Welcome to this guided meditation session where today we'll be meeting your next level self.
As we begin,
I invite you to find a comfortable seat in a position and a place where you know that you won't be disturbed for just the next few minutes as we spend this time together.
Sit in that comfortable position and gently close your eyes.
Sink down into your body as you take a few deep breaths.
Moving your awareness from your head and all the swirling thoughts and concerns and worries and moving that awareness down into your body,
Into your physical being,
Into this space that you occupy.
Notice in your body where there is any tension or stress and what feelings are present.
And as you notice those things,
Ask yourself what you can do to make yourself a little bit more comfortable or release a little bit of that tension or to let go of that unwanted feeling.
Ask yourself what you can let go of and then go ahead and let go of it.
And as you're in this comfortable space,
Consciously relaxing your body and your mind,
You can call up an image in your mind's eye.
And for this meditation,
We will be in a place that is peaceful and serene and comfortable to you.
So for me,
I'm at the beach.
I'm in a quiet,
Secluded beach.
There's no one around and I know I'm perfectly safe here.
You might be at the beach or in the woods or in a comfortable room.
Wherever you are,
Whatever space you're going to be in for this meditation,
Just know that you are perfectly safe.
Choose a place that feels perfectly safe to you and know that it is safe for you to relax completely in this space.
Let yourself feel that.
You can continue to take deep breaths and to relax and let go of any new tensions or any new sensations that arise.
Just finding yourself as comfortable,
Peaceful,
Calm and expectant as you can be.
Because in this space,
You're actually waiting for someone.
You have an appointment and it's just about to start.
And that appointment is with your next level self.
So you're waiting with expectation,
A little bit of excitement,
Wondering who this person is going to be,
Who is going to walk through the door or approach you on the beach.
Who is this version of you that's somehow next level?
And as you're here waiting,
A sound,
A gentle sound,
Lets you know that you're not alone.
You look up and open your eyes and you see yourself walking towards you.
And there's a smile on the face of this person.
And as he or she comes and sits down next to you,
They extend a hand towards you.
And you place your hand in theirs.
You sit there with your next level self,
Not speaking,
Just looking into each other's eyes with a soft,
Gentle smile on your face.
And as you look at this person,
This version of you,
You start to notice,
You notice things about their features.
You notice the way they hold themselves.
Notice all those little things about them that make them so familiar and also so inspiring.
You might notice a confidence,
A comfort in their own skin,
A self-assuredness.
You might notice that they are just so peaceful,
So serene,
So unruffled by anything that could be possibly going on around them.
You can't help but notice the beauty,
The radiance that comes off of them.
And it's not that they don't have any flaws.
When you look closer,
You see the same quirks that make you you right now,
Scars or habits or just little things that might annoy you about yourself as you are today.
Notice that your next level self,
Well,
They're just like you in so many ways.
Take that thought in and that feeling and let it comfort you.
As you gaze into the eyes of your next level self,
You know that this version of you is attainable.
And it's not attainable someday when you have a better job or more money or a different partner or a bigger house.
This version of you is attainable as soon as you make the decision to embody that confidence,
That peace,
That self-assuredness,
That pure love and joy that radiates from that next level version of you.
As you continue to sit with your next level self,
Let that version of you and all of the traits and qualities that you desire for yourself for someday in the future,
Let them dissolve into you right now.
Let them pass from your next level selves hand into your hand and into your whole body,
Your whole being.
As you absorb the confidence,
The peace,
The love,
The joy,
The integrity of the next level version of you,
As you feel all of those beautiful qualities absorb into your body,
You notice,
You become aware that you are alone in this space,
This safe space that you're in.
It's just you.
It's always just been you.
And you understand and you feel in your being and deep in your soul that everything you need to be whatever version of you you want to be is already within you.
You can choose for today,
Just for today,
To let that confidence or peace or love or joy or all of the above,
Whatever it is that you want,
You can choose to let it shine through you today.
As we close out,
You can come back into the room,
Blink your eyes back to awareness and let a smile settle on your face as you prepare to head out into the day with whatever new quality you are ready to bring with you.
