Okay. So make yourself comfortable. And close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose. And hold your breath for a moment. And then slowly exhale. Release any tension. Do that one more time. Deep breath through your nose. Hold. And exhale slowly. Now imagine yourself in a peaceful, serene place, a place where you feel completely safe and at ease. It could be a lush forest, a tranquil beach, or a cozy room filled with soft lighting. Visualize the colors, the sounds, and the scents around you. Allow this peaceful environment to wrap around you, anchoring you in the present moment. Begin to picture a version of yourself five years from now. This version of you is vibrant and confident and radiating a higher level of consciousness than even the one you have today. See how this future self carries themselves. There's a calm assurance in their posture and a sparkle of wisdom in their eyes. This future you is clearly very awakened and you can see it in how you move throughout your future day. Now focus on your career and notice how your higher consciousness allows you to communicate effectively with friends or colleagues, inspiring creativity and working together with folks. Visualize yourself being a light of wisdom as you serve other people. Next, shift your attention to your relationships. Picture how this heightened awareness enriches your connections with all those you love. Imagine sharing laughter and deep conversations, feeling a profound sense of empathy and understanding. Your future self nurtures these relationships with kindness, creating a network of support and love. Now think about your day-to experience. Visualize your mornings filled with intention and gratitude. Imagine how your higher consciousness allows you to savor simple moments like enjoying your morning coffee, taking a mindful walk, or appreciating a sunset. Each day feeling purposeful and fulfilling. Now see your future self walking towards you. Feel the warmth of their presence as they approach. This version of you embodies all the qualities you aspire to achieve. This future you gently takes your hands and you can feel an energy exchange, a transfer of wisdom and insight. Your future self even speaks to you, offering some words of wisdom. Each day, your current self takes small steps towards your future highest self. You can feel your future highest self pulling you into deeper awareness, deeper heart, and greater consciousness. With each day, you feel lighter, more open to new possibilities. Imagine your future self showing you how to integrate these qualities into your daily life. suggesting such practices as a certain meditation or journaling or simply being present in the moment. Begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment and feel the ground beneath you, the air around you. Take a deep breath in and as you exhale, let go of any lingering doubts or fears. You are, in fact, capable of embodying your future higher consciousness right now. And as you gradually return to your regular life, remember that your future self is always within you, guiding and supporting you. And you can embrace the journey ahead, knowing that each step you take brings you closer to your highest consciousness. And when you're ready, gently wiggle your fingers and toes. And when you're ready, begin to slowly open your eyes and take a moment to notice how you feel, carrying the sense of peace and possibility within you into your day and your future. By the way, just so you know, that meditation was completely written by Chet GPT.

surprise surprise i i enjoyed it certainly um the funny thing about it was that i find myself alternating between envisioning my future self as some being that i'm seeing that i'm looking at and feeling like i am right now in this very moment yourself yeah and uh rightly or wrongly not not that one is better than the other although i assume that when we can really sense that we're we're there right now with all of these lovely qualities that that that may have uh extraordinary power to i don't know now i sound like a law of attraction person but i think there is some truth to it
Speaker 1
no
Speaker 2
not that not that no i admit I think there is a certain harmonic vibration that can occur when our minds are filled with things that are lovely, beautiful, positive, joyful, and that they can then attract similar experiences. And I guess that is law of attraction as much as I sometimes might look askance at it. Maybe today I'm not. I'm
Speaker 1
going to turn you into a new age groupie one way or another. It may take years, but that's my mission. That's my purpose.
