This technique provides a liberating perspective and a chance to preview your future. Use it to create the life you want to live.

1. Find a comfortable chair that supports your back so you can thoroughly relax. With your eyes closed, look up and imagine you see a window in the top of your head.

2. Gently allow your awareness to rise inside you until it goes right out that window and is now floating above your body.

3. Visualize, in the manner which will prove most effective to you, your timeline. It shows that your future extends out in one direction and your past in another. Imagine yourself floating above your timeline. Fly out in the distance until you're just ahead of where your timeline ends. If your timeline ends before you see yourself as quite old, wise and active, take hold of your timeline and stretch it out even more until you do have a long, rich future.

4. From your vantage point, situated just before where your future ends, look back on your timeline. Review your life and decide if it was worth living the way you lived it. See what you accomplished. Is it good, satisfying and worthwhile? If you want to change your future timeline, imagine a mist obstructing your view. Realize that while your view is blocked, your timeline is changing for the better and becoming more enriched in ways that combine your conscious desires with the wisdom of your unconscious mind. Then as the mist clears, you see a much more satisfying future history.

5. Now look at the wise old person you will become. Look and listen closely as this future you may have something very important for you. When you received it from that future you, thank that person and take a moment to appreciate what you've been given.

6. Then begin to move back along your timeline, back to that distant present, getting closer every moment. Review your new future timeline as you do.

7. Come to a stop over the present you. Look into your past. See a younger you who once anticipated the present you. Then look into your future and see that future you who is expecting you. Now, reenter your body and settle fully into yourself with all your new knowledge available to you as you now open your eyes.
