[0:00] Hey everyone, Thiago here. Today I'd
[0:03] like to share with you a guided
[0:04] visualization, a meditation that I've
[0:07] been using for some years to think about
[0:10] and plan for the future. Place yourself
[0:13] in an environment that you're going to
[0:15] be able to be present and to really go
[0:18] deep inside. Somewhere quiet, for
[0:21] example, in a room or in nature or
[0:25] somewhere that evokes feelings of
[0:28] presence and wonder and emotions and
[0:33] just connection to your inner self. This
[0:35] visualization is about, yes, visualizing
[0:38] the future, but not just that. It's
[0:40] about getting specific about the future
[0:42] and concrete, not with the goal of
[0:45] trying to predict or precisely plan how
[0:48] exactly that future is going to come to
[0:50] pass. It's really about visualizing and
[0:53] imagining the future with the intention
[0:56] of pulling information, pulling lessons
[0:59] and insights from that future into the
[1:03] present. The reason we want to do that
[1:05] is to make better decisions, to set
[1:08] goals that are more realistic and more
[1:10] rooted in who we are, and to create
[1:12] intentions and priorities that match our
[1:15] values, our temperament, our sense of
[1:18] what's important in life. So, take a
[1:21] minute to get comfortable. Can help to
[1:24] be cross-legged.
[1:27] Take a couple deep breaths and sigh as
[1:30] you exhale like this.
[1:33] >> [snorts]
[1:46] >> can help to kind of put your hand on
[1:48] your heart or on your chest to kind of
[1:51] touch your legs and remember you have a
[1:54] body. Remind yourself that you are here
[1:58] now in one place at one time.
[2:02] And I recommend you close your eyes
[2:04] throughout this meditation as that helps
