I remember hearing on the Basic videos how Richard spent ages watching and asking Bob Rasmussen how he had such great success running energy.

One of the things was he always saw the client as completely well. In the QT book Richard talks of Raising Expectation as an advanced technique (p.109 of my old edition) He says
"Holding a high level of expectation about the outcome of a session does clearly raise your resonance and can be a powerful factor in shaping the outcome of a session."

He also notes that asking someone to do that before they are ready may only put them into self-doubt. In which case he suggests 'Hold the belief that anything is possible.' Failing that, it's better to think 'I don't know what's possible' rather than 'this can't work!'

Positive (or neutral) expectation along with deep breathing allied to the sensation of the energy sweep - very powerful basic QT!

Very well said, and a very good point!

Thank you for sharing!

My favorite line is "Let's see what happens, okay?" Almost everyone can agree to do that. It's very allowing.

This is the opposite advice from what I usually hear. I'm usually told not to have expectations.

This is all very confusing.

Hey Neiby,

High expectations without being attached to the outcome is the key.

Having no expectations is actually very difficult, I find, because I'm a naturally pessimistic person! So my 'default' setting seems to be negative and to counteract that, I find it much more effective to substitute a positive expectation. I found that out from trying it one day when I'd started thinking I was doing it all wrong and nothing was happening. As soon as I generated a really positive expectation, the client commented on a sudden movement of energy. But when in doubt, try it out! It's only what I know from personal experience that adds to my confidence.

I'd suggest a simple little experiment. Try having no expectations; see what happens. Then see what happens when you change to a positive expectation. If you find that hard to do, it may be you're also on a generally 'negative' default setting.
Along with upping the breathing (fire-breath or slope breath) changing my attitude has a great effect and if nothing else, it makes me feel alot better and happier and I enjoy the session more!

It's all confusing if you're taking in information, but it's not when you learn it from the inside by doing your own experiments.

I have read a lot of very profound books about Universal Principles and one of the foundational Laws of the Universe is the Law of Mind.

I know there is a lot of hype about the Law of Attraction, which is fine, but so much other valuable information about how the Universe works is neglected.

Like other Principles that explain how and why Quantum Touch or any other type of energy healing work. One of the most important being the Law of Belief (Law of Mind) which states that what ever we hold to be true in our Minds becomes our reality.

Of course it goes deeper then that, but it is proven in Quantum Physics that what our Subconscious Mind believes becomes our reality to at least some degree based usually on our own perception.

So believing in a positive outcome and having faith in the process would seem logical to me when doing a healing session.

I know when I get focused on negativity... what I perceive to be negative seems to be coming at me abundantly. And vise versa... The more positive expectation (belief) I have, the more positive and abundant my life seems to be. (both perceptual and in "reality"

I love the concept of believing in a positive outcome. When I first started doing healing work, I had to do a lot of EFT and other release work to get past my pessimism and doubt. The results were and are profoundly positive.

Positive expectations; negative expectation are just "Word Games" in my book and in my mind.
I have learnt to "Trust the Process" I expect NOTHING! I no longer try to heal with my words or even my mind.
While "nice" positive expectations may be enjoyable to me, I do not believe that they can effect either my healing or my world!
One gram of INTENTION is worth a hundred tons of expectation!
Expectation means, how I think things will be in the future. Let me leave that to God while I take care, by intentionally trusting the process.
For seventy-eight years I affirmed for a process which I could trust because I have known it to work! Where do you think I found that?
Today, I went to give a nurse a healing for her broken arm. The energy went into her HA "broken"
arm but was completely stopped by her shoulder.
So I healed her shoulder of the v. bad sprain it had on it. Then her whole arm lit up with energy and we were both v. happy!

Huggie, I'm surprised you can't see a difference between positive and negative expectations! Spend time with someone expecting the worst and then with someone expecting the best. I know which one I prefer!
