You know, as I was thinking about your response, I realized I did have a couple of positive images that gave me some comfort. One was my dog (a very calm, friendly black Labrador) and one was my oldest daughter the night she was born. Now I need a stronger figure - somebody stronger than me - and human!
The week after I quit work, I went on a Qi Gong meditation retreat. One thing they pointed out is to call upon your 'master's energy' and your 'generational energy' as you do certain meditations'. A master can be a guide, a mentor, Buddha, Christ, Qi Gong master, whoever inspires you. Generational energy is your ancestors, parents etc. I just so could not relate. It really bugged me. Now I think I know why.
I hope you find your comforting image Echoes.
