One of my favorite ways to connect with my intuition is to pay my future self a visit. Manifestation meditation can be a powerful experience for getting really clear on what it is you want and need. Future self takes it a step further by introducing you to yourself X number of years in the future. Future Self = Higher Self. They are always with you! This 17-minute visualization will help you get to know them so you can call on them whenever you need their wisdom.

Namaste and welcome to this guided meditation from Luminous Leanings to help you lean toward the light.

Today we're going to pay our future selves a visit.

This guided visualization is very helpful if you're having trouble accessing your intuition,

Your inner wisdom or higher knowing,

And maybe you have some questions you'd like answered or you just want to manifest a certain outcome for your life.

I find this particularly helpful for when I want to connect with that higher self,

That part of me that knows better than the rest of me,

The part of me that connects to my body wisdom,

Body intelligence,

A true deeper knowing that's connected to the universe,

To my highest good and to the kind of person that I wish to become.

So first it's very important to find a comfortable seat with your spine energized yet relaxed.

Just make yourself really comfortable.

We're going to be here for several minutes.

And the first thing I want you to do is decide how far in the future you would like to visit yourself.

I find it's best to do a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 30 or 40 years.

So now that you've decided how far in the future you'd like to visit yourself and at what age you will be that many years from this moment,

We're going to begin.

So take a deep breath in through your nose and fill your lungs completely.

And sigh it out.

Again in through the nose and sigh it out.

One more time in through the nose and sigh it out.

Now with your eyes still closed,

Turn your head to the right towards the wall to the right of you.

And imagine these elevator doors appear on your wall.

You stand up and walk toward the elevator doors.

They open.

You step into the elevator and you see a dial next to the door with the year,

The current year on the left and the year to which you wish to visit on the right.

And you make a conscious choice to turn that dial from the left to the right.

The doors close,

The elevator begins to lift.

You lift up,

Up,

Up through the roof of your building,

Through the clouds.

You can see yourself below in this guided visualization.

You're soaring through the clouds and finally the elevator comes to a stop.

Ding!

The elevator doors open.

You see your future home ahead of you just beyond the doors.

What does it look like?

It calls to you,

It draws you out of the elevator until you're standing right outside the front door.

How does it feel to be here on the edge of meeting your future self?

You walk right up to the door and knock three times.

The door creaks open slowly and you come face to face with your future self.

Notice how you look.

How has your face changed?

Your body?

What is your energy like?

What is your style and has it changed?

How does it feel to be in the presence of your future self?

Your future self has a huge smile on their face and beckons you to come in,

Come in.

I've been waiting for you.

We have so much to talk about.

You are completely welcomed into this home.

Look around as you step through the threshold.

What do you see?

What is this environment like that you've created for yourself?

What is the energy like?

Is it modern and sweet?

Or cozy and comfy?

What color are the walls?

What is the quality of the light?

How have you decorated?

What smells do you smell in the house?

Is it cooking or candles?

What sounds do you hear?

If you could describe your future home in one word,

What would it be?

Is anyone else home?

Your future self wraps you in a big warm embrace.

What do they smell like?

How does it feel to be hugged and welcomed by your future self?

Now your future self offers you something to eat or drink.

What is it?

How does it feel to be nourished by your future self?

Your future self leads you to a back room.

What does the room look like?

What is this room used for?

Take a seat and get comfortable.

Your future self sits opposite you as a mirror image.

They lean in and look deeply into your eyes in a very tender present moment of attention.

First,

Ask your future self what would you like to be called?

It can be very helpful to come up with a nickname for your future self that you can refer back to later.

What would you like to be called?

After your future self answers,

They ask you,

I know you have a lot of questions.

What do you want to know?

Now you are going to have a conversation with your future self.

Imagine them sitting across from you,

Listening intently to all of your questions and wait for their response.

Go ahead.

What do you want to know?

What do you want to know?

What do you want to know?

What do you want to know?

What do you want to know?

What do you want to know?

What do you want to know?

Begin to wrap up your conversation with your future self.

Make sure you've asked them your big important questions.

You both stand up and hug each other.

They tell you some parting goodbyes and you say your goodbyes.

They lead you back down the hall toward the front door.

Open the door and as you step through the threshold,

They say,

Wait,

There's one thing I want you to know and to remember more than anything else.

What do they have to tell you?

You take their message of wisdom into your heart and promise them you will try your best to remember what they've told you.

You thank them again and give them one last hug.

You turn to leave and they close the door behind them.

You walk away from the house where the elevator doors are waiting for you.

They open again.

You step back into the elevator and turn the dial back to the current year.

The elevator doors close and begin its descent back down through the clouds to the roof of your house where you can see yourself below in this guided visualization.

As the elevator comes to a stop,

It dings again and the doors open.

You cross the room back to yourself and sit down into your space in the current present moment.

Sharing all that you've just experienced,

Grateful for your future self and their wisdom with the promise in mind to remember what they have shared with you.

Take another deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.

Slowly blink your eyes open.

You can remember your future self,

What they look like,

What they feel like,

What their home is like and what they had to teach you throughout your days.

It can be helpful to ask yourself when faced with a certain challenge,

What would my future self do in this situation?

Your future self after all is your intuition.

It is always with you,

Guiding you to become the person you have just met.

Dear one,

I wish you well.

I wish you success at connecting with your intuition and your future self on a regular basis so you can embody the life of your dreams.

Go in peace.

Namaste.

By far one of the most beautiful meditations I've done in a long time. It was much needed and brought me to tears from much needed self-compassion that my present self has been struggling with. I will absolutely revisit this meditation again to get in touch with my intuition. Thank you ☺️💕
