06: Guided Meditation to Find Your Happy Place and Restore Inner Peace

In this episode of The Spiritual Sanctuary: Wisdom for the Divine Feminine, you’re guided through a Creative Happy Place Meditation, a visualization practice designed to help you discover your inner sanctuary—a place within you that brings peace, comfort, joy, and emotional relief. This meditation supports stress reduction, mental clarity, and nervous system soothing by inviting you into a calm, imaginative space created entirely by your own mind and spirit.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, seeking emotional grounding, or longing for a moment of quiet restoration, this guided journey helps you reconnect with the inner landscape where you feel safe, centered, and deeply at ease.

Throughout the practice, we explore meaningful questions such as what a “happy place” truly is, why guided visualization reduces stress, how creativity supports emotional balance, and how returning to your inner sanctuary can help you navigate difficult moments with more clarity and resilience. You’ll also learn how to return to this space anytime you need comfort or grounding.

Profile picture for Bertena Varney

Bertena Varney

Bertena is a spiritual teacher, priestess, and intuitive guide who blends ancient wisdom with grounded, modern insight. She is the creator and host of The Spiritual Sanctuary, a podcast devoted to the Wheel of the Year, Divine Feminine wisdom, goddess traditions, ritual, meditation, and soul-aligned living.

With decades of experience as a college educator and a deep background in spiritual studies, Bertena brings a rare combination of academic depth and embodied spiritual practice to her work. Her teachings weave together seasonal spirituality, priestess paths, somatic awareness, tarot and oracle wisdom, and contemplative ritual—always with an emphasis on empowerment, discernment, and personal sovereignty.

Bertena is the founder of the Ancient Arts of the Priestess Academy, where she offers self-paced courses, seasonal lessons, and immersive spiritual education rooted in the cycles of nature rather than hustle culture. Her work is especially supportive for women seeking a slower, more meaningful spiritual path—one grounded in trust, rest, and inner authority.

Through her podcast, courses, and writings, Bertena invites listeners into a sanctuary space where wisdom is remembered, not rushed, and where spiritual growth unfolds in its own time.
