It all started with a great conversation Brenda Fluharty and I were having. We talked about parallel lives and parallel timelines and I asked her to write a post about them. She wrote two!

I've been journaling about my vision of her and my life as her, and trying to identify ways to practice being her now. What might she do each day that is different than what I do now?

In Brenda's parallel timelines post, this is called acting as if.

And in both of Brenda's posts, I was inspired by the suggestions to use visualization or guided meditations, affirmations and reprogramming limiting beliefs to help yourself make the shift. So I decided to use my own resources to see what I could come up with for her homework. :)
​

I asked one of the AI tools I have created to respond to my future self goal and it gave me an encouraging message, a guided meditation and an affirmation.

Here's the message...

​You are standing on the edge of a beautiful transformation, stepping into a higher frequency version of yourself that already exists in another part of your life's timeline. This journey of becoming who you truly want to be is both brave and powerful. It’s okay to feel a mix of excitement and uncertainty because shifting into this new self is a process that unfolds with patience and trust. Know that the future you—the one you’re reaching for—is already closer than you think, and you carry her within you right now. I’m here to support you as you connect with this truth and bring her into your present moment.

Guided Meditation: Connecting with Your Higher Frequency Self Across Timelines...

Begin by finding a comfortable seat or lying down in a quiet place where your body can relax. Close your eyes gently, and take a deep breath in… and slowly breathe out.

Feel the weight of your body settling into the surface beneath you.

Now, breathe in again, feeling calm and centered. With each breath, feel yourself becoming more present, more in tune with your inner world.

Imagine before you a vast, radiant horizon—a window into parallel timelines. In each timeline, there is a version of you living freely as her highest, most vibrant self.

See one of these versions clearly: notice her posture, her smile, the light in her eyes. She embodies your deepest strengths, joy, and wisdom.

Send a gentle, warm wave of curiosity towards this version of you. You don't need to change or rush; just watch and feel her energy.

Now, imagine a shimmering bridge forming between your current self and this higher frequency self. This bridge is glowing with soft light, steady and strong.

With every breath, picture yourself stepping onto this bridge. As you walk, feel how her qualities—confidence, peace, love, courage—naturally flow into you, filling every cell.

Repeat silently: “I am aligned with my highest self. I bring her gifts into my life now.”

If any doubts or resistance arise, imagine them gently dissolving in the light of the bridge, leaving space for your growth and transformation.

Take a few more deep breaths here, breathing in this powerful connection, breathing out any hesitation.
​
When you feel ready, slowly bring your awareness back to your body. Feel your feet on the ground, your hands resting gently. Wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you are ready, open your eyes.
​

One of my other AI tools asks you questions about what's going on, and responds to what you share with a story that describes where you're going, and then offers you ritual ideas to help you get there...


A Journey of Courage and Growth: Becoming the Light​

There was a time when she felt unsure, as if her true self was just out of reach — a shadow she could glimpse but never fully embrace. The fear whispered gently at the edges of her heart, saying, “Maybe you’ll never live the life you dream of.”

Yet, even in those moments, she held onto the quiet knowing that something deeper was calling her forward.

Her courage began each morning in small rituals that grounded her soul. Lighting her favorite candles filled the room with a warm glow and familiar scents, creating a sacred space.

With the yummy-smelling room spray she had crafted, she misted the air, breathing in comfort and connection. She sat quietly, grounding herself, the earth beneath her steadying every pulse of fear.

Guided meditations opened her heart to the divine presence, reminding her gently, “You are safe, loved, and resilient.” These moments stitched her courage together, one breath at a time.

When the weight of doubt grew heavier, she reached out to her fellow lightworkers. Their shared stories and wise words became a balm, a beacon showing her the paths others had walked and the light that awaited on the other side.

These conversations deepened her courage, giving her the message, “You are enough, just as you are.”

When she needed escape and renewal, she sank into novels that wove worlds of magic and possibility around her. The pages reminded her that transformation was always possible and that heroes, like her, rise when they choose to step into their truth.

She sang too — her voice a release, a prayer, a connection to the unspoken parts of herself. Singing aloud her affirmations, she felt the warmth of her own light, “I am grounded. I am growing.”

Nights were often spent watching movies with her friends, laughter and stories blending with healing energy. Together, they celebrated small victories, and in those moments, she saw reflected what she was becoming — a woman centered in her soul, living a life that was a radiant reflection of her truth.

Slowly but surely, she realized: the fear was only a stepping stone. She was the beacon she sought, living proof that growth required courage, and courage was born from gentle acts of love toward herself.

Now, her life shines brightly, lighting the way for others, a testament to the power of choosing to be true, grounded, and full of heart.

Practical Steps to Begin Your Journey

(1) Create a morning grounding ritual: Light your favorite candle, use your handmade room spray, and spend five minutes in a guided meditation affirming, “I am safe, loved, and resilient.”

