Hi everyone,
My name is Catherine and let's meditate.
Today's meditation is about safety.
Now I can create the conditions for safety and growth.
I can make choices to keep me safe and growing.
Find a comfortable sitting position and you can move around in your seat in your meditation seat.
Make yourself comfortable and when you're ready close your eyes or drop your gaze.
Bring your awareness to your breath,
To your inhale and to your exhale.
Noticing the breath they're taking in right now and the breath leaving your system right now.
On your next inhale tighten all the muscles in your body and then on your next exhale you release.
Two more times inhale tighten all the muscles in your body.
On your exhale release.
One more time inhale tighten all the muscles in your body and on your exhale release and find that nice relaxed state of being.
Begin to imagine a safe space.
You a safe space.
A space where you're safe.
And this space can be imaginary or can be real.
It's your space.
And this safe space,
Your safe space can be located anywhere in the world.
So see and be in your safe space.
What do you see?
What can you see in your safe space?
What do you hear in your safe space?
You're listening for all the sounds in your safe space.
What do you feel?
Identifying all the feelings that you feel in your safe space right now.
What's the smell?
How does your safe space smell like?
What's the color of your safe space if there's any color?
What's the shape of your safe space?
If your safe space has a shape what is it?
What's the color of your safe space?
Engage in your safe space and know that the safe space is always there for you.
Being in our safe space allows us to get out of your comfort zone and grow.
In our safe space there's no fear.
In our safe space we are inspired to step into the growth zone.
To safely create conditions for our own safety and our own growth.
In our safe area we are empowered to make choices that keeps us safe and choices that makes us to grow.
Slowly bring your awareness to the present moment.
Come back to noticing your surroundings,
The sounds around you.
Bringing your awareness back to your physical body and back to your breath.
Notice your inhale and notice your exhale.
Inhale reach both hands up.
Exhale hands to your heart center.
One breath together take a deep breath in and take a long breath out.
Bring your thumbs to your forehead and remember that this safe space is always there for you.
Namaste.
Thank you so much for meditating with me.
