Somatic Safety Meditation

Welcome to this somatic safety meditation.

The aim of this meditation is to get yourself familiar with feeling safe in your own body.

This meditation will help you if you tend to disassociate from your body,

If you deal with anxiety or if you simply don't feel safe.

I'd like to invite you to first make yourself as comfortable as possible.

You can lie down,

Sit or even walk.

See what makes sense for your body.

Once you've found a comfortable position,

I invite you to look around,

To observe your surroundings and make any necessary adjustments.

Notice if there is a specific smell lingering around or any sound.

Just observe the environment around you for a while.

Now notice how it feels to be in your body,

In your entire body.

Feel the surface that supports you.

Perhaps you feel the bed beneath you,

Supporting your whole body,

The chair supporting your back or the ground supporting your feet.

Notice the different supports provided to your body and bring all your attention to them.

Observe how it feels to be supported and let yourself sink a little bit more.

Notice how it is to feel relaxed in your body.

Notice how it feels to be safe in your own body.

I'd like to invite you to repeat after me a couple of affirmations while noticing how your body responds to them.

It is safe to be comfortable.

It is safe to be supported.

It is safe to be in this moment.

It is safe to take a deep breath.

It is safe to close my eyes.

It is safe to be here.

It is safe to be in my body.

It is safe to be.

It is safe to be safe.

Taking your time to observe how your body responds to these affirmations.

When you are ready,

I'd like to invite you to slowly bring some movement into your body,

Perhaps moving your feet,

Your hands,

Your shoulders.

And when you're ready,

You can open your eyes and observe once again your environment,

Noticing how it feels to be there,

Noticing if something changed and noticing how it is to be in your body.

I wish you a beautiful day.

I see you next time.
