Meeting Your Dream Older Self

Door Jan Russell

Wat je zal leren

This course is for anybody. If we are fortunate, we are always ageing, yet sometimes this reality brings apprehensions and uncertainty. The objectives of this course are to support you to address any such apprehensions, and to provide you with tools and approaches which enable clear and positive thinking, firing your imagination to create the best older self that you can. The course draws on evidence based research and mindful practices, and is practical, spiritual and creative, using the power of the waking dream to influence outcomes and support holistic health. You can expect to go away with a greater understanding of how imaging and deep thinking influence outcomes: a consideration of how to challenge myths and social messages around ageing; methods to take agency along your journey into your future self; an understanding of how you can create and affirm the dream of the self you desire to meet in your future. May you enjoy.

Creating The Dream: Stepping Into Your Future Self

This lesson is a practice to enable you to envision, experience and step into the future self that you want to be. It is a guided mindful waking daydream and stimulates the mind and body to create your own possibilities, seeking opportunities within the realities of your personal life and situation. When you have the multi dimensional model of your preferred future self, a mental hologram, you are enabled to step into it and embody all that this means for you. You can practice this daily to rehearse and internalise the best possible state to enable your best older self.

There were helpful thoughts to consider as I continue on this human path. At 75, my main frustration has been with not being able to physically do that which I want and feel must still attempt though it is getting easier to let some things go and be kind to myself. Thank you for this course and your work which is a valuable resource for me. ☮️🧡💐

I enjoyed each day of the practice. The hologram was very real to me. I could see myself then I found the affirmation so helpful. I am certainly going to look into another course. Thank you.
