Feelings of anxiety or sadness or anger or any other negative feeling are premised on the notion that there is something missing in your life. You sense that you are going to fail at something or that something bad will happen. In a word, you are living with wanting of some kind. You want approval or safety or love or companionship or to know or whatever it is. But you already have everything you need. The most fundamental want that you probably face, the one that often underlies other wants, is the desire for safety. Ultimately, the biggest risk is that we die. And based on the stress and anxiety you sometimes feel, or the level of anger or sadness that you might struggle with, your emotional self fears that there is a risk to your life. What is the antidote to these fears and the negative feelings that come up? The truth. The truth is that you are safe, and things are ok. You've just convinced yourself that this isn't the case. So this is a simple meditation to help remind your emotional self of the truth that you are going to be ok.
Note: This is a one hour version of the I Am Safe guided meditation

And maybe for their genetic make-up it is or maybe for advanced meditation masters their biochemistry really has changed. But for the vast majority of Homo Sapiens, 7-8 hours night after night after night is the minimum needed not just for a healthy body but also for the attentional powers necessary to embark on the transformative journey of self-mastery.
