Allow yourself to take deep abdominal breaths.
Allow the breath to flow without force.
Feel your self begin to relax as though you could drift away.
With your inner eye, “see”, sense or imagine that you are in a place that you find very relaxing. It could be the beach or the mountains.
Feel and sense this location in as much detail as possible without straining to think about it.
See or sense a wall of fog or smoke in front of you.
It appears dark and cloudy to you. The wall is an illusion.
You notice something forming in the wall. It is a figure, a form of a person.
You are curious but not afraid. The figure passes through the wall.
You recognize the figure as yourself, but somehow different.
You sense a lovingness, a completeness, a sense of fulfillment radiating from this being.
She or he is dressed perfectly, hair and clothing immaculate, radiant smile, radiating unconditional love for you.
She or he takes your hand and escorts you toward the wall.
At first you may feel hesitant or afraid, but he/she reassures you and you feel safe with him/her.
You wonder what is on the other side of the wall.
You have always been afraid to go there, but you trust this being.
She/he wishes to show you your highest potential.
She/he escorts you through the wall.
As you walk through the wall you begin to see the vision of yourself achieving your greatest potential, fulfilling all of your dreams and achieving things you never even thought to dream of.
Notice what you are doing.
You may ask to explore different aspects of your life; your home, your family, your career, gifts, talents, abilities, relationships, etc.
You begin to feel this new sense of awe, of excitement, adventure.
Your heart fills with joy; you feel this great sense of fulfillment and purpose.
You now understand your life purpose and come away with a renewed sense of meaning and purpose in your life. It is now time to return.
This guide, which is you, escorts you back to the wall you initially crossed through. But the wall is no longer dark and cloudy. It is transparent and you can see though it.
You thank your future self for this wonderful journey.
She/he tells you that she/he is always there to help guide you toward your highest future potential, which already exists now.
She/he thanks you for taking this journey with her/him and tells you she/he has one more gift for you. You feel his/her essence merge with yours.
You have now become one with the essence of your fullest potential. You return through the transparent wall and find yourself back where you began with a deeper sense of purpose and direction in your life.
Take a few slow, deep abdominal breaths and begin to feel your body.
Wiggle your fingers and toes, feel your hands and feet.
Do some light stretching of your arms and legs. Slowly open your eyes.
Journal your experiences. Write down what you “saw” with your inner eye, felt or sensed, “heard” or noticed, and any thought impressions that came to your mind during this process.
How do you feel after this exercise?
How does this compare to your feelings before this exercise?
If you decide to do this with a group, feel free to share your impressions with the group, but do not feel obligated to do so. Your experience is individual and personal.
