What images give you a sense of safety and protection in the midst of fearful thoughts?
I imagine angels in the sky and lions at my feet. You: What images shift you from fear to safety?

Thriving Under Pressure 
Anything to do with water relaxes me enough to remember that at all times I am loved and protected by unseen forces (guardian angels, God, deceased relatives, even souls I may not have known in this lifetime.) And when that doesn’t work for me, I sing “The Our Father” in my mind. Singing really works for me because it takes effort to get the words right, which takes the mind in a different direction. ❤
How beautiful Alexis! Just reading about your practices shifted me to a place of peace.🍃
That is so nice to hear! Thank you! You just made my day! ❤
Awesome! Best part of blogging = connecting. 💫
Nature- the trees, plants, soil, sunshine, air. Nothing relaxes me more than nature. Also, I hate to admit that sweets helps me get through a lot in life.
Thank you for the calming images. I’m imagining the most beautiful sunrise, crisp fall leaves, and abundant fresh air as I type this. Nature heals.. and so does the sweetness of life.. in all forms. Healing x 2! 🍂🌿🍒
I imagine being as the tree – strong and rooted while at the same time able to bend with the breezes and reach high into the sky.
Incredible image VJ. Just reading your description made me take a long deep breath. Strong and flexible. The epitome of resilience.🌴🌾
That’s a really great question. Let’s see…
Rich colors in general
Woods
Being held, like a mother holding a child
Two people holding hands
Running! (I’m a runner)
Being enfolded in a blanket.
I really appreciate this question, Andrea. It helped me to see more about what helps me to feel safe, and maybe possible actions to take for myself. Good awareness.
Many blessings to you,
Debbie
Love your imagery Debbie. Especially the running! I’m a runner too. An empowering habit passed on by my parents at a very young age. I am so much better for it. The ultimate release!👟👟
Oh that is great Andrea! How cool is that? I’m with you … running is such a good release (plus it’s fun and brings out my sense of play). Many blessings – run onward!! 🙂
