Exploring the Felt Sense of Safety in the Body

Recording and questions to go with Session 4 of 'Free to Be Me' (as per the pdf emailed directly)

Questions to contemplate following the bodyscan:

Does the sensation have a colour?

Does it have a shape?

What about a texture?

Or an edge quality?

Does it have clear boundaries or are they more hazy?

Might it be warm or cold or hot or freezing?

Do any images or words or sounds or phrases float up?

If you wish to do so you might like to create an image using your art materials, then contemplate it and give it a title.

Anchoring in this ‘felt sense’ with self touch:

Explore: What happens if you place your hand (or hands) on the part of the body where you felt the ‘felt sense’ of safety (or whatever word you used for this)?

How does this feel?

Experiment with this eg one vs both hands, hands next to each other or on top of each other, one hand on the part other hand somewhere else.
