I went to a QT practitioner yesterday for a session. I spent about 2 1/2 hours with him. I have had back pain for a long time and went to see if this might help. I really felt nothing during the session, no sensation of energy, no real relaxation. I felt a little weird as he did his breathing thingy and placed his hands on different parts of my spine, but I thought well what the heck, if it makes my back stop hurting.... He asked if I felt any thing and I said no, then of course he started with the ...well sometimes people aren't ready for the healing blah blah and I thought to myself well maybe this just doesn't work. sorry to be the stick in the mud but that's the truth. I wish I had a happy story, It was kind of disappointing.....Bill

Hi Bill. Sorry you had no results. Like any other discipline - the skill level between various practitioners varies widely. I've had sessions with different practitioners and I've noted marked differences in ability. I know this system works - I would just try to get a recommendation from someone who has personally worked with someone versus just picking a name at random. Generally, instructors have more experience. Maybe try to connect with someone in your area who teaches. Also, try www.harryedwards.org.uk - they offer free healings and are very good. I know there is a solution out there for you - just keep looking.
Best of luck,
Deb

Hi Bill,
Sorry you didn't get any relief from your pain.

Rick (my husband) was practicing QT for a couple of years before he had a situation where a woman wasn't helped at all. Up until then it always brought an easement of pain or condition. The varience was always the degree. Sometimes it helped a little, sometimes a lot and sometimes he saw dramatic, permanent results in one session.

I don't know of ANY modality, alternative or traditional, that is 100% effective all the time with everyone.

If you peruse this website and message board, it's quite obvious that "this" DOES work. And that's the truth.

I can't explain WHY it didn't work for you that one time. There are so many possibilities...sometimes a condition, especially if it is chronic or congenital, can take a series of sessions to see results. I've known some people (I think we all have) who wouldn't know what to talk about if they did't have their ailments or such and they are very attached to them.
Then, even though we are dealing with life force, each individual's energy is different and affects others differently. One may respond better to one practitioner than another.

If I were in your shoes, I'd do a little EFT or emotrance work on my self for the condidtion first, before I went for any more treatments of any kind. It would certainly increase my chance for success.

All the best to you Bill.

Hugs, Christina

Hi Bill,

Sorry it appears you didn't receive any healing, however, I would encourage you to keep an open mind. If you felt nothing during the session it could mean that you are somewhat blocked to the energy and even though a lot of energy was pumped into you it may take some time for it to manifest. You could be what we term a delayed responder. I was that way when we first started working with QT. It would be a full 24 hours before we would have any idea if the treatment was affective at all, and then sometimes a day or so more before the full effects were felt. I have since cleared my blockages and can feel the changes start to happen during a session, but it still takes overnight to know what the full extent of the work was.

After a treatment where the practitioner only uses, what we term, the basic techniques healing can continue for up to a week, when supercharging/core is added or used it can sometime be as much as two weeks.

One other question do or did you have any other conditions that the energy could have worked on? Sometimes when we have other problems, be they physical, emotional, or mental (like wrong ideas about how life works), the energy will go to work on those. So take an inventory of everything that was bothering you and see if you don't see a change over the next few days.

And lastly. Do you really want the healing? Be totally honest with yourself, because if you REALLy don't want it you can block all the work that the practitioner does, or make it very difficult for the change to happen. Even if you think that QT can't work strongly enough it can affect the outcome. Openness and allowing greatly enhance the effects.

This technique works wonderfully as I can attest to all the amazing healings I've seen in the four years we've been involved. I can't understand the total lack of change, as I have never seen it. As others have said sometimes it is a small change and sometimes a large one, but any change is a "miracle" for someone that has been suffering for a period of time with no relief using any other modality.

Thanks for your responses Debra,Christina and Deb. Although I believe you are all well meaning, I find it offensive when a person goes to a healer for a treatment that does not work,each one of you responds in some way it must be my fault there are no results. Do you have any real scientific studies, controlled experiments? It seems they would be very easy to design. Each one or you stated I(the person recieving healing) needed to "Do" something to help with the healing process."If I were in your shoes, I'd do a little EFT or emotrance work on my self for the condidtion first"or" Do you really want the healing? Be totally honest with yourself, because if you REALLy don't want it you can block all the work that the practitioner does, or make it very difficult for the change to happen or I like this one from someone who does not know me" I've known some people (I think we all have) who wouldn't know what to talk about if they did't have their ailments" VERY SAD Bill

Hi Bill,
Sorry you are disillusioned.I am fairly new to QT so can only speak to you from limited experience. Wondered if you have read the book? Have you been involved with energy work for a long or short time? Whatever, from my Reiki experience I know that long term problems do not usually resolve overnight, however, QT is much faster than Reiki. In the book Quantum-Touch, Richard Gordon says "no one can reallly heal anyone else. The person in need of healing is the healer. The practitioner simply holds a resonance to allow the body to heal itself." You may yet notice some differences. Don't give up. Try another practitioner, as suggested, read the book, take a class. It truly does work. You were not being judged, people just trying to help.

