Wasn't sure where to put this so i figured here would be safe.
Something rather strange happened to me just now and i wanted to share it. I dont have a set path, so all of my beliefs are very open, and nothing is exact, i dont have names to the gods, i just acknowledge them and thank them etc. I was praying at my makeshift alter, something i dont do all that often, but I was pretty much lite a candle and incense, my room was very dark, and just my way of giving thanks for everything. There was also a sight undertone of feeling helpless in not having anything exact in my faith, that everything is left nameless in a way. Right about at this point i felt like i was no longer alone, and i was overcome by warmth, and i felt as if someone had come up from behind me and put their arms around me, and then it felt like they were resting their head over my shoulder. of course there was no one else in the room, so i didn't even look i just tried to keep my focus on what was happening, and i was just overcome with a calm and tranquility. It also felt as if there were 2 other presences in the room.
Then i tried again to meditate(ive always had trouble) but instead of clearing my mind, i just imagined my self someplace, a green forest, so alive and green it could never really exist, but i just focused on seeing that and it kinda went on its own, i didn't even have to try to mantain it, and i began to run through the forest and see things like waterfalls, caves, etc, but the feeling that i wasn't alone didn't leave until i felt so tired and completely relaxed i decided to go get something to drink before i fall asleep, and then after that it was like the connection was gone and i was back to normal, only just feeling much more content with everything.
I dont think im asking any questions with the post, just felt the need to share, and no...there were no drugs involved ;)
