Thank you for your interest in the mindful movements, guided visualization to design your dream life.
I am sarah raymond, and I will be your guide today are you living? The life of your dreams? Are you happy with your life and the direction you are going? My guess is not entirely or you wouldn't be here, or maybe you are happy, but you just want more for your life.
Maybe you feel like something is missing or you're ready for a change.
Whatever your reason I am glad you found your way to this visualization and exercise lao-tzu once said, if you do not change the direction, you may end up where you are heading before.
We believe the life of our dreams is possible.
We first must have an idea of what it looks like today's.
Practice is a guided visualization to help.
You design a life that you love and take the steps to fulfillment and satisfaction.
This practice will give you an opportunity to design your dream life and clarify your values.
You will begin to develop positive habits and live intentionally.
And you can connect with your authentic self.
And let go of resistance.
Let's start now with this guided visualization find a comfortable place where you won't be disturbed for the next half hour or so open your mind and your heart to the possibilities of a life of your dreams.
We will begin by letting go of tension and holding in our physical body.
So we can let go of holding on to expectations judgements or being attached to specific outcomes in our mind.
When your body is relaxed, there is space for possibilities to arise.
You can more easily connect with your authentic self.
I, invite you to make yourself comfortable making any subtle adjustments to your body to soften close your eyes and bring your awareness - the automatic process of your breath while noticing your breath begin to look inside yourself for anywhere.
You can let go of the tendency to hold on let the weight of gravity, sink into your body to deepen your relaxation, give in to the support beneath you allow relaxation into your body and peace into your mind.
Once you are calm, you can connect to your heart and invite the version of your wisest and truest self to come to the surface as your truest self.
Surfaces, I will guide you to relax, even more deeply begin to breathe intentionally more fully and count your breath.
Your inhale is one.
And your exhale is two counting up to 10 and then back down again, stay with your breath, count and allow your mind to begin to calm allow your breath to relax to its natural rhythm.
And let go of the counting with a relaxed awareness, look for any areas of your body.
You can relax from the inside are there any places within you that you can soften since the soles of your feet, release as well as your toes, the tops of your feet and ankles allow this release to move up to your calves, your knees, your thighs and your hips continue to soften your stomach, your back your chest and your arms.
Welcome this relaxation to linger and extend at the area of your throat and neck as well as over your entire face, your jaw and your scalp to feel complete ease in your body.
Look for relaxation, without the need to control allow ease to move over your body when it comes in its own time.
So it's, not forced as you become relaxed.
I will guide you through a visualization.
This practice is not about perfection.
Things may not feel aligned with the life of your dreams right now and that's.
Okay, simply work with what you have and begin to move towards what you want.
As you.
Imagine this ideal life, you may see vivid pictures in your mind, or you may find emotions arising within you, perhaps you have specific answers to some of the questions, or they may come later, connect with everything that is coming up for you today and open your awareness to possibilities as they arise in the future.
Now, in your imagination begin to visualize your ideal life, see with as much detail as is available to you.
How does this future? Life? Look? What are you doing? What are you feeling in this ideal life? Who are you spending your time with if you could not fail? What would your ideal self? Look like see? What your typical day would look like in your dream life in vivid detail? What feelings and emotions do you want to have more of in your life? What are the values and beliefs that are important to you visualize both the outcome and the process to get there without getting attached to either all it takes is a thought to make a change.
You can change your life.
The moment you decide to change you choose to live life, how you choose to live life.
You are not the sum of your circumstances.
You are the sum of your choices choose to live in alignment with what is truly important to you.
These feelings from your dream life are already within you.
You can choose to call upon the feelings anytime you can create any life.
You want your dreams are within your grasp when you choose to reach connect with what is showing up for you now breathe that in as you connect with your authentic self, the self that is deep within you, you can make choices that will align your life with what's most important to you when you intentionally choose more of what feels good and less of what doesn't situations and life events will feel right and offer more joy, you'll experience, a sense of flow in your life.
You might have a sense of profound clarity, stay with this visualization of your dream life, a little longer connect with your authentic self.
And any feelings that may be coming up for you now and now bring your awareness back to the surface.
And since the room around you once more invite in a deep cleansing breath, filling up with the possibilities of new and breathe out fully letting go of old habits and negative beliefs, take a moment to honor yourself.
And the time you have spent here today as the first step in the creation of the life of your dreams know that aligning your life and your decisions with your authentic self is a big part of creating the life of your dreams.
When your life is aligned with who you are deep down inside you let go of resistance and invite in the ease and flow of life's energy.
This alignment brings a clear purpose and fulfillment to your life commit to reconnect to your needs and desires make decisions aligned with your values, and this will design your dream life choose to nourish what feels good to you I.
