Transcript

I too am afraid.

Sometimes it's a dull ache,

Like an oncoming migraine sitting behind my right eye.

Other times the fear is all consuming,

Like bread in an oven,

Swelling and overflowing its tin.

I too sometimes feel I have nowhere to go,

Desperate for a home of understanding,

Searching for a person who when I share something with I don't have to ask,

Do you know what I mean?

I can get so lost,

Directionless in a world with GPS,

Sundered from self,

Detached from knowing,

Feeling so far from my home within,

I forget how good it feels to visit there.

Sometimes I'm in shock because the pain strikes me from behind,

Like when you realise you've forgotten something and it's too late to go back for it.

Sometimes my trauma lies in the past but the fear of it trembles in my body today.

I try to stay very still,

Almost invisible,

Hoping my trauma will leave because it can no longer find me.

But this renders me motionless,

Unable to move.

Others cannot understand my pain.

No one seems to care enough to try.

I'm stuck in my own panic and victimhood,

Surrounded by a smog of shame,

Confusion and grief.

I can feel like an obscure shape nobody has a name for,

Like a word nobody can remember.

I am stuck on the tip of tongues,

Trapped within the amnesic blankness that coats forgetful minds.

I too can feel misunderstood,

Frightened and overwhelmed,

But here,

In this place,

You are safe.

In this place where it is just you and me,

This place where your thoughts are set free,

This place where nobody is hurting you,

This place that is so safe,

There is nothing that needs your control.

Where we are now,

You are safe.

Where all you can hear is love from me to you.

Where each word has been written to soothe you.

Where time has been taken to let you know that you are special,

Cared for and loved.

In this moment,

You are safe.

Where all that has come before is forgotten,

And all that will come after hasn't happened.

In this moment,

Absent of exterior pressure,

No one can subtract from your wholeness.

For in this moment,

Presence is swaddling you in tranquility,

In peace of mind,

In the knowing that nothing,

Nothing can hurt you here,

For in this place,

You are safe.

In your breath,

You are safe.

You are safe as it washes in and pours out.

You are safe as it centers your heart like a swinging hammock coming to rest.

You are safe as it takes you underwater,

Where sounds are softened and the only audible whisper is the ocean as it shuffles the sea floor.

You are safe here with me.

You have no problem to solve,

No person to please,

Nothing to do.

This space is yours,

It was made for you and will give you all that you need.

No one can judge you here,

You are safe in this place where you are not alone,

Because here your search for happiness connects you to every living thing.

This place will look after you like a hand that cools your fever with a damp iced towel or one that comforts you by cradling your cheek.

Here nature heals you with breeze and with sunlight,

With water that washes away all that clings to you,

A letting go that leaves you feeling lighter,

Liberated,

Free.

This safe place is a soft bed of marshmallows for you to lay down in,

Where tasty sugar dust floats around you,

This place is a treat for your worried heart.

Here without effort you can be yourself,

Here your mind is as calm as unrippled water.

Just for these few moments,

At the very least today,

In these few moments you are safe.

You do not need to be brave,

You do not need for anything,

You are full from the feast of knowing that there is nothing to fear.

Let these words embrace you,

Let them be enough for you,

Let them build whatever castle moat four walls you need to feel secure,

Protected and at ease.

Let this moment hold you like a mother holds a child,

Supported underneath head,

Looked over for life.

This safe place is as endless as your capacity for love.

This safe place exists within you,

You carry it with you as you move,

It's in your chest,

Just to the left,

Inside the thing that gives you life.

It is the home whose door is always open to you,

The place you have a permanent bed to rest in.

No matter how late in the night you arrive,

There is never any notice needed.

You are forever welcome here.

I too am a warrior of life.

I too continue to step forward in the face of fear.

I too overcome life's most difficult hurdles.

I too juggle ball after ball of responsibility.

I too wake up each morning and do my best but I too need to,

Just sometimes I need to feel safe.

I need to feel as if the world I am a part of has my back.

I need to feel like if I fail I have still achieved in trying.

I need to begin from a place of faith that I am always safe because I always have a safe place to come back to.

My serenity,

The place I cultivate in my heart that I belong to,

That centers me,

Inspires me,

Accepts me and says everything is alright.

Everything is alright.

This was an answer to my prayers. I have been so anxious about things to come, and this just made me realize that I am not alone, and I am safe right now. Your voice really helped me settle into the present moment. Really beautiful, thank you!

So helpful, I use this when I’m not feeling safe! Thank you 🩵🙏

Very soothing and left me with a feeling of not being alone.

I felt like this meditation was what I needed. It moved me greatly. Thank you 🙏

This was poetry. Thank you so much. I really needed to hear that🙏❤️

TY, very nice. Yes, you are safe.

You were born enough & will always be enough.

I don't care if for years you tolerated abuse & being taken advantage of because you didn't know that it was happening. Every day is a new opportunity to recognize what abuse is & to do something different & leave abusive people behind. Even if that happened yesterday or today. Still make the choice to say NO 🚫 & walk away & move forward ⏩ with your life.

May you always leave behind people places jobs things that aren't compatible with you & make you feel unsafe or that it is something wrong with being authentic & happy, loved, supported, & getting your needs met.

You aren't obligated to live your life like anyone else nor to compete nor compare yourself with anyone else, people please, walk around on eggshells, to allow anyone to control you or abuse or use you, change drastically to accommodate anyone else who won't do it for you, to be in lack or out of Alignment with you or your life purpose, be in one-sided connections where people only desire to take advantage of you or fake love or false sense of revenge or entitlements or double standards.

You don't have to practice beliefs that aren't compatible with you, go to school or work that isn't compatible with you, stay allowing people to tear you down or abuse you, take on anyone else's responsibilities, or give up on yourself, your life purpose, life, nor self sabotage, self sacrifice for anyone who wouldn't do it for you, hate or hurt yourself, your body, life purpose, or life. Or anything else that isn't compatible with you. You can always say NO 🚫 which is a full sentence & doesn't need an explanation to follow it & if you choose to follow it with an explanation let it be brief.

You don't have to live in survival, crisis, fear, lack mode nor take anyone else's responsibilities, beliefs that aren't compatible with you, their projections, expectations, hatred or ill-will towards you or trauma inflicted onto you personally. It doesn't have anything to do with you. It's a reflection of them.

You don't have to stay nor return to unsafe relationships nor environments where you won't get your needs met & people think that you shouldn't have your needs MET.

You don't need permission to leave. Let them go & never stay nor return nor stay in contact with controlling or abusive people who think that you need to be miserable, abused, struggle, lose weight, lose your mind, lose your life, give only & never receive anything that you need or something else toxic & don't constantly argue with anyone it will never get better because there are irreconcilable differences that will never be resolved. Some people don't like themselves, so they want you to do the same. There's NO 🚫 obligation to hate yourself or your needs to go unmet. That is abuse & trauma Repetition, codependency regardless of the title of the person, Never feel obligated to stay nor return to that.

You are safe to meet your own needs & practice self care daily, only the belief system that works best for you, & live your own individual life NOT 🚫 what is expected nor projected & you don't need permission to do it & let go of people who has a problem with that. They aren't compatible with you & NOT 🚫 obligated to be in your life.

You are here to do your own life purpose, be appreciated, safe & loved. You are safe & loved. God is love regardless of what name you desire to call God.

Letting go is a daily process-Melody Beattie
