Meditation examples:

• Meditate in a quiet peaceful area & invite your highest future self to sit down with you. Imagine what they say to you, how they feel, what they look like, how they behave, what their facial expressions communicate. Don’t go in with a laundry list of things to ask them, just be open and ask for their powerful guidance. The point is to merge yourself with your future self. Listen to their message, it should be uplifting, affirming and helpful, not negative.
• Imagine your current self talking to a past self 3,5,7 years ago. Should be recent enough that you can relate to this person but far enough that you’ve changed. Imagine sitting down in a place you used to go to a lot or live in, then imagine you’re giving your past self pieces of your current life and all the information they need to go from that person to the person you are now. You can hand them car keys, email, bank account information, an outfit, instructions on what to do for your career, day to day habits, etc.
• Close your eyes and re-enter a memory. Really feel the experience & find the feeling in your body where you become uncomfortable. Follow the feeling and ask it show you where it started from. Then superimpose a new narrative to your younger self who experienced this memory in order to start the process of letting go. Imagine that you (a wiser older self) is imparting some wisdom to your younger self. Give the specific instructions why that this is absolutely for the best and although they can’t know it yet, there is another experience that is far far better in store for them. Who does this younger self need to call, what do they need to begin doing, and what they need to stop doing? Impart that wisdom to your younger self. Imagine telling yourself that everything is going to be ok. Their fears are largely unfounded and good things are coming, and life will turn out good in the end. You can’t change what happened in the past, by shifting your perspective you can change how you arrive now. You can change the story, and you can change your life.
