I have been journaling various experiences of my life for awhile now and over time I will be sharing many of these with you. The most recent happened last night before going to sleep and while I don’t entirely understand its meaning, I do know it was real and was meant for me to know.
Last night I had just gotten into bed and was lying there contemplating my day and the future. My day had been fraught with feelings of insecurity, general unworthiness and anxiety. I don’t really know what caused these feelings but I am slowly beginning to understand how the feelings and issues of others around me have an affect on me too. I always knew that I had a “knowing” about others and their state, but it just recently dawned on me that these people could affect how I feel. The weird part is that these feelings seem to be my own, but now I’m not so sure.
Anyway, I was lying in bed on my left side when I noticed a presence above and behind me. I could hear some sound, but couldn’t quite hear or understand it. It only happened once and lasted for maybe 1-2 seconds, then I had a feeling of being covered. It was like a large heavy blanket was thrown over me and the bed, and I could hear the air rushing out all around me and then it continued through me. This lasted for probably 15 – 20 seconds. It was so very comforting. I decided to lay there and just accept this feeling and I thanked the presence for that gift.
Upon waking this morning, my extreme anxieties of the previous day were gone. While I do remember them, their hold on me is released.
Like I said, I don’t know what it all means for sure; but I do know that I was being visited and comforted for a reason. Thank you for helping me.
