When hope is lost.
Remember the pendulum.
The pendulum swing.
It moves up.
Back down.
Back down.
Then up again.
Life is the same.
We experience the lowest point of the pendulum swing before energy converts.
Forcing us back up again to our highest,
Most wonderful vantage point.
My name is Amy.
I will be guiding you today.
In your favorite meditation spot or wherever you won't be disturbed.
Let your body adjust and find comfort.
Close your eyes.
We're going to journey within.
And every meaningful journey starts with the breath.
Let's breathe and count together.
Starting with a count of four in and five out.
Increasing the length of time that we inhale and exhale as we go.
Follow me.

10 Allow your breath to flow slowly.
And instinctively now.
And take a moment to let your body feel heavy and supported.
As you sink down.
Down.
Into the ground below.
It's going to be okay.
Were heading into a forest.
This is a wonderful forest.
So peaceful.
So safe.
It's exciting,
I love it.
The emerald leaves on the trees all around you.
Gently rustle as a light breeze dances through them.
It's warm.
And sunlight is painting patterns in scattered light at your feet.
You can hear birds calmly singing above you.
And you can smell the fresh,
Rich earth below.
Familiar and abundant with life.
It's exciting to be here.
Up ahead.
There is a clearing.
At the edge of the forest.
You head towards it.
At the clearing,
You see three pathways.
One leading left.
One Leading Right.
And one leading straight on.
Today.
You decide to go right.
As you walk along the path.
You stumble across a secret garden.
Hidden behind vines,
A breathtakingly ornate silver gate waits for you to open it and enter.
So,
You do.
You have never seen a garden.
As perfect.
As this one.
Flowers of every variety.
Every color have been planted and nourished in place.
Carefully pruned greenery,
Sculptures of marble and natural rocks.
Compliment the buds,
The blooms.
And the bees are at work.
Thriving in this haven of nature.
Whose garden is this?
It is yours.
Your future self stands proudly ahead of you.
Waiting for your visit.
Welcoming you to the garden with open arms.
They are older,
Wiser.
And peaceful.
Deep lines around their eyes appear when they smile.
And each grey strand in their hair tells stories of a million memories made.
Your future self says.
I am going to tell you about your life ahead.
And it's going to be.
Quite something.
Open your heart now.
And allow yourself to narrate your story.
See your potential.
See your heart's desires.
Recognising your time together is limited.
Your future self says one last thing.
I will be praying for you to meet me here.
Along this path.
One day.
Take a deep breath in.
And out.
And bring awareness to your body now.
Your younger body.
With so much still to see and experience.
Wiggle your toes.
And your fingers.
And take a stretch if you need to.
Bring your focus to the room or place that you are in.
And very slowly.
When you're ready.
Open your eyes.
Here's what you need to hear today.
As a garden changes through seasons.
New chapters of your life.
Are yet to unfold.
But there is life in you yet.
Ready to bloom again.
