Hi and welcome.
Take a moment to arrive,
Not just with your body,
But with your whole being.
So often we move through life trying to become.
Become calmer,
Wiser,
Happier,
More whole.
But what if,
Instead of striving,
We simply paused and met the part of us that already is?
This practice is an invitation to meet yourself,
Not the version others see,
Not the version you hope to become,
But the you that exists quietly beneath it all,
The one who already carries peace,
Wisdom,
And trust in life's flow.
Somewhere in the future,
There is a version of you who has lived through everything you are moving through now,
Who has softened into acceptance and learned to trust the unfolding of things.
Today,
You will meet that version of yourself,
Your wiser,
Calmer future self,
And allow their peace to become your own.
So when you are ready,
Find a comfortable position,
Seated or lying down,
Let your hands rest softly,
Your shoulders release,
Take a deep breath in and slowly let it out.
Let the body settle.
Let the mind quiet.
Let your heart open for what awaits.
Allow yourself to settle into this moment,
Into this breath,
Into this gentle pause in time.
Whatever you have brought with you today,
Thoughts,
Feelings,
Sensations,
Simply allow them to be here.
You don't have to push anything away or make anything happen.
You are simply arriving here now.
Gently close your eyes if you are comfortable or maintain a soft gaze downward.
Bring your awareness to your breath.
Feel the air entering and leaving your body.
Notice the rise and fall of your chest,
The steady rhythm of the breath,
Always here,
Always faithful.
With each exhale,
Let your body soften a little more.
Feel the ground beneath you,
Solid,
Supportive.
Allow yourself to be held by this moment.
Imagine that with every breath,
You are settling more deeply into a quiet space,
A space of calm,
Safety,
And stillness.
Now,
In your mind's eye,
Imagine a gentle path opening before you.
It might be a sunlit forest trail,
A quiet beach at dawn,
Or a soft meadow touched by breeze.
Whatever landscape comes to you,
Trust it.
This is your mind's way of showing you where peace lives.
Begin to walk slowly along this path.
With each step,
You feel lighter,
Clearer,
And calmer.
Notice the details,
The sound of your footsteps,
The scent of the air,
The softness of light touching your skin.
As you move forward,
You notice someone waiting ahead,
Standing calmly,
Radiating quiet ease.
There is something familiar about this person.
As you draw closer,
You realize this is you,
Your future self.
This version of you is not defined by goals or achievements,
But by peace.
They move with calm confidence.
Their eyes hold wisdom and warmth.
There is no tension,
No striving,
Only trust in the flow of life.
Take a moment to simply stand with them.
Notice how they carry themselves,
How they breathe,
How they smile,
Perhaps at you.
You might imagine sitting together in this peaceful space,
Perhaps under a tree,
Beside the ocean,
Or wherever feels right.
There is no rush,
Just presence.
Now,
Ask gently,
What do you wish to tell me?
What do you know that I have not yet learned?
Maybe they speak to you in words,
Maybe they respond with a feeling,
A sense of reassurance,
Peace or warmth.
Trust whatever arises.
You can't get this wrong.
This future self knows that all things unfold in their time.
They have learned that peace doesn't come from control,
But from deep trust in the energy of the now.
Let their presence remind you that you are becoming this version of yourself,
Step by step,
Moment by moment.
If it feels right,
You might imagine them reaching out,
Placing a hand on your shoulder or over your heart.
Feel that touch as a transmission of calm,
A remembering all is well.
You are on your path.
Now,
Slowly begin to absorb this meeting,
The feelings,
The energy,
The knowing.
With each breath,
Draw their calm into your heart.
With each exhale,
Release any doubt or tension.
You might silently repeat,
I trust where I am.
I trust what is unfolding.
I am becoming who I am meant to be.
Begin to watch your future self step back onto their path,
Turning towards the horizon,
Peaceful and free.
You know this isn't a goodbye,
It is a merging.
They walk ahead of you,
But you carry their essence within you now.
The wisdom,
The peace,
The quiet knowing,
They live in you already.
You only needed to remember.
Take a deep breath in and exhale softly.
Feel the weight of your body,
The air on your skin,
The sounds around you.
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes.
Roll your shoulders once or twice.
And when you are ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Notice how you feel,
Perhaps a little softer,
A little more trusting,
A little more at ease.
Know that your future self isn't far away.
They are simply the part of you that already knows how to trust life,
Already knows that you are enough,
Already knows that everything unfolds in its own perfect time.
Thank yourself for showing up,
For meeting yourself with openness and for remembering who you are becoming.
Carry this calm into the rest of your day with the quiet knowing that your path is unfolding exactly as it should.
