Welcome to your future you visualization meditation.
Taking a moment to find yourself sitting comfortably,
Either on the floor or on a chair,
Or you can also lay down,
Making yourself comfortable,
Noticing the backs of your legs,
Feeling supported,
Your feet on the floor,
Taking a deep breath in and just settling into this moment,
Giving yourself the gift of this present moment,
Breathing in and breathing out.
Let the day go,
Let any stress,
Tightness or tension go with that exhale and breathe in.
On the next inhale,
I want you to invite your vertebrae to stack one on top of the other,
Creating more length from the top of your head to the tip of your tailbone and then exhale,
Find the softness,
Relax,
Release into that.
On the next inhale in,
Stacking up those vertebrae,
Stretching that spine up and then exhale,
Relax,
Release.
One more time,
One nice deep breath in,
Inviting your shoulders to roll back,
Your shoulder blades coming towards each other,
Giving more room for your breath in the front of your body and then exhale it out.
Now just letting your breath return to a nice natural breath,
Enjoying the space,
Enjoying a little more room for your breath,
For energy to move in your body.
Your hands can be resting face down,
Palms down on your lap or up facing up and as you continue breathing normally,
You find yourself walking outside.
You're outside in a beautiful location,
Wherever it is,
It doesn't really matter but it's just this perfect place for you.
Maybe it's in a city park or in a rich,
Deep,
Old,
Ancient forest walking on a path or maybe it's a path close to a beach where you can hear the sound of the waves crashing.
As you walk,
You feel a gentle breeze against your skin and you feel the warmth of the sun as well.
You hear the sounds of life around you,
Whether it's water,
A gentle breeze through the leaves and the grasses and maybe you hear the sounds of kids laughing and playing in the distance.
It feels perfect and magical and just lit up amazing and you enjoy this time,
This walking,
This steady pace and as you walk,
You're walking along this trail,
This path and you don't feel like you have any place to be.
You're just enjoying your time right here,
Right now,
Taking in all the sensations as you hear,
As you feel,
As you see,
As you smell those sounds around you.
Your breath nice and steady and even and as your gaze lifts further ahead,
Down this path,
You see up ahead that there's a home and this home is beautiful.
It might be big,
It might be little,
It doesn't really matter what it looks like.
What matters is how it makes you feel.
You feel the sense of anticipation,
The sense of excitement rising up in you because you know that home is your destination for today and you can't wait to go in there and see it and be there and just see what is waiting for you there.
So you continue walking nice and steady on this path but your steps become more light,
More buoyant as you feel this magnetism,
This beautiful anticipation pulling you forward on the path towards this destination and as you walk towards it,
As you get closer,
You can see that there's someone outside waiting for you and you can see that there's a big smile on that person's face and it's almost like the sense of love is radiating from them and you can see it and you can feel it and this magnetizes you towards the destination even more.
You can feel that love radiating from them towards you,
Pulling you towards them and as you get even closer,
As you approach this home,
As you approach this person,
You can see that this person waiting here for you is a version of you.
This person waiting here is you,
Just two to three years older than who you are now and you walk up to this you,
This version of you and the two of you hold each other's hands and you take a look at each other,
You take each other in and you notice everything about future you.
What does it feel like to be with future you right now?
What do they look like?
How would you describe their essence?
How would you describe the way they are in the world?
Just take it and feel it,
Sense it,
All your senses are open and activated and then future you asks you if you'd like to come in and see the house and of course you want to check out this house,
You want to see every little bit so you follow future you in and future you takes you room by room and as you go through every room you explore letting your fingers feel the fabrics on the furniture,
You notice the art on the wall,
You hear some sounds of life,
Maybe they have a little water feature or there's a dishwasher running in the background,
You just notice these sounds of the home and you can smell that they have some coffee going and maybe something baking in the oven,
You notice these details,
You hear,
You see,
You smell,
You touch,
You move through the space room by room taking it all in.
