Safe Space

First meditation

I learned that the beach is my safe place. This is where I can breathe, reflect and dream.

My safe place

I relaxing place is the beach. Very tranquil and calming when I think about it

Safe Space

I enjoyed this session. Thinking about my safe space allowed me to have more of a sense of comfort tonight.

My first experience

I learned that my safe space is in heaven with God. I reflected on what I thought it would be like to be there and sunk into the peace that the visuals offered me.

My safe space is within me

I visualized my future home, with my future beloved. And also, I realized that I will create that physical space by feeling it now...

Safe Space

In bed, cuddled up next to my husband in a tree house with views of the forest through open windows as a soft rain falls

Safe Space

I learned that my safe space is in a grassy field of wildflowers in Oregon. I can see a mountain-like or cliff area off in the distance. There is a small body of water near. The temperature is neither hot or cold, just a slight breeze around 70 degrees. I have comfy blankets to lay out and relax on. There is no one around me. There are clouds in the blue sky and birds are seen flying above. Butterflies are dancing around flower to colorful flower. I'm feeling safe and secluded.

Safe space

Ha my safe space was in the hot press (airing cupboard) of the house I grew up in. Smelled kinda musty..

My Safe Place

My safe place is Arizona, Phoenix or Scottsdale. They have cactuses that protect me from danger and yeah the warm sun too with 110 degrees weather yaaaaaa yolo

Safe Place

This is the first time, and I learned my safe space is my home. I always feel comfortable with my mom or dad and it's nice to know I always know where to go when i'm scared

Safe Space

I learned my safe space is in a forest, surrounded by trees and the rustling of wind through the leaves soothes me.

Trust.

I have a hard time trusting and believing others because I have know betrayal too often. It's hard to not anticipate the things you constantly think of so it's almost like I'm waiting everyday for it to happen. I want so badly to be able to test the person I love but I can't wrap my head around his tactics. It saddens me the way we are right now, and I always go back to the anticipation hoping and praying that something changes. Though I'm not perfect, I know that I can trust me, and make it possible for others to. I wanna be set free of this constant feeling of being less than I deserve to feel. I want my heart to sing, not cry.

Safe place

It's important to keep in mind that you have somewhere to go and feel safe during hard times

Safe

Safety, like home, is where the heart is. I don't need to write anything else but it wouldn't let me be brief!

Aware

When you have your safe place , you can learn to retreat and recharge. Would that we all had a safe place in reality.

Safe Space

Sometimes a safe space is a warm memory of a friend you keep close to your soul at all times.

Safe space

I had a safe space sometime ago. But then my heart was broken. When that happened I stopped going to it. I learned I can create another safe space without feeling sad and that time can heal a broken heart. I love this meditation.

Breathers

Sometimes it is nice, no matter what you have going on, to just stop things for a second, do a session and put yourself in a slightly new mindset

Self-compassion

The only one who’s here all the time, able and willing to give me the gift of compassion is me. I can give myself freedom, joy, love, and rest. Maybe I can even be freedom, joy, love, and rest. I’m trying to get to know what that means.

Focus

I learned that I need to focus on something else instead of a bunch of things running through my head at once to be able to calm down , relax & be stress free ...it’ll take a lot more work but I will get better.

Breathing

After a stressful day, it’s important to find times to focus on breathing and reconnecting with your mind and body.

Calming

No need to force it .... The image of the space will form almost on its own

Problem

The safety the excellence the purity of feeling all drip into and out of all beings in the speed of now

Anxiety space

When told to imagine a safe space, I unfortunately realized I don’t have one, or at least one I can think of right away. This then distracted me as I couldn’t decide on a safe space. But I never confronted that before, so this was eye opening.

I realized

Even if you can't think of a physical safe space, there is always some place we can imagine where we feel the upmost comfort and safety

Safe space

Great meditation to return to over and over again when I need to feel safe. She guides you through identifying your space clearly and evoking all of its nuances. Wonderful. I felt truly connected to that time and space. It was a great escape.

Moms embrace

My safe place was in my moms arms, in my old room as a child. A simpler time when life had few worries and nothing a hug couldn’t fix!

Forest

My safe place was in the forest. It was relaxing and really let me become one with nature itself. Nothing’s more relaxing to me than feeling the wind hit my face and hearing the birds sing their songs.

Family

I find comfort in them and they're comfortable be with. They give me strength in my mind and my body

Safe with family

My safe place is with my sister at the her farm,peaceful warm loving vibes

First meditation

I am not controller of the universe. Letting go of what I can’t control is something I need to practice and embrace. It was so pleasant and peaceful in my safe place. Taking time for me is not selfish it is necessary. I work very hard all week and am always trying to learn and get better but sometimes even that good goal can bring it’s own stress. I am not always aware of the stress I put on myself because I have been negligent in being good to me. If I want to learn and grow I need to be aware of my needs too, not just everyone else’s. If I take the time for my needs I can provide better care for others. Wow all that in one session. Looking forward to the next one.

Safe space

I learned that I can use places I’ve been to and really love to calm me down

Safe space

I learned that I can use places I’ve been to and really love to calm me down

Safe space

Thanks to program notification I enjoyed a gentle message of affirmation

Safe space

My safe space is my home is where I feel comfortable and relax listening to birds outside singing to each other.

Section

I thing it's good 😊 to have a safe space and Look at or vitality see that place and being in it!

Imagination

How to imagine. There is no more please don’t show this pop out alert again.

Visualization

I recently read about visualizing a safe space during meditation and inviting your inner child/younger self there to have a conversation and delve into past experiences. I️ find it fitting that this is the first meditation that came up since reading that. This is the first time I’ve visualized during meditation since maybe 7th grade when I was first introduced to it. Usually I just focus on my breath or body tension. I️ like this more.

Maine

My safe place is a beach where I vacationed once a a child and aa few times as an adult. Sweet memories!

My mind was wildly distracted. I couldn’t choose ‘A’ safe space, but had at least three.

It’s okay and I received some solace if only for a moment in each place during the this meditation.

Safety

My safe place is in my body. If I can focus my thoughts and emotions into myself I can find that safety anywhere.

