Emerging stronger, my newfound sense of joy was so liberating that I felt compelled to guide others on their healing journeys. At university, I started to balance the heartfelt approach to my studies with the strategic cultivation of my resume for Ph.D. applications, noticing that compassion and collaboration, not competition, brought me greater fulfilment. This discovery has inspired my goal for the final project in this positive psychology course: to operate more from an intrinsically loving space. This intrinsically loving space has many terms in psychology such as the B-realm as coined by psychologist Abraham Maslow (Maslow, 1998), self-transcendence as a state, and peak\/mystical experience as a trait (Figure 4). I aim to achieve the goal of living more in the B-realm by engaging in a structured mindfulness activity and daily meditation for two weeks and quantifying the impact using the Light Triad Scale (LTS) (Kaufman, 2019). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
