Your guided safe place visualisation.
Begin by finding a comfortable and quiet place where you won't be disturbed and take a moment to get yourself settled and allow your eyes to close.
Become aware of your breath and notice any sensations that come along with naturally breathing.
Now become aware of any tension that you might be holding in your body and now let that tension go with each out breath.
Imagine now a place where you can feel calm and peaceful and safe.
This might be a place that you've been to before or somewhere you've dreamed about going to or just a peaceful place that you can create in your mind's eye.
This safe place is exclusively for you and no other person can enter here.
You might wish to create an entrance,
Maybe a door or a gate or a force field that will allow only you to enter this unique safe place.
And now let yourself step through the entrance and look around you.
Take in the colours and the shapes of this environment.
What can you see here?
Notice how the colours of this place communicate safety and peacefulness to you.
And now notice the sounds that are around you here.
Sounds that are far away and sounds that are nearer to you.
Notice the more subtle sounds of the environment or perhaps their silence.
And think now about any smells that you notice in the environment.
Become aware of how what you can smell here,
It supports you to relax and rest.
And now notice any skin sensations.
It could be the earth beneath you or whatever is supporting you in that place.
Maybe the temperature or the movement of the air.
And notice anything else that you can touch and how that feels to you.
And now become aware of the pleasant physical sensations in your body that you experience while you're enjoying this safe place.
What's it like for you to be here?
And now while you're in your peaceful,
Safe place,
You might want to give it a name.
Maybe one or two words or a phrase that you can use to bring this image back anytime you need to.
Now you might choose to linger here for a while,
Just enjoying the peacefulness and serenity that you experience in your safe place.
And when you're ready to leave,
Call to mind that door or gate or portal.
And allow yourself to just simply step through.
And as you open your eyes,
Slowly and aware of where you are now.
Allow yourself a few deep,
Refreshing breaths to bring yourself back to being alert and present in the here and now.
Knowing that you can return to your safe place anytime you like.
