Hi @coyote
I've been meaning to post a technique that I feel could be beneficial to you in your healing journey (and also to anyone else looking to achieve some sort of transformation in their life).
I call this Quantum Energy Shifting (or Manifestation)
The technique entails you changing your current energy state into a new energy state that encompasses your goal. I call it quantum because I believe it uses your own intent and consciousness to achieve a quantum entanglement between your current energy state and your goal state, thus bringing the goal into reality.
Before starting, picture the goal in your mind. In this case you would picture yourself in a state of optimum physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Imagine being this person and really get a feeling for how it would be: See it, feel it, taste it, smell it, hear it, BE it.
Next "Go to Glow." Fill your body up with energy until you start to feel yourself tingling all over. A good way to do this is through holotropic or shamanic breathing. This is essentially a steady, rapid, deep breathing technique almost like a controlled hyperventilation. For this exercise there is no need to do the whole 30 minutes, you can stop once you start to feel the tingling in your body: 5-10 minutes should be good.
After you have reached this state, bring back the image of your goal. Feel the energy flooding through you (tingling). Picture it as billions of particles of light emanating out from your heart. This energy IS YOU. Then, see your goal image also as being composed of billions of particles of light.
Now, MERGE the two sets of energy into one. See each of your particles fuse with its corresponding goal particle. BECOME the goal. Jump into it, pull it into you. See it, feel it, taste it, smell it, hear it, BE it. Do this until you KNOW that you are the now the goal.
Bask in this buzz of enhanced energy for as long as you like. You may even drift off to sleep, which is fine.
This technique is powerful at anytime but even more so during the New Moon (new beginnings), eclipses, meteor showers and comets (transformation). However, the breathing technique should be used sparingly at the beginning with plenty of days in between to rest. Your body will need time to recover from and adapt to holding so much energy all at once.

@frank The breathing technique you mentioned is a method used widely in the 1970's called rebirthing breath work or just breath work. The founder claimed it released childhood traumas. I did it three different times in my early thirties when I was strong and healthy, with positive results. I still remember clearly the details of my experience, which speaks to the power of it. But I'd would not advise it for anyone with compromised health, or someone who is elderly, and not without the advice and supervision of a qualified practitioner.
Each time I did it, it was painful to keep the breathing going and when I finally did stop, powerful emotions surged up from the deep, which was good. They had been repressed and now surged up. Each time, I was glad I did the technique. But I was supported by Kripalu practitioners, not alone.
I think the technique creates an oxygen imbalance in the brain from what is essentially hyperventilating. I would not advise it for anyone in poor health or elderly and without supervision.
@coyote and anyone else, another healing technique is giving oneself a really cold shower. It is supposed to be immune boosting and from the way I feel when I can get myself to do it, I believe it works. You can also start with a regular shower then at the end you turn it to super cold and stay there as long as you can tolerate it. Very invigorating.
I will chip in energetically, too, @coyote !
I do agree with Jeanne - be careful with hyperventilation, and if you decide to try Frank's method, make sure someone is nearby in case you pass out.
I have done a similar energy visualization in the past, but without the breathing component, so consider trying it minus that one component if you feel safer that way. (No offense @Frank! I think your method is great, but may need some minor modifications to accommodate our dear Coyote!)
Good luck tomorrow Coyote! We're all with you!

Another wonderful and grounding breathing technique(to try in your 'Quantum Leap' meditation experience ;) is to focus on the Solar Plexus, and to breath in deeply through the nose, exhale through the mouth, seven times while consciously pushing the tummy area (SP) out on the exhale... (Prana, the Breath of God)... releasing, clearing, empowering, healing ...
This New Moon coming up tomorrow will be opposing exactly Saturn Retro, with Jupiter R & Pluto R more widely .... letting go of old karmic residue, and allowing Spirit to fill us with light and ...a more comfortable balance. It will be good after all the heaviness and changes, and perhaps heartbreak and frustration that these last months, with the rapid eclipses in the Cancer/Capricorn axis, have brought to us all.
I was in a solitary dark place recently, very heartbroken, and got this mantra from Spirit today... it really resonates with this Cancerian New Moon...and maybe with some of you as well as we navigate releasing those shadows... ?
'' I am a precious child of Spirit. I am supported in sacred light, I am cherished, protected and nurtured by Spirit and angels of light who will never abandon me.
I am ready to receive the blessings of abundance and love. I am ready to let go of the control and the pain and the suffering from this and many lifetimes before. I am ready to release all to Spirit. To surrender to the Divine and to honor the sacred in all...
I am ready for true joy within."
Wishing swift healing and grace and love to everyone ... be kind to yourself, and let me know if the mantra works for you? ??
Thank you for your comments on the re-birthing technique you recognized from the 70s.
Over and over old techniques have been "re-birthed" under new names as internet and class "gurus " seek to start copy cat programs of their own or share them with new audiences.
We all have good hearts here and we all want to help one another and the urge to to do so is huge.
But new people come here in bunches with little background training often with undeveloped skills or understandings and they want to jump right in to anything they read about, see on YouTube or hear us talk about here.
I immediately recognized it as an early technique as well but didn't recognize it as well as you did.
And like you i really want to caution anyone from advanced techniques (or really any technique) that they aren't yet trained in.
We have so many people here who want to do more be more, rush into healing techniques or think they are healers or psychics without training without initiation through life experiences, its takes a lot of books or classes with understanding of what they are doing or what is happening to them when they do it.
We are all intuitive innately but even that is widely varied here and so many people think that any thought, any dream, any fear even is therefore psychic and a lot of fear is coming up and being expressed and getting out of control now everywhere in the collective.
Anyone who is physically ill or suffers from fear, anxiety, or depression shouldn't try anything that alters their consciousness in ways that triggers leaving the body mentally, physically or spiritually unless they're with a trained mentor or guide who knows how to call them back.
Hyper-ventilation and panic attacks can be very frightening to the point of people thinking they are dying.
I have a feeling most people here have experienced this before but if you haven't you really don't want to!
