💫 Meeting Your Future Self: A Guided Visualization for Wisdom and Clarity 🌿

Lisa Hopkins, Wide Open Stages Season 15 Episode 2

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!

Doorways to clarity await in this transformative guided meditation that connects you with the wisdom of your future self. 

The journey begins in a quiet, safe room—your inner sanctuary of possibility. With each breath, you're guided to open windows, inviting fresh air that symbolizes the clearing of mental clutter and stagnant energy. As light floods in, notice how your body responds to this spaciousness, this invitation to expand beyond current limitations.

Around you stand several doors, each unique in appearance and representing different potential paths forward. Which one calls to you? Which sparks curiosity or feels alive with possibility? There's no right or wrong choice—only the wisdom of your intuition guiding you toward what resonates most deeply. As you step through your chosen doorway, you encounter perhaps the most powerful guide available: your future self.

This visualization creates a bridge between who you are now and who you're becoming. Your future self stands before you with ease in their expression and light in their eyes, offering guidance and reassurance that transcends your current challenges. The message may arrive as words, images, feelings, or simply a knowing presence—whatever form it takes, it carries exactly what you need in this moment.

The practice reminds us that clarity isn't found by adding more to our lives but by creating space for wisdom to emerge. Windows can always be opened; doors are always waiting to be chosen. What message does your future self have for you today? Take these ten minutes to discover the guidance that already exists within you.

Speaker 1:

Hey there, today's meditation is a guided visualization which is designed to help you create space. Create space for clarity and possibility by connecting with your future self. We'll begin by opening windows to invite in fresh air and light, symbolizing a clearing of old energy, and then you'll notice the doors around you, each one representing a potential path forward. You'll be invited to choose a door and step through, where you'll meet your future self and receive a message of guidance or reassurance. So, when you're ready, find a comfortable position seated or lying down and gently close your eyes and allow your body to begin softening into stillness. Begin softening into stillness. Take a deep breath in through your nose and sigh it out through your mouth on the exhale One more time, inhaling fresh air and exhaling any tension, any weight that you don't need to carry right now. Allow your breath to find its natural rhythm, steady and calm. Now I want you to imagine, imagine yourself standing in a quiet, safe room. This is your space peaceful, filled with possibility. Imagine that the windows are closed and, with each breath, picture yourself moving to them one by one. As you gently open the first window, fresh air rushes in cool, clear and energizing. Open another, and then another, and again another until the entire room is filled with light and fresh air. Breathe in the clarity, feel how the air moves through you, cleansing and clearing space inside as well. As you look around, you notice several doors in this room, and each one is unique different color, a different shape, a different texture. Each door represents a potential path forward in your life. Some may feel more familiar and others mysterious. Notice how your body responds as you look at them. Which one of these doors sparks curiosity? Which one feels alive with possibility? When you're ready, allow yourself to walk toward the door that calls to you most strongly in this moment. There's no best choice here. There's no wrong or right choice here. Simply listen and be guided by your intuition, allowing yourself to walk slowly toward the door that calls to you the most strongly, that calls to you the most strongly. Rest your hand on the handle and take a breath and, on the exhale, gently open it. Step through.

Speaker 1:

On the other side, you find yourself in a space where your future self is waiting. This is you, maybe six months from now, or a year or even more into the future. Notice how future self stands, how they carry themselves. See the ease in their expression and the light in their eyes. Take a moment to greet them. You're free to ask what do you want me to know right now? Right now, you may choose to ask what guidance do you have for me or what reassurance can you offer? Listen deeply to their message. It may come as words, as images, as feelings or sensations, or simply just a sense of presence. Breathe in and embody their message. Take a moment to feel what this feels like and to connect with your future self in gratitude, thanking them for their wisdom, knowing that you can return to them anytime you wish.

Speaker 1:

As you turn back, walk through the door and find yourself once again in your room the windows still open, fresh air still circulating and light still pouring in. But notice how different it feels now. Notice how you feel now. It's a powerful reminder that we have everything within us that we need and that. Take a deep breath in now, holding at the top and then sighing on the exhale. Exhale. Begin to bring gentle awareness back to your body and your surroundings. Wiggle your fingers and toes and, when you're ready, softly open your eyes, smile, knowing that this inner wisdom is always there to guide and support you. Carry the clarity of this experience with you, knowing that the windows are always there to open and the doors always waiting to be chosen. Namaste, my friend.