Home🏡 Safe🏠 Space🏚 Home

🏘Being out around my Extended Family visiting makes me realize how Sweet it is that they need so much Attention from me. They were so needy. Our kids bonded so well it was sweet. I'm happy there wasn't any explosions. Good to be around them all it was long overdue. Grateful that everyone respected everybody's space. Good bonding time getting to hang what's good for the Mind. Well we're going home to our Safe Space missed my Place and Space. Home Sweet Home Almost at my Home🏘

Reunited again and again

Because I have been actively grieving the death of my sweet husband since September, I have needed more than ever to create a new safe place. This meditation helped to make it easier for me! Thanks to meditation I’ve learned there doesn’t have to be boundaries to true happiness....so I included the safest person I know into my safe place....or maybe I should say Our safe place! The result is always the same, I feel complete peace instantly and I get to Reunite with him over and over again!! He’s there every time with open arms, just waiting to help me feel better!!! This meditation has brought me tremendous JOY and PEACEFULNESS!!!

After a day like this

I was surprised that even though today has been brutal with major shifts it is still possible to find a safe place and peace in my own head

Safe place

I feel warm, I feel happy and I feel safe in my safe place. I am motivated to bring myself up, and get out of this state of mind. I am a happy person, I can’t let this anxiety take over my life.

Safe space

I liked the what do you see, what do you hear, what do you smell, what do you feel questions. Helps make it a concrete setting.

Found my safe space

I have a safe place now to help me when I feel a little overwhelmed

Safe space

My safe space is a warm cozy king sized bed with a down feather white duvet on it. The bed is a massive alluring hug inviting me to sink into a deep sleep for as long as I want. The sunlight is gently streaming through the window panes, and the air smells like fresh laundry, musty basement, and warm scentsy candles. I have a low fan on for beautiful background noise with binaural beats to ease me into sleep.

Seaside

I feel safest in the warmth of a sunrise, sitting on a beach listening to the waves.

Beach

I am floating above a serene sea with the warmth of the sun on my face birds chirping in the background..

Safe Space

I have a lot of safe spaces so it was hard for me to focus on one thing. Then, once I did focus on my favorite place to sit and think, it made me feel sad that I wasn’t there now.

Weds 12.6

It’s so much easier than I thought it would be to mentally transfer myself to a place where I feel centered and safe. It’s a nice reminder that we don’t always have to be where we want to be to be there in our hearts and minds. I’m excited to take moments out of my day to go back there and continue to imprint my imagination with realty.

Save Spaces

This is another meditation that I’ll probably come back to. We all have days in which we’d like to escape and times where we need a moment to think.

safe space

i learned that having a safe space can keep you happy and grounded

Impossible Spaces and You

When I tried to picture this space, I found my mind wafting between imaging in’s a real-world place I had been to, and a forest-y image like on the picture. I could feel myself phasing between both spaces at once, almost like my anxieties were trying to interrupt this practice. It ended when I realized that I *could* be in both places at once, and created a hybrid of both spaces to experience. I stopped worrying about “doing it right” and started living in the moment in this space that I created for myself.

Home

Everywhere is good but home is the best. Welcome home. Namaste

Calm

We can just be peaceful and completely serene and that’s a good feeling to recall in trying times

Safe Space

I found that when asked to picture a safe space I did not have to think, a place I feel safe immediately popped into my head. This made me able to picture it in such great detail, I’m excited to use this as a tool for moments of panic throughout daily life.

Late

I waited to late in the day to listen to this one, her long pauses were fine, but not when I'm this tired. My mind wandered and almost fell asleep every time she would pause.

We’re all connected

During today’s meditation I felt a deep connection with the energy around my. I suddenly understood purpose, positivity, unity, and serenity. I’m grateful for my spiritual connection with the universe. It allows my ego to recognize humility and my perspective to change so that I may see all the beauty around me. Great start to the day.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are

I learned that you can meditate using this app wherever I am... it really helps when you have a busy schedule.

Safe space

I felt transported to my safe space. It is nice to know that remembering a safe space can bring me such happiness and peace.

A safe space for me

This is a nice practice to imagine or remember a couple of places where I feel very safe and comfortable and the stress and anxiety just goes away

A safe space for two.

I learned that my partner and I featured in each other's safe spaces. Hers a beach, mine a desert.

Contentment

I learned that when I’m feeling emotions of sadness, loneliness, or anything similar to those emotions, to pause and find contentment.

Safe space

I enjoyed bringing back memories of camping in fall. So easy to connect with those memories and get lost in the moment. So soothing to the mind.

Safe Space

A perfectly lovely way to get in touch with oneself as well as beautiful memories and possibly beautiful dreams.

Family

I learned that my family and Childhood home is what makes me feel most safe

Safe Space

I learned that for just a moment, time stood still in my mind. I could breathe again in my safe place.

Day 6

I learned that imagining and feeling the warmth of my safe space made me relax and actually brought me comfort.

My first session (happy place)

Going to my happy place really helps with relaxing and when I feel stressed I should go back to my happy place. My happy place is on a cliff filled with animals and green trees and grass and flowers looking out to a beautiful sunset over the ocean. I’m not alone in my happy place, Mama, Daddy, and Noah are all there and we’re all sitting together hugging and watching the sunset.

Safe space

Feeling really anxious with Christmas feelings and big feelings in recovery. Good to meditate on a safe space to be when I feel fearful

With every word I write, my longing to be home keeps strengthening :')

The only place that comes to my mind which it had to be both the safest and also righteously mine was my home.I suppose it will always be. My home. As I delve deeper into the thought, I can literally visualise the main door opening. On stepping in my mumma appears before me and welcomes me back by taking me into her warm embrace.The love that radiates from her makes me feel I'm home. Soon my younger sister comes running to me smiling brightly. The moment I see her I can't help but tease her as always. She rushes towards me to hit me and chases me as I try save myself. The room echoes with sounds of laughter and playfulness. Papa arrives home all tired from work. I know what he needs even if he doesn't ask. A hot cup of tea that too made by me. That feeling when I see his tiredness fade away slowly as he sips the tea makes me feel I'm home..That chair near the window where I lie all lousy and read, the kitchen where we all of us cook and eat together.Truly the safest place to be.Home 💕

Safe Space

My anxiety is an over-response to a situation that is not really a threat. Imagining a safe space reminds me I am rarely actually threatened and have no need to be anxious.

