Ashoka

Had a really rough time at work today so I came home and decided to do a meditation. The meditation was for anxiety by James Stevenson on YouTube. It was extremely relaxing as he coached me to allow myself to float up into the night sky and look around the stars in the galaxy and to just enjoy the peacefulness while allowing tension anxiety to leave my body. After he guided me through it and back down to earth and back to the stress situation at work he helped me to minimize it to make it small to put it away in the boxes of clutter and it made me realize just how it it was completely insignificant. The whole situation of me getting stressed out and angry and upset over a problem that is just so small in comparison to anything else. So was I able to finally let it go and not worry about it to just keep focusing on that vast beautiful dark Starry Sky. At the end of The Meditation I found myself sitting beside a pond that was located where my grandma used to live. It was a beautiful pond with a walking trail around it and I was sitting under a tree on a bench. Suddenly I could sense my grandma next to me I could feel her presence and I could see her and was reminded of just her face her smile her laughter her voice and it was so calming and peaceful and it made me miss my grandma for a minute. And I was looking out at the pond and I could see Ducks swimming along with their little ducklings following night see geese off in the distance with their heads in the water getting fish lifting their heads out and just swallowing The Fish Hole splashing their wings enjoying the water. At the very end a word King to me the word was Ashoka a s h o Ka I'm going to research that word and update later.

EDIT:
Ashoka is a tree revered by Buddhists.
Some authors hold that the young girl (yakshini) at the foot of this tree is based on an ancient tree deity related to fertility.

In Hinduism the ashoka is considered a sacred tree. Not counting a multitude of local traditions connected to it, the ashoka tree is worshipped in Chaitra,[6] a month of the Hindu calendar.[6] It is also associated with Kamadeva, the Hindu god of love, who included an ashoka blossom among the five flowers in his quiver, where ashoka represent seductive hypnosis.

Was also an emperor whose name me means without pain or sorrow.

Perhaps in the vision of the pond it was me under an ashoka tree.
