Creating a sanctuary meditation

Come join us at “Creating a Sanctuary,” a soothing meditation session provided by RollingOut Universe. This meditation will guide you through the process of creating a peaceful sanctuary within your mind, a safe haven where tranquility reigns and the external chaos of the world fades away.

Welcome to the meditation of RollingOut Universe, we invite you to this session. In today’s fast-paced world, finding a personal retreat where you can escape and recharge becomes essential for maintaining balance and well-being.


Find a quiet, comfortable spot where you can sit or lie down without interruptions. Make this space as serene as possible—consider dimming the lights, playing soft, ambient music, or perhaps lighting a candle or incense. Close your eyes gently, or if it helps to maintain focus, direct your gaze softly downward.

Let’s do a countdown to tranquility


5 Inhale deeply, drawing in peace and quiet. Exhale slowly, releasing any stress or tension. With each breath, feel more relaxed and prepared to create your inner sanctuary.
4 Begin at your toes and gradually move up through your body, releasing tension from your feet, legs, torso, arms, and finally your head. As each part relaxes, imagine stress melting away, leaving you feeling light and serene.
3 Let go of any distracting thoughts or worries. Envision them as clouds drifting across the sky, floating away from your mental space. Allow your mind to become a blank slate, ready for creation.
2 Tune into the subtle sounds around you, feel the air on your skin, and acknowledge the surfaces touching your body. Become fully present in the now, grounding yourself in the physical sensations of your surroundings.
1 Silently affirm your intention to build a sanctuary within your mind. This will be a place you can always retreat to, finding peace and solace whenever needed.

Visualize yourself walking along a path that leads to a beautiful, secluded spot. This path can be anywhere you find soothing: a forest, a beach, a garden, or even a cozy room. As you walk, notice the environment around you becoming more peaceful with each step.

Arrive at your sanctuary and begin to explore it. Notice the colors, textures, and scents. What makes this place ideal for you? Is it the gentle sound of water, the soft rustle of leaves, or the cozy feel of a warm room?
Customize this space in your imagination to suit your deepest needs for peace and relaxation.

Incorporate elements into your sanctuary that bring you comfort. It might be a soft blanket, a comfortable seat, or a window that looks out onto a beautiful view. Perhaps add a source of soothing sounds, like a small waterfall or a fireplace, and include objects that hold personal significance, like photos of loved ones or favorite books.

Take a moment to sit or lie down within your sanctuary. Feel the complete peace enveloping this space. Everything here is aligned with your deepest needs for tranquility and comfort. Absorb the calmness, letting it infuse every part of your being.

Use your sanctuary for deep reflection or meditation. Bring to mind any current challenges or stressors in your life, and imagine setting them down outside your sanctuary. Inside this space, you are untouched by external pressures. Here, you can find clarity and strength.

Let’s do a countdown returning from your sanctuary.
5 Start to bring your awareness back to the physical world outside your sanctuary. Feel the surface beneath you, hear the ambient sounds of your actual surroundings, and slowly begin to move your fingers and toes.
4 When you’re ready, gently open your eyes. Take a moment to adjust to the light and the environment around you.
3 Reflect on the peace and clarity you experienced in your sanctuary. Consider how you can bring elements of this tranquility into your everyday life.
2 Resolve to visit this mental sanctuary regularly. Make it a part of your daily or weekly routine to step back into this space, especially when you feel overwhelmed or disconnected.
1 Take a moment to feel grateful for the ability to create such a peaceful space within your mind. Gratitude will enhance the sanctuary’s power to soothe and heal.

Thank you for joining “Creating a Sanctuary.” May the peace and comfort of your inner retreat accompany you throughout your days, providing a safe haven whenever needed.
