The Forgotten Voice
The Forgotten Voice
Anointing the throat chakra in midlife and beyond
There’s a silence many women carry into menopause —
Not just the silence of night sweats and changing hormones,
but the deeper silence…
of years spent swallowing truth,
softening tone,
shrinking presence
just to keep the peace.
For years, I dressed how I was expected.
Spoke when it felt safe.
Held emotions in my throat until they became illness.
My diagnosis of Hashimoto’s wasn’t random —
It was a message.
This essential oil blend, The Forgotten Voice,
was born from that silence.
Crafted with clary sage, frankincense, lavender, geranium and chamomile,
this blend is both a balm and a boundary.
A ritual for women who are done performing.
Done apologising.
Done dressing for approval.
It’s for the woman rediscovering her voice —
and ready to anoint it, not hide it.
This is more than aromatherapy.
It’s reclamation.
Apply gently to the throat, wrists, or over your heart before speaking, writing, resting or praying.
Let the scent remind your nervous system that it is safe to be heard again.
Ritual: The Forgotten Voice
A throat chakra healing ritual for midlife women reclaiming their truth.
🌙 Best time:
Evening, during a quiet moment
New moon or waning moon (symbolic of release)
When you feel unheard, unseen, or emotionally “clogged”
🌿 What You’ll Need:
A small bowl of warm water
A white or turquoise cloth or scarf
A mirror
Your “Forgotten Voice” oil blend (recipe below)
A candle (blue or white)
Optional: a turquoise crystal or piece of jewellery
Step-by-step Ritual
1. Set the space
Light your candle.
Place your scarf around your shoulders or neck.
Take 3 slow breaths, with your hand resting gently on your throat.
Say aloud or silently:
“I honour the voice that was silenced.
I now invite it to return — softly, safely, completely.”
2. Anoint your throat
Using your blend, apply gently to:
The centre of your throat
Behind your ears
Your wrists (pulse points for emotional flow)
Say:
“I no longer perform.
I express from presence.
I am safe to be heard.”
3. Mirror whisper
Look into the mirror and speak softly:
Your name
A truth you once held back
A word or phrase you long to reclaim (e.g. freedom, sovereign, enough, wild, healer)
Let tears come if they need to. Let silence follow if it feels good.
You are being witnessed — by you.
4. Release with water
Dip your fingers in the warm water and gently touch your throat.
Imagine cleansing away old words, shame, or expectation.
Say:
“I cleanse what is not mine. I reclaim what is.”
5. Close gently
Wrap your scarf or cloth loosely around your shoulders.
Rest. Journal. Sleep.
Your voice has been heard.