Safe space

I was surprised that my safe place was in the forest as I typically enjoy the ocean. However, I think the solitude and warmth that I imagined drew me to this secret oasis. One thing that made me happy was I felt like I belonged there and that the forest loved me. I also didn’t feel obligated to think of anything but how nice it felt to be laying there. Hopefully this is a space I can go to in the future when I’m feeling sad and alone.

Safe Space

I learned that it’s important to have somewhere that makes you feel safe, happy, and calm.

Safe space

I learned that I can always go to my safe space. No matter what I’m feeling, I can reflect in a healthy way and let it all go alongside the water. I can connect with mother earth while I walk on the path and allow my worries to dissolve, I can allow myself to stop and feel that present moment

‼️

I don’t have to ever give up my beloved silks. I need to go back, not give up. At least in a few months 💔

Land

My safe space is walking on my family’s land.... hiking on the trails through the hundreds of pine trees I planted myself 15 years ago.

Safety is My Person

I have thought long and hard about my safe place. My Person has been my safe place - no matter where we are. That isn't necessarily a good thing. My safe place should not rely on anyone else. It makes me vulnerable which defies the purpose of safety.

Day 7 on here!

I have loved the last week! This one was nice because it brought me to a place that I always feel like I can be myself and be safe and alone.

Safe Space

I learned that finding a safe space can help you feel more at ease in any day, a stressful day, a happy day, or even a day we are sad. We can go to our safe space and fell, well, safe.

Reconnect

It’s so important and take your mind to a place that you feel safe. I’m slowly getting to a point in my life where I’m relieving myself of all the hurt and pain that I’ve held on to. I’m trying to go into this year with nothing but happy memories.

Crystal cave

Around me I see a primeval forest, so many sounds permeate it’s pristine foliage. In front of me is a crystal clear lake. The shore is pebbled, sweet smelling flowers hang enticingly at the waters edge occasionally trailing its vines in its depth. Golden and ruby fruit hang heavy from massive branches, seemingly twisting their way skyward, dipping their limbs into the brightness of the sky. A large waterfall cascades into this lake creating rainbows in its wake. Within is my safe place, a crystal cave, always lit by gentle light and diffuse rainbows where it leads to the top of a cliff. I can jump into the clouds here and fly, feeling the moisture beading on me as I dip into their depths to be warmed by the sun as I emerge with a shout of joy.

My safe place this morning was my house.

I’m very anxious and need to let go and have confidence in myself

Safe

Taking a moment to relax into a safe space is good practice for when I am in a stressful situation

Wondrous Wednesday 1-10-18

Safe Place. Thank Lyndi, It was nice to here from you again. I was playing and laughing in my safe place with my support pup, Bella. This meditation is very joyous and good to do throughout your day. Have a nice day, Everyone!😀

Safe place

I like the idea of visiting my “safe place” since it helps replace my anxiety with positive feelings like warmth, safety, and contentment. This place for me is a place I need to visit throughout the day, if for only 1-2 minutes.

Safe space-What I want

I imagined my ideal safe space and found that I m starting to discover what I want. Not what I think other people want or what I think they think I should want ( if that makes any sense) I’ve always been a people pleaser and have had a hard time determining what makes Me happy and what I truly want. Perhaps after just over a month of regular meditation I am starting to find out.

Glacier National Park

I struggled for the first thirty seconds to find my safe place but once I landed on this I was set. I was surrounded by wild flowers, wind, mountains, and waterfalls, and gorgeous views. Soaking in that nature scene is my safe place.

1/15/18

Picturing a safe, comfortable place can be very helpful during times of sadness and confusion.

Safe Space

Very helpful mindset for my most recent anxious feelings. A helpful reminder to find your safe space and reconnect with yourself.

I can find a safe place in my mind at any time

A safe place helps me feel less anxious. Hopefully I will member today to go to that safe place when I am anxious.

Safe space

I learned that take the time to visualize my safe space gave me peace and comfort. I felt lighter and less anxious for my day.

19/365

I picked my room as my safe space. It is a place that I can decorate and design however I want or please. I can hang my lights and light candles and open the window for breeze. It is a place that I can practice my “alone time” and read or meditate. I am going to make it a goal to spend more time in my safe space to reduce my anxiety.

Safe space

Safe spaces are so important because when you’re feeling sad or stressed having the opportunity to go to your safe space makes a difference. Blocking out the negativity and focusing on the good energy will enlighten your mood.

Safe soace

Visualizing the specific details of the forest brings so much comfort. Actually felt surrounded by warmth and love. Tangible. Can’t wait to use this again in my daily life.

January 23

Come back to my mental “safe space” as needed to relax a couple times throughout the day, especially if tense.

Places from my past

Places from my past came to mind as my safe space and it was bittersweet because i miss those times. It made me realize that I’m not as happy as I should be in the present..

Safe Space

I learned that my safe spaces are my bed and my parents dock at the lake. During this exercise I kept undulating back and forth between the two as the water undulates with the wake.

Safe space

Tonight I could almost visualize a space. Visualization isn’t my forte but I do try. The image shown reminds me of a trail in Alaska where I saw crooked trees and wildlife and was so happy.

Practicing visualization

This was a good meditation to help flesh out a visualized safe space.

When I hear safe I think of my person

When I hear “safe” I automatically think of the warmth of being in my person’s arms. I feel like I’m safe from everything when I’m there.

Safe space

I learned that during meditation if you recall somewhere you’ve been that is a safe space for you that you can relax yourself and bring yourself back to how you felt at that place.

Safe space

I have a hard time sticking with a visualization of a safe space. It’s not because I don’t feel safe. It’s because I have a hard time thinking of one place.

Flashback

I learned that thinking of a safe space is making me think about what’s going to happen when I need a safe space.

My school

I learned that my safe place is my old school, the people, the sound of the children in the playground, the rainy days... I feel safe when I think of it. Thanks ✨

safe space

i can reflect on my safe space to give me support through difficult times

safe place

i learned that i should visualize myself in my safe place wether i’m stressed or upset and just take in all the details

Being comfortable and safe

Love is something that makes us feel safe, where we don’t have to question or wonder or analyze because we know the love is real and selfless

Safe space

It’s a pretty interesting meditation learning to visualise the places where we could meditate and think about them in our mind as a form of concentration while we meditate.

