When you’re feeling stressed, or when you just need a break, it’s nice to have a safe place to which you can retreat. Let me show you how to create a secure, comfortable space you can access anywhere, anytime.
Has anyone ever told you to “just go to your happy place?” The phrase is often used tongue-in-cheek, but the truth is, you can use imagery to create a safe haven to visit that serves you anytime you need it.
The technique is simple. Find relatively quiet place. Sit or lie down in a comfortable, supported position, and imagine a place in which you feel safe and comfortable. It can be a real place or an imaginary place, indoors or outdoors. You can create a new place every time you do this meditation, but it can also be helpful to go back to the same place over and over again. Each time you retreat to the same place, you enrich the imagery and make it more relaxing, soothing, and secure. The more often you go back to this place, the faster you’ll be able to conjure up the image.
The key to this technique is to engage all your senses. Start by imagining how your space looks. Notice colours, textures, and movement. Then notice the ambient smells and sounds. Imagine reaching out to touch objects in your space. Notice the weather, the temperature, and the lighting. And, don’t forget to notice whether there are people or animals in your space.
Whatever you imagine, be sure that it makes you feel safe and secure. You are in full control of this space. Edit your space to remove things that make you feel unsafe and add things that make you feel secure. You can, for example, add comfortable furniture, a warm blanket, a locked door, or long expanse of ocean separating you from things that don’t belong in a comfortable space. You can add people or animals to keep you company, or you can remove people or objects that you don’t want to spend time with. This is your space and it can be whatever you want and need it to be.
Now, let me guide you to your safe place
For a 12-minute guided imagery meditation, forward the podcast or the video above to 2:30
