Oh, by the way, I don't imagine myself as a goddess but rather an idealized version of myself. However, in Buddhism there are visualization practices where one actually does imagine themselves as a god or goddess. I have done the Green Tara practice and also Chod practice with Machig Labdron, who is a sort of goddess. However, it works better with me if I just imagine a more idealized version of myself such as more confident, outgoing, mentally and physically strong etc.

I also do a Christian practice called The Heart Prayer, and find it very calming.
