Hi all,

I'm new to QT. I read the book. When I do the exercises in the book, I don't feel any energy flowing.

I don't practice much on other people (I lack guinea pigs!) but when I do, it seems to work. I don't feel any energy flow through my legs and body, but I feel it enter my chest through my back and neck, then go through my arms and glow warmly around my hands. It's actually quite impressive! The people I practiced with said their pain went away and they felt rested and relaxed. They also generally keep sighing while I'm doing it.

I've got two questions:

1) Is it okay if I don't make the energy go up my legs and through my whole body?

2) Today I did some QT on my boyfriend who had back pain. This was a very strange session. I did not feel anything. There was no flowing and no glowing, nothing.

It also was like there was some kind of barrier between him and me, like he didn't accept the energy. But he was open for it, he is the one who asked me to do it.

He fell asleep immediately and slept during the entire session. I got very, very tired too and had to lay down and sleep as well. This is very unusual, since I normally feel very energized and fit both during and after a QT session.

To me it seems like it didn't work. He says it doesn't hurt anymore now, but I'm not sure that's because of the QT session. It just felt so weird, and after the session he said there was almost no difference.

Do you have an idea what could have happened? Was I being too attached to the outcome? Should I have pushed through the "resistance" with some heavier breathing?

Thank you! Love to all.

It is okay if you don't make the energy go up your legs and through your whole body -- especially if it's working for you. However it's not Quantum-Touch if you do it that way, it's something else. One thing you will learn about this community is that we like to play and experiment.

Regarding the experience with your boyfriend's back issue. Falling asleep is quite normal during a session. One possible explanation for your sleepiness afterward might be that you had some healing to do as well. Another is that you used your own energy rather than life force energy and you exhausted yourself. A good remedy for that is to assure that you do run the energy from your feet through your whole body and out your hands. That will assure that you have a plentiful supply of energy rather than depleting your own.

Regarding the barrier you felt during the session, you could approach two ways. Try some of the more powerful breaths as described in the book. Or you could try a more allowing and relaxed attitude. Next time, try both and see which works.

Remember, sessions will be different as people are different as situations are different. Issues within a single session may be different as well. Have fun, play -- and remember to breath.

Welcome to the fambly.

Rather than "making" the energy flow in any particular way, try to think about ALLOWING the energy to find its path. The life force energy is always there, everywhere, below your feet in the Earth, in the air around you, everyplace to the end of the Universe. Everywhere, and it's all connected.

By allowing that endless supply to flow through you, around you, you will never use and deplete your own energy. Rather than pushing through resistance, (force) try sensing that the resistance is melting away as life force energy moves toward, around and through it, like a stream of water melting a cube of sugar. A sugar cube is hard, with hard edges, but is vulnerable to a gentle flow of water. Some will go through the sugar cube, some will pass around it, but those flows will dissolve the sugar from within and from without. Try changing the color of the "water," the energy.....perhaps it needs a chakra color, or one of the 12 colors from the 12 color meditation. Experiment with it. Change the color until you sense that the obstacle is melting away. You can just watch it dissolve and melt away. Sometimes a simple visualization such as this can help a person to work through a blockage or rough spot.

Energy will flow, like water flows. When it encounters resistance, even mountains, it will find a path, and in time, the mountain will erode away.

I love Cris' reply. Thanks, Cris!

Love to all.

Ali, I love this image of the sugar cube - what a fun visual to really feel and see it melting.

When I have trouble with shields, I think of the colors and patterns in a childs kalidescope. I get all the chakra colors in the K, and also get many more just by dreaming them. I allow them to float away from me, as others come into my third eye. Done thusly, I don't have problems with allowing the energy to flow, as it already has gone into the healer.
Just try a cheap little childs kalidescope and keep amidst your healing tools.
Works nicely for me.
Hope it does for you.

Hi Hektor,

Welcome to the forum and it's fambly!

Since you have your boyfriend to work with you can do the exercises on page 34 to 43 with him.
Ask him to apply the strokes to you following the instructions exactly.

Take your time to feel the sensations and see if this helps to get to the full body sweep.

Second:
Running energy to your boyfriend may feel different then when you treat a client. I have the same when I run energy to my husband. He doesn't feel anything but later in the day his pain decreases and he forgets about it.

As each relation is different, different explanations my apply. The forum has some topics about running energy to partners and I thought Mervyn Foster spoke about it in his lecture.
You might be acustomed to each others energies.

And of course you can play with the suggestions from Alice, Chris and Zeneagle.

Keep us posted on your experiences!

Good luck,

Geert

Hi all,

thank you so much for the warm welcome and excellent advice!

I did a second session with my boyfriend and this time everything worked just as usual. I think the problem was that the first time, I was sitting on the bed in a quite uncomfortable position, with my legs folded under my body. My feet did not have any contact with the floor. The second time, I was standing and solidly grounded, as I usually am.

Maybe the energy *does* run through my legs, even though I don't feel it, after all. :-)Do you think it's possible that I absolutely need to have my feet on the floor?

I loved the image of the sugar cube, I resonate with it much more than with forcefully breaking the barrier. I also played with different colors. Green turned out to work very well and melted the sugar. :-)

So, thank you so much all of you.

Much Love from France,

Hektor Marie.

Hello again -- If having our feet on the floor made a difference for you, I would say to do that, especially if your are new to QT or other energy work. As you work, over time, you'll find that it becomes easier, and that you may not need to have your feet on the floor or ground.

Allow it to evolve for you. Do what works for you at any given time, but experiment as you go. Practitioner comfort IS important, one big lesson that you've already learned....so congratulations, that is a big one!

Another lesson learned is that visualizations work! You tried colors to melt the sugar, and found one that worked for you. At another time, with another client, another issue, a different color will work. The key is to have fun and experiment.

My "key words" when doing this work at any level are "flow" and "allow." You may have different guiding principles, but those two are my rocks in the work. If I find myself getting out of the flow and out of an allowing state, I say "OOOOPS" and re-focus, and I am certainly capable of getting out of the flow and out of allowing! The key is to try to recognize it, when you have moved out of flow and out of allowing.

Much love to you....Keep up the good work!

Hi Ali!

Thank you so much for your kind words.

You are right about practitioner comfort, visualization, and changing colors. I did a session with my sister two days ago and this time it wasn't green. For some reason it was orange.

I remembered you and kept "allow the flow" in mind while doing it. Her period pain was gone in about five minutes and her tense neck muscles relaxed in just a couple minutes. She said it was incredible. I am so happy.

Thank you very very much!

Much love to you too,

Hektor Marie.
