Menopause is a powerful “Second Spring.” Mantak Chia and Kelley Lila present it not as a decline but as a profound neuroendocrine shift toward deeper vitality, sensuality, and spiritual radiance.
Blending ancient Eastern practices with modern health science, the authors offer practical tools for navigating the hormonal, emotional, and physical changes of menopause, including fatigue, mood swings, hot flashes, and stress. They explain the Taoist system of Inner Alchemy and how energy is lost, conserved, and circulated—empowering you to work with your energy. They teach you how to “ride the dragon” of shifting hormones with energy conservation techniques, cooling breath practices, Qigong routines, somatic healing, and Master Chia’s Microcosmic Orbit practice. The authors examine the role of inflammation in mood swings, the rewiring of neural pathways during menopause, and how to step into the archetype of the Queen—sovereign, wise, and fully embodied. Exploring how to use powerful herbs like Dong Quai, Black Cohosh, Ashwagandha, Maca, and Goji berries, the authors present a comprehensive apothecary for perimenopause and menopause.
By integrating teachings on emotional alchemy, neurological changes, and sacred self-care, the authors empower women to embrace menopause as a spiritual rite of passage and a second chance to live with intention, joy, and authenticity.
