This is really great for the first of the year as a review and a planning tool, but it's also fantastic any time throughout the year that you're feeling like you need to really get re-established with who you are and what's truly important to you.

This is the Meditation Minis podcast with your host, hypnotist, Shell Hamilton.

This meditation is based on the book Five Wishes by Gay Hendricks.

It's a shortened version of those five wishes and done in a guided way.

Go ahead now and close your eyes and take three deep breaths,

letting out a little sigh on the exhales,

signaling to your body and mind that it is time to relax,

to unwind, to check in on the inside.

And as you finish up those breaths, just allowing the sound of my voice to make any

effort at all that it takes, I'd like you to imagine yourself walking down a path, a path to

someplace that feels really beautiful and safe for you. Maybe you're walking into a glade in the forest,

or maybe you're making your way down a cliffside to the beach.

Or maybe it's a campfire someplace, or you're walking downstairs to a room in your home or home in which you grew up in. There's no right or wrong here. Just go with

whatever feels best for you, walking down that path or those steps to a safe place where you can

kick back and feel safe to reflect and relax.

And as you arrive in that place, making yourself comfortable,

maybe noticing the colors that you would see are the sounds or the way it smells,

getting a sense of the safety wrapping itself around you.

And I'd like you now as you sit in that safe place in your mind to imagine yourself going very quickly forward in time to you in the last moments of your life.

And as you're in those last moments of your life, I don't know how old you picture yourself

being or how it feels, but as you're in those last moments, looking back on the life that

you lived, ask yourself, what is my biggest regret?
