I've just this minute joined this site, and am looking forward to asking many questions i have about QT: I hope that's ok?

I was attuned to Reiki 1 in may 2003, and have since then done R2.

I personally have not been too pleased with my Reiki abilities, and am now very interested in QT.

Unfortunately, because of financial circumstances i am unable to attend any classes, though i would really love to.

I have Richard Gordons book which i bought about 4 months ago, but i'm still having problems with the breathing, and feeling sensation when doing body sweeps.

Asking questions and reading others, i think will really help.

Hi Julia, so nice to meet you. Im Mckenzie aka Mrs.D. welcome to the forum! The chat here every morning at 8am PST(west coast). is a great place to get your questions answered. All the people here are so full of love and energy, and it is always nice to see a new face. I look forward to seeing you.
Peace
Mckenzie

This is a great idea, we should have had an introduce yourself thread long ago.

try doing some practice sessions on others (occiput/hips for starters). per the book, visualize the gathering and giving of the energy even though you have no physical sense of it. the positive feedback from your clients will "free up" your senses and dissipate your self doubt.

Hi aura, welcome to the site and wonderful world of QT healing! I know one person who's in Birmingham, too, and posts on the site, so I'm sure it won't be long before you feel at home!

Ask any questions you have, but also use the search facility on the site; there's loads of info from experienced healers here about almost everything you could imagine already!

Enjoy the ride, best wishes, Jane

Welcome Aura!
You will find that as you practice this work, all kinds of circumstances in your life will change for the better. Keep working on your breathing and sweeping...run some energy into the way you would like you financial circumstances to change, and in time, you will get what you desire. I suggest you search past posts about all topics where you have questions. This is a good start, as there has been much wisdom shared on this board over the years.

Thankyou all for your replies.

I did Reiki for one reason only, and that was because my youngest sister fell seriously ill 4 and a half years ago.

She was a nurse for 15 years, until she suddenly
developed a neurological illness that still yet
hasn't been diagnosed. White spots were found on
her brain so MS is suspected. If it is MS,it is
a very aggressive strain as she hasn't even been able to even sit up for the last 2 and a
half years, and can hardly use her arms at all.

My mom, sister and myself jointly take care of her and her now aged 13 year old son.

My father is also bed-ridden and has been for many years due to a car crash when he lost his
leg.

I have a small family with a lot of health problems. I am riddled with arthritis,my spine especially my neck being the worst and i rarely sleep with pain.

In saying this i must say, that since the day i
first did Reiki, i have never for one day missed giving or sending healing. Despite either giving hands-on or sending my sister healing, she is steadily getting worse and worse.

I feel that my only hope now is QT as what i have read about it sounds amazing. I do practice every day, and even though i beleieve that i'm going to be a slow learner, i'm not ever gong to give up.

I will definately be scanning this site for help and mcuh needed advice. Thanks again for your input,

Julia

Welcome Aura/Julia,
Glad you've joined us here.

When I took the basic course, our instructor encouraged those of us who couldn't feel the energy to continue as if we could. He said over time and with practice, the our ability to sense the energy would sharpen.

That said, please remember when working on your family two things 1. It is they who do the healing, you just send the energy. 2. Their bodies receive the energy and do what their bodies need to do with it.
Several of us have found working on family to be very difficult. I think we are too invested in making it right for family, rather than just passing on the energy. That doesn't mean you shouldn't send to them, it's just an encouragement to stand back a little and if you can't, to find another practitioner who will work with your family.
Last, keep running the energy for anyone you can, for besides gaining experience, you'll receive a treatment every time you share energy. [The energy flowing through the QT'er's body seems to allow us to achieve balance on the way to the client.]

Do also, join our chat (by my estimate it's at 4 pm GMT). We generally create a distant healing circle and it's very powerful. I learn a lot each time I go.

Looking forward to seeing more from you,
Jan

Dear Jan,

I agree, it is very hard when giving/sending Healing to family members. You really must do your best to try not to almost beg the Energy to help them.

In the past i have a times sat and sent Healing to my sister with tears rolling down my face; but lately i have learnt to a degree to constantly remind myself to be detached and simply give the energy, and to expect nothing!

It's hard, and at times i must admit i've been very angry at why she's not being helped; but of course that doesn't help.

In Richard Gordons book it mentions that to 'feel' sensation depends on each person, and can takes hours or even years to achieve. So when i feel like i'm failing, i remember that and and it gives me hope.

Julia

Hi, Every time you think of someone you love, why not just feel the love? Rather than trying to be detached when sending to your sister or anyone else, why not concentrate on how much you love them? that will achieve the detachment you need, not from them, but from thinking you're in charge of what happens, or that the universe is unfair etc.
You can use anger as a great motivator - try and transform your attitude from blame and judging the illness etc as wrong, to focusing and sending love and blessings along with the healing. This will feel great for you! It will also allow the energy to flow and increase the QT healing effects dramatically.

I have a piece of music that might help you get an idea of what this could feel like - if you send me an email (to healing@healingsymbols.co.uk) I'll send you the mp3. It's called 'sam's song' and was written to welcome a little baby into the world. Every time I play it I feel a sense of the energy field of love washing over me. That's how easy it can be!
best wishes,
Jane

Hi, this will be my first time responding but your post resounded in me for Reiki was my first to -- then Quantum Touch and QT is by far more powerful for me.
It is always harder to work on family you should request for the QT community send to your sister or to yourself. See and feel what happens.
Check to see if there is a QT healing circle near you or start up one. There you can practice and be worked on too!

Glad to see you made it to the board. I look forward to reading more of your posts.
