Okay,
I want you to take a deep breath in,
Feeling all of your lungs,
All of your alveoli,
All the way down to the base of your lungs,
And then releasing all that air out.
You should take a second breath in,
Breathing all the way in,
Thinking about all that oxygen going all the way to your bloodstream,
Getting that oxygen to your fingertips,
Your toes,
And then releasing all the way out.
Last one in,
Breathing all the way in.
All that fresh new oxygen all the way through,
And on your out breath,
Focusing on relaxing all those muscles in your neck,
All the muscles in your shoulders,
Relaxing your back,
Your tummy,
Your hips,
Your legs,
Your calves,
Your feet,
And all the way into the ground.
I want you to imagine that you are walking up a path.
It's an amazing path in a beautiful,
Safe,
Gorgeous place out in nature,
And you're following the footprints that have gone before you to a beautiful,
Ornate gate.
You open the gate and you step through,
And it's a beautiful clearing out in nature.
You notice the trees,
You might notice some animals.
You notice all of the herbs and all of the other foliage around,
But especially you notice the light.
It's got a special,
Magical quality to it.
As you notice the light,
You find something glinting off in the distance.
You head towards it,
Wondering what it is,
With curiosity but still feeling safe.
As you make your way over to the little glint,
It becomes lighter and brighter,
And you start to see a spinning orb.
That orb has an incredible,
Powerful light twisting and whirling around.
As you get closer,
You can see it's actually quite large,
Large enough to fit you in.
Staying curious,
You pop your hand out and it feels like a magnet.
You're drawn in and feeling a sense of joy and excitement.
You find yourself inside the orb,
This glowing bright light.
What you notice is a little exit on the outside of the orb.
You step through and as you look back,
Have a look and you can see that beautiful safe space and the orb is still there,
Waiting for you.
Turn back to the path and you walk down and what you see in front of you is your new place of work.
It's this new place that you've been dreaming about.
Might look different to what you're used to,
But this is definitely it.
Notice if it's a different door,
Or the same door with slight differences to it.
If it's an office or a larger space.
And as you get closer to the door,
You knock on it,
You open the door to find you on the other side.
But it's you slightly differently.
There's a calendar just on the desk in front of you.
It's actually you,
12 months from now.
The orb was a time machine and you are standing with you in 12 months.
Twelve months ahead you are so excited to see you and can't wait to show you around.
Can't wait to share with you all of the things that have happened in the past 12 months.
You head to the desk.
It's a reception desk.
It might be different to your current one.
You can see differences around it.
Take it in.
Notice what's exciting.
Notice what's different.
Then you follow you a little further in.
It might be a hallway.
Might be open to a different space.
But you keep following you,
12 months ahead you,
And you're noticing the differences in her.
What are the slight differences in her personality?
What are the slight differences in the way she holds herself?
What are the differences in the way she's presenting?
And what does she look like?
Is there a difference in her clothes or her shoes?
She takes you to the office and she is so excited to show you around.
Notice what's on the walls.
The sense of the colours,
The feeling,
The vibe.
She takes you to her desk,
Opens up her computer,
And is so pumped to show you all of the things she's been working on.
The projects,
The people,
Who you're helping,
Your messaging,
Your connections.
Some of the awards and certificates,
And even what's coming up in her schedule.
Notice when she opens up her timetable,
How it differs from your current one.
She's so excited to show you it,
But she knows you've got a limited time.
So on her way out,
She shows you all of the things that you've missed.
She tells you about the connections that she's made.
She tells you about her big wins,
And even some of the challenges that turned out to be big wins in the end.
And as you get back to the door,
On your way out,
She leans in for a hug and whispers in your ear just one piece of advice.
Take a moment to take it in.
Take a snapshot of what you see.
Take that feeling away with you.
And take that piece of wisdom with you as you say farewell.
You find yourself outside of your workspace now,
Back on the path.
You can see the glowing orb in the distance,
But you're filled with an amazing sense of possibility.
You can take that back.
You're walking up the path,
Getting closer to the orb.
As you walk closer,
You can see the entrance to it.
You pop in and you're surrounded by bright,
Glittery light.
It's extraordinary and it fills not only your outside,
But your inside.
Goes through all of your cells,
All of your atoms with a golden bright white light.
As it spins around you,
You start to notice there's an opening on the other side.
You go back through and you pop out to that beautiful opening and clear space.
And you go back through and open into that beautiful,
Clear,
Natural space.
That clearing has been waiting for you and knows that you're a different person to when you first went through.
As you walk through,
Taking in that beautiful,
Calm,
Safe feeling with you,
You're reminded that that gate is on the other side.
You walk towards the gate,
Opening it,
Turning around,
And you've got this place to remember any time you choose.
As you close the gate,
You walk back to that beautiful,
Safe space that you started at.
But you aren't the person that you started this meditation as.
You have new wisdom and it's in your cells and your DNA.
New possibility that you didn't even conceive of before.
And it's already being manifested.
It's already being created.
All you need to do now is step into it.
I'm going to take three deep breaths.
Wiggling your fingers and your toes.
Really coming back into the room.
And without rushing off,
Make sure you take the time to journal and write down those amazing moments you just had.
The wisdom,
The noticings,
The possibility that you're already creating for your future.