Beautiful

I'll try to reflect on my safe space throughout the day. Thinking about it made me smile during meditation. It's my happy place.

Safe space

I learned that a safe space can be anywhere, my first thought was lovely, I’m safe, it’s warm, and so familiar and comforting, makes me feel content. Loved this meditation.

Safe Place?

Right now, my safe place is my imagination. I go there for short visits, reminiscing about wonderful places I’ve been and people and other nonhumans I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. That’s also where I make my plans for my future for health, wisdom, happiness and compassion. Thank you, Lyndie. 🙏

Reconnect

Acknowledge one's environment and truthful ideology to master life

Hammock life =peace and bliss

Mediation can help me relax and find peace and doesn’t have to be long

Safe place

My safe place is the beach. The calming sound of the waves and the warmth of the sun with sand between my toes. That’s the place I find peace.

Safe Space

It’s important to have a safe space. It’s important to have a safe space.

Safe Space

My safe space I thought of was my childhood bedroom. It has always been there waiting for me when I need it.

Safe space

One day I would like to visit Italy. I imagined myself in a beautiful villa with a cup of coffee and a view of the amazing countryside near Tuscany. I feel this would be a safe haven for me.

Safe comfort

I learned that being present in my safe spot in my head, can lead to being comfortable in my present place.

Self-inflicted pressure

When asked to picture a safe space, I found myself wanting to skip over the safest place that initially came to mind because it felt too easy, too simple. I tried to seek a more picturesque or elaborate safe place like a specific foreign beach or something more exotic. Why did I think my initial safe place - on the couch curled up with my husband and dog - wasn’t interesting enough? Why do we inflict this pressure on ourselves to make our life more impressive, even when we only have an audience of 1?

2nd day

Nothing new so far... still trying to be a better person. Thinking about purchasing it.

A new one everyday.

During this specific ‘safe space’ meditation I learnt that I was unable to think of only one safe space for myself.I guess, for me it’s going to be a different one everyday.Today, it was this valley surrounded by widely stretched mountains on all sides.Lush green grass with a few trees afar.I could hear the birds,insects, swaying of the leaves and the blended sound of ocean waves and the wind.Cool breeze lashing on my bare face, I could see a trodden path before me calling me to explore it and see if for myself. Amidst nature, I was once again at home! 🌻

Pause

I felt so much more alive and connected to myself after. Amazing how you truly sense your body!

Safe Space

I learned that my safe space brings me comfort and peace and it’s a good place to be while meditating.

Safe & Sound

My safe spot was a loft room my husband and I stayed in years ago along a shoreline road in Jamaica. The locks weren’t necessarily secure but the people were trustworthy and all trying to do their best. Good memories. Namaste

Ese lugar

De inmediato me vino a la mente el sitio donde estoy actualmente. Donde siempre había querido pero no había estado. Pero aún así no es todo. Hay más. Quisiera estar en ese lugar que es mucho más seguro y que puede representar mejores cosas. Ese lugar deb llegar porque todo orienta hacia allá.

Patience

Piece by piece connect to your best of you and work with it. Like remembering when you where a child and you just want to explore and smile. Reconnect with you inner young child and let him remember you, what was live alike before adult life.

Safe

It’s not necessarily a particular place but a state of mind.

Safe

I couldn’t find my safe space, probably because I’ve never really felt safe.

Safe within Self

I have a lot of spaces where I feel safe, but it also isn't always consistent. I feel safe when I'm at my house, but I have felt unsafe alone there at times. I feel safe in nature but there have been many times when my worries remove that. Even at home, I have felt times of discomfort and insecurity leading to a lack of safety. In this self awareness space Im in i wonder if i can cultivate safe space within myself. It seems to me to be the ultimate of safe spaces- so that no matter where i go i can feel connected to safety.

Safe at home

Home is my natural ”safe space”. Home with my things, but most especially with my wife and kids. I learned to appreciate home and family the most when I was trapped in the hospital after having my massive stroke, and shunted to a recovery hospital over four hours from home! Six months away from home was the most miserable experience if my life. 😪😭

Safe Space - Bed

I imagined myself waking up on a crisp morning stretching in my bed and staying cozy under my covers. Very peaceful!

Safe Space

I learned to be one with my safe space. I imagined my self with my boyfriend at his home dancing!

Day 1

Listening to a calm voice made my heart race then slow down

I felt more relaxed

I learned that I can relax by just breathing and being able to think of a safe spot where I can be or just sit and think

Safe space

i loved where this meditation took me. i imagines my dream future apartment, a minimalistic white room with light brown floors and fuzzy white rug and white bed. lots of golden sunlight coming through the blinds, many plants, cool atmosphere. i wish i could have this place

I feel great

I felt the safest I’ve ever felt with this. I was able to imagine everything so perfectly! I never wanted to leave that.

Safe

Safe spaces are important for keeping calm and comfortable through the day

Relaxing night

It time to relax in bath & feel relax & refresh & de stress & after lay in bed & write a journal that sounds great

That was nice

I learned of the ways I could just fall asleep when I forget my medication. I just wish it went on for longer since I woke up once it finished.

Safe Space

So relaxing to visualize and breathe in my space...a great way to calm the central nervous system and relieve pain. Thanks, Lyndi, for guiding me to my safe place. 🙏🏻

First session.

Safe space really relaxed me. It helped me to think about where i am safe. Now i feel better.

Felt my head relax💫

I felt that when you lay down and try to go to sleep you don’t always have to be mad or sad just be peaceful and happy to be alive and to pray because today was forgiven and tmr is never a promise💗💗

Put my worries at ease.

While listening to this and picturing my “safe space”, I felt any strife wash away. I’m new to this and thought it would be nice to start for my anxiety. My hopes are high for this to work out!

Safe Space

Who knew with just a little direction I could end up in such a beautiful, calming place. Wonderful quick session.

