Meditations
Safe Space Visualization: Safe space visualization is a mental health technique where individuals imagine a serene and secure environment to reduce stress and anxiety. By vividly engaging all senses in this imagined space, it provides a mental refuge, enhancing emotional well-being.
Container Meditation: Container meditation is a mindfulness technique where individuals visualize placing their worries and stressors into a mental container, allowing them to set aside these concerns temporarily. This practice helps in managing anxiety and promoting a sense of control and calm.
Leaves on a Stream: Leaves on the stream meditation is a mindfulness technique where individuals visualize their thoughts as leaves floating down a stream, allowing them to observe thoughts without attachment or judgment. This practice helps promote emotional detachment and mental clarity.
