Recently, about ten minutes into a session I begin to sweat profusely, to the point where I am quite wet. It is very distracting and I am wondering if others are experiencing this same thing, or what it might be. This has happened three times in the last two weeks and not always with the same client. I'd appreciate any advice you can give me.

Thanks... Nancy

Hi Nancy,
When I read your post, I was reminded of this other one from a year and a half ago.
I know it's different, but similar vein:

Thanks Christina. Some of the ideas seem to fit. All I know is that my health is good, I get plenty of fresh air, don't eat too much before sessions, sleep well etc. I only hope I'm not short-changing the person I'm working with, because for those 15 or so minutes I can barely touch them, nor even stand. I'll keep you posted.

Try visualizing the energy flow up through you as a cool color, like blue. Not so far-fetched. Some people experience the sensations in their hands as a cool-breeze feeling. I have had clients tell me that their experience was cool rather than warm. That's fine...they are still experiencing the energy, and each person experiences it in their own way. Try all the cool-breeze colors, even something like a dry sage-green. That is a wonderful vibration, by the way!

If you are perspiring, might that be a manifestation of energy emerging through the skin? I mean that as a concept, a visualization. If you visualize it NOT emerging through skin, and "hanging together" as a flow, till it emerges at your hands, it may change the vibration.......this is all just musing on my part, the thoughts that just come when answering your post. A flow of ideas.

When I did hypno-anesthesia in the O.R., and did other medical hypnosis, I learned the power and value of vivid visualizations, and how they can and do affect physical responses in the body...pain for one....why not sweating? The most powerful visualizations are the most vivid ones, the unreal ones, the "impossible" ones, because they suspend critical thinking and still that little "voice" in the back of the mind that says "This is impossible."

Like visualizing pain as water flowing from a faucet. You see the flow on your mind's little movie screen, & you see the faucet and its handle. Is the handle metal, or plastic, is it round, is it a lever, is it painted, is it rusty, is there dirt on it....etc. SEE the details. Layer them, create detail in your visualization.

Then, you see your hand reaching for the handle. What do you feel at the touch? Is it hot, cold, smooth, rough? Is it vibrating, as some faucets do, when the flow is high? And hyour ears hear the water...is it a smooth sound, or is it turbulent? Is it splashing as it hits...is that surface hard, or is it a bucket, or a mud puddle? The sound will be different.

NOW you have the start of a visualization. You are using eyes, ears, tactile sense, and your mind's eye.

Now you begin to turn the faucet handle. Does it move easily, or is it all crusty inside, gritty? Garden-hose faucets can get all crusty...is your faucet in the garden, or is it at your gleaming kitchen sink? If it's the hose, what color is it? In your imagination, it can be any color you like. Now you are using your sense of space, you location in space...another sense. Proprioception.

Now you turn the faucet slowly, maintaining your high level of observation of the details. You aren't even thinking of the pain thru all of this, you are concentrating only on the visualization of the water, and all the minutest details. Does it sparkle? Is the sun shining on it? Or is it muddy or rusty? A pain visualization might not be clear water...if not, it's OK, so it's rusty.....but as you turn the faucet, you gradually decrease the flow, AND at the same time, you see it beginning to clear up & become less rusty. It's layering sensory perceptions...flow and color. If you are outdoors with a hose, fill in some details....grass? trees? wind, or a breeze? Did you hear that Cardinal singing? Is it morning or afternoon? Are there shadows? Falling water will make a shadow. It's all in the details.

As you turn down the water, close the faucet, begin to notice if anything is going on with the pain. You are turning the faucet closed VERY slowly.....and just casually notice from time to time as you do so, if the pain is changing. Then re-focus on the faucet, on the flow, the water.

This visualization works. It may take repeated sessions, over time, and you may want to vary the details as you go, but it is an amazing thing how this can work, not only for yourself but for your clients. I do this and other visualizations aloud sometimes with my clients as I work. Then, the client knows the visualization, and can take it home to be used and re-created at their desire. Take 20-30 minutes time to work on a visualization. Do it as you go to sleep. Pour yourself a cup of tea, sit in your lounge chair, and have at! Waiting at the bus stop? In the dentist's office? Long checkout line? Use the time!

Build your own visualization or use this one as a starting point and experiment. It's all in you mind's eye, so the sky is the limit, go for it.

After you have closed the faucet as far as it will go, re-measure the pain. You should have given the pain a number at the start, of course. Write it down...it's visual and tactile, writing the number. Then write it again at the end. Every sense you use is like opening another vibratory channel. It's like having a choice of seeing thru a keyhole or a wide-angle lens. You'll "see" more, experience more, on a vibratory level, the more "channels" you have open.

So the secret of good visualization is vividness, layers upon layers of detail, and a bit of zaniness that will get you around, or suspend, critical thinking. Purple water? Zebra stripes? If it's zany, use it. Shoot the pain up in a rocket, seeing the rocket in every detail. See the rocket land on some distant planet, or into the sun. Vivid. Unreal. Suspends critical thinking. It'll work.

Now fire up your excellent imagination and give it a whirl. Whirl! Now there's a visualization, ha ha ha.

Love to you.

Wow Alice that's a powerful visualization. Unfortunately it doesn't answer why after 4 years of doing QT and 5 of Reiki I am suddenly getting this intense sweating and while the cooling visualization may help if I'm not working on someone, it's difficult to step back from the session for 10 minutes to cool down. I guess I will have to find a way to incorporate it into my work for the benefit of the person I am working with.

Hi Nancy

I get occasionally these sweat outburst during a session but they have got less and less. I guess they indicate an energy shift in me. Energy channels are getting cleared or even start to open. I'm not very concerned about it anymore. The sweat it self doesn't smell, so I just change my shirt.

all the best

Einar

Thanks Einar... I guess..like you say... it must be an energy shift that is occuring... perhaps a raising in vibration that requires a kind of cleanse to proceed to a higher level.

I'll have to find a way to work with it.

Nancy

Hi Alice,
That was an amazing,creative visualisation technique that you share.Its so powerful,my gosh
its superb........
Hi Nancy,
I do experienced what you have,i sweat terribly but am glad that i did because i feel healthy from
what i do......
Lots of love and blessings from Sha

Ali - what a great, creative visualization! Love it!

Nancy - I often get hot while doing energy work; I figured it just came with the territory and dress lightly. I wear shoes I can slip out of, sleeves I can push up, etc., and keep a fleece blanket nearby for the client.

In Chinese medicine, the skin is partnered with the lungs and large intestine. I wonder if your QT breath work is expelling stuff from your own system? Sometimes foods that are promoted as 'so healthy' are not really (I'm thinking of soy, etc) and maybe your system is trying to clear house?

Did you try breathing blue light and if so what happened? Just curious