They sing to me

I am high in the sky, my wings wrapped around my body as if to shelter me from the cold. I plummet downwards, wind slaps at me but I hold no fear. As I drop, I also spread my wings and I soar, I fly, the stars sing for me, the moon whispers her secrets and baths me in her luminosity. I glide in light and love and the earth spreads out beneath me. I hold such affection for it, my heart wants to burst but that inky darkness around me holds my love, I reach for the stars.

Swimming...

I was transported back to a place in Canada where we used to go as a family growing up. It had this very cool rocky beach where we’d swim, suntan & fish and have the best time making family & friend memories! Ironically, it probably was not the safest place for weak swimmers but I was our High School swim team Captain twice so I loved it! Mmmmm... slightly beach smell with cedars & evergreen sprinkled in. Bluest sky you ever saw with little puffy white cotton clouds and the brightest sun you could ask for with no humidity... ahhhhh... just found my “Happy Place”!! ❤️✌🏼

Here and Now

My safe space is always with me and I can always return there, whenever I need such security.

what i felt and noticed

i rly felt liked this calmed me down! i was skeptical at first but it rly brought me to my senses and made me realize that it was ok!

Safe Place

My safe place is easy to find when I’m feeling good but difficult to imagine when feeling blue. Forcing myself to take a few minutes a couple of times a day helps me see/hear/feel it.

Safe Space

My safe space is anywhere I can be alone and just listen to my surroundings and nature, maybe it’s a beach or a forest. I need to go to my safe space more often.

Safe space

I immediately imagined my favorite place in nature that I visited as a kid and then as a teen with my best friend. This place is a symbol of my journey growing up and imagining it made me feel warm, happy, safe, and content.

Thankful

Lyndi has such a kind and gentleness about her voice.. I am always in a better place emotionally after her little talks.. I wish I could afford to upgrade and try out the longer meditations. I look forward to the day I am able todo so.. Thank you for sharing your beautiful messages with me.. Namaste 🐛🌻🦋😇

:)

taking time out of my day to focus on me, helps to be a better me

Gold Beach, OR

Beaches are my safe space. This place is sacred and safe for me. This is the place that I will remember forever. This is my daily think 💭 time. SCD.

Safe space

I can find a place in mind that brings up feelings of safety and go to that place when needed.

My safe spaces are quite similar. They are all on cac

vacation to various rentals around the New Hampshire. Near lakes and easy shopping. My little bird comes with us. Last year he found his favorite perch on a chair, looking out at the lake. Sometimes his eyes would close. Always afraid I can’t find a safe place but I guess I do. Ideally my safe place would be my home. Hasn’t happened yet. I’d like to believe in the yet part.

Fun

I did this while steaming my face before bed, I wouldn’t say it was particularly sleep evoking because it sort of gets your imagination going. But it was really fun I would recommend doing this in the benign but maybe not for sleeping. Overall I would recommend

Beneficial

This was one of the more beneficial meditations that I have done. Unsure at first exactly what my "safe place" was I quickly brought to mind a familiar, comfortable, safe spot. Now I can bring up the image of it and the feeling of being there when I need to.

My porch

I really enjoyed this one. I believe in the power of photographs in the mind. I like the thought of adding my porch, where I feel so calm, to my mental photo album.

First day of feeling better.

Solid sleep and letting my mind rest is going towards something better.

Relaax

Feel yourself in the safest place in the world you know... I was thinking about laying in the beach 🏖 Listening to the sea ... feeling sunshine on my skin... Try to assume yourself there... Feel relax...

Safe Place

I felt a lot better after doing this meditation it really helped me reconnect and relax more knowing, I was safe in and outside of my imagination.

Safe place

I’ve been feeling sad today. But I felt this meditation helped redirect my mindset to the positive that is all around me.

Down

I learned that no matter what life throws at us we have always have the will power to change things no matter what the circumstances are and how hard they seem to be just one step at a time.

Repeat

Letting the words “I am enough” wash over me relaxes my shoulders. I could listen to this multiple times a day. It is one of the best stress relievers.

Safe

I learnt that you can find a find a place where you can feel safe and comfortable with and while there you can block out all the negativity in your life just by relaxing and enjoying your own time

Safe

I learnt that you can find a find a place where you can feel safe and comfortable with and while there you can block out all the negativity in your life just by relaxing and enjoying your own time

Safe space

I felt safer and I noticed my body remembered my safe space I use to practice perhaps I should make a new one!

Safe

Easily one of the best meditations on here I’ve used so far, so calming and opens your mind up and refreshes you. Gives you a sense that even when life seems dull and down you can resort to your happy, safe place no matter time or place.

How I felt today

I felt stressed and sort of anxious for some reason. Also I felt alone and dizzy today.

Relaxation

Tending the muscles first is a great way to really feel the release of tension. I had never thought of it before.

Protected

This is one of the most helpful meditations I’ve come across on Aura, because I now know how to calm myself down using my sage space. The safe space made me feel very protected.

body love

I noticed how happy I was because my body is strong and healthy. I felt this while relaxing all my muscles and suddenly understood what a blessing it is to have a body

Prayer garden

When I need to let go of tension and stress, I visualize the prayer garden at my church. I feel the grass on the bottoms of my feet. I hear the water cascading from the fountains. I see a mural of Jesus herding his flock. For the moment, my body relaxes and a smile spreads across my face. I feel safe.

Relaxing...

This was a great 7 min meditation!! I found I actually have several safe spaces but most of them involve the beach by the ocean... with the sun shining - giving everything a warm dreamy, glittery glow. The salty air breeze gently blowing enough that the seagulls float effortlessly & endlessly on it as they face the sea secretly looking for lunch but appearing non interested in anything. The musical melody of the waves draws me to them like a huge magnet. As I sit where the water laps at the sand, feeling wave after wave, each different yet the same, I realize I am home... Safely back to where I belong... where I came from and where I long to return... in due time! But for now, this fleeting lifetime of moments sewn together into days, I can return in my mind to this place, this safe space and regenerate my soul in the waves of my imagination... Thank you Aura! ❤️☮️🍀

Too much

I’m distracted by my thoughts. I have too many of them at once and it is overwhelming.

session 3 on 9/14

I don't feel much different, but now I know I can go to that safe space when i'm overwhelmed.

Safe space

After this meditation I realized I have a few safe spaces. My favorite chair in my bedroom at home. My recovery group. Anywhere my sponser is. My friend Toms’s home. So many more.

