Meet the person who will be your future mindfulness meditation and visualization guide with a self-guided approach. Embrace Your Life's Purpose! Realize Your Potential! Follow Your Dreams!
Psychologists have discovered that people are not very good at predicting their futures, not because they cannot, but because they do not. This phenomenon is due to the fact that very few people spend much time imagining their future selves!! Instead, we assume that who we are now is who we will always be.
It is the same thing to have a personality as it is to have a comfort zone. Uncertainty will enter your life when you step outside your comfort zone. You're going to make mistakes. You'll have setbacks along the way. Anxiety and frustration are likely to accompany your experience.
While intentionally stepping outside of your comfort zone to create the life you want, you will learn and grow as a person. You will have many deep learning and peak experiences as a result of this intentional growth and development.
In psychology, psychological flexibility refers to the ability to maintain one's current identity and emotions while pursuing meaningful goals in an uncomplicated manner.
During this meditation, you will have a positive, deeply relaxing experience of meeting your future self. As you seek and discover answers to your most important life questions, allow your subconscious, or higher self, to guide you along the way.
Here are the steps to imagining and becoming your desired FUTURE SELF:
- Imagine who you want to be
- Journal about who you want to be
- Decide who you want to be in 3 years from now
- Create a morning routine where you get up, get yourself into the right environment without distractions, and activate your future-self mindset
- Invest money into your future self—whether that be courses, skills, mentors, or experiences.
- Change your environment to match your future self—including the information, food, people, and experiences—as you create a future that you know is yours.
The bolder your action toward your future self, the more emotionally flexible and evolved you will become. The more emotionally evolved you become, the less constrained you’ll be by your past or your circumstances.
This meditation experience may be repeated as many times as you wish to reinforce your positive intentions and access the more profound wisdom of your higher self. May you continue to discover your highest waking potential under the guidance of your own inner wisdom.
Regular listening to this session is encouraged and recommended because it will help compound positive suggestions and your own positive results.

beautiful forest that is lush and green. The
00:02:20.099 --> 00:02:28.930
air is fresh and gently blowing. You can smell
00:02:28.930 --> 00:02:36.830
the scent of the forest. It's crisp and natural.
00:02:40.789 --> 00:02:45.069
Maybe a rainstorm passed by recently that you
00:02:45.069 --> 00:02:56.800
can sense. This is your forest. and you are completely
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:05.199

you. Look around and notice the details of your
00:03:13.900 --> 00:03:22.340
forest. You can see the leaves on the trees.

00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:55.530
It is welcoming and mysterious. Go down this
00:03:55.530 --> 00:04:00.129
path and see the scenery change as you walk.
00:04:02.509 --> 00:04:07.330
There are birds flying overhead and landing in
00:04:07.330 --> 00:04:15.550
the branches. You can hear their song as if they're
00:04:15.550 --> 00:04:33.860
singing just for you. There are little mosses
00:04:33.860 --> 00:04:42.360
and rocks around the forest floor. Little bugs
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:48.100
are moving around on fallen logs, helping with
00:04:48.100 --> 00:05:00.329
the decomposition of the wood back to soil. There
00:05:00.329 --> 00:05:06.370
are unique mushrooms growing in places Some are
00:05:06.370 --> 00:05:13.290
delicate and colorful And others are large and
00:05:13.290 --> 00:05:22.670
dense You come up to a big tree that has a little
00:05:22.670 --> 00:05:28.449
door in the base This door is a portal into the
00:05:28.449 --> 00:05:34.170
future So open this lovely door and go through
00:05:34.170 --> 00:05:39.550
it. On the other side you find yourself in front
00:05:39.550 --> 00:05:47.449
of a clear and pristine lake. The water is still
00:05:47.449 --> 00:05:52.930
like glass and you can see far to the other side
00:05:52.930 --> 00:05:59.269
of the lake in the distance. Soaring up into
00:05:59.269 --> 00:06:09.389
great mountains dusted in snow. Sit down beside
00:06:09.389 --> 00:06:16.110
the lake and listen. The serene sounds of nature
00:06:16.110 --> 00:06:30.139
are so inviting and nourish your soul. Far in
00:06:30.139 --> 00:06:34.660
the distance, there is a beautiful red canoe
00:06:34.660 --> 00:06:43.220
floating in your direction. You can see there
00:06:43.220 --> 00:06:50.000
is a figure in the canoe, shrouded in green colored
00:06:50.000 --> 00:07:03.920
clothing. You can sense the goodness of this
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:10.860
individual. The boat draws to the shore where
00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:15.319

00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:23.939
ease. It is you. Your future self is radiating

with confidence and peace. They sit down with

00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:46.620
water together. Now listen to the important information
00:07:46.620 --> 00:07:50.920
