the other day i was part of a visualization exercise and I was to go forward 20 years and meet my "older self". I have to admit I was scared to knock on that door, i had fear around who that person would be....
But I did it, I knocked and the woman on the other side was so inviting and warm and the aura around her made me feel so welcomed and loved. I didn't get a visual of her looks but I felt the presence of her. I saw what she had and how she lived and it made me so happy. At the end of the visualization I said goodbye and asked her what I needed to know and she told me "faith in self" & "enjoy now" and when I asked her to give me name, a word she gave me "spirit" (only after not saying anything at all and me panicking that it was going to be over and she wouldn't of told me anything....again, "having faith" in self resonated with me.
It was powerful in so many ways but to see and feel my older self and see her in a place I've visualized over and over for the last few years felt so powerful and happy.
I have to admit I don't know what to "do" with all this information but I do enjoy the feeling I get knowing that I can have that life, that person, that place if I really want it.

much love, my friend, thanks for sharing!

it's amazing what our highest selves can tell us.
thank you for sharing this :)
"spirit" is a word that deeply resonates with me of late too...
what is the secret?
spirit.
what is the dream?
spirit.
what is the most important thing?
spirit.
i've been reading doreen virtue's "goddesses and angels" and she said something really profound about how the big lessons are learned in the fourth dimension, outside the realms of time and space. often we learn these lessons dreaming or in meditation, and when we awake, we know something profound has happened, but it is difficult to articulate that knowing into This World. the lessons instead work on a subconscious level, in the self of us that dances ephermerally and eternally. i suspect this is what your older self is teaching you ~ and it affects you on a level that is difficult to grasp but absolutely there.
:)
blessings to you bright spirit,
