The Retreat
Didn't know what to expect!
The time at the retreat was just what I needed! After years of wrestling internally with my Christian upbringing and the fear of going to an everlasting hell, I was finally given a relief to my anxiety. Life's moments are counted first in the breaths that we take. And meditation taught you how to only concentrate on those breaths and appreciate the present vs worrying about your end.
The constant barrage of feelings and my emotional turmoil was tamed. I was able to smile again and mean it. I couldn't wait to get home to my family and show them what I had discovered and yet, at the same time, I didn't want to lose the time I had to go within and discover my true self.
In the next few blogs, I will unravel the experiences of the retreat and the understanding that quietly washed over me and saved me from myself.
