Hi, all!! I'm really loving this QT. We've had a lot of good experiences with it so far in our family. Body sweeping is improving at last and I'm really pleased about that.

My question is about energy build-up, if that's what I'm experiencing. I remember reading in the book about shaking off your hands and rinsing them in cold water, etc., but it doesn't seem to be helping. I even tried to mentally release it from me, but I can't figure out how to do it.

It happens AFTER the end of a session. Things generally go along swimmingly during the session, body sweeping, breathing, healing, no weirdness, etc. But I've come to dread finishing a session because within 2-5 minutes AFTER we're all wrapped up, once I finish up and walk away, my hands and arms begin to throb and ache up to my elbows. I can only imagine that it's energy build-up that has been described in the book unless someone else has any ideas?

If you are working with tense hands & arms, they can throb like that when you relax & the tension is released...it's the blood refilling the arms and hands. Be sure that your hands are loose when you're working, and arms too. Practitioner comfort is one of the main things to watch for.

During practice session in the workshops I am constanly having to remind the students, "Loose hands!" "Practitioner comfort!" Most of the times, the students have NO idea that their hands were like claws and their arms & sometimes their backs were stiff as boards. They're trying so hard.

The timing sounds right, 2 to 5 minutes after you finish, you relax, your heart re-fills the places that were under tension, and you feel the throbbing. Really really monitor that and it may make a difference for you.

Love to you & good luck.
