A well known practice for setting future goals implemented by Life Coaches, mentors or career advisors around the world, and something we have all done ourselves at some point in our lives, is to set the intention for where we want to be in 5 years time. This is a common mindfulness practice presented as a way of us cementing the intention through visualising or imagining it as a reality as that focuses our minds thereby increasing the chances of us achieving our future hopes and dreams!
Typical of many coaching scenarios, it is equally important in Sophrology, but it becomes even more significant after the first level of Sophro Balance, particularly at the second level when we have more inner awareness which is based on present time and having learnt to be happier within ourselves we can start to project our happy, joyful state into the future. In the words of a famous motivational speaker Lou Tice, founder of the Pacific Institute in Seattle, US.
“All meaningful and lasting change starts first on the inside and works its way out into the world.”
– Louis Tice –
Sophrology was created for people suffering with war trauma (PTSD) and the idea was to teach them how to be happy right now, instead of taking them into the past to relive the situation and come to terms with it as was the case, at the time, with psychoanalysis. Once the patient was managing to feel happiness in their daily life then Alfonso Caycedo, the founder of Sophrology, taught them that it was possible so that they could look forward to a happier and positive future.
In the first level we anchored ourselves in the body. The body is always in the present and we noticed the physical sensations in our body when our thoughts were happy and positive. To move into the future we need to become aware of the mind. Our imagination allows us to live future events as if they are happening in the here and now. Even though the mind is in the future, the consciousness is always in present time. Even though the mind is imagining and visualising future events, the body lives these events as if they are happening right now.
In Sophro Balance we are not creating idyllic futures that may or may not come true, we are reinforcing the structures of existence so that we become more confident in our capacity to create a positive future. Regardless of the events that may occur in our lives and the lives of those around us, we can be fully present and manage these events with ease. We may not have a choice as to what happens in our lives, however, we do have a choice in how we perceive and experience what is happening.
So, with that in mind, I would love to present you with a guided futurisation technique that will enable you to be free to explore The Magic of the Future in the here and now! This has the potential for you to experience the future in a more positive light that will help you feel more confident and happier moving forward! Click on the link to listen to my FREE audio.
