Happy New Year Everyone laugh.

Creating a safe place

Do you have any safe place to which you can withdraw to recharge your batteries after a stressful event or could you create it physically like maybe in the house or outside, garden, park?

Here is an exercise about creating an imaginary safe place in your mind which is always available, no matter where you are.

Imagine a place that is safe and comfortable. You are protected by an invisible power, noone can hurt you.

Use your senses to fully enter the safe place. Notice how it looks, paying attention to even the smallest details. Notice the sounds, or the silence. How does it feel? Stay in this place for a while, and go there whenever you need to soothe and calm yourself.

This was a nice check-in! My safe place is a cozy study with lots of books, a fire, rain on the windows, comfy chairs...

@amiablePeace77 this is a really great post for many Ami. I do have a "safe place" or a place where I can calm down or just detach if I need to. It's a place not far from reality. Just calm colors, calm noises, calm things I see. Once I feel calm and ready to attend life-I come back all spunky and freshheart

@RumpleSteeleSkin

Nice rumple, such a place is worth more than lots of other material things because it gives us what we really need - peace, time to recharge to face the challenges of the day again. smiley

Nice Zulegirl, nature can be our best healer. Horse-back riding is awesome, to me it's beautiful to form such a deep connection with an animal.

Lovely laugh. Water is the source of life; we are water beings who all belong to the water cycle.wink

@amiablePeace77 stopped all estrogenic compounds last year (sadly lavendar is one!)... but I love using epsom salts! :)

Epsom salt has many health benefits, its amazing.

Thanks for the information regarding lavender, I did not know it has hormonal-like effects for estrogen. Hope the Epsom salt will be a good replacement for you.

Nice, books are so calming and having a good family is worth more than anything else you could possibly buy.

I like to go into the forest, I find it's a great place to clear your mind and just be free and enjoy the fresh air!

Nice Goldcherry, I feel so too. Being around trees helps me to relax and recharge. Read that breathing in the organic compounds that trees emit – phytoncides – as you explore the forest can help improve your immune system.
