This meditation has the language of turning towards our future self.

And what that really means is the future self is the most evolved expression of who we are.

It's really how awake loving presence lives through this body mind when it's fully manifested.

If you prefer other language, you could say your high self or your true self.

So we begin by imagining or visualizing our being when we're really manifesting love and presence, this future self or high self.

And you might imagine 5, 10, 20 years ahead whatever feels right, how you're more evolved being appears.

And by that I mean you might start by sensing where you are.

Are you someplace inside or maybe in a natural setting that resonates with who you're becoming?

So if you're at all visual, you might visualize it or get a felt sense of some place where your future self is.

And if you're visual, you might sense even what you're wearing if there's a certain color or kind of clothing

that expresses something about you.

There may be something nearby, a favorite book, poetry, a painting, maybe a dog, a plant.

There might be certain music playing, anything that is an expression of who you are becoming.

But mostly sense how your future self's wisdom and love expresses through the eyes, face, posture, with hands are.

So see if you can sense energetically your own being when your heart's really awake.

You can explore now bringing a current life challenge to your future self.

Just bring something that's going on right now that's difficult, maybe something that's hard to forgive in yourself.

Learn someone else or feeling a failure.

Something that's a struggle that maybe has to do with addictive behavior or something you're really afraid of.

Some loss that you're facing, some conflict.
