Hello everyone!
This latest guided meditation was created to support women navigating complex relationships with food, body image, and the subtle echoes of being unseen. It’s called The Forgotten Female because so many of us carry stories of invisibility – written early through family dynamics, cultural expectations, or relational patterns where softness was overlooked or survival depended on staying quiet.
This meditation theme was suggested by a viewer via YouTube comment, as an example of “building what you love”. Interestingly, the commenter wanted to remain anonymous and posted the request on a “way back when” video from ages ago. I’m lucky I saw the comment, but as it happens I did! She was asking that this meditation serve as a direct positive response to the onslaught of recent news about that [shall not be named] rap music guy who did awful things to women for years and will probably barely get punished for it.
It’s been a week since I saw the suggestion but began working on the meditation immediately. As it happens, today a Guilty Verdict was achieved. But barely, just as predicted. There were 8 men and 4 women on the jury, and some of the jurors were not fully cooperating with the process (which I thought was immediately grounds for mistrial, but hey, what do I know?). It seems fitting therefore that this meditation is posted in the aftermath of a guilty verdict, even if it is a slight tap on the wrist. Sentencing hasn’t been passed down yet, but it looks like it will be well below the expected number of years.
So anyhoo, enough about that. Let’s return to our meditation…
The meditation begins with a slow induction, guiding listeners into full-body stillness. The focus here isn’t on transcendence – it’s on deep physical presence. With each breath, listeners are encouraged to soften held muscles, release old postures, and settle into their bodies without needing to hold tension or hide discomfort.
From there, the practice gently enters the realm of inner child re-parenting. With compassionate direction, listeners meet younger versions of themselves – the ones who turned to food as comfort, as company, as a response to absence. This isn’t about shame or reprogramming. It’s about acknowledgment, and making space for truths long denied. Through visualization and subtle hypnotic suggestion, the meditation supports healing emotional hunger alongside physical nourishment.
Midway through, the meditation offers a series of affirmations to help reshape the listener’s connection to food. These phrases aren’t prescriptive. They’re supportive. Each one affirms the body as sacred and deserving, making food not just sustenance but an offering of kindness.
Toward the close, there’s an empowerment phase – inviting the listener to step out from the shadows, to feel themselves seen not through performance or perfection, but through presence. The journey ends with gentle reawakening, leaving space for integration and return.
This meditation is designed for anyone who has ever felt too much or not enough. For those who have been silenced, sidelined, or swallowed in roles that erased their fullness. And for those ready to reclaim their softness as strength. You can listen to it now and return to it anytime you need a reminder that your body is a sanctuary – not a battleground.
