Safe space visualization is a stress reduction technique where you imagine a peaceful place to relax. Your brain and body respond to these thoughts as if they were real. Get comfortable in a quiet space, close your eyes, and release tension. Imagine a calm and safe place, noticing colors, sounds, smells, and sensations. Give it a name and make it more comfortable if needed. Feel grateful for this time and promise to return. Slowly come back to the room, focusing on your breath and body. Open your eyes. We are connected in that safe space. Namaste. Safe space visualization is a powerful stress reduction technique. Using it, you can soothe yourself, imagining a peaceful, safe place where you can relax. The truth is, your brain and body often can't tell the difference between what's really happening to you and what you're just imagining. So if you can successfully create a peaceful, relaxing scene in your thoughts, your body will often respond to those soothing thoughts as the read. This is Aimee Khairy, and today I'm going to guide you into a safe place visualization meditation. Let's start by getting comfortable in a quiet space where you will not be disturbed. Start deepening your breath, closing your eyes, and becoming aware of any tension in your body. And as you exhale, let that tension go out of your body. Now imagine a place where you can feel calm, peaceful, and safe. It may be a place you have been to before, a place from your childhood, somewhere you have dreamed about going to, somewhere you have seen a picture of, or just a peaceful place you can create in your mind's eye. Look around you in that place. Notice the colors and shapes. What else did you notice? Now notice the sounds that are around you, perhaps the silence. Sounds far away than those nearer to you, those that are more noticeable than those that are more subtle. Think about any smells you notice in this place. Then focus on your skin sensations, the earth beneath you or whatever is supporting you in that place, the temperature, any movement of air, anything else you can touch. Notice the pleasant physical sensations in your body while you enjoy this safe place. Now while you are in your peaceful and safe place, you might choose to give it a name, whether it's one word or a phrase that you can use to bring that image back to you anytime you need it. Now look around you and notice if there is anything else that can make this space more comfortable for you, perhaps something you need to remove from the place or something you would like to bring in. If you would like to bring someone or something else into this space, please do. Breathe deeply and enjoy the feelings of relaxation and comfort. Now feel thankful towards yourself for taking the time, this time for yourself and perhaps promising yourself, reassuring yourself that you will visit this place again and again whenever you need to. Know inside of your heart that you can return to this place anytime you wish, to relax, to feel replenished, just by doing exactly as you are doing now, sitting or lying down in a comfortable position, allowing your eyes to come close and bringing the image of your special place. Now slowly, gently come back to the room. Bring awareness to your breath one more time. Slowly start feeling your weight on the mat, the chair or the ground. Start bringing awareness into your fingers and toes. And slowly open your eyes. I bow to you. I honor the divine place in you that is also in me. And I know that when you are in that space and I am in that space, that we are one. Namaste.
