May you allow the love that is in your heart to first shine into your body and mind so that you feel safe and free.
That is what the meditation "I Am Safe" is about; holding the intention to keep yourself safe by way of your own loving heart.
As I walk through the current journey of my life, (Moving to the mountains) I am preparing my heart to sit in a new energy. In the past, when I have made shifts in my life, my tendency was to go full speed ahead like a train and miss out on the sacred moments of transition. My mind would be moving 100 miles a minute and my body would always need to catch up.
Before I took the long drive to South Florida from Dallas to explore another city and another style of architecture, I was running myself ragged. I was completing several projects at work, dealing with a failed relationship, and wrestling with my career after practicing for 4.5 years. I was running and dealing with so much all at once that I worked myself into one of the worst cases of the flu I can remember. My body and mind could not handle such a huge transition while dealing with all of the emotional turmoil I had pushed down into my cells and my psyche.
Although I made it to Florida safely, the deep learning in that situation when I look back on it was that I did not create a safe space for my body or mind to experience such a huge transition. At the time, I did not completely understand the congruence of the body, mind and emotion. I did not know that if one was off kilter, the other was experiencing difficulty also.
Today I am grateful for practices such as yoga, meditation, qui gong, journaling and more, that help me to slow down and nurture my mental, physical and emotional fields.
I share all of this to say that I hope this practice helps you to start or continue to foster a safe environment for yourself. I hope you can see yourself as home; a sanctuary for your own heart.
No one knows your heart better than you do and I hope this meditation helps you to affirm that even more.
Sincerely,
DeeDee
