Experience description:

The mall was packed during the holiday season.  Hundreds of people raced in and out of stores trying to complete their Christmas shopping.  Upon discovering that my 3-year-old daughter was missing, I started getting a sick feeling in my stomach.  I turned and walked out of the store.

As I walked into the mall area and saw the rush of people going by, I went into a full-fledged panic.  Seeing a toy store across the hall I ran to it hoping my daughter wandered there to explore the toys.  Just as I made it to the doors, the clerk was locking up.  Instantly, the most powerful fear erupted inside my body as I thought of the stores closing and people beginning to leave the mall.

The most horrible stories about people who had lost a child began to play like a movie in my mind.  I could not stand it, the thought of my child with someone I did not know.  I thought I could hear her crying, and feel her fear.  Something strong and overpowering was taking over my body and mind.  I kept thinking, "No, this can't be happening to me.  I don't want to be one of those people who wait for any news about their child."  I could feel the sickness in my stomach.  My legs were tingling, and a strange feeling was moving through my body. 

Suddenly, as if my spirit had left my body, I could see myself standing there alone.  "Am I dying?  Will this be forever?"  Everything seemed bright, like everything and everyone was associated with a light of it's own.  The noise, a rumbling noise, as if people's voices were melting together into one echoed in my head.  And, a vibration, like the mall itself was feeling the pressure from my energy.  All of the sudden I was directed by my spirit toward the far end of the mall.  I turned and searched with all my power spotting my daughter.  My legs went numb, my breathing was heavy, and my vision was blurred from the tears.  I thought I was going to pass out just from the emotional change.  It was the longest time of my life.
