a. What thoughts come up while you are walking/ meditating?
-Well Sometimes my mind Is blank when I am walking or taking a fresh air outside after all
the stress and problems I’ve been through. I had to forgot all of the things that bothers me
and just enjoy the fresh and calm air. If I had a vacant time every 5pm or 6pm I go out and
take a walk or stroll with my motorcycle because that’s the only way for me to relive all my
stress.
b. What happened when you were walking. meditating?
-sometimes when I am taking a walk, there are times when I didn’t realize that I have been
walking for maybe about an hour and didn’t realize what time is it and still I am walking until
I am satisfied.
c. How did you respond to such distractions?
-well even though my mind is blank I still manage to see and aware of my surroundings
especially these days that we had a protocol of social-Distancing so every time I go for a
walk, I still distance myself to others and aware of people especially all the coming vehicles
to my path.
d. How do you practice your faith?
-I practice my faith by praying to God for all the blessings he had given to my family and
going to church every Sunday. But this year I haven’t been to church because my mother
won’t let me because of the pandemic.
e. Do you believe in spirits? Supernatural forces? If yes, do you have a personal
encounter with those forces? What did you do?
-even though I haven’t seen one but there are times I feel their sense around me but I still
believe in spirits because I believe our body has a soul and the soul or spirits that someone
or somebody has seen is a soul that has not yet fulfill their purpose or sometimes had a
grudge. There was this time that I felt something strange in our house. This was maybe 10
years ago I was 9 years old. We lived in our other house in Laguna. 2 am in the morning I
went down by myself (because our house is a 2-story house) to get some water because I am
thirsty and my mother won’t come to me because she is tired. So, I went down and felt a
cold like a freezing breeze inside. So, I wondered why is it cold and checked the windows if
they are open but not a single window is opened. So, I Ignored it and went to our kitchen to
get a drink. After I took a step at the very first tile of our kitchen, I sensed someone is beside
our refrigerator and I looked and I saw a glimpse of a little girl but I barely saw her because I
am sleepy that time and my eyes is a little blurry because I just woke up that time. So, I
thought that it was just my illusion so I ignored it and took a drink and went up to our room
to sleep. The day after that I asked and tell my mom what happened that early morning and
she is not shocked because she said that the little girl that I just barely saw or just a glimpse
is a soul that has been there a long time ago and my mother said she was a “bantay sa
bahay” and my mother knew and saw her.
