Hi Sweetie,
That soon, huh? I can sure understand your excitement and desire to explore it all.
However you MIGHT think about waiting a bit until you've had more experience running energy and it come more "natural".
Like trying to learn to ride a unicycle while juggling, but you just learned to juggle.
Does that make sense to you?
BUT, if you can't wait . . .

Thank you for the advice ... I do tend to get excited and jump into things with both feet. LOL!

I will keep in mind what you said, and take it slowly. Hopefully it will help enhance my journey towards QT.

I'm also concentrating on getting back the ability to see energy. When I was little I could see auras around people, but as I got older I assumed it was just my eyes playing tricks on me so I decided to "look past" or suppress seeing them. Eventually they went away and I was able to see more clearly (without the glow around people and things). It's only now that I am realizing that there was nothing wrong with my eyes when I was little.

Lately I've been concentrating on regaining that ability, and I think I am coming along slowly but surely. I can see my own aura (royal blue-ish with green edges) and my children's auras (light blue-ish and very shiny). It's harder for me to see other people because I need to look directly at them for a good couple minutes for the auras to start to show up, and people don't generally like to be stared at. LOL! But hopefully with more practice it will come easier and faster ..... and hopefully it will help with doing QT energy work. We'll see!

Hello, Alicia! Welcome to the Fambly!

I was most impressed by your story here, and the transition I was able to follow as you began your journey into QT. I am humbled. I nearly cried when I read your first post, because I felt the same way when I first started. Then, to see your progression - WOW! And HOW COOL is it that you were able to help your son relieve the pain he'd been enduring!!! I am most amazed.

What others suggested in the first few posts is very true...once you're just starting with this, it takes some practice to get more perceptive avenues to open up for you. Feeling the energy move along with my awareness was the first step, like many, many others here. Then, I asked to be able to "see" it, because like you, I used to "see" all kinds of non-physical, non-material things as a child. At first, I was concentrating and focusing so intently that nothing was happening, and then I stumbled upon Alain's "How to See and Perceive Energy" DVD. When he made the point in it to just ALLOW it to COME to us, and NOT REACH for it - and I tried that - it WORKED! Since then, I've been able to allow myself to completely open up and connect to that information, however it comes to me. Sometimes, I'll get the visual. Other times, it will come as a smell, as a taste, as a sound. However, most of the time, it comes as a "knowing." I don't know HOW I know, I just do. For confirmation, I'll ask the person I'm working with "is the pain moving here" or whatnot, and they'll tell me, 98% of the time, I'm right.

Whatever first comes to you is accurate, I've found. Honor whatever form that information takes to come to you, and more avenues will open up and follow. It's like having teachers tell you all your life that if you are taking a test, and you have to guess an answer, go with your FIRST thought. 9 out of 10 times, you're right!

Keep playing, and go with what feels natural and innate to you. Energy flows stronger that way when we just open up and allow, and have a playful state of mind with it. And, trust that your love is making an impact, because it is. God also told us that the greatest force in Creation is Love!

Thank you so much for sharing your story and developments with all of us. You probably don't know how much you are helping all the other newcomers, but you really, really are!

In love and gratitude always,
Ashley

Hi Ashley,
Thank you for your advice. I most appreciated the part where you said to honor what feels natural to us. I've been trying that these past couple weeks. The sweeping and breathing together feels awkward and I can feel the energy stopping and starting ... it feels "forced". I know I'm supposed to follow the program, but I tried to do my own thing instead. I figured if it failed, then I'd just go back to trying to make the sweeping and breathing work.
I find that if I just pay attention to the energy in my whole body at once, and increase it equally all throughout at the same time, then breathe out and feel the heat/energy flow from elbows out through my palms ..... that works for me. It feels much, much, much more natural. I've tried it on others and myself and it seems to work as effectively for me. It feels like it's what my energy wants to do. The sweeping and breathing feels like I am grabbing my energy and dragging it by it's ear up and down my body by force.
Anyway, because of your encouragement to trust myself, I honored what felt right to me, and I'm a lot happier.
I've also found that just sitting with my eyes closed, increasing the energy in my whole body, then spinning just the first 7 chakras (it feels more natural/easy than doing all 12), and then focusing my thoughts and intentions on my body healing itself, is also effective. I had moderate muscle pain/aches in my legs from a particulary hard workout, and after doing this for about 10 minutes, the pain was gone within a few hours.
I don't mean to be difficult or dodge the standard QT practices, but this way feels more natural to me. And I am thankful to you, because without your encouragement to trust ourselves and our own energy, and how it wants to move and express itself ....I would have never thought it was "okay" to try.

So far, so good.

It is absolutely more than just okay to try different things. Richard, Alain, Jody, and other QT experts continually encourage all to experiment and to play.

That said, the sweeping from the feet upward to the head and back down through the shoulders, arms, and out the hands is basic Quantum-Touch. The point of drawing energy from your feet and out your hands is avoid depleting our own energy or holding on to the clients' stuff. Again, basic Quantum-Touch.

In my workshops, I acknowledge that many students know other modalities and methods but respectfully request that they use only basic Quantum-Touch during the workshop since that's what the workshop is all about. I encourage them to practice, practice, practice THEN to experiment and play. Quantum-Touch works well with other healing methods.

Personally, the sweeping was totally opposite of what I'd been doing and it took some doing to flip it around. But I did and it seems natural now. Having attended the Core I workshop, I practiced with some other flows as well and found it fun to play with those as well.

Quantum-Touch clearly isn't the only effective healing method. You've found something that works for you. That's fabulous -- you're a natural. But I think that with practice, you might find that using the QT sweeping and breathing will energize you rather than deplete you.

Regarding the thinking part: Until I went to the Supercharging workshop, I figured that I was 'faking it until I made it' by using my imagination. I discovered that my imagination is what works for me. As Deborah Gair, my instructor, walked me through the techniques, I tried to allow things to happen. When I grew impatient with that, I decided to imagine I was doing what I was supposed to do. As soon as I started my imagination, Deborah could see the energy moving. Surprised me!! So that's how it works for me. My imagination is my intention that starts the energy moving.
