### Background
I've been practicing with metta phrases adapted from the Visuddhimagga, and i've seen the same thing in other places: Part of the meditations focuses on *safety*, which is perhaps not as relevant in our modern world where we are better protected from physical injury than in the ancient times
(Example: "May i be safe and free from injury")
### Question
**I'd like to find an alternative to metta mediation phrases related to physical safety** so that the phrases that i practice with are more relevant to me and others
### What i've found so far
So far i've been thinking about maybe exchanging phrases about physical safety to mental/emotional safety, or a feeling/perception of safety. In our modern society many people are suffering from anxiety
