metabolism, endocrine system, parasympathetic, reproduction, etc.? thanks, gina

Where you touch isn't all that important. Where you focus your intent is. For metabolism, targeting the stomach is the most intuitive, but make your intent the system. For the endocrine system, target any of the endocrine glands you know and make your intent, again, the whole system. Same pattern for the parasympathetic, reproductive, etc.

Energy follows thought, not your hand placement. From a literal perspective, hands aren't even necessary, which is why distant healing can be just as effective as hands-on. Of course, clients respond to the human touch, but I do look at it as an adjunct rather than a requirement.

Go with what you know. When in doubt, ask for the energy to be used for the higher good and trust that things will take care of themselves.

Hi kneadles,
My book is not with me now, but see the book look for "Immune system" in Index.

thank you guys. I guess even tho mutually exclusive, both tecniques are valid --- put your hands as close to the owie as possible; AND/OR -- it's not important where the hands go, only your intent.

For the endocrine system, the chakras are great - the chakras are intimately related to the endocrine system. So even if you're not exactly sure where each endocrine gland is, each chakra affects one of them. For reproduction problems, 1st & 2nd chakras are good. (And as an acupuncturist, you already know that kidney and liver energy is involved - so you could QT acupuncture points or the organs involved.) For metabolism, the throat chakra (thyroid) would be great. For the immune system, working with all the chakras, and spending more time on the ones where you feel the most sensation in your hands, is recommended by Richard, as well as areas of concentrated lymph glands. It's all pretty direct and straightforward.

Some people - obviously Trane! - find distant healing more powerful for them than hands-on. Some people - obviously me! - find hands-on more powerful for them. For me, the hands matter quite a lot to focus my intent and concentrate the energy field where they are placed.

RE: "I guess even tho mutually exclusive, both tecniques are valid --- put your hands as close to the owie as possible; AND/OR -- it's not important where the hands go, only your intent."

They aren't really mutually exclusive - it's more like, all the bases are covered! Yes, the energy will go where it needs to go, and clear intent always helps tremendously - but if you already have some commonsense knowledge about the area in question - or simply know where the owie is - it could go where it needs to go a lot more efficiently if you concentrate the energy field there!

Hi, Jocelyn.

I actually get more tangible feedback when I do hands-on, most of the time. It's just that the more distant work I do, the more I'm learning to trust what I sense. Even when I do hands-on, I tend to simultaneously do distant work on the same client.

As always, follow the owie!

Hi, Trane - I guess the basic thing with distant healing is trust. I'm finding that I keep repeating, "I feel it, but I don't really trust it" - guess that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy! I'm going to be more persistent in canning the negative self-talk I give myself about distant healing work.

I love both, but I find distant healing many times more time and energy efficient.

On the other hand, I get a much more palpable sense of the person, and can better use our healing relationship and working alliance as part of the healing process, especially when there are important emotional issues to deal with. (although I can usually do that about as well over the phone or in a chat session)

Jocelyn, I think the converse may have become true for me. Maybe it's because I do so much more distant healing work these days because of limited time, but lately I tend to be more vulnerable to a client's skepticism or inability to sense energy or be conscious of related emotional issues if the healing is in person than if it's distant. While, in either case (in-person or distant) when this happens, I often get feedback confirming the healing or impressions days or weeks later, at this point in my life, I'm more likely to trust in the distant work than I am when it's in person.

So I guess it's time for me to fit in some in-person healing sessions to rebuild my confidence and trust.

Blessings,
Alfred

And I guess it's time for me to focus in more on distant healing work!

Always great to have your insights, Alfred -
