Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Sat Nam Siri Gopal, I have also wondered at the 'appropriateness' of breath of fire during peri-menopause and menopause, but have practiced the breath without asking for an answer from outside myself. I do not view the increased body heat experienced as hot flashes as something to be avoided. It feels as if it is part of my body's natural process. When I remember to, which is not always, I try to sit with the sensation and feel the rise of heat as a cleansing energy. This may not answer your question, but it is my experience.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Sat Nam Siri Gopal, I do not modify breath of fire for peri/menopausal women, either for myself or my students. I prefer to look at " hot flashes " as " power surges " to quote Susun Weed. This is your brain rewiring iitself. Not only that, but I feel that this is Kundalini rising within women. We need to embrace this, thank the power surges and breath through them.
