This afternoon, I gave myself the space to meditate with a clear intention: to visualize something that would represent my goal of driving more traffic to Brian Schnabel’s Head Space. My phone was set to Do Not Disturb mode, ensuring no interruptions. The meditation lasted from 1:30 PM to 3:35 PM. I began with a Caribbean ocean wave soundtrack, letting the rhythm of the water guide me. When the track ended, I kept my headphones on, embracing the silence.
What Came Through during the session while I was in a semi-conscious state? Well… First, I saw my phone light up on the desk as if an alert had appeared, and I heard the familiar iPhone tone. Then came a slower version of my email chime.
It was so odd, almost dreamlike. “I wonder why that was?”
Finally, I slipped into a full-blown vision: I was looking at a picture of Dad while JAWS for Windows 2026 described it through Picture Smart. The voice said, “This is a picture of a man in a garage with a bottle of medication in his hand.”
The scene was vivid; the late-day light filtering through a high window, the overcast sky evident outside, ladders and tools hanging on the bare-beamed wall behind him. “Strange how I was holding the picture in my hand while lying in bed and JAWS for Windows was Describing it on my computer from across the room.”
After the session ended, a real-world check revealed my niece had called from South Dakota during the session. That explains the alert tone I heard in the first vision, even though the phone couldn’t make a sound in reality.
No email had arrived, so the slowed-down chime wasn’t tied to reality. It was just part of the altered state.
The image of Dad felt layered with meaning. Was it a warning? Was it a suggestion to avoid having a phone conversation with him on the next gray day for the sake of my own mental balance?
The mention of medication added weight, stirring unease. Why a still photo, though? Could it mean Dad will visit my site soon? That’s possible. He hasn’t been there in a while. “It’s handy knowing people’s IP addresses.”
My Takeaway from the session? The slowed-down email chime stands out. There’s no real-world explanation for it, so I’ll take it as a sign: the image I should hold as a part of my intention-setting is receiving an email or at least an email client with unread messages in the inbox. Therefore, once I’ve imagined how this picture should look, For the focused writing and posting part of the process, I’ll visualize this image.
