I always thought it meant the 3 days he spent visiting the souls in hell, no?
I think that reflex my Catholic religious instructions.
9 (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth?
10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Ephesians 4:9-10 ESV

Found online:''Why does it say Jesus descended into hell?
The “harrowing of hell” refers to what Christ did when he descended to Hades or hell between his death and his resurrection.
The early church believed that after his death Christ descended into hell in order to rescue the souls of the righteous, such as Adam and Eve.''
''Did Jesus go to the underworld?
An early view of Jesus' descent into this 'underworld' location in one interpretive camp was that
he liberated the faithful that had previously experienced death.
A later view shares that this place of descent portrays Christ's victory over the Kingdom of Satan, completed in death.''

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.
