Hello, I'm wondering what are you doing in challenging situations, or when you are frustrated/angry or similar. What helps you to ground yourself?

Hello - I’ve been meditating daily for years - I love it - it quietens my mind and balances me. The other day I had an amazing experience and I’ve never seen anything like it before ever. It was right at the end of my meditation- my eyes were closed and I saw swirling clouds in space all dark blue/purple with a bright purple eye in the centre of the swirling clouds- it looked like an Egyptian Eye of Horus. I felt completely detached from my body - all I could do was stare in awe at this eye. Has anyone heard of this? Or had anything similar? Google isn’t my friend!!

Has anyone not realised exactly how much they have taken in during the course of studying these topics and then one day realising that it all makes sense and you took in a lot more than you gave yourself credit for? I had a terrible incident with my boss last night where she called me drunk and started to abuse shit out of me over the phone and then ending it with crying about how stressed she is and how nothing is working in the workplace and the whole call was drama drama drama and stress and drama- my response was short and succinct and I laughed at myself when I hung up! “Look I’m really sorry you’re going through this, but I’m not gonna engage in your toxic little pendulum of negativity you have going on here.”
