Summary: <p>The strange nature of the human experience is that your thoughts and feelings aren't truth. They don't represent what is really happening in the world. They neither accurately reflect the nature of our physical reality (as Relativity and Quantum physics have proven), nor do they provide us access to the many other dimensions that make up consciousness. So until you get to the point that you look at what you think and feel as a lie, you will not progress beyond the yo-yo of feelings that probably characterizes your life right now. Until you look at your feelings -- whether the feeling is wanting control or safety, being filled with anger, fear or sadness -- as lies, you are sentenced to continue to feel them. You are sentencing yourself to this kind of a life because you continue to believe that thinking and feeling are indices of reality. As you start to let go, as you start to work on exposing the lies that you have lived with for so long to the light of day, all the beliefs and feelings that were stored start to come up to the surface so this can make progress difficult and, especially if you are in therapy, can become a huge distraction. But you can just cut to the chase. You are free. Right here and right now. But you don’t behave that way. You still do what you think. You still do what you feel. You still believe the lies so feelings and thoughts still color what you think is actually happening in your life. But you are fine right now. Happiness, peace, flourishing and a sense of purpose and fulfillment are available to you right now. And you can start becoming comfortable with this truth by building a foundation of safety and security, by acquainting yourself with the truth of your physical safety right now, in this moment. That is what this meditation is all about.</p><br><p>Note: This is a 30 minute version of the I Am Safe guided meditation.</p><br><p>As always, more important than meditation is sleep. So if you are sleepy, use this time to nap and adjust your sleep routine so that you secure sufficient sleep (normally 7-8 hours) each night so that meditation can become as powerful as possible.</p><br><hr><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> See <a style="color: grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
