Safety of Spaces to Open Your Heart

What do you think of as a safe space? Do you have one? One that's truly safe?

It's important to know that you have a way to make yourself feel 100% safe. A respite when you need it. Does a person pop into mind? Or a special place?

Today, the intention is to check in with yourself to see if that space is truly safe for you. Is it actually safe? Or are you just hoping that it is? What would you do if that space turns out to not be so safe? Would it be devastating? Or, could you handle it and move on?

More than the space being 100% safe (Because honestly that would be impossible) It's about how you feel. Checking in to see if you're placing hopes and dreams on things instead of seeing the reality. If you're able to feel truly safe because you trust yourself to handle the situation - that's when you'll be able to feel safe to open your heart.

My story:

I started going to women's circles, cuddle parties and tantra classes in 2016. A lot of people see Tantra or cuddle parties as a sexual thing. But these spaces were not about sex for me. These spaces helped me to learn how to understand my own boundaries, helped me practice saying Yes or No when I wanted to, and helped me learn how to create a safe space.

Working with strangers - and keeping them that way - helped me to not bring any hopes or fears about this other person into the moment. And having a set end time on these events created a space where I could let go of worrying about each step, and allowed me to be really honest and feel seen and heard. I was able to relax and enjoy time in the presence of other people without worrying about where it would lead or if it should...
