We just went to Mürren, high up in the Swiss Alps. Train up to Lauterbrunnen, aerial cablecar to Grütschalp, another train to Mürren.
I have a lot of trouble with aerial lifts, the pendulum movement of the cabins gives me panic attacks. I wouldn’t say I’m scared of them, but they do cause me a lot of discomfort.

I warned my fiancée of the possibility of this happening. We were prepared, she hugged me tightly when the panic set in on the way up. It was horrible. I arrived shaken and with an absolutely awful feeling.

My girlfriend suggested to me to try to pray with my beads when we return. On the way down, she hugged me tightly while I focused as much as I could on my prayer. I tried to accept the cabin movements that made me uncomfortable. Goddess put this on my path, and I will never fight back or question what she does. I would happily endure much worse things for her, so this is something that should be manageable for me.

To the surprise of no one (but me, because these feelings of panic were so terribly intense on the way up), this worked perfectly. I was even able to enjoy the view while praying in the second half of the ride.

Where goddess rules, there is no anxiety, no fear, no panic.

I’m so deeply thankful to her for that.
