Unfortunately no one has been able to provide a physical mechanism that links consciousness (however defined) to any unique brain process. It's just an assumption born of naturalistic bias.

Glad to see you back, Chad.

Unfortunately, you are incorrect in assuming the absence of any physical mechanism linked to consciousness and brain processes. It may not be completely understood and explained but the fact that alterations in your brain chemistry affect your consciousness is undeniable. If, as you said in another thread, you are depressed and treat it with drugs, then you should be personally aware of this phenomena.
