I read about a person who described falling from a great height that shouldn’t have been survivable. She reported feeling utter peace during and after the fall.
I would have no way to ‘know’ this….but for some reason it does feel right to read these words. Like…what are you going to do anyway? Or, maybe it’s reminiscent of when we can fly…..
I can’t imagine letting go of some inhibitions, but I do see this from a purely mental point of view and agree. I like your imagery there 🙂 I don’t think I would ever skydive, but some other life risks are equally as adrenaline-boosting, and equally as gratifying if we only took the leap of faith.
Hahahahaha, I can say with 100% certainty I would never voluntarily jump out of a plane. I physically couldn’t do it. I once went to a skyscraper where they had the clear balconies to step out on, I could NOT do it. But yes, the mental freedom of inhibitions that imprison us is what I was hoping for. 🙂
LOL! I did it (stepped on clear glass with nothing but floor below me) at the Eiffel Tower and also at this bridge called ‘Sky Bridge’ in Malaysia (nothing but glass and a sheer drop down a mountain below) and man I will never forget how my feet felt like they were being tickled and my heart like it was being squeezed. So I totally get you!
Lol it’s nice the people were supportive 😀 I think the fact that you CONTEMPLATED it is achievement enough! And you certainly did not miss out on anything.
A skydiving instructor, when asked by anyone “what is it like to fall freely through space?”, answers “I can’t answer that because it is different for each individual!” A very astute answer for all sorts of ponderings.
May your inhibitions always keep you safe and happy Colleen.
They’ve kept me safe so far (some), and grounded some (so far). I will say of the few people I know who have sky dived they all said they would do it again.
Maybe a mixture? I have LOTS of inner fear about heights. But in other matters, I know I have ‘also’ with inner fears had fears of how I might be seen. We are so complex!!!!
What a great concept. Love this. ❤️

Is it inner fear or attachment to how others might see us that hold us back? Internal or external? Just curious 💛
