When our mates die, it doesn’t disappear, it stays with us, therefore the pain and agony of loss is like a gift to ensure we make the most of every minute, every hour by being in the moment, channeling their presence that they have gifted in our shared epigenetic DNA and in doing so we honour them and inturn honour ourselves.

Cheers Heston. Glad you can talk about the hole. Myalgic Encephalitis Fibromyalgia Gulf War llness demographic Lyme Disease Murine Leukemia Virus, Exogenous Depression, Electro Hyper Sensitiveity (damage to Voltage Gated Calcium Channels) has meant I’ve body crashed more than 10,000 times. My body mandated bed rest. 4 years bedbound in a blacked out room, 8 years housebound, last year wheelchair bound for 9 months means it’s been very challenging, I’m not a victim, these things have been catalysts to unlock exactly what life and joy is. Shane and Angelina Saunders are master breathing practitioners and educators. Shane was a Clearance Diver in the Navy and taught SASR SCUBA and as such now is a professional breathing coach. They are the best in OZ mentored by the best in the world. https://www.facebook.com/breathemepage/ https://au.linkedin.com/in/angiesaunders https://www.breatheme.com/ https://youtu.be/ASlH0uQBvzQ https://youtu.be/3fFh5yKC3gg https://youtu.be/FgaK1gHOQWY https://youtu.be/QMPHAxH33zg https://youtu.be/I_Pwk2TCQw0 https://youtu.be/I_Pwk2TCQw0 https://youtu.be/jZuTDDwEb8g https://youtu.be/Prp7A3XoKdk https://youtu.be/omoyWMA78gc These are just the intro’s to the different breathing techniques and I find the best place to grow and embed my neural superhighways networks of breathing practices when I am in fresh or salt water because being in the water focuses me on feeling the details of breathing. You articulate stuff really well Heston. Many thanks. This stuff comes to us in order to make us better. IV Ketamine for me in the morning.
