Similar to the container exercise, the Safe/Calm/Healing Place practice lets you imagine ahead of time a felt-sense of safety and control, then return to it as needed. 

1. Find a comfortable and quiet space where you can relax and concentrate without any distractions.
2. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to help you relax.
3. Imagine a place where you feel safe, calm, and relaxed. It can be a real place you've been to or a place you create in your mind.
4. Focus on the details of your safe place – the colors, sounds, smells, and textures that make this place so comforting and soothing.
5. Concentrate on the pleasant sensations in your body, or use the Butterfly Hug while meditating on your safe or calm place. 
6. Choose a cue word to associate with your safe place. This word will help you quickly bring up the feelings of calm and safety associated with your safe place.
7. Think of the cue word and notice the positive feelings you have. 
8. To test the effectiveness of this resource, think about a slightly disturbing event – something minor that caused you discomfort or stress.
9. Bring up your safe/calm place in your mind and notice any shifts in your body. 

Practice this exercise regularly to help you build a strong connection to your safe place and promote relaxation and healing.