Dear Bill,
If you read my post carefully, at no time did I suggest the problem was with you. On the contrary, I stated the problem could be with the practitioner. When I was first introduced to QT, I had a session with a woman and received NO results. Then, I thought, well, I'll try someone else, and received dramatic results. It could also be this modality is just not for you. I do believe, however, that somewhere there is an answer for you - I would just keep searching. Another book you might want to check out is - Pain Free For Life by Darrell Stoddard. He makes some excellent points, and I can vouch for his sincerity. He also sells a tape which you can apply to any part of your body which reconnects the broken electrical signals (similar to what acupuncture does) to relieve pain. I'm sure everyone here wishes you the best of luck.
Sincerely,
Deb

Thank you Deb, I did go back and reread your post and please accept my apology. It just becomes very frustrating trying to find an answer, or to get some relief and nothing seems to work. then on top of the treatment not working you get told "well you must be blocking or "your not ready to accept the healing" or some other nonsense. People that are hurting would like nothing better than to stop hurting. Plain and simple. The practitioner I saw is an instructor and has been doing this for 15 years using many modalities.(Reiki, QT accupresure, meridian energy work)I will see him 1 more time next week (which he offered for free.) and I will document any results. good or bad .I believe myself be be a fair and balanced man, mostly of sound mind and rational judgement...thanks for your post....Bill

Hi Bill, Still wondering if you have read the bood and have tried to do QT on yourself.

Dear Bill,
I know how frustrating it can be to try different methods of healing and not have any work. A few years ago, I had this recurring problem - couldn't breathe, felt like I was having a heart attack - and I went to the emergency room. Well, their prognosis was - nothing is wrong with me, I have the heart of an athlete and the problem is all in my mind, i.e. I need a therapist. Well, my symptoms did not abate, and I kept going to the ER and getting nowhere. Finally, I realized when I would adjust my back or scrunch in certain directions, my symptoms lessened - so I figured my problem was structural. Finally, I figured out what was wrong - a hiatal hernia (the classic symptoms are difficulty breathing, and feel like you're having a heart attack.) Now, that's my long winded way of saying - don't give up. Not one of the doctors I talked to even suggested that a h. hernia might be a possibility. They all claimed I was imagining things and having panic attacks. Did your problem start as a result of an accident, surgery? Maybe it's dietary - lack of calcium, lack of water? You've basically got to be your own detective and try to figure out when you feel better or worse. Lastly, on another thread, someone talked of a psychic chiropractor. www.bahlaqeem.com He doesn't charge unless you are helped. I absolutely wish you the best and know you can be healed. Deb

Hi Shirley...Yes and Yes, for many years now Thanks.... Bill

hey Bill, Thanks for answering,just wondered.

Gee Bill, since you have been doing QT for many years now and even visited a practitioner with no benefits, I would recommend you try a different modality! I think after the first year or two of no success I might give up! You're a warrior!

Hi Bill,

Thank you for posting your question about "no results." You've nailed the secret dilemma that clouds the unconscious or conscious mind of at least one practitioner...me. What if my work produces No Results? And then there's the one...what if it produces results that increase pain instead of lessening it? The thing about life that perplexes me is, Where do we go for answers to questions like these?

This past year I took a year of "sabbatical" after 20 years of giving bodywork to hundreds of people, because the disparity between great results and no results was always in my face.

One answer I have found so far is, the person doing the healing, that is, the person with the pain, like yourself, needs the balance of receiving touch, and giving touch. When the person in pain, healing him/her self, doesn't use his/her own hands to give healing touch to others, an imbalance is created in energy flow. And Balance seems to be the key.

I guess I'm encouraging you to find a way to let the life force energy flow out from your hands as well as into your back, your meridians, etc?
Does this info resonate for you?

Thanks for writing what few people want to write!

Louisa,
You make a very interesting point...one I've never really considered from your point of view. It could explain why many people who are in need of healing for themselves will naturally feel compelled to learn some kind of healing work during or after their recovery. It could also explain why many of my clients have become my students. It's all part of the exchange and flow of the energy.
