An Experiment Turned Experience

One night I was laying in bed getting ready for sleep.  My neck hurt a bit so I rolled the pillow under the arch of my neck and laid on my back.  I was very comfortable.  I had thought about my third eye, a healing Chakra, and decided to stare at with my eyes closed.  At first I saw the color blue, bright dark blue.  The color became enlarged, then shrunk, and seemed to do so on and off.  Then I began to see what looked like eye lashes.  My logical brain told me they were reflections of my own eyelashes imposing an image. I then decided that I was not going to judge this. Others believe in religion, gods, and other things, so it is okay for me to embrace this spiritual experience as it was.  As I continued to gaze at my third eye, I began to see the lashes part. A deep, beautiful eye appeared.  


I felt satisfied at that time and pondered what I had just experienced.  Each night, I would try again.  Each night I saw more.  After the lashes and eye, I saw a face, then long straight hair, then an image of a beautiful woman.  Her eyes were dark, but sure, not frightening.  Her stance was strong and confident, but welcoming and assuring at the same time. She was calm, relaxed, and full of love.  When I saw her I felt comforted, loved, hugged, warm, and safe.  


I know that she is with me every day, I know that she is the real me. When I am feeling unsafe or distressed, she comforts me.  When I am feeling lost or sad, she is there.  I find her just by closing my eyes for a moment. As time passes I feel her presences never leaving.  She reassures me that I am good, loved, and safe.
