Reflecting On A Positive Future

Here’s a Sample of the “Reflecting On A Positive Future” Guided Meditation Script:

Let's begin by taking a moment to allow your body to settle.

Find a comfortable position
that allows your spine to be long but with a natural curve in the low back (2 seconds).

You can close your eyes or keep them open with a soft gaze downward a few feet in front of you (2 seconds).

Let the belly and shoulders relax (5 seconds).

Today I’ll guide you through a practice to envision a positive future.

It’s a chance to connect with that place inside us
that wants to work toward a life of meaning and fulfillment (2 seconds).

This is a useful way to consider how we care for ourselves and others (2 seconds)

and how to show up at our best to meet life's challenges (5 seconds).

Before we start, take a full breath in (2 seconds)

and a long breath out (5 seconds).

Now allow the breath to find its natural rhythm (2 seconds)

in and out (2 seconds)

allowing yourself to be fully present resting on the breath (20 seconds).

I’ll provide you with questions to prompt ideas and responses
that can help to find a positive future (2 seconds).

Throughout this practice, let your body and mind feel loose and open (2 seconds).

Repeat the questions I offer silently and to yourself (5 seconds).

Resist the urge to problem-solve
and see if anything comes up on its own organically (2 seconds).

If nothing comes to mind you can always continue to rest your attention on the breath
until something comes up (10 seconds).

Let's begin (5 seconds).

Ask yourself, “what kind of a future do I feel deeply moved towards?” (10 seconds)

Notice the thoughts, feelings, and images that come to mind (5 seconds).
