Welcome to the Other World Patreon.

This is a bonus episode that comes from a woman named Liz.

After finishing college, Liz decided to take some time to go backpacking across the United States while doing something called woofing.

Woofing is an acronym that stands for worldwide opportunities on organic farms.

Doing this, you essentially get to work on organic farms across the country in exchange for meals, free lodging,

and a chance to learn farming skills.

She ended up doing this for about two years, and during that time, she landed in Boulder, Colorado.

While she was in Boulder, she decided to take some classes at a psychic school that was in the area,

and although she learned some interesting techniques at the school, that's not where her experience takes place.

That actually comes after the two-year journey while staying with some friends in upstate New York.

That's when her roommate asked if she wanted to try a healing meditation with him.

This was a pretty simple meditation that they were doing for fun, very casual,

but she ended up having a very unusual experience that led to even more strange

occurrences. By the way, for anyone who is unfamiliar with simple guided meditations like

this, I just say usually the best case scenario is that you feel a sense of calm and relaxation.

Maybe time might jump by quickly the same way it does when you take a nap. That's the best case scenario. And for many,

including myself, you might find yourself struggling to sit still and focus, feeling the time

go by very slowly while your mind darts around to all the

errands you have to run later and the other pointless noise that bounces around in your mind

all day on a daily basis. That is all to say that most of the time, nothing extreme happens.

That is all to say that what Liz ends up experiencing during this simple guided meditation

is highly unusual, which is why I find it so interesting.
