Hello, My name is Zara, And today we're going to do a meditation for envisioning your positive future self. You can start by getting comfortable. Make any adjustments that you need to feel even just a little bit more comfortable in the body. Taking a deep breath. And releasing any stress or tension from your day with an exhale. Arriving here and now, Maybe gently closing the eyes. Noticing the sense of relaxation behind the eyes as you close them. This is a very comfortable, Easy place to be. And as you sink more into relaxation, Priming the mind. For more peace. By simply saying, I am allowing myself to sink into more peace. This is a time for you. There's nothing else to do and nowhere else to be. Just being here right now. Sinking into comfort and ease. Noticing a wave of relaxation move from the top of the head all the way down to the tips of the toes. Relaxing and releasing behind the eyes, Noticing a gentle release, A softening of the muscles behind the eyes. And relaxing down into the jaw. And shoulders. The shoulders melt away from the ears. And find yourself in a comfortable, Easy, Effortless rhythm of breath. Sinking into the surface beneath you, Feeling held and supported. As you allow yourself. To release and relax. And now you're going to use your amazing imagination. And you're going to picture. As if there is a clock in front of you. An old school clock that has a wind-up dial. And I want you to imagine as though you're reaching out and starting to wind the clock forward. And watching as it spins and spins and moves forward, You feel yourself being moved forward in time along with this magical clock. And as you move forward, Going more and more and more into the future, Find the time speeds up. And you're going to go. . . About a year or two from now. And if you'd like, You can go even further. You get to decide how far into the future you'd like to go. When you've arrived at the perfect time, Imagine setting down the clock. And finding. A future version of you that is happier and healthier. In whatever way you would like to grow and move toward, Imagine this future version of you. That is absolutely glowing. That is refreshed and feeling amazing. Just see yourself in the presence. Witness what this future version of yourself is doing. How do they carry themselves? What's their posture like? What facial expressions are they making? How does this future version of you, Happy, Healthy, Vibrant version of you, Interact with their world. See them talking to others. Notice the shifts and changes. In how they hold themselves, How they talk. How they stand. And just imagine being in their presence and soaking up their presence, Feeling refreshed just being near them. Feeling happier just being near them. And then you can imagine engaging in a dialogue with them. Ask them if there's anything you can do. Right now. That will help you move toward this version of you. This free confidence. Happy, Healthy version of you. Is there a step you can take? Is there a shift you can make in your habits and your thinking? What would help you to move toward this future? What would help you solidify this as your future, As your timeline? And just listen for an answer. An answer may or may not come right now. It may come later. But by simply asking your mind this question. You're getting closer to knowing. What do I need to do to step in? To this future version of myself. Just listen intuitively for a response. And if one doesn't come right now, Maybe it comes later in a dream. Or an interaction or a random pop-up of thought in your mind later this week. Imagine soaking up the energy of this beautiful human standing in front of you, This future version of you. Bright, Shining, Confident, Happy, And healthy. Soaking in that energy. Feeling as though you are currently being changed by that energy. Noticing the subtle shifts in yourself. As you interact with this future version of you. And then thanking them. Knowing that this is your path. Keeping that hope alive in your own heart that this is your path, That you're moving towards this. And imagine picking up that clock again. And spinning it back, Back, Back, All the way back. Until right now. Sitting here feeling refreshed, Renewed, Re-energized, And filled with hope. A little bit more clarity on the path in front of you. The ways to navigate it, And how to get there. Maybe a smile spreads across your lips as you contemplate. The future ahead. Taking small, Meaningful steps to get there. And knowing that step by step. You will become this happy, Healthy version of you. Even if it's just a little bit happier, A little bit healthier. You know now that this is accessible for you. Breathing this in. Breathing out any doubts. And then when you're ready, Coming back into the room around you. Wiggling your fingers and toes. And opening the eyes.
