If a friend of mine has, say, a hurt ankle or a headache, it's easy for me to tell her that I know this technique that might help, to put my hands on the area, and begin doing QT. That may "fix" it for sure, for the time being, at least. But I've been concerned that if I do that too often, I won't be empowering people to really heal themselves.

So here's my question: what are your favorite simple things to teach people so they can heal themselves rather than remaining dependent on an external means of making something feel better--whether it's a "healer" or Advil?

I suppose I could easily teach someone the basic QT in a few minutes. And I remember reading a session report by a woman had had migraines, but had been helped by Richard. After a quick session, Richard apparently taught her some relaxation/visualization techniques to help ensure that her migraines did not return.

What else can you all suggest as good ideas to help ensure that you really "teach a man (or woman!) to fish," perhaps in addition to giving energy to hold to space to help alleviate or "fix" his/her present discomfort?

Thanks for your insights!

Hi Cameron,
I use a simplified version of EFT or emotional freedom techniques. I teach this method to little kids almost on a daily basis to get rid of emotional and physical issues. Simply tap on the finger points on the diagram http://www.freewebs.com/stevelevine/efttappingpoints.htm as you focus on the emotional issue or the physical issue you would like to change. I always ask how much the issue hurts or bothers them from 1-10, 10 being the most pain. We do a few minutes of tapping the finger points while focusing on the problem and like magic the issue is gone or greatly diminished. For chronic, longstanding issues, and very negative people it may take much longer but will still work. Make sure you are hydrated before you start as it will help the technique work more efficiently. I typically see 95% success rate with EFT. You can also use EFT surrogately or remotely by imagining that you are the person that you are trying to help. Works for animals too.

Blessings
Steve

PS Since this IS a QT forum I would add that you can teach QT just as well as EFT. Whichever your intuition tells you would be preferable for the situation or whichever feels more comfortable for you to use. It's all about helping people to heal.

I prefer giving them the tools of the QT process and suggesting they read the book. To me and for me this works well.

Additionally I have them feel the emotion around the issue and just let themselves process it. This has worked the best of many things that I have tried.

Hi Cameron,
Oh, man, I like the way you think.

The most important thing that I share is: knowingness that every person is a healer and that they are able to do QT too to help themselves and to others they love.
In my experience almost every person I've said that they can do it too, especially if I done treatment to them, expressed the wish to know more about QT, at least up to the point of releasing their current problem, if not more.
With Love,

Excellent suggestions. Here's my two cents. I always look for what might be causing the problem, whatever that may be. Ask lots of questions and try to narrow it down to physical / emotional / spiritual / energetic / psychosomatic / etc. or see if you can trace it to something that happened or a particular habit. Ask them when it gets better and when it gets worse. Play detective. The cause can be different for everyone even for the "same" problem. This is such a huge field of inquiry that I think you could also benefit from listening to my radio show where I look at all these possible causes of disease and how to correct them naturally. I'm on every Tuesday evening at 5:30 Mountain Time on www.realcoachingradio.com Just go to the site and turn your speakers on, that's all there is to it. Hope to see you there.
