Sanctuary of Safety: A Somatic Practice

Practice time: 15 Minutes

This is a foundational nervous system practice that helps you cultivate a deep sense of safety. This practice is best used over time in a repeated way. In this practice you’ll be guided through a visualization of an internal sanctuary of safety. This practice is essential for getting out of fight/flight/freeze/fawn states & creating a sense of internal security.

Benefits of Practice:

• Grounding: during time of overwhelm, anxiety, or a strong emotional reaction, when you crave a calm sanctuary within yourself
• Create safety: before or after a more intensive somatic practice or emotional exploration
• Assist during life changes: to maintain a sense of security during life changes or stressors
• Increased resilience: By getting a felt-sense of a safe place where you can always return to, it will help you build resilience and calm within your body.
