WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT AND HORMONAL BALANCE
You are never given anything in life that you cannot handle. Everyone comes into this lifetime with a psychic wound that needs to be healed in order to transcend the struggle, evolve and grow. When you embrace the wound, it becomes a gift and the very thing that will make you whole. If you see the wound as a stigma, and you are ashamed of it, you cannot truly belong to yourself or anyone else. Shame breeds the fear of not belonging. It disconnects you from your self and makes you feel undeserving and afraid of being seen or heard.
Shame is the emotional root cause of many diseases that affect women, and shame causes deep seated feelings of unworthiness.
Unworthiness produces a lack of self acceptance and self esteem, and it can be summed up by an overall feeling of “I’m not good enough.” which leaves you in an state of constant insecurity. Fear disconnects you from your courage, your core beliefs and numbs your instincts. The psychological effects of the internal struggle with unworthiness triggers disturbances within your women’s hormonal and thyroid function, which can leave you, stressed out, overwhelmed and constantly feeling vulnerable.
Shame also creates guilt and guilt locks you into toxic beliefs that keep you hostage to inequality. You know the cliches, “It’s a Man’s World.” which means men control it… and… everything in it.
“Women are the weaker sex.” “Men take care of women.” and “women are dependent upon men.” In the work place, men are valued more than women and paid more for the same types of jobs that women can easily perform. The message is, women are lesser than men and don’t deserve the same pay. Therefore, women are not equal… and anyway, men are more intelligent than women even though women have higher IQ’s.
Patriarchal domination has oppressed women for ages. Shaming is an abusive and traumatic form of control. It has been used to belittle, degrade, humiliate, harass, intimidate, and put women down. Women are seldom respected for their point of view, and they have little voice to be heard, or validated.
But take heart! This is the Age of awakening and Women are about to take back the mantle of power. In a very short time, it will no longer be a Man’s world as Women rise into positions of power and achieve greater balance.
This is meditation, not medication and there is a great difference between healing from within and treating symptoms. Meditation goes to the root cause of dis-ease to restore balance. Medication treats the effects not the cause of disease. Meditation is one of the most powerful and restorative practices for opening your heart, overcoming stress, promoting peace of mind and emotional well being. Meditation connects you to the deepest parts of your soul where all true healing takes place, and it is the connection with your soul that gives validation, purpose and a sense of belonging to life.
Meditation brings you directly into the heart of your subconscious mind which is the master control center for all functions, all glands, all organs and all systems. The subconscious holds the blueprint for radiant health, and holds the internal code to reestablish harmony, balance and self reliance.
The human body is a highly sophisticated creation that is engineered for self healing. Everything in the body is set up to self-correct and sustain vibrant health and well-being.
HORMONAL BALANCE MEDITATION
AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU
As a woman, you are always going through hormonal changes. It all begins when you’re an adolescent stage, with the start of your menstrual cycle and for many of you, progresses into pregnancy, motherhood and postpartum, and eventually into menopause.
These passages, while natural, can also be challenging times when you experience severe symptoms of stress, high anxiety, depression and intense hormonal changes that dramatically impact and trigger deep psychological changes in your self-image, self-esteem and self-acceptance.
Stress is a major contributor to hormonal imbalance, and the root cause of stress is FEAR. Think about it.
When you are frightened or anxious, fear triggers your natural defense mechanism, called the fight – flight response. Your hypothalamus gland, responsible for maintaining the body’s internal balance, signals the pituitary gland to stimulate your adrenal glands to release two key stress hormones: cortisol and adrenaline. This triggers a chain reaction throughout your endocrine system that influences all your glands and in particular your thyroid gland. The greater the fear, the greater the stress. The greater the stress, the more the cortisol and adrenaline are released. Excess stress hormones send you on the roller coaster ride that leaves you feeling totally out of control, overwhelmed, exhausted and always on high alert for some looming threat to your health or well-being.
Such is the biological nature and psychological process for women. Can you imagine how much more joyful your life would be without a constant hormonal hangover? You can make it happen, with meditation.
Meditation is a proven process for accessing the immense healing energy of your subconscious mind. Your subconscious regulates and controls all bodily functions.

The benefits are truly amazing! Just by being in a meditative state, your mind becomes still calm and clear. Fear and anxiety subside. Your heart rate relaxes as your blood pressure regulates itself into a normal range. Brain wave activity slows down and triggers human growth hormones, which regulate your metabolism, stimulate fat cells to reduce the amount of stored fats, promote protein synthesis in your cells, and regulate your blood sugar.
Your adrenal glands rest and stop overproducing the stress hormones, helping your thyroid and metabolism.Your endocrine system moves out of a state of high alert. Thyroid, adrenals, and sex hormones now have an opportunity to come back into balance.

I am always asked what motivated me to create the Hormonal Balance Guided Meditation. I’ll explain why.
From my work with Hypnotherapy, I witnessed first hand the power of the subconscious mind to regulate all systems in the body and promote healing on the physical, mental, psychological, and spiritual levels.
The Hormonal Balance Meditation was designed to support and comfort women as they move through the many stages of hormonal upset, from puberty, to pregnancy, into motherhood, postpartum and menopause.
I realized it was needed when I learned from my friends and colleagues, Dana Trentini and Mary Shomon, about their new book, now published, Your Healthy Pregnancy with Thyroid Disease. Both women are distinguished thyroid patient advocates and experts, and together, they have created an extraordinarily guide filled with tender love and care, deep experiential understanding, and practical tools that inform and empower women for the best hormonal health.
In their book, Dana and Mary make the point that medication, diet and other lifestyle changes need to be accompanied by a shift in mindset — getting to a place where you trust that your body can become pregnant, sustain a pregnancy, and deliver a healthy baby. They both felt that more tools are needed to help women achieve that shift.
