I'm thankful you think so, Susie! She and I always sleep better when we're together, and, despite the distance, it's beneficial for me. It feels wonderful, and that connection with her is really what I'm seeking, beyond everything else.

I haven't experimented much with RS. I need to find Veronica's videos and give it a shot. Maybe this evening I can do that. Do you have any advice on performing it?

Also, one thing that tends to trip me up is self-doubt. I'll get into position or start imagining she's in the apartment or we're going to dinner in a bit--tonight, I'm making one of her favourite dishes, actually--and then I get all self-conscious and stop the flow of good energy. Have you (or, anyone, really) dealt with this?

Ignore any doubt.  Just keep focussed on your desire and enjoy the RS and visualisations as simply a way to make yourself feel good, but yeah, it makes you feel the connection/closeness with them again too.  They will feel it too.
