I was still standing there long after my husband and son had got back into the car on account of it being freezing! Like an idiot, I tried to take a picture of the sky on my phone, but of course it didn't have the technology to capture what I could see. It's in my head though. So many stars and the overwhelming feeling that I am part of something so BIG I couldn't possibly comprehend it with the 10% of the brain that we only use.
I do visualisation mediation (guided imagery) I'm a very visual person so this mediation works for me. It takes me to my happy place - which is generally a beach in North Wales. I was there the other day and I met my deceased mum and dad and two of my dogs. Or I go to the home I was born in or the house that my mother died in, but was also my home for 7 years. I go to my deceased nan's house too and I can smell the roses in the garden and the coal fire. Jim Reeves on the record deck and the smell of damp that comes with a house that isn't centrally heated which wasn't unpleasant to me..
Sometimes, when my mind is busy, I visualise standing under a waterfall and it's washing away the negativity.
For some bizarre reason, I start off as me with my visualisations, but end up poncing about in a white dress as I go deeper into them. I don't wear dresses!
Stands to reason that I can visualise all sorts of scary crap, so I figured I'd use my ability to visualise positive stuff. Also, I naturally did this as a young child - before school messed with my head.
