\n\nHow to Do This Practice:
\n\n- \n
Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and visualize your ideal future self, the person of your dreams you\u2019ve always wanted to be. Try noticing as many details as you can: What color are you wearing, how do you feel, what are you doing, is anyone with you?
\nAnswer this question in your mind with 1-3 words: As you look at this future version of you, what energy do you need to cultivate more of in your life now, today, to become closer to being that person you see in your vision?
\nBreathe in deeply, and as you do imagine yourself breathing in that energy. As you exhale, imagine that energy spreading throughout your body and energy field.
\nOpen your eyes. \u200b\u200bRemember, you have what you need to become that which you want to become. We are enough to start stepping into the life of our dreams.
