A Zen Mind Guided Meditations - One Year From Now: Meditation for Motivation, Achieving Goals, & Clarity

Episode Date: May 7, 2025

⚡️ This meditation is a gift to your future self. During this practice, I’ll gently guide you through three powerful questions, as you envision yourself one year from this very moment. With each question, you’ll have time and space to reflect on anything that comes to you.  This meditation is all about returning to a state of clarity and focus. As we slow down and truly connect with our goals, we begin to uncover the steps, mindset, and habits we need to align with the life we’re calling in. During this meditation, you’ll have space to reflect with honesty, clarity, and intuition leading the way.  This is your time to set a clear, intentional foundation for your future - and give your future self the vision, direction, and belief they deserve.

Thank you so much for being here. And welcome to this guided meditation. This meditation is a space for you to seek clarity and alignment, to feel into the future that you are creating. A space to return to your goals and get clear on what it is. that you are calling in. Once your vision is clear, it becomes so much easier to move with purpose and to begin showing up as the version of you who already knows it's possible. Sometimes it's easy to lose that clarity and that focus. But during this practice, we will return. So take this time as a gift to

not only your current self, but your future self as well. So once you feel ready, get into a nice, comfortable position and making sure all distractions around you are silenced. And let's begin by taking a few deep and intentional breaths as we inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. and again inhaling letting your belly expand exhaling through your mouth letting your shoulders drop and letting your body relax and one more deep and filling breath in through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth releasing anything that does not belong to this space to this space to this moment and give your mind and your body permission to slow down and to gently come into this sacred space as you begin to turn toward your inner experience. Now in this space,

ask yourself this one simple question. If nothing was holding me back, what would my life look like one year from now. Give yourself permission to let the answer come naturally. Allow it to be detailed and to be specific, to be colorful, to be vibrant, and feel into it, connecting your mind to your emotional body,

becoming one with the experience of it. And just let this vision and let this answer set, into your body for the next few moments. In this next moment, let's focus on one simple goal. It might be something clear and specific, like a milestone or a leap of faith, or maybe a habit change. Or it might be something more subtle, like a feeling, a way of being, a lifestyle shift. Whatever comes up, trust it.

I'll ask yourself, what is one goal, just one, that would bring me closer to this version of myself and let that become the focus. Everything else can fade away for now. As you breathe into this and feel what it would be like to reach that goal, to accomplish it, to know that it was always possible and sit in that energy. And then bring your awareness to your current life, the habits, the routines, and the patterns that you repeat. And with this next question, allow yourself to be honest and to be vulnerable. Allow yourself to ask and answer this question not from a place of judgment, but from a place

of care, with honesty and with love, what needs to change in my life in order to move closer to that goal? There's habits or patterns that might be holding you back, or maybe there's trade-offs that are worth making. Take a few moments to reflect. And as you do, just allow the answers to rise without force and without any judgment. More clearly that you see where you're headed, the easier it becomes to move in that direction, it becomes easier to make choices that feel empowered and aligned, to identify and to release the habits or behaviors that no longer serve you, and it makes it easier to stop chasing and entertaining distractions that only blur your path.

When your vision is clear, your energy follows. And every small step begins to carry you one step closer to that version that you identified with in the very beginning of this meditation, the version of you one year from now, the version of you one year from now, the version of you, of you who already made it, who chose belief over doubt and action over hesitation. Take the next few moments to just reflect in all of this energy and allow it to become clear. Now let's seal this vision and this energy with a few mantras, repeating softly in your mind or out loud, my potential is limitless when I believe in myself.

I embody alignment on my goals, my purpose, and my desires is anything that is not aligned with my true purpose. And again, letting those words sink in. My potential is limitless when I believe in myself. I embody alignment on my goals. my purpose and my desires. I release anything that is not aligned with my true purpose. Once you feel ready, gently return to your center, taking another deep breath in and a full, complete exhale out, doing so with gratitude for all that you have and for all that is

yet to come, knowing that you are on the right path, and that you are exactly where you are meant to be, wishing you peace and love. Namaste.
