Meet Your Future Self Meditation

This track is designed to ground in you the present moment and pay homage to all the versions of you that have gotten you to here before we embark on a journey of meeting our future self. You will be guided into a moment in time where you meet the next version of you, open the door to asking that version of you questions and receiving their wisdom. Then you will journey back to the present moment and be invited to see it through the eyes of your future self.

Transcript

Welcome to this future self meditation.

My invitation to you before we begin is to open yourself up to where your mind might pull you.

Let your imagination run free and give yourself the permission to play with reckless abandonment.

Think of this as a practice of coloring outside the lines.

It will help you push beyond the edges of where you hold yourself back by the constraints of what you know now,

Of who you think you are now,

And move beyond the day-to-day.

So with that,

Let's begin.

Inviting your body to settle into a comfortable and supportive position,

Your eyes softly begin to close,

Allowing your body,

Your mind,

And your breath to settle.

Can you take a few intentional breaths here to center,

To ground,

To land?

And as you begin to slow down,

Take a few more moments,

A few more breaths to create a little bit of space,

Between you and the busyness of your day-to-day,

The expectations you may come to this meditation with,

And the clarity that you hope to seek.

And with each breath,

You meet yourself here,

In this space between who you once were and who you're becoming.

This is what it is to be present,

And this is where our journey begins.

As you begin to deepen into this experience,

Into this moment,

Can you explore what it feels like to surround yourself fully and completely with the feeling,

The sense of gratitude?

Can you be grateful for all that was required of you to get you to this moment?

Can you let that sense of gratitude extend to all the identities that you've worn,

The experiences you've endured,

And the full range of opportunities that you've had?

Can you let that sense of emotion that you felt,

All the pieces that make up this version of you,

Letting any sense of judgment or not-enoughness soften,

And to be held in pure gratitude?

We begin this journey in gratitude for all that you are,

So that you can step forward with a sense of freedom from what has weighed you down.

And from where you sit in this moment,

Can you bring into your mind's eye a vision of you,

Standing in the midst of this moment?

Can you bring into your mind's eye a vision of you,

Standing in the midst of this moment?

Can you bring into your mind's eye,

A vision of you,

Standing in the midst of this moment?

Can you bring into your mind's eye a vision of you,

Standing in the midst of this moment?

Can you bring into your mind's eye a vision of you,

Standing in the midst of this moment?

Can you bring into your mind's eye a vision of you,

Standing in the midst of this moment?

Can you bring into your mind's eye a vision of you,

Standing before this beautiful pathway that leads towards a big white light,

A portal?

And as the vision becomes clear,

Can you see yourself slowly walking this path,

One foot in front of the other,

Towards the light?

And along this path,

You begin to see all the fragments,

The pieces,

The moments that make up who you've been.

All the versions of you,

All that you've experienced,

And all that you've endured,

All that you've tethered your identity to,

The masks that you've worn,

The labels you've been given,

That got you here.

And as you slowly step closer to the light,

Sending gratitude to who you've been until now,

Along the way you put down the things that have weighed you down,

Giving back the parts that aren't yours,

And stepping past the parts that you've outgrown,

Knowing that as you step towards who you're becoming,

There are fragments of you that will remain,

That make up your essence.

The common thread through each version of you.

And as you step closer to this light,

You begin to see the pieces that matter,

And those that fall away,

Which parts you may have given meaning to,

And where there may be none.

And when you feel like you've landed and grounded into the core of who you are,

The you that sits beyond identity,

Beyond experience,

You begin to walk yourself through this tunnel of light,

Letting its radiance,

Its warmth be felt,

Letting it cleanse you of anything you no longer need,

Of the parts that are untrue,

And the parts that are rooted in anything other than love.

You feel held by the warmth of the light as it comes to you,

As it guides you to the other side,

And what waits for you there is a glimmer,

A moment in time as your future self,

And while the specifics may be unclear,

Notice what stands out as you let your imagination immerse itself in this next version of you,

The version of you that waits,

The version of you that is confident,

Radiant,

And fully embodied.

The version of you you've been longing to meet,

And for a few cycles of breath can you drink it all in.

How that version of you moves.

How they are experienced by you.

How they express.

You notice the things that make up the identity of this version of you.

The subtleties.

How they carry themselves.

How they honor their heart.

You notice the values from which they live by,

And that course through everything that they do,

Everything that they touch.

And while the thinking mind may want to place this version of you in boxes of what it knows,

Let your heart absorb how you are being experienced.

The embodiment of you.

This version of you.

Can you begin to see yourself through the lens of curiosity,

Of wonderment,

Of newness?

As you immerse yourself in this scene of this version of you,

You see them walking towards you with open arms.

They've been waiting for you.

Upon their embrace,

They offer you a few sweet words.

In this exchange of,

I knew you'd make it here,

I knew you'd find me.

Can you breathe into the questions that you long to ask them,

The wisdom that you long to receive?

And can you be open to it?

Can you ask the questions that sit in your heart and leave the space to hear the answer?

And in this space that sits between you two,

Can you let them mirror back to you all that you seek?

They show you the path that will lead you to them.

And in this space,

You open your heart,

Your mind,

Your imagination to receive.

Can you get curious on where possibility is pulling you,

What it's revealing to you,

When you move beyond the constraints of your current life?

Can you let yourself sit in this open space to explore?

When you soften your focus on the quest for purpose and let yourself experience the feeling of homecoming as you welcome this next version of you.

Who will you have to become?

How will it require you to move?

What will it ask of you?

And in the final few breaths of this exchange,

Your future self offers you a gift.

A reminder for when you lose your way.

An invitation to remind you of your journey.

Taking a few cycles of breath here to drink in the last few moments of this exchange.

This scene that you have landed in.

This moment in time.

Who is this version of you?

And slowly you begin to turn back towards the tunnel of light you journeyed through.

Slowly walking yourself back to this present version of you.

Can you notice the subtle shifts of what you've witnessed that can't be unseen?

The doors to possibility that have been blown open.

And what stands before you now is the opportunity to step through.

You will be asked to see this world through the eyes of your future self.

And to disentangle from old versions of you.

As you slowly walk back towards this present day version.

The one that is sat here.

Anchored in presence.

And supported by all the versions of you that got you here.

Can you open yourself to receive?

To be?

And as we begin to close our journey,

Can you bring your awareness to the part of your body that is being supported by the chair,

The floor beneath you?

Getting a felt sense for that version of you that sits here today.

But seeing through the eyes of your future self.

What perspective shift might they offer you?

What would future you want you to see?

What would you like to see in your future self?

What would you like to see in your future self?

What perspective shift might they offer you?

What would future you want you to see?

What perspective shift might they offer you?

What would future you want you to see from here?

And can you move forward knowing there's been a tether between you and this next version of you?

And the job that sits before you is to step by step,

Breath by breath,

Move these two versions closer.

Taking a few breaths to land back into the present moment.

To anchor in to where your body sits.

Maybe you offer that version of you a few sweet words as we close.

Thank you.

I'll see you soon.

Whatever sits in your heart.

And once again breathing into that sense of gratitude from where we began.

Taking a deep breath to anchor it all in.

And letting it all go.

And my invitation to you as we begin to close this journey is to notice the shifts.

Become aware of where you sit.

And where you desire to be.

And maybe ask yourself what needs to shift for you to close that gap.

And when you lose your way can you come back to that feeling of gratitude from where we began.

For all that have gotten you to this moment.

Breathing in.

And out.
