All of us have places that we feel safer in or people or pets that comfort us and make us feel safe, but we can’t always access those places, people, or pets so it is important to be able to create safety for ourselves. 

This is a guided meditation to help us create a place of safety within our minds. I invite you to create an image of your safe place after meditating and encourage you to take a picture of your created image with your phone so that you can carry it with you.

Safe Place Meditation

 Hi everyone. We all have places where we feel safer in and people that we feel safer around. Unfortunately, we cannot always get to these places or surround ourselves with things and people that make us feel safer and less afraid of whatever we're facing at the moment. What we can do though is create a safe place in our imagination using guided imagery. I encourage you to make an image afterwards of your safe place by either drawing, making a collage, or some other image. I also encourage you to take a picture of that image with your phone so that you can carry it with you and remind yourself of your safe place. Now I would like you to find a comfortable position. You may lay down or take a seated meditation position and close your eyes or simply let them go out of focus. And feel where your body makes contact with the floor. I notice how the ground is supporting you. Be aware of your breath. Your in-breath and your out-breath. You do not need to change your breath in any way. Imagine that you're breathing in safety and calm and breathing out fear. Each time you breathe in, you feel calmer. And each time you breathe out, you release more fear. Breathing in calm, releasing fear. Now I want you to create a safe place in your mind. It can be a cave or a deserted beach or a mountain top or anywhere that you feel safe. No one is allowed to be here without your permission. What do you see? What color is the sky or comforting walls? You can make anything, any color that you wish. Are there fragrant flowers? Is there running water? What does your safe place smell like? Maybe you'd like to add a healing pool. Candles, pillows to rest upon, beautiful music, or anything else that comforts you. Just breathe and relax in your sacred safe place. Know that you can come here any time you wish and that you will always be safe here. You can feel a kind of warm and happy energy in your body. Take some more deep breaths and relax into your sacred safe place. When you rest in your safe place and talk to your feelings, you may find that your feelings are not as big and overpowering as they once seemed. Remember, you can come here whenever you want and stay as long as you like. Now slowly bring your attention back to your breath. Your in-breath and your out-breath. And slowly bring your attention back to the room. Any sounds that you may hear. Feel the temperature of the air on your skin. You can wiggle your fingers and toes and stretch and open your eyes if you haven't already. I'm sending you my love and light. Namaste.