Momma

Well i knew I love my mommaaa she is the best evererrrrr!!! Everybody my mom is the best better than the rest😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Safe Space

I was reminded of my connection to my childhood home and food. Definitely a source of comfort as well as an on-going struggle.

A safe space

I have come to the learn the importance of a safe space and how vital it can be to have one when your mind is a bad place to be. I loved this meditation, it really helped me to centre myself and find my safe space.

safe space

i didn’t like it, i got distracted 20 seconds in and it didn’t help at all

I noticed

that I became calmer as I thought about my safe place while trying to fall asleep

Relaxing

it just give me a place away from this noisy and fast world. Very very happy from this session

Today

I feel more relaxed and tired but my mind is still wandering to a million “what if’s”...

Tranquility

I learned that my safe space is a beach where I can just lay down and listen the ocean, feel the warmth of the sun and feel the sand beneath me

funny

i realised that this women mispronoundes comfortable 😂 but at the end i could sleep very peacefully 🤷🏽‍♀️

Safe Space

As I was listening to this meditation, I realized that I wanted my safe space to be wherever the lovely path in the accompanying picture led, as I have often felt safe and at peace in nature. However, it occurred to me that my home is my safe space, too. But my oldest and most reliable safe space is within, the only place I could retreat as a child of abuse. Thank you for this meditation, you have given me new insight as I had never taken the time to consider this. 🙏

Peace

I felt relaxed. Even though there were a lot of distractions around me, I focued in my breathing and was lost in the serenity of my mind.

Watering hole

I went to a wonderfully hidden watering hole in my home town it is in the middle of a creek and is wooded all around it just so peaceful and quiet. You can actually just recenter your thoughts and everything while wading in waist deep water, for a 5’2” person

Bad cut ending meditation

I find it to be unpleasant and inappropriate to cut the 7 minutes (or more) meditations in order to kind of make them turn into 3 minutes ones. I would appreciate if it could be resolved by creating true 3 minutes méditations. It is not because they are free that they had to be presented like this. Thank you!

Safe Space

It was wonderful to be reminded that we can take our favorite safe space with us or we can create it. We can return to it whenever we need to wrap ourselves in that safe feeling.

Peace

I learned that peace is in my thoughts if we throw out bad negative thoughts out of our head and think 3 times the more positive thoughts in the place of one negative thought i don’t think anything else control us after that.

Quiet and calming

Beautiful to find a quiet and peaceful place full of love. Nice

Idk

I am upset still it wasn’t long enough and I like the ones about safe places

content

choose to be more content. relax and remind yourself of the beauty of life. appreciate how amazing it all is (particularly nature)

savety

We are surrounded with many thing that distract us, like technology, to relieve that stress we must find a savety place to do some exercise with our breath to continue the dayin harmony

Wild strawberries

My safe place has wild strawberries, some in flower, some in bloom, so they have to be searched for, on a low hillside along a small creek. Namaste

Safe Space

For some reason today's meditation took me back to a mental space that was painful... I started reflecting on what I don't have...

You decide.

how we spend our time is our choice. Make concious decisions that our future self will appreciate.

mindful

I took the time to be mindful and I realized that I have more controlover my anxious thoughts by just stooping and breathing.

Safe Space

I love this meditation in particular. I believe that is simply because her voice is so joyful, so calm and pure. Hard times and high stress/anxiety is still running frantically about, in and out of the corners of my mind - in that sense, I figure I should just run alongside my difficulties as if it were a friendly marathon, rather than a competitive race - a marathon of which is hopefully headed towards success.

Safe Space

I noticed it's hard to feel safe. When I think of safe, it is me and a white tree instead of more of a place or environment.

my safe space

has trees so high, I can barely see the sky. but I can hear birds above me, although I don't know all their species I enjoy their singing. I eat red berries and I walk in a pond. i feel rays of sunshine on my skin and I hear the giggles of a child; probably my own when I was a child. i feel a breeze of fresh air, some water drops on my skin

Safe in Love

Nothing makes me feel more safe than your arms wrapped tight around me. I’ll forever have a safe space in the memory your embrace as I basked in the sunshine and the warmth of your love on a clear, but cold New Year’s Day. ❤️

Choose to Forgive

I learned that receiving forgiveness and letting go of anger is a choice and that I can either choose forgiveness or anger each day and that I want to choose to forgive.

safe space

I need to escape to my safe space when I'm feeling stressed. it helps me recharge and take on whatever comes my way.

Safe space

I learned that I need to go to my safe space throughout my day more and it will helped me get calm in stressful situations at work and get re focused and centered. It was very refreshing doing this mediation after a long day at work. I really enjoyed this mediation and it’s a great reminder for all of us to have a safe space and go to it throughout our day. 🥰

Safe space

JAI Thai kickboxing gym. A medium sized room with not very high ceilings, a small reception desk, a space covered in mats to work out, adjacent to another (slightly bigger space) to workout. Punching bags lining the divide between the two spaces, a small-medium boxing ring in the far left corner of the room, a space next to the bigger workout area where you can stretch; shelves lined with boxing gloves and Thai pads, a women’s changing room next to that. Black mats, white walls and a large window overlooking the city that lets in a nice breeze. Two walls covered in mirrors, the smell of sweat circulating the air and big buff people walking around, some of them familiar, greeting you. My safe place.

Peace and safety

In a safe place I feel my guards I didn’t realize I had coming down. Namaste

I felt so peaceful in my safe space, i forgotten all my pain and anxiety

I learned that I just have to breathe and just let go of all my worries

My safe place

My safe place is in a library. Particularly my college library, but any library, really. I feel safe among the books and quiet aisles. I can explore the world, explore people without having to worry about money or anxiety. I would spend every day in a library, if I could.

Safe Space

Something I’m beginning to find the feeling of more often. I always imagine my grandmother’s house. When I imagine being there, the feelings that come to mind are, ease, acceptance, appreciation, warmth, joy, and wellbeing. Favorite feelings ♡

peace

I just love the place I chose. My grandparents house on the beach in Port Edward. Jodi and I would share a room. Everyday we would yummy food and go to the beach. That was pure innocent happiness That is my safe space I felt untouchable, safe and happy

My happy place

For my happy place I imagined this little place I sometimes walk to at night when I’m tired of feeling small or annoyed. It’s a flag pole up on a hill that’s next to my home. When you’re up there you can see just about the whole city and all the lights from this one and the next one over. It’s absolutely stunning at night with all the stars.

