Method: 3 Time Zone Shift
1. Mark & Ground:
Go down and use tape or another marker to divide your space into three zones. Settle into the middle zone (the Present), feeling the floor beneath you and attuning to the surrounding space.
2. Shift Inward:
Close your eyes or keep them softly open. Gently shift your awareness to your body—notice your breath, any areas of tension, and the general tone of your inner experience.
3. Explore the Past:
Move or orient yourself toward the first zone. Allow memories of your earliest childhood or notable past experiences to surface. Let any images, emotions, or bodily sensations arise naturally.
4. Return to the Present:
Shift back to the middle zone. Take a moment to fully experience the here and now—feel your body on the floor, your breath, and any changes in mood or tension after exploring the Past.
5. Envision the Future:
Transition to the third zone, imagining yourself at a later stage in life. Notice any hopes, dreams, or anxieties that emerge. Allow your body to respond—whether through a slight movement, a breath pattern, or a sense of anticipation.
6. Adjust & Integrate:
Move between these three zones at a pace that feels comfortable. If transitions feel slow, allow yourself to linger; if they come quickly, let the shift be more dynamic. Conclude by returning to the Present, noticing how each time zone influences your overall sense of self.
