Take a deep breath in,
And let it out.
Take another deep breath in,
And as you let it out,
Release all the events of the past day,
Week,
Month.
Take a few moments to focus on your breath.
As you inhale,
Gather in all the positive energy,
The happiness you have spread during the day.
As you exhale,
Let go of any unnecessary energy you might have picked up today.
Send it back to the universe to be recycled.
Relax,
And let every last bit of tension disappear from your muscles.
Continue breathing slowly and deeply.
If you could be anywhere in the world,
Where would you go?
Would you go to the beach,
Or the mountains?
Would you go to a forest,
Or your grandmother's kitchen?
Your sacred space can be anywhere,
Real or imagined,
In the past,
Present,
Or future.
Wherever your sacred space is,
It is somewhere that you feel completely safe,
Completely calm and comfortable.
Reach out with all your senses.
What do you smell?
What is the light like?
What sounds do you hear?
Can you taste the air?
What can you feel?
What is the temperature like?
Are there any people or animals here?
Do they make you feel secure and at ease?
These are your spirit guides,
Or your animal guides.
If you are not comfortable with them in your space,
You may politely ask them to leave.
Otherwise,
They will assist you by holding your space and protecting it.
Focus your attention directly in front of you.
What do you see?
Visualize everything in great detail.
Reach out and touch something that you see.
Can you pick it up?
What does it feel like?
Turn to your right.
What do you see now?
What colors do you see?
What can you touch in this direction?
Turn to your right again.
How has the view changed?
Are there any different smells?
Can you taste anything different in the air?
Turn to your right once more.
Now what do you see?
Is the light different from this direction?
What can you feel over here?
Walk a full circle around the perimeter of the place you have just visualized.
As you walk,
You leave behind a trail of protective energy.
You are sealing this place as yours,
And yours alone.
No one may enter,
Save by your invitation.
This is your safe place.
Nothing can harm you here,
Or on any journey you take that begins here.
Bask in the comfort of this familiar,
Protected place.
From this point forward,
Anytime you feel the need to relax,
Calm down,
Or let go,
You may come here.
Your sacred place will help ground you,
And comfort you.
It is an excellent place to begin meditations,
And it is here for you anytime you need it.
Take a deep breath in,
And let it out.
The peace and safety you have created remain within you.
Take another deep breath in,
And when you are ready,
Open your eyes and return to the room.
