Visualize and Embody: The Power of Future-self Meditation

Meditation is a practice of focusing your mind on a particular object, thought, or activity to increase awareness of the present moment and reduce stress and anxiety. Transform the way you meditate and bring your future to life with our unique guided visualization meditation technique, Future-self meditation.

Future-self Meditation

Transform the way you meditate and bring future you to life with our easy-to-follow instructions for the 'Future-Self Meditation' technique.

Take your visualization meditation to the next level with binaural beats: Binaural beats are audio tones that help to create specific brainwave patterns for different states of consciousness. They can be particularly useful for increasing focus and relaxation during meditation. For this specific visualization meditation, we recommend using alpha binaural beats, which are known to enhance creativity, or theta binaural beats, which can take you deeper into the subconscious. You can easily find alpha and theta binaural beats with or without music on YouTube or other streaming services.

Find a quiet place to sit: This can be a comfortable chair, a cushion on the floor, or even your bed. Make sure you won't be disturbed during your meditation.

Set a timer: Start with 5-10 minutes and work your way up to longer sessions as you become more comfortable with the practice.
Play your chosen binaural beats: Play your chosen binaural beats on your headset or earbud to create the specific brainwave pattern for your Future-self Meditation.
Close your eyes and relax: Focus on each small section of your body from head to toes, making sure to relax all the muscles fully before moving on. Take a moment at the end to feel the space around your body, around the room, expanding out further and further to the vastness of space.
Imagine your future-self: Visualize yourself in the future, living the life you want to live. See yourself in specific scenarios, such as your dream job, your ideal home, or a happy relationship. Use as many details and senses as you can to make the visualization as real as possible. For instance, have conversations, drink coffee with inspiring people and tell your partner about the amazing day you had.
When your mind wanders, gently bring it back to your future-self visualization: It's normal for your mind to wander during meditation. When this happens, just notice the thought and then gently bring your focus back to your future-self.

As you imagine living as your future-self, with all the confidence, success, and happiness that comes with it, the 'Future-Self Meditation' technique allows you to experience this feeling in the present moment. By focusing on being your future-self, your body, mind, and heart are able to practice what it feels like to live that reality, and it feels pretty good. This technique is a risk-free way to test-drive your future, and if there's something you don't like, you can change it and create an even better one.

Bring your future-self to life with Future-self Journaling. After your visualization meditation, take the time to put into words the things you've visualized. This will not only make them more concrete, but it will also open up your mind to new possibilities and inspired ideas. Write down any projects, tasks, or thoughts that come to you, and watch as they take shape in your life. Future-self Journaling is the next step in manifesting your desired future and making it a reality.

Bring Your Future to Life with the Power of Future-self Journaling

The transformative power of Future-self Journaling is an absolute game-changer for self-discovery, personal growth, and manifesting your desired future. By hand-writing your Future-self Journal, you'll have the time and space to process all the inspired thoughts, ideas, and actions that come to you during your Future-self Meditation. By practising both Future-self Meditation and Future-self Journaling, you'll be able to bring your future-self into the present moment and make your dreams a reality.

Future-self Journaling

Ready to bring your future to life? Follow these easy steps to get started with Future-self Journaling:

Firstly, be sure to do the Future-self Meditation to really embody your future-self.

Stay in your quiet place and keep the same binaural beats playing: Your body, mind and heart remember the track and have associated inspired thoughts, ideas and actions for moving towards your future-self.
Write about your visualization: Reflect on the visualization you did during meditation. Ask yourself questions and write the answers to those questions. For example, what do I do every morning? How do I get to work? What project can I start today that my future-self will find useful/interesting/helpful? What tasks can I complete that would move me in the direction of this version of me? How can I be this future-self in my current location/job?
Write down your projects, tasks and goals: Write down specific and measurable goals, projects and tasks that align with the things you visualized inspired by the answers to the questions. Was there inspiration that would last for longer than 3 or 6 months? Try wording them as objectives, "I will <action verb> <noun> by <doing something>." For example, I will increase my chances of getting my dream job by researching job duties and rephrasing them as projects and tasks to complete in my current work and working on my CV.
Keep your journal private: Treat your journal like a safe space where you can be honest and vulnerable.
Review your journal regularly: After a few weeks, take a look back at your journal entries. You may notice patterns or themes that you hadn't noticed before. Reflect on your progress, and see how close you are to achieve your goals.
Write a plan of action: Based on your reflection, make a plan of action of the things you need to do to achieve your goals.

Bring your future into focus with the perfect combination of Future-self Journaling and Future-self Meditation. This dynamic duo will help you to clarify your goals and aspirations and create a roadmap for bringing them to life.
