Lucy BecksIf you’re a woman in midlife, I am almost certain that your journey so far has likely been full and rich in adventure – experiencing; joy; love; hope; heartbreak; sadness; grief; shame; guilt; and perhaps some deep-seated trauma too. You’re not alone.
Women in midlife often find themselves at a crossroads, where the past resurfaces – not as an obstacle, but as a sign and an opportunity to truly heal. This is a place for you to focus on rewriting your STORY, and to determine how you want to live this exciting new chapter of your life. Self-reflection can offer introspection and spiritual growth, especially as your intuition is often heightened at this time, you’ll become more self-aware of your needs so that you can easily tap into your inner guidance. If you can look back into your past with no self-judgement, practicing self-compassion will remind you of who you are, and who you came here to be. Viewing your past mistakes and regrets as life lessons, while truly forgiving yourself (and others), will transform any guilt into gratitude, and help you embrace the wonderful woman you are at the very essence of your soul!
Midlife can be a deeply empowering stage in a woman’s life. Moving through ‘the change’ offers a powerful opportunity for transformation, healing, and letting go of the past. To help clear and heal any emotional blocks, you may like to explore spiritual and holistic practices, such as: Reiki Energy Healing, Crystal Therapy, Reflexology – to name a few. Using meditations and rituals that centre on self-forgiveness (e.g. Ho’oponopono prayer); practicing self-compassion; as-well-as working with your ‘shadow self’ and journalling, are all valuable tools for releasing past hurts, and creating a more peaceful present and future. I understand that this might seem ‘easier said than done’, and it may be hard to face some of your ‘truths’, but when you do, magical things can happen! Exploring what lights you up, finding your creative expression, is the beginning of rediscovering your joy, and re-aligning your passions – bringing more fulfilment into your everyday life.
Taking ownership and responsibility of your STORY (flipping the script if you need to), and claiming the wise woman you are, will help you to redefine HER, and embrace your AWAKENING! It’s YOUR time to rewrite the next chapter YOUR way! Midlife is also a time to step into your true power, and embrace ‘the change’, a time to claim your wisdom, find the magic, and trust the midlife journey!
Making peace with your past is not just a one-time event, but rather a continual process of unravelling, healing and growing spiritually, practicing self-compassion and discovering new paths for future heart-opening adventures. And so Wise Woman, your new exciting chapter begins…
