Feminine Qigong, Perimenopause, & the Magic in Your Body

KC Baker and Elayne Kalila first found each other in 2016 on a pilgrimage to the sacred lands of Avalon, gathered in a circle of sisters through the Magdalene line. Elayne has returned to lead that pilgrimage every year since, and KC has never been far from her heart. So when Elayne recently joined KC’s Sleep Sluttiness offering — because, as many of you know, sleep has been one of her greatest challenges through perimenopause — and she felt what feminine Qigong did in her body, she knew immediately: her community needs to know about this.

KC Baker is the founder of Women Speak and Velvet Flow, a mother, an entrepreneur, a woman who has walked through her own fire — burnout, sleeplessness, the overwhelm of holding everything — and found her way back to vitality through one of the oldest healing practices on earth. Qigong is over 5,000 years old, and was born in the bodies of wild women communing with nature, moonlight, and the deep intelligence of their own bodies. In this episode, it will awaken something in yours.

In this episode:

• What feminine Qigong actually is: its ancient origins, its wild women founders, and why it is one of the oldest known forms of healing magic on earth
• How KC moved from perimenopause exhaustion, hot flashes, brain fog, and sleeplessness to profound, embodied vitality
• The secret relationship between your kidneys, your adrenal glands, and the hormonal shift that changes everything at midlife
• Kidney breathing and kidney packing — a 5-minute practice that is better than a cup of coffee
• Ovarian Kung Fu: the ancient Taoist practice of nourishing your brain with your own life force energy
• Vaginal dryness, loss of turn-on, and the real root cause most women are never told about
• The Velvet Flow: KC’s signature fusion of feminine sensual movement and Qigong, and why it works in just 20 minutes
• Living as Highly Sensitive People in a world on fire, and why nervous system sovereignty is a revolutionary act
• The world in its own perimenopause, and what it is asking of us

This episode offers a completely new understanding of what perimenopause is doing in your body, and why the exhaustion you feel is not a failure but a signal.
