Meditation and praying

To help herself she started meditating. Meditation and praying got her into this very subtle state of mind where she really could connect with her mother.

She meditated alone and with her mother, doing phowa* practices, imagining the light of a spiritual figure above her mother's head.

Very strange things happened. She felt very inspired of death. Also her mother felt this inspiration and they both were celebrating the nobility of death. It was not an easy time, but they both got a lot of courage of these spiritual practices.

*phowa is a Tibetan tradition for transferring consciousness ("The Book of Living and Dying" by Sogyal Rinpoche)

Thank you to my wonderful mentor Sergey, who lent one of his buddhas to me especially for this blip!
