Two weeks into the New Year is the perfect time to visualize exactly what you want your life to look in twelve months time, writes Sonia Friedrich.
Here’s a question – how would you like to be living your life, in twelve months’ time?
With New Year just around the corner, 2015 seems like the perfect year to get life back on track. Have you ever really stopped to listen to the deep yearning of your soul?
Each year many of us pull out a piece of paper and write numerous resolutions and goals. The pressure starts before we even begin. Many are based on what we believe we are meant to do or what others tells us. They are not based on what we truly desire. Feeling pressure around them is a sure sign something is not right. When true you will feel inspired, in-flow, self-love and a return to energy and life force. Of course you might feel some nervous excitement too as you finally allow yourself to live what you want.
This guided visualisation will give you a clear picture of the life you would truly like to be living in 12 months’ time. Know you have every reason to live it.
Ask a person you trust to help
While it is possible to do this exercise on your own I suggest that you ask a close friend or partner to guide you through it. Alternatively you can record the visualisation and listen back. Where possible voice record your answers to ensure you capture everything. Often the small details can have the biggest impact on your life. Otherwise write out your answers.
Find a place where you will not be disturbed, where you can relax and feel comfortable. Ask the person to guide you slowly and deliberately. They are not to comment on any answers, they are simply here to facilitate a journey for you and to respect and create your sacred space.
Visualisation – Your ideal life in twelve months
Close your eyes and be comfortable. Relax and breathe. Let everything go. Release any tension you are holding. Take another deep breath. As you breathe, focus on your heart. Feel yourself return to your heart and reconnecting with your soul. All your answers lie here. Rest in the deep love you have for yourself.
There is a reason you are here on the planet. You have a definite purpose. You are meant to live this purpose. It is a calling from within that is waiting for you to hear her / him. You sometimes feel anxious or fractured because you are not living aligned to your calling. However now you are going to listen clearly and commit to hearing your call.
You are standing outside and see an elevator. Walk towards the elevator and press the button to go down. When the doors open go inside. On your left is a panel of buttons. Press the button for minus seven. You are going down seven floors. When the lift doors close, you wait patiently and feel relaxed. You have travelled down seven floors. The doors open and as, you see a garden. Notice everything you see. Take a moment to absorb it all. Where are you? What are the trees like? How is the air blowing? Notice the sky, the flowers, the scents, the sounds, what is on the ground? See the birds and butterflies. This is your sacred garden. In front of you is a chair. You move towards it. Notice how you walk. Is it slow, fast, or do you run? What is your energy like? You sit on the chair and take a breath. This is your magical chair. When you sit on it, here you connect to your soul and your sacred self.
Imagine it is twelve months from now. You have had an amazing year and you are very grounded in everything that you have achieved. Everything you have wanted has come into your world. Your dreams effortlessly came true. Your confidence is restored and you trust and believe all of who you are. You no longer question anything you desire. You trust the universe. You have found your purpose and for the last 12 months you have lived it. What does your life look like? Share every aspect of what you visualise. What are you doing for work? How is it manifesting? Who is in your work life? Who else do you see? What are your relationships like? Who else is in your world? Where are you living? What do the surrounds of your home look like? Has anything inside or outside changed? How do you spend your leisure time? Who is there with you? How are your finances? What are you doing for spiritual growth? Is there anything else that is happening in your life.
See everything in as much detail as possible. Ask for further clarity if you need.
When you are finished take a deep breath, relax and come back to your body. Open your eyes. How do you feel?
Know this is the picture of your life you are meant to live 12 months from now. You can.
