Welcome. This meditation supports the Stage Eight task of designing your future. In the last task, you found your purpose. Now that you know your purpose, its time to design a life that makes your soul sing. This should be a fun and joyous exercise and one you will want to revisit often. At this point, your ideology should be principle-based and therefore stable, your emotional baggage is largely unpacked and you are likely ready to focus on fullfillment and purpose rather than ego and impulse.
Posture
Take a moment to get comfortable. You can sit or stand or lay down. It’s doesn’t matter. You can close your eyes or keep them open. Do what works for you.
Presence
As always, be aware of the emotional roots of your choices as you make this design. Be sure to design from a place of peace, love, joy, adventure or other positive emotions so that the result will multiply those for you.
Take a slow deep breath. Let it out like a sigh of relief. Be at peace. You are here now. Take another slow deep breath, and this time, send it out slowly, consciously, with purpose, all the way. Be at peace. You are here now. Pause and repeat these breaths until you feel relaxed and at peace.
Journey
Let’s begin. What does your ideal life look like? Be very very specific and brutally honest about your ideal life, even if it sounds unreasonable. Many things are easier than you think. We are just daydreaming here.
What does your daily schedule look like? Walk yourself through your ideal day?
Where in the world are you? BE there. What is the weather like?
What is “work” in your ideal life?
What does your life FEEL like?
What kind of relationships do you want?
What role does money play in your life? How do you want to feel about money?
What kind of experiences do you want to have?
Your ideal life may not look like something your family or friends would approve of. It may not look like the standard definition of success that we are all handed in school. That is OK.
Return to your vision and go deeper… what do YOU want… what does your SOUL want? Be in your truth here.
Do not design the life that you were told to want. Design the life that makes your soul sing. What do you want… the you that has always been… the you at the core of your being that was sent here with lessons to learn and gifts to offer.
Return to your vision now and go deeper… feel what it is like to live that way.
Design the life that makes your whole being burst forth with energy and makes your heart feel full to overflowing.
Return
When you are ready, bring your awareness back to your surroundings. Notice how you feel. Take this feeling with you and return to it often to make yours life happen. Write it all down. This is key. Then, for each element of your ideal life, research what it would take to make it happen. Don’t take any one person’s word on the matter. Study it from all sides on your own, and talk to as many experts as you can find. Then, start making it happen.