Relaxation

I felt like I was in a warm bath like the warm baths I take every now and then. It felt so good.

Safe space

I like the sequence, may I be well; may I be happy; may I be safe... and imagining my safe space - tonight it’s my room when I was growing up, in summer, windows open, night; cicadas quieting down, crickets and tree frogs tuning up. Hearing the high speed trolley running a few miles away ... sometimes even a train, on a line even further away than the trolley... loving all the sounds and smells, and being hot in the humid summer night, with cool sheets ...

Meditation

I noticed that this meditation helps me fall asleep faster, relaxed and stay asleep

Safe Space

This helped me relax, and prepared me for sleep. Her voice is also very calming.

Safe space

I felt so comfy and calm, I’ve learned that a safe place is a place you can go to relax.

Safe

I felt like no ones around and all is well feeling like everything is right

Day 29

I imagined my safe space as someplace I hope to be as well as a state I hope to be in... content and anxious for nothing

I noticed

I do not focus a lot on my breathing and it really levels out my body when i only focus on one task.

Joy

As I was looking for my Safe Space, I found my grandparents home, back in Necochea, which brought me hundreds of memories from my childhood

Sunday morning

It’s always difficult meditating when I first wake up as I’m so stiff from sleep. Hopefully with practice this becomes habit

Safe Space

As always, with visualizations I have trouble creating a space and then inhabiting it. I get caught up in the details of the visualization and spend the entire deciding on my design. On the plus side, this single minded concentration does get my thoughts out of any kind of negative loop I might have been in!😜

safe

my bed is my safety zone, so l was happy to hear this record while l am already setting on it💕💖

Safe

I learned to remember My safe space and think about it whenever I feel unsettled or unsafe

Love it

I learned that finding a safe place that I can let my mind be free is a great way to deal with school and work stress.

Safety

I learned that my safe space may not always be what I originally think, but what I need, in the end. Sometimes I just need to take a break, sit back, and return to my safe space.

Safe space

I felt at ease. I felt like I was sitting in a forest and just releasing all the bad energy that’s inside of me.

Safe space

Going to my safe space gave me a much needed time out from the monkey mind. I felt more at ease

16/06/19

I felt calm and at ease as I retreated into the safe space in my mind. It was a relaxing and rewarding break from the stresses of everyday life.

08/07/19

I felt calm and reassured by the existence of my safe space, in real life and in my mind. It was comforting to be able to retreat into that familiar memory as a reminder of the inner calmness I can find within myself.

SPOT ON!

This meditation IS what I need. First, there is an area on my land. Second, an island in the Pacific (4,000-6,000 miles from “civilization” These Safe Places are my SANCTUARY! GOD BLESS YOU! ❤️😇🙏

When my family gets on me for having certain disorders which mainly most of them don’t understand.

I know in my heart that trough my beliefs that everything will be alright no matter what hurtful words come out of their mouths. My biggest gratitude is my child and truer friends. I love my family but most all of them are super judge mental . This program has helped me develope coping skills that are such a support.

Safe

This morning, I found this meditation necessary. I have a racing mind, and my body feels like it doesn’t want to calm down. In this meditation, I was able to find that safe space, a place that allows me to slow down, and just enjoy life. The image of a beach on Britain’s coast, surrounded by beautiful cliffs giving a sense of privacy.

Focus on being safe & happy

Uncertain

I need to stay positive and believe everything comes at the right time.

Safe Place

Finding my safe place really helps. Closing my eyes and focusing on Lydia’s voice is extremely calming.

Serenity

Instantly, I was transported not only into another land, but another time and world. My racing emotions slowed with each breath I took as relief flooded my senses. Compared to the forest and river I was imagining, everything felt so small, as if it didn’t matter. Additionally, I felt as though I was not just in the forest, but part of it.

safe place

My safe place was my grandparents porch swing. As a child, I always felt safe there. Sitting in the summer warmth swinging and hearing it creak. Sitting with my grandma as she smoked a cigarette, it was such a cozy, safe, familiar place to me.

Safe place

I learned that my safe place is right here in my back yard home is where the heart is.

Safe space

I was shocked when the first thing that came to mind was my French teacher’s room as school is very stressful.

Sade space

Jag lärde mig att jag lättare kan nå mitt safe space om jag även kan föreställa mig ljud och lukt

Safe space

I realized I have multiple safe spaces and I can go to those places mentally when I cannot physically

Soothing during fireworks

A festival opening was happening just across the street and the constant fireworks and passing/honking cars were triggering anxiety. Putting my headphones on and playing this while doing 4-6-8 breathing really helped!

Safe Space

I learned that it’s okay to take time for oneself. I feel a little better after this session. It’s okay to focus on yourself.

This made me feel relaxed

Sometimes you just have to breathe and think about something happy/ your safe space so you can calm down and cool your emotions

connection

my sister is totally for meditation. it takes me a second to become vulnerable enough to let myself be that mindful. it’s almost like i see my own truth. almost like i already admitted to needed some relief and got it. love it. fearlessly.

Was just feeling sad this evening and this made focus on why and how.

What I was truly feeling was disappointment and letting go.

Deep Sleep

I can sleep if I just try I felt the air around me and breathed deeply into my lungs I felt my heart beat and I fell asleep.

i love the women who guide me but i am not comfortable with men... than yiou ♥️🙏♥️

i love this meditation. i am at home with my dogs and on my bed and i feel safe. thank you so much.

