Oxygen goes in, we feel better.

So, just as I was sitting down to lunch a little over an hour ago, I started feeling the most hideous tightening clenching in my chest, worse than asthma, worse than panic, worse than anything, and for a few seconds the world turned red black in my eyes and my heart stumbled... and I grabbed my left wrist, pressed my right thumb on the pressure point just where my hand meets my wrist, below the pinky, and after three minutes I felt better. But I threw away half my avocado veggie wrap.
I know what caused it now. There's nothing I can do to make it better, because it's an empath thing, it's someone else's panic, and it's too far away. Can't lock myself out of it either, my empathy power doesn't work that way. But at least they know I'm here, wishing hoping loving worrying.
I just hit the Sea of Energy and Third Eye points too. A little easier now. I just wish...
Fucking universe.
Ohh. Someone is standing behind me, stroking my hair with cool fingers. I smell jasmine and vanilla in my mind -- Kara. I close my eyes and see her: wide oval pale moon face with the ice cobalt eyes (she's wearing onyx eyeliner today) and the cupid bow lips (plum red lipstick, like mine) and her lips are moving, she's saying something but I can't quite hear: No. There it is. "Breathe."
I'm breathing. I want to do more than that. Teleportation. Kisses that taste like summer rain and hugs that feel like sunshine.

and then it was roses, and i was brighter, and then i was breathing.
in. out. over. again.
and now it's ocean water over my eyes and my lips smile and we are neither of us alone, ever, and that will always let me breathe.
thank you.

Even when we are alone, we are not. Someone is there.
*blows you jasmine and vanilla kisses*

Who is Kara? Tell me about her. :)

She is one of the characters in my novel. All those characters have become guides, guardians, angels if you will. Kara is the best friend of Dana, the main character and the one closest to me. Kara's avatar, the Unicorn, is not the Christian-represented unicorn of the Middle Ages but fierce, loyal, powerful tempermental, etc. It represents protection of innocence, pure trusting love. It represents sex in the purest form.
I don't know how far you've read into all my posts about my book. But basically, in the book, the four central characters (okay, five) possess powers that represent certain cosmic entities: The Phoenix, The Dragon, The Unicorn, and The Tortoise. Rather than use the direct Chinese mythological aspect, I decided to borrow aspects from all over the world (ie, the Phoenix myth from Egypt, China, Iran, Ireland, America, etc). So Kara's Unicorn is actually every single myth ever told about the universal unicorn all rolled into one.
I'll post a little scene from the book that describes Kara, later. I haven't done that yet.

Wow, sounds awesome! I'd buy your book. :)

Well, thank you; that's actually very encouraging. :)
