Hey there.
This is Asmi Vakasa.
So many people deal with burnout and overwhelm.
And it can really take a toll on someone's ability to face the future with hope.
And to remember that good surprises can happen.
And things can change for the better.
Today.
We're going to replenish our ability to feel hope and trust in life.
To begin.
Find a position that feels entirely supportive and safe for your body right now.
You can sit,
Recline,
Or lie down.
Let your weight be fully supported by the chair.
The bed.
Or the floor beneath you.
There is nowhere else you need to be.
And nothing else you need to do.
Gently close your eyes.
Or soften your gaze toward the floor.
Take a deep,
Soft breath in.
And let it go with a sigh.
We're going to repeat this a couple of more times.
Take another deep,
Gentle breath in.
Feel your lungs expand with vitality.
And release the breath with a sigh.
And now,
One more time.
Take a deep breath.
Hold it for a second.
And release it with a sigh.
Now,
Let your breath settle into its own easy,
Comfortable rhythm.
There's no right or wrong way to breathe here.
Just invite a sense of softness into the body.
With every exhale,
Allowing yourself to drop a little deeper into this safe,
Quiet place.
Now bring your awareness to the present.
Notice whatever is here right now.
Any thoughts moving through your mind?
Any emotions in your heart.
Or any physical sensations in your body.
Acknowledge these gently.
Without judgment.
All you have to do.
Is be right here.
Now.
Remind yourself of a beautiful truth.
This is simply a moment in time.
One of many you've experienced.
This moment.
Is not the rest of your life.
Like a wave rising and falling in the ocean.
This moment is a temporary passing event.
It does not define your future.
It does not dictate what comes next.
This is simply a single point on a long,
Beautiful journey.
If fear or anxiety are present.
I invite you to look at them with compassion.
Imagine gently loosening your grip on them.
You don't have to figure everything out right now.
In fact.
.
.
You don't have to figure anything out right now.
You don't have to solve the future today.
Give yourself permission.
To let go of the burden of trying to control what lies ahead.
Let yourself.
Simply be here.
I am here for you.
You are supported.
Everything.
Is going to be okay.
As you let go of the past and the future.
Feel a sense of space opening up within you.
In this space,
We invite the quality of trust.
Trust does not mean having all the answers.
Trust means believing that you have the resilience to meet whatever comes.
And that life has a capacity to hold you through it all.
Breathe in a deep,
Comforting sense of reassurance.
Feel it wash over you.
Imagine that you are being bathed in soothing,
Radiant light.
This is the light of the divine.
You may call it God.
Or the universe.
Or whatever term feels best to you.
What's important.
Is to remember that you are not alone.
You are loved.
You are supported.
And the future is a beautiful story that has yet to be written.
Some of the best moments of your life haven't happened yet.
Isn't that a wonderful thought?
You're going to laugh.
You're going to have moments of joy.
You are going to meet people you don't even know yet.
Who are going to love you.
You're going to feel comfort and ease.
And you're going to feel inspired.
Whisper to yourself.
Or simply feel the truth of these words.
Everything is going to be okay.
Everything.
Is going to be okay.
Everything is going to be okay.
Life is not stagnant.
It is always moving.
Always renewing.
Just as winter always gives way to spring.
The current landscape of your life will shift.
Open your heart to the absolute certainty.
That change brings new possibilities.
Embrace the fact that beautiful surprises can happen.
Wonderful things that you cannot even conceive of right now.
Are entirely possible.
Life still has so much goodness to show you.
Remember some of the best moments of your life.
Are in the future.
As we enter the final minutes of this meditation,
Feel a spark of hope.
Beginning to kindle in your chest.
Hope is a gentle,
Resilient light.
It reminds you that the future is wide open.
Full of potential,
Warmth,
And grace.
Now picture your future self.
A version of you who is looking back on this exact day.
With a smile of deep gratitude.
Your future self is delighted at how beautifully things turned out.
Relieved at how well you were taken care of.
And grateful for your resilience.
What do you think this future self wants to say to you?
I'll be silent for a little bit.
To let you connect and see if your future self has a message for you.
Or if they simply want to offer silent support and love.
Take a deep breath.
Full breath.
Filling your lungs with this feeling of inspiration.
And hope.
Bask in knowing that one day you will look back.
And be grateful that everything worked out in the end.
Feel a sense of lightness in your mind.
A soothing calm in your nervous system.
And an open,
Expectant heart.
You are safe.
You are held.
The future is bright.
And beautiful surprises are waiting for you.
When you're ready.
Slowly begin to wiggle your fingers and your toes.
Gently stretch if it feels good to do so.
And when it feels right,
Open your eyes.
Carry this newfound sense of peace,
Trust,
And hope forward into the rest of your day.
