Transcript

Welcome back.

Find a comfortable seated position.

Sit with a sense of openness and receptivity,

As if you're about to receive guidance from a wise mentor.

Rest your hands gently in your lap or on your thighs.

Close your eyes and take a moment to settle into this space.

Take a deep breath in and release it with a sigh,

Letting go of the need to have all the answers right now.

Breathe in again and out,

Creating space to receive wisdom beyond your current perspective.

One more deep breath in and out,

Opening your heart and mind to guidance.

Right now,

In this present moment,

You might be facing challenges,

Questions you don't know how to answer,

Decisions that feel confusing,

Paths that seem unclear.

This is natural.

This is part of the human journey.

You don't need to figure everything out alone.

Within you exists a version of yourself who has already walked through what you're facing now.

They have perspective,

They have wisdom earned through experience,

And they're ready to share it with you.

Imagine yourself in a beautiful,

Peaceful sanctuary.

This is a sacred space that exists outside of normal time,

A place where past,

Present and future can meet.

Look around this space.

Is it a temple,

A garden,

A library,

A mountaintop,

A quiet room filled with light?

Whatever appears is perfect.

This is your sanctuary,

Designed by your deeper wisdom.

In this space,

There are two comfortable seats facing each other.

You settle into one of them,

Feeling the support beneath you.

You take a moment to ground yourself,

To feel present in this sacred space.

Now you sense a presence.

Your future self is entering the sanctuary.

They move with grace and confidence.

They carry themselves with a knowing that comes from having walked the path you're on.

They sit down across from you,

Settling into the other seat.

They look at you with such kindness,

Such understanding.

They remember being where you are.

They remember the questions,

The doubts,

The fears,

And they've come to help.

Your future self speaks first.

I'm here for you.

I remember this moment.

I remember how hard this feels.

Ask me anything,

I'll tell you what I wish someone had told me.

Think about the biggest challenges you're facing right now.

The thing that keeps you up at night.

The decision that weighs on you.

The situation that feels overwhelming.

Bring it clearly to mind.

Now speak it out loud to your future self,

Or hold it clearly in your awareness.

Tell them what you're struggling with.

They listen with complete presence,

Nodding with understanding.

Your future self leans forward slightly and begins to speak.

Listen carefully to their wisdom.

This challenge you're facing,

It's not what it seems.

It's not an obstacle.

It's an initiation.

It's the exact thing you need in order to become me.

Without this,

You wouldn't grow into who you're meant to be.

The difficulty you're experiencing is actually a gift in disguise.

It's teaching you strength,

Resilience,

Wisdom,

Compassion.

Qualities that you'll need later.

Don't rush past it.

Don't wish it away.

Move through it with presence.

And here's what you need to know.

You are capable of handling this.

I'm living proof.

I made it through.

Not perfectly.

Not without mistakes.

But I made it through.

And so will you.

Ask your future self,

What should I do?

Which path should I take?

How do I move forward?

Your future self smiles gently and responds.

The path forward is simpler than you think.

You already know deep down what needs to happen.

You're just afraid to trust it.

That whisper of intuition you keep dismissing.

That's me,

Calling you forward.

Stop waiting for certainty.

Stop waiting for permission.

Stop waiting for the perfect moment.

Take the next small step.

Then the next.

The path reveals itself as you walk it,

Not before.

The thing you're most afraid of doing.

The thing that makes your heart race and your palms sweat.

That's often the thing that you most need to do.

Fear and excitement feel the same in the body.

Learn to interpret that sensation as a yes,

Not a no.

You confess to your future self,

But what if I fail?

What if I'm not enough?

What if I make the wrong choice?

Your future self's eyes soften with compassion.

They reach across and take your hands in theirs.

You will make mistakes.

I did.

But those mistakes become my greatest teachers.

There's no such thing as the wrong path.

Only the path you choose and what you learn from it.

Your doubts about being enough.

I can tell you from the future that this worry was wasted energy.

You were always enough.

You just couldn't see it yet.

The enoughness wasn't something you needed to achieve.

