If you only knew just how much you are truly loved and treasured here, you'd be amazed at just how many of us consider you to be our friend and a very dear, real life friend.
We miss you when we you're unable to join us virtually in group and always, always, always I keep you in my thoughts, prayers, and meditations.
Heck, if you could feel all of the intense and wonderful energy I send you'd instantly be a Reiki Master Level 3 and a hindi master levitater bouncing up and down and laughing with glee!
Boy wouldn't that transform your uncertainties and your mood in a hurry!
You know who you are, why you're here, why you suffer, and how that can be accomplished it ways that go far beyond the physical building of bridges, buildings, and school houses.
It is already in process thanks to your higher selves and angels my friend. And we've all got your back in the "here and now".

Adding in the sending of Healing Energy and Light to fill your body with this infusion. I see it filling your entire physical being with Light and Health.
@jeanne-mayell and @laura-f,
I approach certain healing and breathing modalities with caution. My immune system is quite compromised and in the past I've been set back in my healing when I've attempted some of these pracrices on my own. About 15 years ago while on short-term disability from my job, I became quite ill after I attempted a particular intense method of breathing meditation -- weeks of major insomnia, electric-like shocks, light sensitivity, adrenaline surges, depression. It created havoc on my body and mind. I was seeing a therapist at the time, but she wasn't familiar with these practices. After the worst of it was over, my body felt more depleted than before I went on disability.
To give you an idea of my level of sensitivity, I've occasionally had similar setbacks occur from acupuncture, medical quigong or certain cleansing practices. Everyone is different, but for me, less is more, and I always approach things slowly. And I trust my intuition a lot more these days too.
@stargazer, you mentioned grounding with your breathwork. That's critical for me -- it's too easy for me to leave my body without even trying! One of my life challenges has been to live comfortably in both worlds -- one foot in the spirit world, and the other foot firmly rooted in this earthly one. Your meditation is beautiful and sounds quite gentle.
Interesting about your experience with the mantra. I had a similar experience a few nights ago, while in bed, feeling really sick. I was having bizzare symptoms and a very charged nervous system. As I lay there feeling awful, I said to myself, "great -- another night of fitful sleep, trying to manage this crazy stuff!" Then came the thought "it doesn't have to be this way. Let go." Then I heard the mantra
"I release anything that no longer serves me. I invite holy spirit to heal me and control my life."
I began repeating the mantra, and my symptoms began to ease. I easily fell asleep. Like you, I believe the message came from Spirit.
May Spirit’s love and healing surround and cover you like a soft, comforting blanket. Be well.
@jeanne-mayell @laura-f Thank you both for pointing out the important precautions involved with shamanic breathing.
I just want to clarify that the breath work in my Quantum Process isn't really meant to be used as the the full "Breath Journey healing modality" but rather as a way to quickly achieve a deep or enhanced meditative state in order to allow energy to flow more easily.
As @stargazer pointed out, this deep meditative state can be achieved in many different and gentler ways (Body Scan Meditation, Yogic Breathing, Chakra Clearing, etc). In my case I tend to get impatient and just want to jump right to the "doing" part... Perhaps I should meditate on achieving patience through meditation.. ? ? ? ?
You reminded me that as much as I have used acupuncture in the past, I am one of those rare people who has to tell the acupuncturist: "Fix Problem X, but do NOT try to balance my chi overall," because whenever that's been attempted, it causes a cascade of problems from anxiety attacks to migraines (which TBH I guess you could say would take one's mind off Problem X, LOL) and even messes with my immunity homeostasis.
