Take a moment to get into a comfortable position with your back straight and your feet either on the ground or cross-legged.
Place your hands palm down on each thigh and just bringing attention to your breath.
Taking a deep breath in through the nose all the way down into the stomach cavity.
And twice as long,
Exhale out.
Now taking a deep breath into the right palm,
Allowing your exhale to be easy.
Breathing in up to the right elbow and allowing in that exhale the full body to relax.
Breathing up to the right shoulder and as you exhale,
Just allow that relaxation to cascade downwards.
Taking a breath across to the left shoulder and again allowing the relaxation to cascade down that side of the body.
Take a breath into the left elbow and allow the body to fully relax.
Taking a breath into the left palm and allowing the breath to flow out of you with ease.
Taking a connecting breath into the right palm and bringing your breath gently up into the right elbow.
Bringing your breath up to the right shoulder and a connecting breath into the left shoulder.
Bringing your breath to the left elbow and a final breath into the left palm.
Now in this space of relaxation,
Just imagine that you're in a beautiful room,
Decorated exactly in the way that you like it and the sun and the light is perfect as well too.
Just enfolding you gently in this room.
In front of you,
There's a blank screen and as you look up onto that screen,
An image emerges in front of you.
Maybe you don't see anything specifically but just get a sense of it and in this image you feel that you've completely stepped into that future version of you where it's all completely sorted.
Whatever it is that you've been working towards,
That your longing and your heart has drawn you towards is completely here in your life now and it has been for a while so that as you watch yourself on this screen in front of you,
You're just recounting the story of how it all happened to friends around you and you just have this laugh like,
Wow,
I was so caught up with it in the past and now it's just an easy part of my life and I don't think twice about it.
And you see that there are a few folks who are leaning in,
Just wanting to also be in that place in their life and just with your perfect embodiment of it,
You give them that hope that one day it shall be theirs as well.
And in that moment,
You feel yourself just enlivened,
Just feeling that beautiful,
Simple satisfaction that how it just all came together.
And now as you look back on that journey,
You see that just when you needed it,
Help was right there,
All this encouragement that lined the path to the day that you're living now was just perfectly placed and doors opened and appeared just when you thought it might be the end,
But there it was and you smile at how beautifully it was all completely orchestrated.
Just allowing yourself to feel that gratitude for your journey,
The twists and turns even,
How that even creates some of the light now as you share the story,
So intriguing.
Now you recall how the closed doors or the obstacles in front of you,
The mountains that you'd had to climb that,
Wow,
What a great gift those were.
You wouldn't be who you are today without them.
And now you can stand on top of those mountains with that grand perspective of having walked that path,
Allow yourself to feel that joy of arriving to the top of that mountain and the beautiful vista that's there now of having fully stepped into your dreams and that giving you the confidence that anything else that you might dream up is completely within reach as well and you feel that trust within you,
Trust in the unfolding of this path,
No matter how mysterious and dark it may look at times and just dropping into that faith.
Now just bringing gratitude for all the gifts that you have in your life,
In this dream that you're living now,
Just allowing yourself to enjoy it and feel it in your body,
Feeling it with all of your senses.
What might you be smelling?
Are your toes in the sand or water?
What delicious foods are you tasting in that moment?
What are the sounds around you?
Who might be embracing you right now,
Celebrating this time as well with you?
And as you take your next inhale,
Breathing it all the way into your heart center,
Just know that this image,
This future self is here with you to guide you.
Breathing it in all the way into your body so that every cell is infused with this knowing,
This trust,
This faith,
This confidence,
Allowing your body to move and feel it completely.
And in your mind,
Just grab a little token to remind you in your day.
It could be an image,
A sound,
Or even a taste that would bring this back to you easily.
And again,
Taking a deep breath into the stomach cavity and twice as long exhale out through the mouth.
Repeating that breath a couple of times at your own pace.
Wiggle your fingers and your toes,
Allow your body to stretch and move.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes.
