In this personal monologue, Caryn Meininger reflects on her desire to participate in a shamanic experience while grappling with serious health concerns. She explains that doctors advise against the ceremony for individuals with high blood pressure, a condition she struggles with due to lingering grief over her father's death six years ago. The loss has left a persistent emotional “brokenness” that spikes her anxiety and blood pressure. Caryn shares her conversation with a facilitator who promised to consult the shamans about her eligibility. She describes feeling devastated and defeated at the prospect of being denied, yet she remains in a waiting period, trying to balance her need for the experience with a trust in the universe: if it is meant for her, it will happen; if not, the shamans will say no.
