you wake up in
the morning, is open this journal, and then for ten minutes,
just write every thing that comes to mind. This is not a “to do”
list although many of you will find yourself writing all kinds
of things. I address my journal directly to God. I start each
chapter with “Dear God, Ascended Masters, the Angels and the
Good Fairies”. Then I start writing exactly what is on mind–
example “Dear God, today I really need help with my car because
it broke down and I don’t know how I am going to pay for the new
brakes, but please help me find the source of money for this and
also, my friend Sally has not called me for a couple of days,
could you please help me with this one and reveal to me what is
going on and this morning I really woke up hating Frank and I
hate the way I feel when I feel this jealous, can you please
help me with that”… and so on and so on. Do not worry about
spelling and so forth, just let it flow. When you are doing this
you are doing two things. You are first of all releasing all the
resentments and anxiety that you are holding so that may be
blocking you from efficiently continuing on with your day (so
you are really clearing your aura and energy field so you can
attract good things). You are also giving the problems up to a
higher source and asking that power to provide you with a
solution. When you are done doing this, then you list five
things in your life that you are truly grateful for and thank
God for them on paper. It does not matter if these things you
are grateful for are big or small “Thank you for great sandwich
I had at lunch today. Thank you for the insurance cheque. Thank
you for my beautiful pet. Thank you for the smile from the bank
teller yesterday.” Then you go about your day. You will be
amazed at how much smoother things go and how usually; solutions
to your little problems just seem to miraculously appear. By
following this program I have had this happen again and again. I
think it is because the writing discipline resembles the
discipline of prayer and the cosmos smiles on that. Later that
night, just before you go to bed, you do the same thing. First
of all you thank God, in your conversation with God for how he
has helped you that day, or question him/her if certain problems
still persist. I find it helps to write something like “God
please take this problem away, get rid of it. I can’t handle it.
Either that or help me find a way to make it better or accept
the situation”. Then you do the same thing you did in the
morning, pouring out your questions and concerns on the paper.
You may also list five people who have wronged you and ask for
the strength to forgive them. After that you think of another
five things you are grateful for and then list TEN people you
know and ask God to give them blessings or solutions to the
problems that they have - “for example — Jenny next door is
really having a hard time making ends meet and taking care of
those kids. Please bless her and help her meet her needs so she
can do better”. This is not as much work as it seems — and it
is amazing what ten minutes in the morning and ten minutes at
night, just writing in a journal, can do to help you balance
your emotions, achieve clarity and manifest little miracles in
your life. Later when you look back at your journal, you will be
astounded at the number of little requests you have made that
have actually been filled, and also at how some things that you
used to find upsetting, are not a source of pain and sorrow
anymore. You do not have to be a great writer to do this. God
does not care about grammar or fancy penmanship. Just write from
your heart.
Are you hoping to experience a vaginal birth after having had a
cesarean delivery? You may find your hopes are squelched by
modern practitioners.
Hospitals around the country are now banning vaginal birth after
cesarean delivery and insisting women undergo repeat cesarean
delivery. Hospitals say they cannot comply with the guidelines
issued in 1999 by the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists. The guidelines call for a doctor to be available
“immediately” throughout active labor when a woman is attempting
a vaginal birth after cesarean delivery, in order to perform an
emergency cesarean section if needed. Previous guidelines had
called for a physician to be “readily” available. In order for a
hospital to comply with the new recommended guidelines, a whole
operating crew, an anesthesiologist and obstetrician would have
to be in the hospital around the clock. Only major medical
centers, with in house physicians, will be able to continue to
offer vaginal birth after cesarean delivery. Smaller hospitals
may now have to abandon the practice.
Why the controversy? Women attempting vaginal birth after
cesarean delivery are at a greater risk for uterine rupture than
what was once believed. Uterine rupture can be life threatening
for both the mother and her baby. Some patients with uterine
rupture may require a hysterectomy and some infants may die. The
controversy that arises with the risks associated with vaginal
birth after cesarean delivery is that many women are willing to
take the risk, but their freedom of choice over who controls
childbirth is being steamrolled by physicians and hospitals.
Women are not being allowed to have a choice in their mode of
delivery. Doctors say their position is based on concern for the
patient’s safety.
Doctors now have a new worry that women trying to avoid repeat
cesarean delivery may give birth at home or in birthing centers
that are not equipped to perform emergency cesarean surgeries if
necessary. Also of concern is the possibility that laboring
patients may wait to the last moment to go to the hospital to
avoid repeat cesarean section.
The controversy surrounding vaginal birth after cesarean
delivery is not only a health care issue, it is becoming a
women’s civil rights issue. A woman should have the right to
choose her mode of delivery. Currently the right of a woman to
be involved in her birth plan is being crushed under the weight
of new laws and strict healthcare limitations that should be a
cause for concern for all women across the nation.
If you are considering a vaginal birth after cesarean, be
certain to discuss your options completely with your healthcare
provider.
