Let's take a moment to appreciate
the things that have been
happening in your life recently.
Today's theme is appreciating
places of refuge.
As always, if you would like
to journal along, you can pause
after each prompt to give yourself
more time to write and reflect.
First, let's take a deep breath in.
And out.
Sometimes it can be difficult
to experience a sense of true
safety and calm in our days.
Our weeks can be full of
challenges and obstacles.
We read headlines and feel uncertain.
We come home tired and are often
faced with more tasks and demands
on our time and attention.
That's why finding a place
of refuge can be such a balm.
These are places where we can fully relax,
where we feel calm and held, where we
can be ourselves in an unguarded way.
Think of a place that has felt
like a true refuge to you.
It could be in your home, in a favorite
park, or in a place you like to visit.
Where is this refuge?
Take a moment to name and
appreciate the details.
What about this place makes
you feel safe and relaxed?
When do you go to this place?
Are there other people there, a favorite
pet, or do you prefer to be alone?
When you leave this refuge, how
do you feel in your mind and body?
Now with this in mind,
repeat the following phrases:
Thank you for this place I can go to
be myself, to let go of the worries of
the day and renew my sense of peace.
Thank you for the safety
I feel in this place.
Thank you for the beauty I
notice and feel in these moments.
Thank you for the reminder that it's
good to take time for restoration.
To end this session, let's
take a deep breath in.
And out.
We'll see you back here tomorrow
for another gratitude practice.

Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.

Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.
- Kirtus
I love how the app gives me pointers to new things to explore.
- Lydia
So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!
- EJ
Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.
- Gina, Plus+ Member
I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.
- Babi
You get a lot of useful tips for handling stress and anxiety in 'real life'.
- Joy
Highly recommend.

Kelly Boys is hands down the best. Everytime I click on one of her guided meditations I get excited for the calmness that lies ahead.
