Inner Family Safe Space

This is a guided meditation for creating a safe inner space for all your parts (your inner family). A place you can check in with your triggered inner family members (inner child, inner teen, critical inner parent, and the other parts you've yet to meet. We greet them with love, compassion, tenderness, and curiosity. This concept, Inner Family, focuses on Internal Family Systems/Parts Work.

It can be helpful to create a safe space to come to when your inner family needs you. You can check in on them here throughout your day. Imagine a place in nature or indoors that you love. Or somewhere you've never been, But you can see it in your mind's eye. This is your safe space. Allow yourself to settle in. Take a look around. What do you see? Different shapes outlined. Notice how much light there is. Do you see any colors? Take in the qualities of this place. Notice the air on your skin. Do you feel warm sensations or cold sensations? Is the air dry or moist? Do you notice any sensations or textures? Are you swinging on a hammock or cuddled up in a warm blanket? Do you hear any sounds in your safe space? Are there any aromas present? Picture your inner child or inner teen finding cozy spots where they feel safe and relaxed. See how they look in their safe space. What are they doing? How do they feel? Do they need a stuffed animal, A cozy pillow? Or T. Where in your body do you feel the effect of this space? You can recall these bodily sensations when you are connected to your safe space in your everyday life. Notice how your body feels now. Take it all in. As we say a temporary farewell to this place. Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes. Bring your awareness to the here and now. Knowing that you can always come back here. Take a deep breath. Lift your gaze, And reconnect with the world. Thank you for creating a safe space for your inner family with me. Until next time.
