5 Ways to Cultivate an Internal Sense of Safety

1: Heart Coherence Breathing - Breathe in through your nose for a count of 5 and out through your mouth for a count of five with the intention of sending the breath and calming coherent energy into the heart space.

2: Self-Hug - I like to place my right hand on my left shoulder and tuck my left hand under my right arm, creating a safe, cozy "container" for myself.

3: Comfort Items - A favorite blanket, piece of clothing, or pocket-sized object that has a soothing or comforting quality to remind you that you are safe and loved.

4: Music or Nature Sounds - Music that has calming or uplifting qualities or soothing nature sounds like birds or water. (My personal favorite is listening to birds because songbirds won't sing unless they feel safe. 😊)

5: Breath Prayers or Truth Focus Statements - Choose a simple prayer or statement to help focus your mind and heart as you take slow, even breaths. Two of my favorites are:

"The Lord is my shepherd. I lack nothing."
AND
"I will not be afraid, for You are with me. You are right beside me, and I am safe."

Freedom: The absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action.

What does this have to do with health and wellness?

Plenty! I don’t know how many times I’ve heard people say, “I’d like to try that, but insurance won’t pay for it.” I hear folks complain all the time about not getting the care they need and desire, and it’s almost always because their insurance only covers standard allopathic medical care.
​
On one hand, it just makes me sad that so many people are missing out on care that could actually help them feel better and heal. On the other hand, I just want to shake people up and tell them to wake up to the fact that they don’t have to be coerced or constrained in their health choices!
​
If you believe that working with a specific practitioner or pursuing a particular modality is the best choice for you, then step out in faith, trusting that the necessary resources can and will be provided. Stop accepting “NO” as an answer and declare your independence from the whims, constraints, and coercion of the current medical/insurance industry! Do what you believe is right for YOU, not what someone sitting in an office crunching numbers has determined is right for the masses.
​
In the Gospel of Matthew, there is a simple but powerful principle that we would do well to apply: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”

If you want different outcomes than you're currently getting, then ask, seek, knock, and trust. Declare your freedom to choose the care that best aligns with your values and beliefs!

Do you ever feel stuck?

Do you ever feel like you're doing everything "right," but you still don't feel well?

Maybe you're constantly researching, eating clean, taking all the "best" supplements, following strict protocols, trying to think "positive"...

And still, nothing seems to change.

What's missing?

Awareness: You may feel super aware. Aware of every little thing that goes into or on your body. Aware of all the things you should avoid. Aware of all the toxins, chemicals, etc. that you're exposed to.

But are you aware of your mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic state? Are you aware of how your beliefs, thoughts, and emotions are impacting you physically? Are you aware of what condition your nervous system is in?

Connection: Do you feel connected spiritually? Are you connected to the infinite, unconditional Love that created you and sustains you? Are you connected to your body in a kind and compassionate way, or are you viewing your body as the enemy? Are you connected to other people through healthy relationships? Do you feel connected to nature and the world around you, or are you living in fear of the next thing you might be exposed to?

Safety: Do you feel SAFE? Do you feel safe in your body and your environment? Do you feel safe in your relationships? Do you feel safe to communicate your wants and needs? Do you feel safe to be at rest?

Ultimately, if the subconscious mind, nervous system, and body feel UNSAFE in any way, healing and recovery are slow and difficult at best, because the body's resources are being rallied to address the threat.

To return to health, safety must be established first, and safety comes through connection.

Stop chasing symptoms and start cultivating connection. Learn what safety looks like and feels like, and how to create an internal sense of safety physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically.

Join me at Sage Wellness Center on July 17th for "Breaking Through: How to Find Healing When Nothing is Working" to learn how to take the first steps toward cultivating the connection and safety that are foundational to well-being!

Doing a Body Scan is one of my favorite practices because it brings me into the present moment and brings my awareness and attention to what is present in my physical body. That awareness of my physical body often provides clues to the mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic factors causing stress in my body. Check out the description below to learn how to do a body scan for yourself!👇

Sit in a comfortable position. Close your eyes and take slow, even breaths as you scan through the body, noticing what feels good as well as anything that feels tight, uncomfortable, or painful. I usually start with my feet, then work my way up through the calves, thighs, hips, belly, chest, shoulders, neck, and head. This is another great way to get present in the moment and notice where you are feeling sensations in the body, which can be valuable information about where you might be storing unprocessed emotions.

Many people, including myself, store a lot of their stress and emotions in their necks. Neck Circles are one of my favorite body-based techniques for helping mindfully release some of that tension!

Inhale as you gently turn your head to one side. Slowly exhale as you bring your head down through center and around to the other side. Repeat, going the opposite direction. This exercise always helps me slow down, get present in the moment, and notice what's actually going on in my body.☺️

We feel emotions as physical sensations within the body. Mindfully moving the body is just one of the ways we can help ourselves effectively process and release emotions when we notice them arising. Below are a couple of my favorite body-based techniques for emotional well-being.

Wave Breath - Take a slow, full diaphragmatic breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth. Focus on the wave-like sound and sensation of your breath and picture sending the breath to areas where you feel tension, discomfort, or pain, allowing them to gradually soften and release.

Butterfly Breath - Inhale as you gently raise your arms to about shoulder height. Exhale as you gently float your arms back to your sides. I like this movement because it feels calming and expansive.