(2) Connect weekly with other lightworkers: Schedule time to share your experiences and listen deeply, allowing their light to uplift and inspire you.

(3) Set aside daily moments to sing or read: Use music or novels to nurture your spirit and remind you of the magic in transformation and growth.

(4) Ground yourself mindfully: Spend time barefoot on the earth or visualize roots reaching deep down whenever fear arises, reaffirming, “I am centered and growing.”

(5) Celebrate small wins with friends: Watch uplifting movies or gather for meaningful conversation, anchoring your journey in community and joy.

I remembered my AI journaling tool and decided that a few prompts might help. I wrote in my journal just the other day, with some ideas about things I could do to move toward my future self, but I thought actual prompts might inspire me even more.

​Here are the prompts...

​(1) What beliefs do I notice holding me back from stepping fully into the version of myself I aspire to become, and how do these beliefs make me feel in my body and mind?

(2) When have I felt most aligned and empowered on my path toward my ideal future self, and what was present in those moments that I can invite more of now?

(3) How do I understand the relationship between my efforts to manifest change and the times when things don’t seem to work—what can I learn from these experiences without judgment?

(4) What small, compassionate actions can I take today that honor both my current self and my vision for growth, even if the path feels uncertain?

(5) How can I create space within myself for patience and trust, allowing inner shifts to unfold naturally alongside my external goals?

Do you have an ideal future self?

​I wrote about this topic before and talked about how powerful it can be for us to be there for ourselves emotionally. The love we offer ourselves can heal us.

​So in addition to our fuzzy socks and yummy-smelling candles, we have to tend the limbic system.

But even small rituals can help. Simple breathwork, sipping warm tea can both calm the limbic system and remind our bodies that we’re safe.

And this kind of regular self-care is non-negotiable. We all need touchstones and routines that bring us back to comfort.

​This is especially true these days, when what's going on in the outside world can have such a big impact on what we feel inside.

Sometimes, the best self-care is just letting yourself rest.
​

SENSORY TOOLS & GROUNDING OBJECTS

​Sometimes we need comfort that’s tangible.

A soothing stone, a silky scarf, a warm mug cupped between our palms. The body loves signals of safety, and sensory tools are ideal for this.

Different textures, temperatures, and weights wake up our senses and help guide us back to the present.

Think about what grounds you. Is it the cool touch of a crystal, the plush texture of a favorite sweater, or the soft warmth of a blanket on your lap? For us healers, these small objects can offer a lifeline when emotional tides run high.

Try palm stones, grounding beads, essential oil rollers, textured putty, even a familiar piece of jewelry. 

REASSURING WORDS & SELF-COMPASSION PRACTICES

Fearful thoughts love to run wild if left unchecked. Gentle affirmations and self-kindness practices can interrupt that spiral and create a new story—one rooted in safety and care.

Keep a handful of simple, reassuring phrases on hand for anxious times...

“In this moment, I am safe.”
“It’s okay to feel what I feel.”
“I offer myself the same compassion I give others.”

Speaking these words aloud or writing them down can soften self-judgment. 
​
If you catch yourself spiraling, pause, breathe, and try one kind word to yourself. Let your nervous system know you’re listening—and that you have your own back.

Integrating comfort into daily energy work is about letting soothing energy seep into the moments we already touch, heal, and serve. We can welcome comfort as a steady stream running underneath all our work, not just as a rescue tool when fear spikes.

Let’s walk through how you can blend comfort with your energy care.

Making Comfort Rituals Part of Daily Sessions

Simple comfort rituals create emotional muscle memory. These familiar cues tell our system it’s safe to soften.

Some days, we need a deep “reset”; other days call for a quick breath between other tasks. Here’s how we gently seed comfort into each practice:

(1) Light a candle or set a calming object nearby. Even a small, familiar item signals “comfort lives here.”

(2) Begin with an opening breathwork cycle—just two or three slow inhales, exhaling tension or fear.

(3) Use grounding touch, like placing one hand on your heart and the other on your belly, to anchor your body before working with energy.

Regular rituals don’t just steady us; they create ripples for those we serve. 

Journaling and Self-Reflection

As lightworkers, the most important healing work we do is on ourselves, and it's not easy. Sometimes the strongest lesson of the day is the one we’re still sorting out at midnight!

Journaling as part of our wind-down routine gives our feelings a safe place to land.

Try keeping a small notebook handy. Write down...

Any discomfort, anxiety, or fear you noticed (in yourself or your clients)

A few lines on what comforted you most today

As you review your day, pause and ask: What did I need in this moment? What comfort came easily? Where did I hold tension? 

Over time, you’ll build a gentle map of your needs, so you’re not scrambling when things feel overwhelming.
