Hey Ladies!
Experiencing any symptoms? That’s a laugh, isn’t it? Of course, we are! From brain fog, ADHD, depression, and thinning hair to trouble sleeping, digestive problems, pain, and headaches. We ladies are running the gamut! Really, when was the last time we felt “normal”. Not feeling normal is the new normal. But really, we have a lot more help for these things then previous generations; and we certainly have more power in our voice now. Our mothers seemed to have suffered in silence. Very sad that Menopause has been so over-looked for so long. It’s real. It’s symptoms are real. And it shouldn’t be dismissed as something that we will eventually age out of. How do you deal with it? (Please comment here, or on our Facebook Group.) It’s good to know that we are now a powerful generation, demanding treatments that fit our needs. We are fed up with the quick fixes of a depression medication and red wine – though I, myself, admit to taking both. Side note: The medication is to level out my mood. Several years back, at the beginning of my peri-menopause/menopause journey, I started feeling a very unexplainable anger and disgust towards people I was friends with… people I loved and had relationships with. I talked with my doctor, scared because this sure wasn’t normal for me! I was diagnosed with PMDD and given a prescription for an anti-depressant. It took me probably about 12 months before really dialing in on the medication and dosage that worked for me. I felt empowered that I was speaking up and making these decisions for myself, instead of keeping this secret and continuing to feel crazy inside. It's been a few years now, and while my mood and emotions have leveled out to a point that I can control now (and other people can tolerate), I do still live with other symptoms. One that particularly bothered me was not being able to concentrate, to stay on task, while at work. Even at home, I bounced from chore to chore, not really finishing anything. I’d be distracted by something in my line of vision, or an incoming call that wasn’t even at my desk. I was desperate to find something that could block all of this out so I could stay head down and plow through my work. I enjoy a plethora of true crime podcasts and all sorts of music, but I found that even playing these into my earbuds at work still distracted me from work. I couldn’t concentrate on my computer screen AND the story being told in my ears! Then I found it: Musical Meditation My experience with this grew as I read articles and watched videos about it. My initial experience was at my massage therapist’s office… The ambient music that was played during my hour of massage was so conducive to the whole relaxing experience! So I looked for meditative music, ambient music, etc. Then I read an article about specific frequencies and how they can be used therapeutically. Girls, you would not believe how much data and research is out there about therapeutic frequencies and the benefits of listening for women of OUR AGE! I’ll be sure to have a few links on this on my YouTube Channel. Here’s just a snippet: What are the Solfeggio frequencies? The solfeggio frequencies are part of the olden six-tone scale believed to have incorporated sacred music, inclusive of the famous and beautiful Gregorian Chants. There are six main solfeggio frequencies. They are:
And perhaps this isn’t the thing for everyone, but it sure couldn’t hurt to try it out! I find it most helpful to play it in my headphones while sitting at my desk. It soothes my mind by taking up the subconscious, so my brain doesn’t have that space to wander from the task at hand. I don’t have the patience to meditate for long periods of time, so when I need to brush off some stress or anxiety, I just listen more intently to a piece of music for a shorter length of time, maybe 2 minutes, while doing nothing else except focus on my breathing and re-center myself and my thoughts. I would love for you to check this out. It’s such a simple thing to try – and completely free! Let me know in the comments here, or on our Facebook group what you think about this, and maybe what your favorite frequency is. I’m also going to link a range of items that you may want to check out that may help with your experiencing new frequencies; you’ll be able to find these on My Faves! Love, Ruby
