Make sure you're comfortable lying or sitting down. And please do not listen to this audio while driving or operating machinery. This guided visualization will take you forward in time. To your 90 years old self. It is for you if you would like to have a reminder of what your values are, Of who you truly are, And the impact that you're already making right now. So now, Find a position that feels comfortable. Let your hands rest gently wherever they fall. Before we begin, Become aware of three sounds that you can hear right now. Two things that you can feel. Perhaps the surface beneath you. The air against your skin. And one thing that you can smell. You're here. Your presence. When you are ready. Close your eyes. Now to settle the nervous system. Are going to breathe a little differently. Imagine that when you're breathing out. You're breathing out as if you're breathing out to a straw. Through thinly pursed lips. So breathe in through your nose to the count of two. Three for Breathe out for two. 3 Four. 5… 6… Breathing in through your nose. For 2, 3, 4. 4. Breathe out through your mouth as if you are breathing out through a straw. Tree. Four. 5… 6… Breathe in through your nose. 2, 3, 4. Breathe out for two. Three four, Five, And six. One more time, Breathing in through your nose to the count of two. Three. 4. Breathe out for 2, 3. 4, 5, 6 and sick. Now let your breathing return to its natural rhythm. Now as you're breathing, Relax it. Your imagination awakens. Imagine you're standing at the top of a beautiful staircase. A staircase with 10 steps. Leading you down towards a special door. Behind that door is somebody extraordinary. Someone you know more closely than anyone else in this world. Feel the ground beneath your feet with each step. 10 and 9 eight and seven, Your body growing softer, Heavier, More at ease. Six and five, Halfway there. Four and three. 2 and 1. You are standing in front of the door right now. You can reach out to the handle. Feel it beneath your fingers and slowly open. This place feels like it belongs to you somehow. And as you look ahead. You see someone sitting at a beautiful porch. It's an all or person. Settle into themselves. And just walk towards this person that you see on the porch. And as you get closer, You make eye contact and you realize that this is you. Your future self. Celebrating 90 years of this one extraordinary life. And just look at him or her. Really take a good look. Notice how they look. They have lived the life that you are still building. They know what you are capable of because they are. But you are capable. And now the people that this future version of you loves. Begin to arise. Family first. They want to tell you something. They want to give thanks for something and just listen. How did you show up for them? How did your presence in their lives matter. And now close friends are arriving. The ones who chose you, The ones you chose. What are they telling you on your nine feet bird? What are they thankful for? And now people from work, Colleagues, Clients. Those whose lives were touched in some way by what you did. What is the thing that they want you to know? And now it's quiet again, Just the two of you. And the older version of you turns towards you. He or she wants you to know something. No advice, No instructions, Just a reminder. Something they would. Someone had told you sooner. Listen well. Take a deep breath in. Garuda. Everything that you have just witnessed, The gratitude, The joy, The legacy. That is already inside of you. It is not something you have to become. It is something you already are becoming. Every single day. What you hoped to hear today. This is your values speaking. In a moment I will count from 1 to 5. And you'll return to this room feeling lighter. A little more certain of who you are. One slowly returning. Becoming aware of the room around you. To wiggle your fingers and toes gently. Tree. Notice two sounds around you. And one thing that you can feel. Or take a deep breath in. And let it go fully. Five, Eyes open. When you are ready. Calm and grounded. Ready for your day.
