02. Body Safety Self-Reflection

One of the primary roots of suffering, dis-ease and incoherent resonance is an underlying belief that you are not safe and under a chronic level of threat. Usually, this perception is associated with any type of past (including ancestral trauma) or present trauma that has not been completely resolved and/or is still playing out in real time in your body. This includes chronic underlying toxins and pathogens in your body, attacking it and creating inflammation, pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, digestive issues and/or any other kind of physical problem.  

To get the most out of this self-reflection, it is best to set the intention to refrain from any type of positive or negative judgment and be neutral in your observation. Be open and curious about what you may discover about your sense of safety relative to your body. Perhaps this may bring more compassion and mercy to support your healing journey.

This self-reflection assesses your perceived sense of safety. Being safe and perceiving that you are safe are an important part of healing. It supports the transition from the fight-or-flight state to rest-and-digest state.

  • Review Safety Knowledge to understand more about safety within all levels of your being.

 

Reflect on how safe you feel in the present moment for ~3-8 minutes 1-2x/day for the next 1-2 weeks. *Unless otherwise directed.

  • Optionally use the Body Safety Self-Reflection calculator below.
  • Log your Body Safety Self-Reflection in your journal at the bottom of the page for later reference.
  • You don’t have to do anything or change anything, this practice is focused on bringing your awareness to your sense of safety in your body.
  • Perform this self-reflection again in about 2 weeks to assess your progress and to gather any new information to continue to support you and your greatest good.
  • Optionally, use your testing technique to determine your optimal frequency and duration to use this reflection technique or  perform the Resourcing Safety Meditation.
