A story

So, I started meditating in 2018, and I took a class at the TM Center in DC in 2019. I wrote this story in December 2020. I had been meditating like this—as described in the story—for a while, and I really liked how it focused me on what I needed in the moment. I would do the visualization of going up to the apothecary and choosing the emotion I wanted, then heading into a pod and waiting for the light to infuse, then inhaling all that beautiful light.

I tried to explain it to people and they always looked at me with vague interest, but no real understanding of the thing that I had invented in my head. So yesterday, I asked Gemini to paint me a picture:

And it’s perfect.

Wednesday, August 5th

Meditated for 36 minutes, wrote in the morning, read 269 pages, and spent time with my friends in Zoom in the evening. Grateful for blankets for keeping my feet warm.

Love y’all.
