Hypnobabies Question

It seems like the foundation of the Hypnobabies process is the "safe, special" place you create in your mind. I'm sure I'm overthinking this but I can't figure out what this place should be/look like.. Those that are doing/have done Hypnobabies - what kind of place did you create and how did you come up with it? Was it real? Imaginary?

    I went more for a relaxing place than a 'safe' place. I used the image of a deserted beach where I could walk along the shore and float in the ocean.  It was pretty much just an imaginary place, but based off beaches I've been to before.

    I tried to create a relaxing place as well. Just something I thought would be soothing. An open meadow with a warm breeze. And I tried to think of soothing smells to accompany the image as well, too add to the visualization.

    I thought of the morning on the beach in the Bahamas from our honeymoon. It's calm and relaxing. I visualize it without other people of course

    I picked my grandparents lake front property. All sunny, warm, and full of
    good memories. Choose some place that makes you feel safe and comfortable, even if it's totally made up or some place you've always wished you could go.

    Thanks for the input ladies! I think I'll listen to the CD and "try out" a few places. There's a beach DH and I went to on vacation a few years ago that I picture to relax when I get blood drawn so maybe I'll use that. I like the idea of imagining smells too, that's a good idea.

    I feel again a little late to the party on this one.. what is hypnobabies? @miggg?
    @ashtog Hypnobabies is a birthing course/technique that focuses on the mental preparation side of childbirth. The basic goal is to try to make birthing a positive, empowering experience. My MW recommended it and it seems to work really well for a lot of women so I thought I'd give it a try. I have my first class today though so I'm definitely no expert yet!
