When we find ourselves in moments of high tension,

Fear,

Or anxiety,

It can be difficult to access safety.

The practice of visiting a safe space can reduce these feelings and help to ground the body and the mind.

Let's take a journey to cultivate a space that feels safe for you.

Relax into a comfortable position as you allow your body to release its tension.

Close your eyes.

Take a deep breath in through your nose.

Hold at the top.

Release.

Allow your breath to deepen.

Take another breath in.

Release.

Scan your body for areas of tension.

As you notice these places of tightness,

Such as your shoulders or your face,

Encourage them to release.

Continue to breathe deeply.

Continue to allow your body to deepen its relaxation.

As you find your calm,

Begin to imagine yourself in a special place.

This is a place where you feel safe.

A place where you feel comfortable.

It can be a real or imagined place.

It can be a room in a home.

It can be a place you have traveled to.

It can be a garden,

A beach,

Or a forest.

It is a place that is all yours.

Imagine yourself in this place.

What does it look like?

What is the temperature like?

What does it feel like?

What are you doing in this place?

Allow peace to settle in.

You are safe.

This is your safe space.

Continue to breathe in and out.

Set this place as a source of grounding,

As a tool of safety.

Take another deep breath in.

Hold at the top.

Release.

And as you feel comfortable,

Return to the room.

And as you breathe in,

Return to the room.

And as you breathe out,

Return to the room.

And as you breathe out,

Return to the room.

And as you breathe out,

Return to the room.

And as you breathe out,

Return to the room.

And as you breathe out,

Return to the room.

And as you breathe out,

Return to the room.

And as you breathe out,

Return to the room.
