Find a comfortable seated posture,
Close your eyes and bring your awareness inward.
Let's begin by arriving fully in this space.
Allow your awareness to settle into your breath,
Noticing each inhale as it fills you and each exhale as it releases,
Like waves gently washing ashore.
With every breath,
Allow yourself to become a little more present,
A little more grounded.
Now,
Let's ground even deeper.
Imagine roots extending down from your body into the earth.
Feel these roots reaching deep,
Connecting you to the supportive energy below.
Feel the strength and stability that the earth offers you,
A grounding force that holds you in this moment.
Let yourself feel fully held,
Safe and supported.
Now that you are grounded,
Let's rest here in the stillness,
The pure beingness of this moment.
See if you can sense the space within yourself that is already at peace,
That needs nothing more than this breath,
This presence.
Rest here for a while.
As you relax into this beingness,
Allow yourself to contemplate this truth,
Every end is a beginning and every beginning an end.
Consider how every exhale carries with it a small letting go and every inhale a gentle rebirth.
Let each breath remind you of the cycles of change,
Of release and renewal.
Realize you are in each moment dying and in each moment being reborn.
Notice too that stepping consciously into a new way of being necessitates letting go of who you think you are to become who you could be.
See if you can sense any resistance to this letting go,
Gently acknowledging it without judgement.
Allow these thoughts,
These images to soften,
Making room for new possibilities.
See yourself standing on a sacred threshold,
A doorway between your past self and your emerging self.
Take a few breaths to ground yourself here,
Standing in readiness for this new path.
You may sense your past self standing beside you,
Looking on with kindness,
Holding all the wisdom,
Experiences and growth of your journey thus far.
Take a moment here to place a hand over your heart and bring forth feelings of gratitude,
Love and deep compassion for the being that you have been up until now.
You may silently say thank you,
Feeling your heart swell with gratitude for all that your past self has done to bring you here.
Now in your mind's eye,
See your past self offering you a torch of sacred fire.
Feel its warmth,
Its light.
This flame carries the strength,
Resilience and love that have sustained you.
As you receive this torch,
The light grows brighter still.
Allow this light to infuse you,
Filling you with courage and a deep sense of readiness.
Take this torch with gratitude and let your past self know they can rest now,
Because you are here to lead the way.
As you turn up toward the golden light of your future dreams,
Feel the path ahead of you growing clear.
You may even sense symbols,
Images or colours representing the life that awaits you.
A life aligned with your deepest truths and highest aspirations.
Step forward with each breath,
Walking this path with your torch held high.
Notice a sense of freedom,
Of release as you walk away from the limitations of the past.
Feel yourself expanding,
Becoming lighter,
More radiant as you embody this new way of being.
With each step,
Feel yourself letting go yet carrying forward the wisdom of all you have lived.
In this golden light,
Affirm to yourself,
I am free to grow,
To evolve,
To become who I am meant to be.
Become at once aware of your own capacity to dream.
Give yourself permission,
Dare to dream.
And begin now to visualize your future self to begin to dream it into being.
This self embodies your aspirations and lives in harmony with your highest values.
See this self clearly,
As though looking into a mirror of your soul.
What qualities does this self embody?
What gifts are they sharing with the world?
What peace,
Joy or purpose radiates from them?
Concentrate deeply on this future self until you can see it as clear as day.
Now,
As you stand in the presence of this future self,
Place a hand over your heart once more.
Silently affirm to yourself,
I am ready to walk this path.
I am ready to step into this new way of being.
And step into the image of your future self you have created and become one with this potentiality.
Feel the truth of this renewal in your heart,
Allowing it to ripple through your whole being.
And as you begin to slowly bring yourself back to the present room,
Carry this feeling of rebirth and readiness with you.
In your own time,
Begin to gently wiggle your fingers and toes,
Grounding yourself back into the physical space.
And when you feel ready to do so,
Take a big deep final breath,
Letting the inhale fill you with this new energy and the exhale release any final remnants of who you were until now.
And when you're ready,
Slowly open your eyes,
Carrying this renewed sense of purpose and presence with you into the rest of your day.
Every end is a beginning,
And every beginning an end.
