This section invites you to explore the places within that have learned to protect, hide, or close off in the name of safety. Often, what we call ‘walls’ or ‘blocks’ were once boundaries created to survive emotional pain — but they can now keep love from flowing freely. These prompts will help you gently meet those parts of yourself, not to force them open, but to help them feel safe enough to soften.
Take your time as you write. Let your pen move slowly, as if you are listening to your own heart with compassion. The goal isn’t to ‘heal’ instantly — it’s to create safety and trust inside your own presence.
“It’s safe to be soft. It’s safe to receive love.”
Theme: Trusting that love is safe
1. What does love feel like in my body?
Notice where love lives in your body — perhaps warmth in your chest or crown, a flutter in your belly, or a softening in your shoulders. This awareness helps you reconnect love with safety and presence rather than fear or expectation.
2. Where do I hold fear around receiving love?
Gently reflect on moments when love felt uncertain or conditional. What sensations arise when someone tries to give to you? Awareness is the first step toward softening old protective patterns.
3. What would it mean to feel safe in love?
Visualize what safety in love looks and feels like. Imagine boundaries that protect without closing off, and relationships where you can exhale fully. Let your words describe that sense of calm trust.
