Hello and welcome.
This is Lauren Bernard and I'm so happy that you're here joining me for this Reiki meditation to connect to your higher,
Older self.
Taking a few moments to gather any props or anything that you might need to find the most comfortable,
Supported shape.
Take the time to set up,
To find your shape,
To find your way,
And to settle in.
And if you're ready,
Let's begin.
Can you allow your body to rest comfortably,
Whether lying down or seated?
Let your hands relax.
And let your eyes soften or close.
Take a few slow,
Steady breaths.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Again.
Inhale deeply into your belly.
And exhale,
Releasing the day or perhaps the week.
Inhale into your belly and exhale to release the day or the week.
And can you let this breath guide you inward?
Let it soften the spaces that feel tight or tense.
And let it quiet the mind and open the heart.
As you begin to feel supported by the ground beneath you,
I invite you to imagine,
Just imagine,
That you are stepping into a sacred,
Timeless space.
A quiet golden light surrounds you.
Warm,
Loving,
Safe.
You begin to sense the presence of someone approaching.
They move slowly,
Peacefully.
There's a deep calm that you notice in their eyes and it draws you in.
It's almost like they're glowing with wisdom,
Strength,
And gentleness.
This is you at 99 years old.
Your higher self.
Your future self.
The version of you who has lived a full,
Beautiful life.
Who has walked through joy,
Pain,
Courage,
And grace.
Who has learned what truly matters in this embodiment,
In this lifetime.
They sit beside you now and place a hand gently on your heart.
Can you feel the warmth of that touch?
Can you feel the energy begin to flow,
Reiki,
From your own future self?
It's as if their hand melts into your body,
Offering exactly what you need.
And now your 99 year old self begins to scan your body without judgment,
Without urgency.
Simply offering presence,
Love,
And healing.
Wherever you feel physical tension,
Or pain,
Or emotional heaviness,
They intuitively place their hands exactly where they need to go.
Maybe it's your shoulders,
Your back,
Your belly.
Maybe it's your throat,
Your chest,
Your heart.
Maybe it's your third eye center,
Or the crown of your head.
Can you feel that gentle energy flowing through you,
Releasing,
Clearing,
Calming?
And now imagine your future self begins to speak,
Not out loud,
But soul to soul.
What do they want you to know right now?
Maybe they whisper something like you're doing better than you think,
Or you are enough,
Or to let go of the pressure you place on yourself,
That life doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful.
Maybe it's to keep choosing love over fear.
Or to forgive yourself over and over again.
What message is yours to receive in this moment?
Allow it to come naturally,
Intuitively.
Whether a word,
A sentence,
A feeling,
Or even just a deep breath.
Permission to stop holding your breath,
And simply breathe.
Maybe they tell you that everything is going to be okay.
Let yourself be held in this embrace a little longer.
Your wiser self offering you the peace of perspective,
The gift of time,
And the medicine of compassion.
Take a breath here.
Breathe it all in.
And imagine now that your higher self is scanning your body one last time,
And is gathering up any energy that no longer serves you,
And places this energy into an angel bag.
An angel bag that they will take with them when they start to slowly dissolve the energy that will be transmuted back into love and light energy,
To be recycled into the universe.
Imagine your future self in all of their intelligence and wisdom,
Knowing exactly what you need and what to do.
Perhaps you start feeling lighter,
Freer,
And more at ease as you release anything that's been holding you back,
Or that's been stuck for far too long.
You might imagine your future self is now complete,
And is sitting beside you,
Holding your hand.
You see a gentle smile,
And you smile right back,
And begin to thank your future self.
Thank them for walking with you,
For guiding you,
For reminding you who you are,
Your true essence,
And bringing you home to yourself.
Watch them start to fade gently into the golden light,
Carrying their angel bag with them,
But know that they are always with you,
Always within you,
And that you may connect to them anytime you wish.
Any time that you need some guidance,
Just ask,
What would my future self think or say?
Two sips in through the nose,
And let it out through an audible sigh,
Ahhh,
Noticing each contact point from your body and the surface beneath you,
All that has been supporting you in this moment,
In this shape,
In this profound way.
May you carry this wisdom of your future self with you,
In this moment.
Sensing into the support beneath you,
Noticing any sounds near and far,
Perhaps starting to notice the light that filters through the eyelids,
And start to wiggle your fingers and toes if you are ready to emerge from this sacred space.
Maybe placing your hands on your heart or your belly,
And offer yourself gratitude for showing up today in this way,
For finding stillness.
Showing yourself this act of love,
And when you're ready,
You may slowly open your eyes,
Blinking them and looking around,
With fresh,
New eyes,
This new perspective on life,
Noticing all the little miracles that surround you,
The magic that happens.
Moment by moment.
May you walk gently into the next moment,
Grounded,
Clear,
And connected.
Thank you so much for joining me here for this powerful meditation and perspective shift.
Much love and light to all of you beautiful beings.
Loka samastah sukhino bhavantu.
May all beings everywhere be happy,
Healthy,
Peaceful,
And free.
And so it is.
Om shanti shanti shanti.
Om peace,
Peace,
Peace.
Namaste,
Dear ones.
Much love and light.
Always.
