Do you have a safe place or happy place in your mind? Its somewhere to go to when things become overwhelming. Such imaginary places make me think of online spaces set up for various gaming. What does the farm or city look like as it is developed? A mind space holds many similarities. I find going to such a space trickier than emptying the mind as part of meditation. Neither is easy, but practice should help to find that space to be still.
When what goes on around a person becomes too frenetic, the ability to find a calm spot in one's mind can help get through the situations. Each of us needs to find our own way through the sink holes along life's road. Building an imaginary spot to feel safe and sound should help. Practice accessing the space will make it easier to find when needed most. The mind is an amazing thing, filled with powerful ways to impact daily existence. Interestingly, it can be trained to work for us rather than against us. Like anything in life worth having, this does require a fair amount of work.
Finding a song brought many different themes to mind. I settled on a song with lyrics that discuss the power we each have inside to manage negative situations. Enjoy!
The Voice Within -- Christina Aguilera
