Life Timeline Meditation

This is a quick meditation to take you through the ages from childhood, the present moment, to far in the future. It's a way to reflect on our past selves and see what we used to love, what we still love and don't do. But it's also a way to visualize our future selves with all the things we'd like to do, have, be.

I take a deep breath in and if it's a safe option for me now, As I breathe out I close my eyes. I take another deep breath in and together with the air I let go any tension from my body. I take a third deep breath in and as I breathe out I relax my mind. Just for a moment I don't have to think about anything. Now I see an image. I see myself at my earliest memories. So I'm around 4 or 5. I see that picture. What am I doing? How am I feeling? How I look like? I imagine a timeline. It starts then. The middle is where I am now and the end is far in the future. I want to fill in the stops from my earliest memories to where I am now. I don't want to label any successes, Any failures, Any memories. I just want to peek randomly moments from my life and see them and see how I've grown. I don't want to reflect on any events. I don't want to think about any goals accomplished or not. I pick another age. One I can vividly remember but I don't want to think about the reason why I remember it. I just pick the age. Again, How do I look? Where am I? How do I feel? In the next stop, I am around 15, 16. How do I look? What do I do? How do I feel? What did I love to do when I was 15? What did I love to do in the previous stops? In the next stop, I am 18. I am an adult. How do I look? How do I feel? Where am I? What do I do? What do I love to do? I pick a few more stops until the age I am now. Again, I think about every stop. How do I look? How do I feel? What do I do? Where am I? What do I love to do? And I come to now. How do I look? What do I do? What do I love to do? Where am I? Do I do any of the things I loved to do when I was younger? Do they still matter to me? And if they do and yet I stopped doing them, Why? Can I start again? Can I start again today? From all the ways I've grown, Which one is my favorite? From all the ways I haven't grown up, Which one is my favorite? Now looking vaguely in the future, In my future selves, From any potential future selves I could have three, Five years from now, How do I look? What do I do? What do I like to do? Where am I? Assuming that Friday is a feeling, How will I experience some more Friday on Monday morning?
