Have you ever wondered why some people seem to radiate a sense of safety and calm, while others constantly chase it? Today's episode dives deep into a personal breakthrough that forever changed my understanding of what it means to be safe in the world.

Through a spontaneous journal entry that emerged from a simple check-in text with a friend, I share my journey through the multiple dimensions of safety. What began as an external pursuit—seeking safety through self-defense skills, gated communities, and protective relationships—evolved into something far more profound. 

The transformation came when I stopped seeing safety as something to acquire and recognized it as something I already am. "I am safe" shifted from a mere affirmation to an embodied frequency, a vibration that permeates every cell of my being. This realization didn't happen overnight but emerged through intentional silence, meditation, and a willingness to explore the layers of my own consciousness.

When we vibrate at the frequency of safety, everything in our universe shifts. We attract different experiences, relationships, and opportunities that match this new energy. People inexplicably feel comfortable in our presence, often sharing things they've never told anyone else. This isn't coincidence—it's resonance. We become not just recipients of safety but embodiments of it, creating safe spaces wherever we go.

The most beautiful part? This state of being is available to everyone. Safety isn't something you can learn, buy, wear, hire, build, or create—it's something you are. By choosing to embody safety at the deepest level, you transform not only your own experience of life but how others experience you. Ready to make this shift? All you have to do is choose it.

Journal Entry on Letting Go

Speaker 1

So I had a friend message me this morning and just asked how I was. But because of who this was, I ended up writing something back that turned into almost a journal entry of sorts, and so I thought I'd share it with you today and that we'd talk about it a little bit more. So I said I finally let go. I let go of my attachment to everything and sat in stillness recently. And now I've attracted all the stages, opportunities and relationships I intended in the first place. Thank you.

From External to Internal to Eternal

Speaker 1

It took me a while to internalize the concept of I am safe. While to internalize the concept of I am safe At first, I thought it was one-dimensional, meaning I am safe, like externally, my external environment is safe. Then I sat with it and saw a second dimension I am safe in my mind, as in no matter where I am, I can be safe in my mind. Then the third dimension hit me the hardest I am safe. When I realized I am what I say I am, then meditated on I am safe. I finally gave my body permission to vibrate at the frequency of being safe. Since that moment, everything in my universe shifted from seeking externally to seeking internally what this is. It's so amazing how certain people can be mirrors to you. Certain people can be activators, certain people can be triggers, certain people can just spark something in you that either leads you to an epiphany or it can lead you to a moment of learning, which many people might define as failure, but I see it as learning, progress, growth, evolution, right. This opportunity this morning to sit and reflect, this opportunity to recognize what I have safety in the background. While I continue to run a business, while I continue to coach others, while I continue to have a relationship, while I continue life, I'm processing safety, and so it's really interesting to be able to sit and look at the three or four different dimensions that I'm now exploring.

Speaker 1

Safety and how it did. Really all start by thinking externally. I need to learn self-defense to feel safe right. External, I needed to be in a gated community. To feel safe external, I needed to be in relationships that made me feel safe external. And then I started to be like well, I can't always control those factors, so control what you can control. So I turned internally and I thought well, even if I can't control the environment my body is currently in, at least I can control my mind and I can allow myself to feel safe, even in an environment where others would choose not to, where others would choose not to, okay, cool, that's dimension number two, internal safety. Okay, so, no matter where my body goes now I'm safe. Great, because safety started with my thoughts.

Embodying the Frequency of Safety

Speaker 1

Right, it started with thinking I'm safe, and I thought that was where it ended until I continued the exploration and I continued to get curious and I continued to stay open and I continued to meditate, I continued to sit in silence and then it hit me One day. It hit me. I am safe. Not, I am safe, not I am safe. Not I am safe, but I am safe. I. I am. So are you, we all are, but we choose that. So I am safe, I, my atoms, the atoms that make up, that choose to stick together to make up the matter of Jaina Swan.

Speaker 1

I am vibrating at the frequency of safety. I create safety, I am safety, I. So it went from external to internal, to eternal, because I am safety. The moment that it really clicked for me and I'm saying it on repeat because I want you to feel it I know this is a podcast and I know that I'm not recording video, so what all you get is my voice right now when I say I am, am being the key word.

Speaker 1

Your cellular makeup, your frequency, your vibration, how you show up, how you are the being that you are, you are, I am safety. And it is not until you get to that frequency that you become safe and until then your nervous system is not going to feel safe. And it is something that you've learned to become, to be, to embody. That's why we call it embodiment. Originally, healthy emotional regulation was her embodiment and people would ask me over and over why embodiment? Why embodiment? This is why embodiment Because you are being it. So safety is not something that you can learn. It's not something you can buy, it's not something you can wear, it's not something that you can hire, it's not something that you can build, it's not something you can create. It's something you are. I am safe.

Attracting Your Matching Frequency

Speaker 1

I can't explain what it feels like to be able to sit here and say that with such confidence, such peace. I am safe Because I choose to be safety. And now I get to be safety for myself and for others. As I continue to vibrate at the frequency of being safe, I now get to activate other people who will meet me and recognize that they are not matching that frequency, or they are. They may absolutely fall in love with hanging out with me and be like, oh, I really love hanging out with you. You're just so great and I don't know what it is about you. There's something about you that just it's that I help you feel safe. My energy feels safe. That's why you tell me things, that's why people open up. I don't know why I'm telling you this right now, but I feel compelled to share. It's that I have this gift because I am safety, I am remembrance, I am bringing you back to who you are, so you can embody being who you are. I am safe, I am safe.

Choosing Your Vibration

Speaker 1

Meditate on that, sit in stillness with that, explore the ins and outs of that, because the first layer of healing for me was feeling like I was in a safe environment, feel like I had safety skills, but I realized none of that helped my nervous system calm down on the inside. That's when I explored safety mindsets and then boundaries, and then exploring, speaking those boundaries. And now I'm at the layer even deeper, to recognizing that I'm just vibrating at the level of safety and that my world will match that and mirror that to me, because I am in such a compelling space of choosing that I am safe. There is a difference in that now than any other time in my past, which means I am now going to have a different response moving forward, because my frequency is going to be different, so I will attract different people, different experiences.

Speaker 1

This all comes from having the curiosity and the openness, knowing that I had a block, knowing that just months ago I didn't know what the problem was or how could I feel safe in a world that keeps showing me that I shouldn't be. And it was because it had nothing to do with the world around me and it had everything to do with me and how I was choosing to show up in it. And it took me a little while to get there, but it wasn't until I cut off all the external noise and I was extremely selective what voices I let remain in my space. And then, when I had more time to sit with myself, I ended up experiencing all of these different multiple layers and of dimensions of safety, which is what gets me to the point now that I can sit here and say with such peace and calm and belief that I am safe, because I know that that's the frequency that I vibrate at in this very moment. I am safe, and so are you. All you have to do is choose it.
