This practice is about giving your nervous system a new destination.
We are training your body to recognize a future of peace,
Purpose,
And health as something that is already within your reach.
Before we begin,
Think of what you want your future to look like.
Your health,
Your lifestyle,
How you feel and how you respond to the world around you.
Take note of what that version of you would look like.
Act like.
Feel like.
And keep it with you as we go through this process.
Find the comfortable position.
Take three slow,
Deep breaths.
Visualize your peaceful place.
And the feeling that comes with it.
Feel the color you have chosen for this feeling.
Filling your body.
Imagine you are sitting in a comfortable private movie theater.
Before you is a large screen.
A film begins to play.
On the screen.
You see a version of yourself.
One year.
Five years.
Or even 10 years from now.
Watch this future you.
Move through their day.
Notice the way they carry themselves,
Free of the weight of the past.
Notice the way they speak,
Clearly and effortlessly.
Notice the sense of calm in their eyes.
Watch how this version of you interacts with others.
And moves through the world free from the past.
Spend a moment just observing this person.
In a moment,
I will count down from three to one.
On one,
You will step out of your seat,
Walk into the screen,
And merge with that future version of yourself.
3.
Getting up from your seat.
Too,
Feeling the pull of that future you.
1.
Step into the screen.
Become that future version of yourself right now.
Look out through their eyes.
Feel the weight of their feet on the ground.
Notice the sensation in your body.
Feel the specific color of this feature.
Let it wash over you.
Stay with the physical feeling of being this person.
As you stand in this future life.
Notice what emotions are present.
Perhaps it is confidence,
Belonging,
Or empowerment.
Or just simply feeling at peace.
Hold your physical anchor firmly.
Touch your thumb and forefinger together.
Touch your knee,
Whatever you choose.
As you do,
Imagine a bridge of light connecting this future version of you.
To the person sitting in the chair right now.
Tell your body,
This is a real destination.
This is where we are going.
Focus on your heart.
Watch the glow of your chosen color expand with every breath,
Filling the movie screen and the theater,
Until there is no more distance between you and your future.
Take a deep,
Clearing breath.
When you are ready.
Gently let the image of the theater fade.
But keep the physical sensation of that future self in your heart.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Open your eyes.
As you go back to your day.
Remember that you are no longer what happened behind you.
You are moving toward the person you just saw.
The path is open.
And it belongs to you.
