An exercise for emotional support, especially for feelings of anxiety
1. sit comfortably and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths in and out of your belly. Relax one body: your legs, your arms, your face.
2. imagine a place where you feel absolutely safe and comfortable. This can be a real place, like your favorite place in nature, or a fantasy place that you make up.
3. think about how this place looks, smells, sounds and feels. Perhaps you hear birdsong, feel the warm sand under your feet or smell fresh flowers.
4. stay in this imagination for a few minutes. Enjoy your safe place. Perhaps you can feel your body relaxing further.
5. when you are ready, slowly open your eyes and come back to the here and now.
If you like, record your safe place by drawing it or memorize a certain gesture that can remind you of your safe place.
This exercise can help you to calm down again in stressful or frightening moments, because you always have your safe place with you.
