What is written by Marianne Williamson, a renowned speaker and author of the bestseller "A Return to Love," "Healing of America", "value of a woman", "Illuminata" and other works. Some may know it by its connection to a Course in Miracles.

The purpose of this book is "psychologically and spiritually reframe the transition [midlife] so that it leads to a wonderful sense of joy and enlightenment." And so powerfully by Marianne, "Midlife is not a crisis is a time of rebirth."My sentiments exactly!

Spirituality - a personal approach to religion, and understanding that life has meaning beyond the daily details.Brokaw reassuring voice in and through the stories of incredible women from all walks of life, readers can learn how they too can embrace and fully enjoy their forties, fifties and beyond.

Information Overcoming Sexual Dysfunction – For Women

There are many reasons for sexual dysfunction in women. They may feel inhibited, they may be unable to reach orgasm or maybe they have trouble having one at all.

Inhibition is usually more of a problem for younger women and older women. For younger women their ignorance and inexperience can make them feel intimidated. With older women, they often are holding onto ideas from when they were growing up about how women should feel about sex.

Women need to know that learning about what makes them feel good is not a bad thing to do. A woman needs to be able to explore her own body and become comfortable with it. Sex will be more satisfying for the woman who can “take care of” her own needs. Getting over ideas like sex is for a man’s pleasure only may be hard for the older woman who was raised with old-fashioned ideas.

Being able to reach orgasm takes self-awareness and the ability to relax and let go. This can be a trust issue for some women, which is normal. Sex is an intimate act that a woman sees more emotionally than a man does. For many men, it is more of an act where for a woman it is more emotionally based.

Another reason for sexual dysfunction is when sex is painful due to a condition called vaginismus. This is when the muscles surrounding the opening of the vagina involuntarily tighten. Sex is painful and therefore a woman avoids it or does not enjoy it. This condition has a psychological basis and can be fixed with stretching exercises.

Therapy can help a woman overcome sexual dysfunction and go on to live a happier life. Relationships can be ruined when a woman is too embarrassed to get treatment. There is no reason to suffer or give up a normal part of a healthy relationship when it can be fixed.

Sexual dysfunctions can be caused by a psychological problem, a medical problem, or a combination of both. Side effects of some medications are also known to cause a decrease in libido. Ironically, Lexapro, a medication used to treat depression and anxiety is known to have this effect on some patients. Emotional and physical upheaval during mid-life
