Some of my meditation friends and I decided to sign up for David Bayer's Mindset Month together, and we're sharing our insights with each other in our WhatsApp group and on Zoom calls as we go. This morning was Day 2, and the meditation was about my perfect day. Wow. It was short, and it was one of the most unique and powerful meditations I have ever done.
I wasn't able to visualize as much as I had hoped, but what came up was so much bigger than pictures. It brought up tears and full body goosebumps, and this feeling that is deeper than gratitude. It's like the ultimate thankfulness for being alive and for choosing me. My path is expanding, my field is expanding, and my life is expanding with everything in it.
I still feel the deep loneliness too, and I'm not going to pretend I don't. I also don't really want a relationship right now, so I'm in that in between stage, you know?
Here is what came up for me. I was dancing in wildflower fields holding my hug sign, just feeling the pure joy that comes from life itself. I had an amazing cappuccino at home with this sense of peace and calm, and honestly it felt a lot like the life I'm living right now. I woke up without the stiffness. I saw myself walking through a vineyard, or a castle with green grass and old stone walls. I went from the beach to Iceland or Ireland, and then all the way to Australia to see the kangaroos. I just globetrotted through my whole meditation.
I don't remember anybody in particular being with me, and still I felt self worth, self dignity, self respect and community all at the same time.
The tears were all kinds of tears. Some were sorrow for myself in a way, and some were for the glorious life I have now, and so much of it was love for me and for the world and knowing there is so much better and more still coming.
I feel certainty and confidence that my future is coming to me exactly as it should. I just need to keep moving forward without the fear, without the lack and without the worry, and know that everything is being drawn to me. My heart is magnetic, my love is magnetic, my soul is magnetic.
Then the meditation asked me to look back at the obstacles, and there has been an absolute abundance of what we call obstacles in 3D. My birth defects. A year in foster care. A childhood with my dad that was inconsistent and unsafe and left me feeling unloved, being bounced from person to person. He did what he could.
And then I walked right into a very familiar feeling that I called love, because I didn't know any better. I was literally going to settle. I thought that was my life, because I thought that was who Sherry Bachelder was. You find somebody and you stay, no matter what.
My ex once told me it wasn't a domestic violence relationship because I wasn't in and out of the hospital. Whoa. No. It absolutely was. I was going to the hospital, and nobody knew what was actually going on. It's the scars that can't be seen, and it's all the days I didn't go to the hospital.
So there was sorrow too, for still letting go of those parts of me that lived on inconsistent love, the breadcrumbing, that little hit of dopamine. I was looking for validation from anybody and everybody out in the world, and I couldn't really receive it, because I couldn't upset him.
And oh my God, look at the life I have now. I don't care what he thinks. I don't care what others think. I'm living for me, I'm living for the passion inside my own heart, and I'm propelling myself forward.
Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? Absolutely.
What would your perfect day look like if there were no limits at all?
