Hedy B's Experience
|
Experience description:
I
had gone too far out into the ocean and the undertow grabbed me and took me
under. When I popped up, I screamed to my friends but no one could hear me. I
lived in the desert, rarely ever near an ocean but I knew that the undertow was
going to keep pulling me under and I might be in danger.
While being tossed about underwater, a voice or thoughts came into my head
giving me complete instructions on what to do to save myself and get out of the
undertow. I didn't feel afraid, I just went to work.
It
told me to just let go and let the undertow suck me under and when I felt it let
go, then quickly come up for air and swim as hard as I could towards land until
it grabbed me again, and then repeat the process above. If I did this and
didn't quit, eventually I would make it back to the beach and be ok. It said
that letting go and not fighting the undertow, saving my energy for swimming
between waves was critical. I would get tired but if I followed the instructions
everything would be fine. (it wasn't a linear sentence type conversation, just
there all at once and not in so many words along with a calming confidence
feeling).
I
was on a high school band trip to the coast where we all decided to go swimming
at the beach.