If there's an upstairs you and future you check that out,
If there's a downstairs you check that out as well and if there are any outdoor spaces that they want to show you,
You see those as well and you take it all in and it feels just so good to be there,
It feels like home,
It feels safe,
It feels inviting,
It feels like a place you could hang out endlessly and maybe you invite some special people to be there as well and so you walk through room by room and then future you asks if you'd like to see the space where they do their work and of course you want to see where they do their work so they take you in and as you cross the threshold of the space,
Maybe it's indoors,
Maybe it's outdoors,
Maybe it's a proper office or a studio,
Whatever it is,
As you walk in your heart skips a beat,
Your breath catches,
It is just perfect,
It's lovely,
The lighting that's coming in feels so magical,
The way they have everything organized makes perfect sense and you can see yourself in there doing work,
Creating,
If you meet with clients maybe that's where you meet with them or if you create maybe this is just a place for you to do your most special and sacred creations,
Maybe this is the space where you just are able to be in quiet or a place where you can be loud and expressive,
Whatever it is,
Is perfect for you and as you look around the space you see a section on a wall that has a bunch of snapshots that have been taken of future you and they've been taken in the last two to three years and you walk up to it,
A smile on your face as you look at all those images from the last two to three years and you've taken all those different snapshots and notice what they consist of,
Their places that future you has been,
Different milestones future you has hit and different things that future you has celebrated and you take it all in knowing that all of these and more and others are possible for you,
So just breathing into that knowing that this is available to you and then future you invites you to sit and have tea or coffee and all your favorite snacks and the two of you sit together and catch up and it feels so wonderful talking,
Sitting there with future you and the two of you share about what's been going on in your life and future you asks if you have any questions for a future you and of course you do,
You've got so many questions,
Your mind is going just a million miles a minute,
How did future you get to where they are now,
You want to know all the answers and of course you and your wisdom know that some of the answers will come with time but there are some questions you really need answers to now to help you find peace,
To find encouragement,
To help you find clarity and start by looking at future you and noticing what's different about future you and if you'd like to pause this audio to do any journaling at any point you are welcome invited to do that,
Noticing future you,
What do they believe,
What do they prioritize,
What do they do that's different than what you do now,
How is future you being that's different than how you're currently being,
What does future you believe about their work and what's possible that's different than what you currently believe and what advice does future you have for taking the next step with your work,
With your healing journey,
With your relationships,
In any areas of your life,
What advice does future you have right now and what does future you need you to do differently to get to where they are now,
What's something you're doing right now that's not serving you,
What kind of leader do you need to be to get to where they are,
What do you need to prioritize,
What else,
What does future you believe about their health,
What do they believe about relationships and about community,
What does future you believe about money and what else does future you want you to know right now,
They tell you easily and effortlessly and the wisdom may come in words,
It may come in images,
It may come in feelings,
Whatever it is just letting it in and then you may have specific questions for future you and this is a great time to write out any questions you can,
You can pause this audio at any point,
What questions do you have for future you,
What do you want to know,
What is pressing on your heart,
What's burning you with curiosity and interest,
What would you love to know and you ask future you,
What is the one next step you can take to get towards where they are,
What's the one next step you can take even today,
What's the one next step you can take,
What's the one shift you can make,
What's the one belief you can take a new look at,
What else do you want to know and what else does future you want you to know right now and you take it all in and as you take in all of this,
The biggest thing you take is this feeling of encouragement,
This feeling of knowing you're on the right track,
The feeling of knowing that so many things are possible and available to you because they are possible and available and a reality for future you right now and this future you is something that you created,
You created this future you,
Right here right now you created this future you,
So because you created it,
You created them,
You know this is possible for you because you create your reality through one choice,
Through one action,
After another,
After another,
Just keeping making small actions,
Small baby steps day by day,
Just knowing that this future you or even better is inevitable for you,
So taking that all in and as you take it in you just are so ready to get back to your day because you feel lit up,
Excited,
Ready,
So encouraged,
You know that you are capable of everything that future you has discussed today,
You might not know exactly how to do it all but you trust in your capability to figure it out and your ability to be resourceful and your ability to take one small step and then another,
So future you walks you back to the front door and gives you this tremendously beautiful bear hug and you feel this incredible warmth radiating from the heart of future you and you feel this love,
This vibration of love coming into your body from future you and it's shifting you at a cellular level,
You feel your body shifting,
Feeling this love changing you at every part of your body,
Changing your bones,
Changing your hair,
It's changing your health into one that is full of love,
You are love,
You move with love,
You think with love,
You create with love and you take this all in and future you gives you one last radiant smile before you turn and head back down the path,
Feeling lit up,
Feeling so alive as you continue on the path again at your nice steady perfect pace,
Your breath nice and even,
Enjoying the day again even as you feel so lit up,
So excited about what's next for you,
Just taking this time to process,
Taking this time to let it in,
To become this future you,
To breathe like future you,
To move like future you,
You are already,
You created it in your mind and you are choosing it with every step as you feel that Sun on your skin,
That gentle breeze as well,
As you hear the sounds of water and maybe some breeze through the leaves and the grasses,
You hear your feet on the trail,
Your nice steady rhythm as your feet take one step and then another and another and as you continue to walk you also feel this incredible warmth on your back and you know that warmth is the love being radiated from future you to you and future you has got your back anytime you want to come back to this,
To this place,
Future you is here for you to encourage you,
To give you wisdom,
To help you find your way again and again and again,
So taking a deep breath,
Coming back here right now to your seat,
To your laying down wherever you are,
Giving your fingers and toes a little wiggle,
Taking a full deep breath into your body,
Finding more space in your lungs,
Stretching your arms,
Stretching your legs,
Stretching your head,
One ear towards one shoulder and then the other,
Gentle neck rolls,
Gentle shoulder rolls and you're welcome to give yourself a full body stretch,
Really bringing in this future you into this moment and taking future you with you as you step away from this moment and into your day,
You are future you,
They are with you,
They are a part of you now,
You've got this.
