Welcome to this exercise in meeting your future self.
This exercise is designed to help you Find that arrow.
To point you in the right direction.
To meet the self that you have your highest potential of becoming.
Often it's easy to get lost in where we are or where we have been or to worry about A future that we don't want.
But this exercise will help you to get in touch.
With the you that lives in the future.
With your highest,
Best potential in life.
So start by settling in.
And taking a few deep breaths to ground yourself.
Noticing how you're arriving to this practice today.
And finding any spaces where you can soften.
In your body,
In your mind,
In your heart.
Finding softness and stillness wherever possible.
And as you soften,
Perhaps your eyes are closed.
You can start to imagine.
That you are walking on a path.
You're walking.
On a path in nature.
And it slowly becomes foggy.
Enveloping you in clouds.
That feel cozy but mysterious.
And as you walk,
Eventually,
You can barely see the path in front of you.
Suddenly there is a door that appears.
You look at this door and you know that on the other side of this door,
Is you.
Living your life.
In the future.
In the most expanded and radiant.
Way possible.
You take a deep breath.
Place your hand.
On the doorknob.
And open the door to a bright,
Light-filled world.
Take a step over that threshold and through that door.
Into this space.
Of beauty and radiance.
And see where you are.
Take a moment.
To orient yourself.
To this space.
And notice a little off in the distance.
Is you.
You in the future.
You in your most embodied form.
Observe this self.
And see what you notice.
What does this version of you look like?
What are they wearing?
How are they holding themselves?
And interacting with others.
Perhaps there are people around,
Or perhaps this future you is alone.
What are they doing?
And how are they going about doing it?
Begin to walk up to yourself.
And your future self notices you and starts to walk toward you to greet you as well,
Happy and excited to see you in this space.
Greet one another.
What does it feel like to interact?
These two forms of you.
Perhaps future you wants to have a conversation or show you something.
Allow them to lead you.
Where do you go?
What do you talk about?
This future you knows where you've been and understands exactly where you are in life right now.
They have so much compassion and love for you.
Allow them to share their guidance and their wisdom.
Perhaps this future you is sharing things verbally or maybe they're just allowing you to be in their presence so that you fully understand what it feels like to be them.
What does their life look like?
What activities do they do?
Who do they spend their time with?
What are their self-care practices and their self-love practices?
And what do they have to share with you about how you can get closer to embodying your highest self,
Your future self?
When you have spent enough time together.
It's time to say thank you and goodbye.
Share in whatever moment.
Of leaving feels best for the both of you.
Turn around and find that door again.
Walk toward it.
Breathing deeply.
And as you walk toward this door,
Know that the future you just experienced is yours.
It's not too far off.
It's not unrealistic.
It is made for you and meant for you.
As you reach the door,
Place your hand on the knob and open the door.
And with a breath,
Step through back into that foggy path.
Close the door behind you with gratitude and begin walking through the fog.
Allowing the cloud cover to lessen and lessen as you move forward.
Until eventually you are just walking on a clear path.
And then take a deep breath.
Feeling back into your present body.
Right here listening to this meditation.
And allow the visualization to fade away.
Notice yourself in this moment again.
What does it feel like to be here and now?
Notice your toes and your fingers.
Notice your breath.
And slowly,
As you are ready,
To end this practice.
You can take a couple of deep breaths.
And if you'd like to stay in this meditation space,
You can keep your eyes closed and remain here,
Or if you're ready to go about your day.
You can blink your eyes open.
And greet the world.
Ready to step into the version of you that you now know exists and is waiting for you.
Feel free to revisit this practice whenever you need a reminder.
And know that your future might look a little different every time.
Because you change,
You get closer,
And you adjust what it is that you're searching for and ready for.
Thank you for listening.
Have a beautiful day.
