Often I would want to be apart from what was happening in our large family setting, at school, and with friends, because it all seemed to be too overpowering. At about eight years of age, I began to look for a 'secret place' where I was really alone to talk to a higher source that unconditionally cared for me and my concerns. So as my own children began to need that 'secret place' we began to take 'mind walks' in a place in each of our own imagination with our eyes closed. I would lead a visualization experience and then leave my children to their own meetings with the Source they found there, and after a short time, would verbally come to pick them up and gently bring them back together to our home. They may still be doing this practice, I am.
