My deceased grandma, who I have met only once when I was 1 years old - meaning I have no actual recollection of her outside of my spiritual connection to her - asked to speak with me today.
I have felt her presence every so often for over a decade, a little before my grandpa, her husband, passed. So we have chatted casually a bit here and there.
But she has never said to me: we need to talk. Until today. My grandpa, who I grew up with for most of my life, was there too.
So we had a sit down. And wow. They took me back to a memory that was no longer than 2 minutes, from 13 years ago.
As I was re-experiencing that moment, the negative emotions of that time came to the surface for a purge I didn't know I still needed.
Meditation is such a powerful and strange experience. It brings up moments you thought you had already forgotten about.
It feels random and like it’s coming out of nowhere.
But through that purging, enters a peace you didn't know you could fall deeper into.
My mind feels wider and more expanded now. And I feel a deeper connection to my grandparents as a result, for the healing they provided.
When you meditate and experience negative feelings, know that it is not a bad thing. It is that final purging. If you let it happen, blessings are on the other side.
