I don’t regularly meditate, but sometimes I remember to and am present enough to go for it. It had probably been at least a year, and I found myself giving myself the time. And during this time, it happened. In a guided meditation, I found myself in a relaxed state of calm, enjoying it and started to visualize a beautiful place I had been before.
And I realized — I hadn’t been to that place since a traumatic event had happened there. A place that had meant so much to me became a place where part of me was left. I found that part of me I had left there, and realized everything is going to be ok.
