The Mindful Menopause Workbook will help you bring mindfulness into your day-to-day activities during menopause with teachings, exercises, and meditations. Learn how to recognize and achieve a more balanced, peaceful, and joyful orientation to menopause and beyond.
The Mindful Menopause Workbook provides a year’s worth of daily teachings and prompts that offer you moments for self-care and self-development—mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Each daily teaching includes space for you to write about the thoughts, emotions, or sensations that are arising for you.
This is followed by guided meditations and breath exercises that promote body-mind unity through deep relaxation and expanded peaceful awareness.
The book also includes an in-depth illustrated guide to yoga postures and outlines sequential poses that foster greater ease and awareness of your body.
Mindful Menopause sensitively addresses issues that commonly arise during menopause, and gives recommendations for managing symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, low energy and libido, anxiety, depression, hot flashes, physical discomfort, poor digestion, and weight gain.
Together, these teachings, exercises, and reflections will help you approach menopause mindfully and joyfully, allowing you to deepen your practice and transition gracefully into this new stage of your life.
Reviews
“A rich workbook full of kindness, empathy, and overflowing, refined creativity that addresses a topic not openly discussed. The author takes us by the hand and inspires us to become conscious architects of our daily lives.”
“I recommend this insightful workbook strongly, as it is a lovely, creative gift from Dr. Dupraz-Brossard related to the stages of a woman’s life and the process of growth and aging. It is a beautiful book and it is clear how much love and effort went into it from a wise and skilled psychotherapist. It makes good use of third-wave cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches, presenting schema therapy healing concepts that can enrich mindfulness practice.”
“The Mindful Menopause Workbook is an invitation to take the time each day to be present and to open up to what is there with curiosity during the transitional stage of menopause. In this way, menopause can become an opportunity to get to know oneself better. Francesca Dupraz-Brossard accompanies the reader on this journey with great gentleness and kindness, helping her to discover the necessary resources to live this particular stage of life at its best.”