1

Horse in the green steps. Made me happy and then I thought if I was there I’d be trying to rush knowing I had things I had to be doing

Safe Space

My safe place has always been in my happy place at the beach under a tree, the taste of salt on my lips, the sun and wind caressing my face, the endless rush and ebb of the waves, the soft sand under my feet. I usually bring this safe place in crowded areas or difficult encounters. It’s a great way of keeping me balanced, fortifying my energy, and appreciating my self worth.

i feel calmed

i learned i feel safe with my friends and that to think of them when i need to clam

i feel calmed

i learned i feel safe with my friends and that to think of them when i need to clam

Safe space

Think about a place in which you feel safe, comfortable -at ease. Hold that image in your mind; can you smell it? Can you taste it? Does it bring you joy? Hold that image; feel yourself smiling and just understand that there’s no place like home, because home is where and what you are to your soul. Feed your soul with optimism. It might be hard most of the times, but it’s always good to keep trying over and over again, for the sake of your peace of mind, spirit, and soul.

I felt peace warm safe but felt the my safe place is a person and a place

I Learn to take a moment and breathe to close my eyes and think of me first

Entry 2:

I noticed that I was very calm and relaxed; it felt almost the same as a relaxing high. I could also tell that while listening to the tape I would get distracted in my own thoughts.. I guess we’ll see if that improves over time.

Safe place

I really love do this, makes me be in peace and more comfortable with myself

Helped a lot with being stressed

For some reason on Sunday night I couldn’t stop crying over school.I have a spring project to do as well I’m worried about that,even though I have until the week before Easter.This made me feel safe and more relaxed not thinking about things like school.

Safe Space

My safe space sadly was in my ex boyfriend’s arms 😭💔 And the breakup and him moving on is why I’m sad so that did not help me

My safe space was with my two kids in my arms. My baby girl passed away recently. That is still my

Safe space . It is just now incomplete . I am sad, very, very sad.

Safe

I’ve had a stressful day today, with our country going into lockdown with the current virus going around. I didn’t feel like meditating today. I just felt like being useless because that’s how I felt. It’s now 11:25pm. I’m glad I decided to meditate, even if it was only for a few minutes. This guided meditation reminded me of my safe place, even if I don’t feel so safe right now. I will use this one more often.

Reconnections

I’ve had life problems recently of my own not including the obvious world stress. But my own life problems that have been really mixed this week in a bad way. For some good reason, I forgot all of my problems and actually imagined myself in my safe space. And just forgot all of what bad in reality. And it made me feel good and okay. Thank you.

The World As We Know It

This world. People not taking any of this seriously. Numbers rising. People dying. It is scary and I am worried for me and my family and friends and humanity as a whole. We need Jesus.

Relaxed, lots of feelings/emotions. Thoughts galore

Lots of thoughts, very relaxing. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s meditation

Meditation - Mindfulness

I felt that it was the most effective mindfulness meditation I had done. Very relaxing and very soothing voice.

Learning slowly

I learned that it is okay to want to feel safe. To let myself be.

Being safe

I’ve learned over the years with panic and anxiety my only real safe space/place/ person is truly myself. I love being able to escape in my mind exploring different places. Tonight I was standing under a big cherry blossom tree. With petals falling all around and the smell of sweetness in the air.

Safe space

There's only one of two places that seem to be similar to each other one of which is yellow springs surrounded by no people except for nature the sunlight running water and my thoughts the second place is heaven there is not any other place I'd rather be than those two locations

Lovely feelings

This practice helped me to become very clear-minded. The sound effects in the background certainly helped.

Less=More

This weekend my wife and I enjoyed hours of watching “Living Big in Tiny Houses” and “The Minimalists” on Youtube and Netflix. We noticed when one lives with less there is a capability for more. Funny, right? Less=more? I am a spender, and I like things, but watching short documentaries on minimalism remind me that no matter how many things I have, they will not bring true happiness. It’s those tiny cozy spaces and small things that mean the most. They ate the things that bring us true joy that matter. I also just read a story of scripture, in which two armies are fighting. One is fighting “like dragons” for their lives, and the other is fighting for their homes, their liberties, their wives, their children, and their rites to worship. Those that were more concerned about fighting for happiness and joy and for their loved ones, instead of the army that only fought for their lives like dragons, won the battle and drove them back. (The Book of Mormon; Alma 43) I learned this weekend that we are to love people, and use things, because the opposite never works. We must also fight against negativity and opposition with a constant focus on those around because we love and care about them. We care about them so much that we are willing to do anything for them! Have a great day and a blessed week! It’s in YOUR power to do so!🌲💪🌱🔜🌳

Childhood bed

I imagined my childhood bed as my safe space, and was amazed by how comforting it was to visualize being there.

Lessons.

I learnt that I need to take some time out to reconnect in a safe space.

I’m more afraid than I want to admit.

I’m scared about the future. I have no home. My life this year is in transition. And I’ve put it all on the line by working for my best friend. Covid has made it hard to not take irritations personally.

Safe place

I now have a place to go when my pain gets intolerable. I as able to visualize this safe place.

Beach

Lyndi guides you to visualize a place where you feel safe and comfortable. The beach was a place that came to my mind this morning. It is a cloudy morning, I am sitting in the cool sand looking out into the ocean. I inhale the salty ocean air while feeling a cool breeze on my skin. I repeat the following affirmations: May I feel well. May I feel happy. A feeling of all is well washes over me. I am feeling peaceful. I can visit this place anytime I feel I need a break.

I feel a little better today can breathe easier

I learned that above all else I am a successful artist and it is important to me. I am also a mother and that is extremely important to me as well

Safe space

I understand that I need to pause and take a breath when I feet overwhelmed ,it helps

Complete tranquility

I was completely transcended into a world filled with nature and beauty. My mind body and spirit was submerged in total calm and peace. This elevated me and restored my somewhat racing mind filled with anxious thoughts to a place of safety and tranquility. Thank you 🙏🏻 😊

I felt confused and sad.

I was able to visualize a place on the ocean where I felt safe! I am excited knowing I am Ok my way!!

Safe Space

This loving kindness for self was just right for me today. Perfect for before bed.

Going forward

Baby steps trying to move on. Very difficult. So much hurt and sadness. Feel powerless and played. Ego hurts and inner child cries in longing for the better moments but they’re all ruined. Grief for those beautiful lost moments that are now bitter

Safe Space

Remember that place where you felt safe. Fill your mind with those feelings. Affirm that you are safe and happy. Remember that your mind can return there as often as you need

Peace

I needed this for the longest time. I cried once it started. I wanted to feel safe and at peace with myself for at least a moment. My journey is long but I’m trying.
