For me this is a place I have created inside my head. A vast wilderness peopled with animals and spirits who are my friends. When I need safety I go there. My guides there speak the caring things I'm trying to.learn to say to myself. Maybe this only works because I am a writer and am good at imagining things. But to me its a real safe place that I can retreat to in meditation where I am known and loved and wanted. Building it has been a slow process but worthwhile. Eventually I hope I can carry thesense of safety I find there into my regular life
