This practice looks for a sense of safety in the body. It draws on the idea that each of us has a memory, somewhere, of a safe place where we feel at ease, balanced, and welcome to take refuge, and that this memory can be felt in the body. We might notice a sense of safety in the belly, the heart or the hands, for example.
Sean Fargo, founder of Mindfulness Exercises, guides a meditation on sensing into safety. The practice begins with an invitation to check in and observe how the body is feeling in this present moment, including any part that is holding on or tightening. Sean then invites you to notice where in the body a sense of safety is felt and to rest your attention there. As in the recording, you can practice with your eyes open, closed, or looking downward. It ends by noticing what has changed in the body and mind and how to carry that into the rest of your day.
