Letting your eyes close,
Giving yourself the permission to go deep inside.
You are taking this time to explore your future.
There is no place you have to go,
Nothing you have to do.
Just allow yourself to sink in,
To let go.
You are taking this time to look at your future.
What you want to create,
Where you want to be in your life,
The kind of life experience you want to have.
So letting yourself sink deeply into a peaceful state of relaxation.
Your eyelids becoming heavier and heavier.
You feel your muscles of your cheeks relaxing.
Your lips gently parting as your eyes and your cheeks relax.
You feel your forehead relaxing.
All the lines of your face melt away.
You feel the stress and tension dissolve as your facial muscles seek in to a state of deep relaxation.
And with your face relaxing,
You feel the muscles of your scalp start to relax.
Even your brain relaxes.
You feel that relaxing feeling move down your neck,
Down into your arms,
To the tips of your fingers.
Both of your arms feeling heavy and relaxed.
With every breath in,
With every breath out,
You feel your arms relaxing.
Feel the rising and falling of your chest as you breathe in and out.
You feel your heart beating.
Letting your breath become deeper and slower.
You feel yourself swirling down,
Deeper down,
Into deep relaxation.
Your breath deeper and slower.
Your heart rate slowing down.
Feeling the warmth of relaxation spreading down your face,
Down your fingers,
And into your chest.
You feel the swirling,
Melting warmth of relaxation moving down your body,
Into your torso,
As your stomach and your abdomen relax.
Sinking deeper down into your hips,
Your mind becoming more and more still.
Peaceful,
Calm,
Relaxation.
You are letting yourself go deep inside,
Into a safe place.
A place where you can reflect and think about your future.
This is your safe place.
You could be in a garden or a meadow.
You find yourself sitting near a wise old tree,
Sitting comfortably.
You see that you are next to a still,
Cool pond.
And in the pond,
You see the sky reflecting upon the water.
This is your place.
Your safe place.
As you sit down near this wise old tree,
You make yourself comfortable,
Feeling the grasses beneath your body as you sit down.
Your legs start to relax more and more.
And you find yourself in a state of total peace,
Total security,
Completely and totally relaxed.
You listen to a distant bubbling sound of a stream that trickles into your still pond.
The sound of the water is soothing,
Relaxing you even more.
You gaze into the water,
Seeing the reflection of the sky.
You see the sun and the trees reflecting on the still glass-like pond.
Sometimes you see a disturbance in the water,
Causing ripples,
But then the pond goes still,
Again like smooth glass.
In the safe place,
You begin to contemplate your future.
You see your life 20 years from now.
What have you created?
What do you see in your life 20 years from now?
See your family,
See your career,
See and feel what you've created 20 years from now.
And as you see your distant future,
Notice what is important to you.
Why did you create this life,
This future?
Why did you create this life?
Now,
See yourself creating your future.
What sequence of steps and events need to occur so that you can create the outcome you desire in your life?
See those steps now.
See yourself walking on your path.
See the steps that you will take to create your future.
See that you can do it.
See that you can overcome any obstacle to create the future that you want in your life.
See yourself walking on your path.
See yourself taking the necessary steps to create your future.
See that you can do it.
See that you can create the life you want to have over the next 20 years.
Now,
Repeat to yourself the affirmation,
I can.
I can create this life.
I can.
Continue to repeat this affirmation of,
I can.
I can.
And as you see yourself acting and creating your future,
Affirm to yourself,
I act.
I act to create my life.
I act.
Now envision your future life one more time.
See the road,
The steps,
The events,
And the sequence of things you need to do to get to your future.
And affirm,
I can.
And now you begin to realize you've been looking at this crystal clear pond and you see the sun shining down,
Reflecting the light.
You see the sky and the clouds reflecting in the water.
You hear the birds and the trees singing above you.
You remember.
You remember you feel yourself lying in the grasses near your wise old tree.
As you feel yourself leaning against your wise old tree,
You begin to bring yourself back to this time and this place.
Bringing with you that sense of peaceful knowing that you can create your future.
You feel the rising and falling of your chest as you breathe in and out.
You feel your heart beating.
You hear the sound of your breath as your breath passes in and out through your nose or mouth.
You start to feel re-energized from this peaceful place.
You feel confident about creating your future.
Feeling more energized and more awake,
You begin to stretch.
Stretching your body.
Rotating your head.
Feel yourself waking back up as you stretch your arms and legs.
Bringing yourself back knowing you can create your life.
Walking up,
Welcome back to this day.
