Connecting with Safety helps us connect with Self-Compassion
The Cave of Safety provides a safe, and protected place to connect with our Wise Old Self. A place where we can receive whatever we need in any given moment. Through this practice we connect with the belief that we can get through difficulties and intense challenges. In addition, this safe space allows us to a place to both give and receive unconditional love and compassion. Giving this to ourselves is strengthening and empowering.
Spending time in the Cave of Safety, increases our connection with ourselves, our connection with the belief we can get through things, and our ability to create safety and love for ourselves.
