Future Self Meditation By Ingrid LaFleur The following meditation is to help you align with your future self in order to bring balance and joy into the present. Find a quiet comfortable space to sit or lie down. Preferably meditate with a tourmaline crystal or rose quartz, or whichever crystal vibrates with you now. Place the crystal in the center of your palm or rest it on your forehead in between your eyes… Close your eyes Massage the base of your head and neck for 10-15 seconds As you massage, feel your body relax, feel your inner organs relax Stop massaging and relax Scan your body slowly to ensure all areas are relaxed Take three slow deep breaths, in and out In this mediation, our cosmic ancestors will serve as your guardians. It is within this cosmic space we will find our future selves. With your eyes closed, set your intention on the connection you want to make with your future self Take three slow deep breaths, in and out Focus on the space between your eyes, the third eye Let the darkness surround you Release and submit into the darkness With the soft focus on your third eye, imagine a portal opening up between your eyes right cosmic light ows into the portal Take three slow deep breaths in and out ith each inhale fill your body with the cosmic dark energy With each exhale release your negative energy, thoughts of fear, doubt, anger eel your body fill up with the strength of the cosmic light Let yourself feel superhuman Imagine you are sitting in front of your future self Look into the eyes of your future self and take a deep breath Feel the energy gather in your heart into a ball of light As you exhale, send your future self that light energy Watch the energy move into your heart, making it glow Inhale, watch the light move in your future self from the heart to the third eye.
