You Are Safe, You Are Enough

Return to a sense of safety and calm with this 8-minute meditation, and remember that you are enough, just as you are.

So many of us operate in a state of heightened stress all the time, and in that place, it's challenging to make healthy decisions. When we're feeling calm and centered, we can make far better choices – choices that align with our highest good.

This guided meditation is designed to help you lower the volume on stress and self-criticism, so you can find presence and tranquility. From here, you can make healthy, aligned choices for your day, and for your life.

(This meditation is intended to support you in moments of stress, anxiety and hypercriticism, rather than physical danger. If you are in physical danger, please remove yourself from the danger if possible and seek refuge in a safe location.)

Hello and welcome,

My name is Tamsin Bradshaw,

And this is You Are Safe,

You Are Enough.

This is a guided visualization designed to support you in registering safety in this moment,

And registering sufficiency in this moment,

So that your nervous system can relax and you can come back to a centered place.

So if you're ready,

Let's explore.

Taking a moment to find a comfortable seat,

Or lying down if you prefer,

And now registering the space around you,

Registering the walls of the room you're in,

Registering where you sit or lie within your space,

Mentally taking a note of all the objects in the room around you,

And just registering that in this moment,

You are safe,

You are safe enough that you can take a few moments to meditate,

In peace,

Just for now,

You are safe,

And registering that in this moment,

You lack nothing,

You have everything you need in this moment,

Registering that for now,

There's nothing much that you do need,

Except a pocket of peace and quiet,

And if there's mental noise arising and emotions flowing,

Just allow them to continue in their own space,

Let them be there,

There's nothing you have to change or do,

Except allow,

And return to this realization that in this moment,

There is enough,

And you are enough in this moment,

Right here,

Right now,

There is nobody that you need to be,

Nothing you need to do,

And just returning to sensing the room around you,

Sensing your safety again in this moment,

Feeling gratitude for that safety,

And so many others don't have safety,

Just knowing that safety is your right,

And sufficiency is your right,

These are your birthright,

Safety in your body and your space,

Sufficiency in your body and your space,

In your being,

And the more people who claim back their safety and their sufficiency,

The better our world will be,

So claim it,

Claim it not just for yourself,

But on behalf of those who can't claim their safety or their sufficiency,

Just claiming it with so much gratitude for the fact that it is yours and that you are able to claim it,

And just taking a couple of breaths once again,

Deep breaths in through the nose and if you like out through the mouth,

Deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth,

Wiggling fingers and toes,

Stretching,

Moving your spine back and forth,

Coming back into full presence and opening your eyes when you're ready.
