@Rose Wolf as you know I quit nicotine and so gentle returning has almost been survival. I find myself drifting when I am struggling with a peak in feelings of panic or seeking. Breathing deeply, closing my eyes and reminding myself I have a body that needs me to care for it really brings me back to a soft place inside myself that is like a child that I spend more time guarding then allowing. It has been really helpful lately. It’s really helpful during meditation though. Today it was during meditation and it was more so about my friend who passed away. I felt waves of painful emotions then I would focus my breathing and the wave would diminish, then I would feel it rise again until I had a better grip that I had returned to me and was watching my emotional waves in my ocean.
