This is a meditation called The Sacred Feminine Forest.
Begin by finding a quiet and comfortable place to either sit or lie down.
Allow your body to settle into the surface beneath you.
Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in and slowly exhale.
Take another deep breath and imagine breathing in calm,
Nurturing energy.
As you exhale,
Release any tension or resistance and arrive fully in this moment,
In this space.
Imagine standing at the edge of a calm forest and looking into it.
You see the trees rise high,
Their branches forming a light roof that lets the sun shine through it as a soft golden glow.
The light moves gently on the ground,
Creating warm green spots.
The air feels fresh and welcoming,
Filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers mixed with the smell of damp earth and soft moss.
You hear leaves softly moving in the mild breeze,
Blending with the distant singing of birds and the quiet sound of a stream hidden nearby.
The forest feels alive,
Each part inviting you with its quiet beauty,
A peaceful place ready to surround you.
As you take a step forward into the forest,
You start sensing the calm,
Soothing energy that reigns here.
It feels like a sacred,
Timeless space.
It is wrapping you in warmth and comfort.
The air feels like it is filled with compassion and you allow yourself to drink it in as you move forward.
You notice an opening in the trees ahead,
Where sunlight dances on the water.
You are walking toward a clear,
Still lake in the heart of the forest.
Arriving upon it,
This forest lake radiates an energy that feels deeply rooted and very feminine,
Soft yet strong,
Nurturing yet powerful,
Fluid yet grounded.
This reflects your true inner essence.
Now pause here and gaze into the pool.
See the reflection of yourself,
Not as you are today,
But as your fullest,
Most balanced self.
Notice how this version of you holds both the gentle grace and the quiet strength of the feminine energy.
Breathe into this vision,
Feeling it resonate within you.
This energy is not confined by gender,
Role or definition.
It simply is.
It is the energy of creativity,
Intuition and the ability to receive and let things grow and flow.
Feel this feminine energy rise within you as you stand here by the lake,
Like a soft wave for every in-breath.
Let it enter through your feet,
Grounding you even more to the earth,
Connecting you to its cycles and rhythms.
The wave moves up your legs,
Into your hips,
Into the lower part of your body,
Upwards into the upper part and into your heart,
Opening it wide to love,
Acceptance and self-compassion.
Let it continue to flow upwards and through your arms,
Your throat and into your mind,
Clearing away doubts,
Judgments or labels that no longer serve you.
This energy reminds you that you are whole just as you are,
A balance of all qualities.
Now imagine this energy streaming from you and surrounding you,
Like a soft shimmering light.
It is fluid and expansive and reminds you of the beauty of embracing your emotions,
Your creativity and your intuition,
Allowing you to feel deeply connected to yourself.
As you stand here,
Now see this light expand outward,
Connecting with the forest,
Touching every tree,
Flower and plant in every corner of the woods.
Feel how it embraces the entire natural world around you,
From the tallest tree to the smallest fern or moss.
Everything is nourished and illuminated,
Creating harmony and interconnectedness.
See and feel how this feminine energy touches everything,
Nurturing and sustaining it,
Just as it nurtures and sustains you.
Take a deep breath in and as you exhale,
Feel gratitude for this connection,
For this energy within you.
Know that it is always here,
Waiting to be felt,
Expressed and when you are ready,
Imagine yourself stepping away from the pool,
Carrying this light and feeling within you as you walk back through the forest.
Each step feels lighter,
Freer,
As though you are moving with the rhythm of life itself.
See yourself walking out of the forest.
You are beautifully connected to the feminine within,
Always.
Now feel the surface beneath you again.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
Bringing awareness back to the present moment.
Gently open your eyes,
Carrying this sacred energy with you.
