Finding Real Safety Meditation

Namaste Beauties and welcome back to our Practical Enlightenment Meditation, where our specific meditation today is Finding Real Safety. In the world, as we know, there’s so much going on, that is beyond our control. Things are constantly shifting and moving around and there’s unrest in many different ways. If we keep looking and examining, we will definitely find it, whether it be political or environmental or shifts in your, um, smaller circle as well. Of course, neighbors, friends, colleagues, whatever it is.

If we are constantly trying to attach our sense of safety and security to the outside world, to something external beyond us, then we will constantly feel frustrated and confused. And also a lot of fear because the outside world is unreliable and we’re not going to really find real safety there. So where are we supposed to go to find safety insecurity? The answer is deeper within ourselves.

Inside of us, we carry a portable connection to spirit, to the true self. And that is what is going to get us through any trying time. That is what we bring to any situation so that no matter what’s going on in our lives, we can find real safety and security on the inside. And so I encourage you to practice this meditation.

If you’re going through a period where things feel unstable in your life, or you just feel emotionally or mentally unstable, or you just need a little bit more support, it can be a great aid during different periods that you may go through in your life.

Let’s get started.

Guided Meditation

Go ahead and find your comfortable meditation seat. It can be on the floor, your hips elevated on the cushion, or it can be in a chair with your feet. Nice and flat on the ground. Just get into your seat, close your eyes.

Take a couple of nice deep breaths in and out through your nose.

Placing your hands on your knees or your thighs palms facing down. Go ahead and sway to the left. So then your right buttock lifts up your right hip lifts up, and then go ahead and sway over to the other side to the right left hip left, buttock lifts up, and then just keep going with this little swaying motion.

It can be a little bit faster if you’re feeling a lot of internal restlessness or activity, or it can be nice and slow and even, but just this nice gentle rocking back and forth side to side right side and the left side, the right side and the left side. And then finally, after a couple more rounds can come into stillness, common to your center.

As you move towards center and find that nice place of stillness really feel that inner stability and that strength of your spine. Feel the weight of your hips, your sacrum pressed down into the earth and then feel that beautiful lift of your spine.

You can move around just a little bit more until it feels really centered and your shoulders feel relaxed and your chin is nice and parallel with the ground.

Then take a nice, full, deep breath in all the way through your nose.

And then with lungs full, gently pause at the top, and then exhale all the way out with lungs. Empty pause there for a moment, then lift all the way up, inhale, filling the lungs, filling the belly with prana, and then exhale, pause when the lungs are empty.

And again, inhale nice and full, nice and slowly, and then pause at the top with the lungs full and exhale.

And then pause at the bottom of the lungs empty.

One more time inhaling, pause with the lungs full, and then I slow exhale, pause of the lungs empty.

Now keep this nice regular breath pattern going in now nice and evenly, nice and smoothly, and stay connected to the strength of your spine and your beautiful posture lifted up and solidly.

Setting the Intention for Today

Let’s start to introduce our intention. You can say it silently to yourself. You can just listen.

I Am safe and secure on the inside and I can deal with anything on the outside.

I Am safe and secure on the inside and I can deal with anything on the outside.

I Am safe and secure on the inside and I can deal with anything on the outside.

I Am safe and secure on the inside and I can deal with anything on the outside.

I Am safe and secure on the inside and I can deal with anything on the outside.

I Am safe and secure on the inside and I can deal with anything on the outside.

Let me just take a moment now to let that integrate moment of silence. Just focusing on your breath now.

Now coming back in, if you’d like to stay longer here, you can just let this recording run out and stay in your meditation. Otherwise, go ahead and bring your hands together into prayer position, to Anjali Mudra, in front of your heart.

Let’s take a moment for gratitude. See what spontaneously rises up in your heart. I am so grateful for this journey for our connection.

So grateful for our practice and sending you so much love,

Om shanti om. Peace and love. Namaste.