It was already there,

Waiting to be recognized.

Every successful person you admire felt exactly what you're feeling right now.

The difference wasn't that they were more talented or more ready.

The difference was that they moved forward anyway.

You ask,

What do I need to let go of?

What's holding me back?

Your future self takes a moment before responding,

Choosing their words carefully.

Let go of trying to control outcomes.

You can't control how things unfold.

You can only control your choices,

Your effort,

Your integrity.

Release your grip on the how and trust the process.

Let go of caring so much what others think.

The people who matter will support you.

The people who judge you are working through their own limitations.

Their opinions of you are none of your business.

Let go of the story that you're behind,

That you've wasted time,

That it's too late.

It's never too late.

I'm proof of that.

From where I sit in the future,

I can see that everything happened in perfect timing.

And most importantly,

Let go of being so hard on yourself.

The self-criticism,

The perfectionism,

The constant self-judgment.

It doesn't make you better,

It makes you smaller.

Treat yourself with kindness.

The kindness you'd show a dear friend.

You ask,

What should I do differently?

What habits or practices will help me become you?

Your future self lights up slightly,

Excited to share this.

Every day,

Spend time connecting with me,

With your future self.

Even just 5 minutes,

Even just 5 seconds.

Ask,

How would my future self handle this situation?

What would they choose?

How would they show up?

This practice alone will transform your life.

Prioritize your energy over your time.

It's not about being busy,

It's about being intentional.

Say no to things that drain you,

Say yes to things that expand you.

Guard your energy like it's sacred,

Because it is.

Trust your body.

When something feels contracted and heavy,

That's a no.

When something feels expansive and light,

Even if it's scary,

That's a yes.

Your body knows before your mind does.

And celebrate your wins,

No matter how small.

I wish I had celebrated more along the way.

Today,

You're achieving things right now that pass you by.

And they're things that the past you could only dream of.

Acknowledge that,

And honor that.

You lean in closer and ask,

What's the one thing you most want me to know?

The most important wisdom that you can share.

Your future self holds your gaze and speaks from the depths of their knowing.

You are not walking toward me.

You are already becoming me with every breath,

Every choice,

Every moment.

The gap between us is an illusion.

We are one being,

Experiencing different moments of the same journey.

Everything you need is already within you.

Everything you seek is already present.

You're not broken and in need of fixing.

You're whole and in the process of remembering.

The life you want,

It doesn't start when you achieve the goal.

It starts now,

In how you treat yourself,

How you make choices,

How you show up.

Be me now.

Act as I would act.

Choose as I would choose.

Embody me in this moment.

And finally,

Thank you.

Thank you for doing the work.

Thank you for showing up.

Thank you for not giving up.

Every difficult moment that you've moved through brought you closer to me.

I exist because of your courage.

Now,

Sit with all you've received.

Let this wisdom settle into your bones.

Into your cells.

Into your heart.

You don't need to remember every word.

The essence will stay with you.

Your future self stands and embraces you one more time.

Feel their arms around you.

Their absolute faith in you.

Their love for you.

They whisper,

I'm always here.

Anytime you need guidance,

Come back to this sanctuary.

I'll be waiting.

Slowly the sanctuary begins to fade.

You find yourself back in your body,

Sitting here in this moment.

But you're not the same.

You're carrying wisdom now.

You're carrying clarity.

Notice what you received.

What wisdom landed most deeply?

What do you need to remember?

What will you do differently now?

Take a deep breath in.

And release it slowly.

Begin to bring gentle movement back to your body.

Wiggle your fingers and toes.

Roll your shoulders.

Stretch gently.

Place your hands on your heart.

Take a moment to thank your future self for their guidance.

And thank yourself for being open to it.

When you're ready,

Gently open your eyes as you return to the world around you.

Let your awareness expand like ripples in water.

Carrying this wisdom into every area of your life.

Into every choice you make.

Into every moment of your becoming.

Your future self has spoken.

Now it's time to live what you've learned.

Thank you for practicing with me today.

I'll see you back here tomorrow.
