In order to heal our mental and [[Pain Body|emotional body]] to overcome deep fears, we must know how to establish safety within ourselves and recognize what makes us feel unsafe. Taking good care of our body, having a consistent meditation or spiritual practice to become more inner directed, avoiding exposure to self-harming behaviors, and learning how to manage fear or trauma reactions is essential to being safe within yourself. The first step is to identify what makes us feel safe and stable and to do those things every day. We must make an effort to identify what choices we do have, and make changes in our environment that can increase our sense of safety and comfort while in our physical space. Assess the physical and emotional safety of your environment, and realize it may be necessary to remove people or situations from your life who are entrenched in [[AD Behaviors|destructive and harmful behaviors]], in order to make the necessary changes to your lifestyle.  When we are more competent in [[Emotional Self-Regulation]] our inner safety is enhanced, so that [[Trust, Building Trust|trust can be formed]], as we discover that we really do have the resources inside of us for feeling comforted and safe.<ref>[http://www.energeticsynthesis.com/resource-tools/news-shift-timelines/3200-overcoming-fear Overcoming Fear]</ref>

==Setting Healthy Boundaries==
When we are more competent in [[Emotional Self-Regulation]] our inner safety is enhanced so that more trust can be formed and we discover that we really do have the resources inside of us for feeling more comfort and feeling safe. Now, sometimes we're going to need to maintain healthy boundaries in order to feel more safe and centred especially when in a group situation or difficult family situations. It could be any kind of situation. “Healthy boundaries” is a must. So, think about how you're feeling when you're around a person who drains you, pushes your buttons maybe consciously or unconsciously to upset you, someone with whom you feel you may easily lose your centre maybe lose your [[Impulse Control]]. Sometimes this happens when people are controlling, they're pushy, they're manipulating or they're demanding of our time and energy. How does this feel in your body? How does it feel in your mind? How does the presence of this particular person actually affect you?
Take notice of people and places that tend to drain you. Find [[Observer Point|neutrality in that situation]] by intending to connect with the inner compassionate witness. Just observe without judgement or reaction. Do not engage yet set appropriate boundaries. Before entering those places or exposing yourself to people whom you have a draining or vampiric sensation take a few minutes to fortify yourself and amplify your personal shield. Think of it as your inner energy space that will only allow love and positivity within it deflecting anything else. Focus on the [[Spirits of Christ]] as being inside your [[12D Shield]] and this personal space protecting you and guiding you through your path in the day. See it and feel it as the force of it around you. Then recognize what [[Consequences of Actions|action or non-action]] you're required to be responsible to maintain that peaceful inner space by setting healthy and appropriate boundaries.
