Good evening JMG and everyone,

Six initiation rituals on a single weekend? It does sounds pretty busy!

1) I had a few things happen to me these past few weeks. It seems my first Saturn Return is throwing some whammy's at me that have left me in a state of "ok, ok I got it!" (I didn't the first time) and... he does seem to measure things precisely! My question is, about how long do they last? and how can I calculate mine if it's easy enough to explain on a comment? I have the basic concepts down from your astro lesson posts but not in natal. Several online calculators differ from each other and all differ from a friend that calculated it for me on the fly. If not, do you have a good rec that covers it?

2 & 3) I've become rather fond of color breathing. It makes me feel as if I am expanding and actually breathing with my whole body! Which is kind of weird but it feels "fresh". One thing that happened this past two weeks is that I felt like a "knot" on my head and I pulled in a little harder there and something popped, like when a muscular knot is being massaged but it was energetic in nature, so to speak, and something moved inside that channel and started flowing when it didn't in the past. I did get a pressure sensation that hurt mildly on "the next stop" of the channel. I guess blocked channels can hurt when getting back online? If there are parts of the body you want to focus on, say my stomach or my head, how do you do it if at all? Do you only breathe into that part of the body or do you fill everything but that part you make it more bright?

4) This removed blockage seems to have triggered an anxiety reaction from a well repressed emotion from three years ago, at least they correlate in timing by a few days. It started getting intense so I decided to banish and then meditate an extra time that day. It worked but then I thought of the color breathing and was wondering what would you consider best for this. They way I manifested this anxiety was in a sense "paralyzing" so I wonder if breathing in Air or Earth would be better (either for stability or fluidity). My guess is Earth, since Air might make things more "mental" in a way and anxiety is an excess of uncontrolled mind.

5) For future experimentation, I wonder if you would consider "tissue breathing" a good idea since there are four. If so, what do you think of these correspondences? Epithelial tissue - Earth; connective tissue - Water; muscle tissue - Earth and nervous tissue - Fire.
