Let’s do the I am safe exercise. There is an energy channel, a meridian, in the midline of the body on the front and the back. The front line is called the conception vessel. Now, that’s also a line of hypnosis, so anything we say while we’re touching or tracing this line with our hands, infuses that energy into our cells and every part of our being. This exercise is called ‘I am safe” because that’s what we’ll be doing.
It’s a great way to help our nervous systems shift into a state of safety so we can do our healing work, integration, transcendence, you name it.
We’re going to start at the beginning of that meridian, above the pubic bone. Technically it starts below that, but we’re starting right above the pubic bone in the soft tissue. We’re going to trace hand-over-hand through the midline of the body until we get right here … aand Ill show you want to do
We are going to be repeating: “I am safe.”
“I am safe… I am safe… I am safe… “
Soft over the throat tissues.
We’re going to end here.
We’re going to come right into the soft tissue under the chin with our thumb, and then this part of our index finger is going to go here.
Whichever hand you end with when you get to the chin area, you’re going to take the other hand and rub here: “I am safe”
I’m also going to touch the top of my head: “I am safe,”
squeeze the back of my neck on either side where my head meets my neck: “I am safe”
And then touch right in the mid-line where my head and neck meet: “I am safe.”
That’s our “I am safe” exercise.

When you’re doing your “I am Safe” exercise, in the morning or during the day, there is a little trick that Donna Eden teaches that you can connect into that energy anytime you need a little boost,
Without having to do the whole “I am Safe” thing again
This is really handy because it’s fast, you can do it in public, and nobody knows what you’re doing
All you need to do, Is called a “Zip Up.”
Put your finger in your belly button, and your hand will go back where it finishes in the “I am safe” exercise, and you just “zip it up.”
I visualize all the energy going “voop!” and getting back into the central core of “I am safe.”
And that’s it!

I have another wonderful exercise for you. This is called “Connecting Heaven and Earth.”
After I do the “I am Safe” Exercise, I will often “Connect Heaven and Earth.”
So this is me, setting the template in my body, and waking up the energy frequency that I am an intermediary, a bridge or a gateway, between heaven and earth.
We humans are really special because we are fully material (matter) and we are also fully spirit (spiritual, what’s unseen) and we are the connection between those two polarities. And it’s my belief that that’s the highest expression of individuals and humanity – is when we all tune into the present moment while being a gateway for those two things to exist at the same time.
Part of the spiritual path, the healing path, the hero’s journey – is spiritual ascension with embodiment, and honoring those two parts of ourselves and bringing them into union within us.
This is a great way to honor that and to practice working those pathways while we’re on the path. It’s another part of my morning spiritual hygiene routine.
So I’ll do the I am safe exercise and then I’ll connect heaven and hearth, (this is based on
Donna Eden’s energy medicine exercises)…
I’ll connect heaven and earth.. So I’ll put one flat, facing the earth, and one hand up facing the sky, and I am in the middle. And when I’m in this position, I’ll typically breathing something in that I want to bring into my reality, and I’ll exhale something out that I want to have leave my reality; or that I’m completing my work with that energy.
In the beginning when I was doing this, I typically said, “I am breathing in God, I am breathing out self-Doubt.”
I also have said, “I am one with the Light of God, aand the Light of God is within me.”
So we can mix this up, but generally we can use that inhale to bring something in, to invite in; and that exhale to let something go.
*Perform on both sides, right and life, connecting heaven and earth through me (and you!)
