Welcome.
I'm so glad you're here.
My name is Natalie and this meditation came to me during a time of deep transition.
A threshold where the past felt complete and the next chapter was just beginning to reveal itself.
I realized something important.
I wasn't late.
I wasn't running out of time.
I was standing in the perfect place for what was next.
This meditation is for anyone who has wondered if they've missed their moment or felt the pull to create,
Dream or begin again,
No matter how much life they've already lived.
May it remind you that your wisdom is alive and radiant and that the best of you is not behind you.
It is unfolding now,
Right here,
In this moment.
You don't have to wait for permission,
For the right conditions or for the perfect plan.
Everything you need to begin is already inside you,
Ready to be felt,
Known and lived.
So,
Take a breath with me.
Let yourself feel the air move in and out.
You are here and that is enough.
Let your awareness rest on your breath.
No need to change it yet.
Just notice the coolness of the inhale,
The gentle warmth of the exhale.
Now,
Slowly deepen the breath.
Inhale through your nose,
Letting the air fill your belly.
Exhale through your mouth,
Releasing tension,
Releasing the urge to hold.
With each breath,
Feel more of yourself arriving into your body.
Notice the weight of your hands resting,
The texture beneath you,
The subtle temperature of the air on your skin.
If there is any place that feels tight,
Heavy or tired,
Breathe into it like a soft light.
If there is a space that feels open or at ease,
Breathe with gratitude into that space.
Feel the ground beneath you.
Steady,
Supportive,
Unmoving.
Let your body rest a little more into that support.
Take another couple of gentle and deep breaths.
There is nowhere else you need to be.
No other moment you need to reach for.
You are here and everything begins from here.
With your breath steady,
Let your awareness open.
Maybe you are noticing that the space around you is changing.
The air feels alive,
Carrying the scent of earth after rain,
Or maybe warm sun on leaves.
There is a golden light here,
Soft and warm,
As if the afternoon is holding its breath for you.
Beneath you,
The ground is solid.
You feel it through your feet,
Maybe their skin on moss or the gentle crunch of leaves.
Every step you take connects you more deeply with the earth.
This is your path.
It has always been here,
Even when you couldn't see it.
It's been waiting for this exact moment,
The one you are in now.
As you walk,
Something catches your attention.
A presence is beside you.
Now,
This presence may take the form of an animal,
A being of light,
An elemental presence or a symbol from your dreams.
There is no effort needed to meet them.
They are already here.
They meet your gaze with warmth,
As if they've known you forever.
They carry no urgency,
No expectation,
Only the pure reminder of who you truly are.
You sense a message in their presence.
Now,
This message may come as words,
As a feeling,
As a colour or even as a single image.
Let yourself receive it now.
Your guide now gestures towards the space just ahead.
You notice a clearing bathed in that golden light.
It might be a circle of trees,
A sunlit glade,
The edge of the ocean at golden hour.
A mountain peak with a wide horizon.
Whatever it is,
It feels deeply familiar,
Like home in a way that you just can't explain.
At the centre of this space,
Someone is waiting.
As you draw closer,
You recognise them.
It is you.
A wiser,
Fuller,
More radiant version of you.
Their eyes hold the depths of everything you've lived and the joy of everything still to come.
They rise and embrace you.
This contact feels grounding,
Steady,
Real.
You feel their calm entering your own body,
As if you've borrowed their peace.
You both sit,
Your guide standing close by.
Your future self smiles.
Not with judgement,
But with a knowing love.
When they speak,
It feels like the words come from inside you.
You may ask them now,
What do you want me to know?
Let whatever comes,
Words,
Sensations,
Visions,
Land gently in your heart.
There's no rush to understand.
The knowing is already yours.
You are ready.
Thank your future self.
Thank your guide.
And feel how,
Even as the scene softens,
Their presence remains.
They are still here,
In the same breath you are taking now.
Your guide and your future self have words for you now.
They don't need you to repeat them or hold on to them.
Just let them arrive.
Let them move through you like light,
Settling into your breath,
Your body,
Your life.
You'll hear each one more than once.
Sometimes from your guide,
Sometimes from your future self.
They may sound the same,
Yet feel different each time.
Like light catching a jewel from a new angle.
Receive them all the way in.
Let's take a few breaths to make sure that we are fully present with your guide and your future self.
I am exactly where I need to be right now.
You are exactly where you need to be right now.
I am exactly where I need to be right now.
I am in perfect timing for what is unfolding.
You are in perfect timing for what is unfolding.
I am in perfect timing for what is unfolding.
Every step I've taken has brought me to this moment of power.
Every step you've taken has brought you to this moment of power.
Every step I've taken has brought me to this moment of power.
My dreams are alive within me,
Ready to be lived.
Your dreams are alive within you,
Ready to be lived.
Your dreams are alive within you,
Ready to be lived.
I no longer measure myself against the world's timeline.
You no longer measure yourself against the world's timeline.
I no longer measure myself against the world's timeline.
I honour the season I am in and the one arriving.
You honour the season you are in and the one arriving.
I honour the season I am in and the one arriving.
I am living deeply in my truth,
Here and now.
You are living deeply in your truth,
Here and now.
I am living deeply in my truth,
Here and now.
I am free to be all of myself,
Without waiting for approval.
You are free to be all of yourself,
Without waiting for approval.
I am free to be all of myself,
Without waiting for approval.
My presence is enough,
My timing is sacred.
Your presence is enough,
Your timing is sacred.
My presence is enough,
My timing is sacred.
My higher version is here,
Taking form from within.
Your higher version is here,
Taking form from within.
My higher version is here,
Taking form from within.
I trust the rhythm of my life and I trust myself.
You trust the rhythm of your life and you trust yourself.
I trust the rhythm of my life and I trust myself.
Begin to notice your breath again.
The steady rise and fall.
The way the air feels as it moves in and out.
Your guide is still here.
Your future self is still here.
Their presence is part of you now,
In this body,
In this moment.
You may gently move your fingers and toes.
Roll your shoulders.
Take a deeper inhale and a soft releasing exhale.
Everything you've experienced,
The path,
The meeting,
The words you heard is alive within you.
Not as a memory to visit,
But as a living truth to walk with.
You can open your eyes whenever you're ready.
Knowing that you are already in the next chapter.
You are already the one who received those words.
And as you move through the rest of your day,
Your evening or your night.
You may feel the quiet strength of your guide beside you.
And the radiant knowing of your future self within you.
You are not running out of time.
You are not behind.
You are here.
And this is exactly where you are meant to be.
I will leave the music to run for a little bit longer.
Just in case you want to stay in this bubble of presence.
Sending you much love and many blessings.
