Hello,

Welcome to this meditation.

Today we're going to focus on your future self.

You're going to travel into the future and meet you in 20 years time.

So settle down,

Find yourself in a comfortable position and allow your eyes to close and begin by focusing your awareness on your breath.

Breathing in and breathing out.

Breathing in easily and effortlessly and breathing out.

Each breath allows you to become more relaxed and comfortable.

Outside sounds only allow you to go deeper inside.

A reminder of how good it is to leave the noise and the stress of the outside world and journey into the quiet peace of your inner world.

As you allow yourself to go into a deeper state of relaxation perhaps you can remember a time when you stood before a pond or a lake and it was quiet and peaceful.

You may have tossed a pebble into the centre and noticed the ripples spreading out.

One ripple after another.

Flowing outward.

Further and further.

The ripple slowing down becoming further apart until the water is once again calm and peaceful.

I'm going to invite you now to imagine that your body is like that body of water and as you drop a pebble into the centre of your body you can feel ripples of relaxation rippling out.

Waves of relaxation are flowing through your body.

Up through your torso into your chest and your back.

Up through the vertebrae and spreading out into each and every muscle of your back.

Through your shoulders and arms.

Up through your neck,

Your jaw,

Your face,

Your scalp.

Feeling those ripples relax you as your muscles let go and become soft and loose.

Feeling the ripples of relaxation flowing down through the bottom of your torso.

Flowing through your abdomen and your pelvis.

Down through your thighs,

Your calves,

Your ankles and your toes.

Know that each time you drop a pebble into the centre of your body you can become more and more relaxed.

And as you become relaxed you find yourself becoming more quiet and peaceful.

Now bring your attention to the spot between your eyes.

The third eye.

Imagine a light there.

What colour is the light between your eyes?

Imagine that light becoming a beam that extends out into space.

Follow that beam as it leaves this building.

As it travels above the city,

As it continues out so that you can view the entire area.

Keep going further and further into outer space and notice the curvature of the earth.

As you keep going further and further out you find yourself enveloped by the softness and quiet of space.

Notice the big blue-green ball below you with the white clouds whistling around.

Allow yourself to enjoy this perspective for a moment.

Now notice another beam of light very near to you.

A different colour from the one you followed into outer space.

Begin to follow that beam back down to earth.

The beam is taking you back to earth 20 years from now,

20 years into the future.

Keep following this beam down.

Notice the curvature of the earth and the geography stretched out below you.

As you come closer to the end of the beam keep noticing where you are.

This is where your future self lives,

You,

20 years from now.

Come into contact with earth and notice where you are.

Notice what dwelling or nature surrounds you.

Now move to the dwelling of your future self,

Your home.

What does it look like?

What kind of landscape does it have?

Are there trees?

Flowers?

What kind?

Get a sense of this place.

Walk to the door and knock on it.

The door opens and on the other side is your future self.

They are waiting to greet you,

20 years from now.

As the door opens what do you notice?

Greet your future self and notice the way your future self returns your greeting.

Welcoming you into this time and place 20 years in the future.

Take in this person,

Your future self.

What does this person look like?

Notice how this person stands.

What is this person wearing?

Get a sense of this person's essence.

Notice the inside of the building you are in.

What kind of person lives here?

What colours can you see?

Now move with your future self to a comfortable place for a conversation.

Perhaps your future self offers you something to drink.

Settle in and make yourself comfortable for a talk with your future self.

There are questions that you may want to ask your future self but begin by asking what is it that you most remember about the past 20 years?

Take a moment now to hear the answer.

Now ask your future self the following question What do I need to know to get me from where I am now to where you are?

What would be most helpful?

Listen to what your future self has to tell you.

Good.

Now take a moment to ask your future self your own questions.

What other questions would you like to ask your future self?

And now ask your future self one final question before you go.

What name other than your first name are you called by?

A special name.

It could be a metaphor or a symbol of your essence.

What is this name?

Bringing this visit to a close,

Thank your future self for being here with you today and sharing so much wisdom.

Now find your way back to the beam of light and journey back up the beam.

Watching this world of 20 years in the future grow ever smaller as you move out into space.

Again you see the ball of blue and green below you,

Clouds swirling around.

Notice that your beam of light has intersected with a different beam of light that will bring you back to this year and this location.

Follow this beam of light back to the present time on earth.

As you travel down this beam notice the earth growing bigger and bigger.

Moving further down the beam notice the geography of the area,

The skyline,

The landscape and finally come back into the room right here.

Good.

In a few moments I'm going to count from 3 to 1.

At the count of 1 you will be refreshed and alert as if you've had the perfect amount of rest.

Knowing you can remember everything you wish of this inner journey.

When you open your eyes please remain silent and jot down things you want to remember about your journey.

Coming back to present time becoming more alert and refreshed.

Stretching your body feeling the ground beneath you.

And 1 eyes open refreshed and alert.

Thank you for joining me in today's meditation wishing you a wonderful day ahead.

Namaste.
