one of the most difficult questions i have is where to begin for a problem (chase the pain?) or go to a central location (pain in jaw, start with back of head?)...also how long to stay (only until pain is gone?) anybody with good ideas?

Ask the client where it hurts and go there. Stay there until you sense that it's complete. Sometimes that sense will come because they tell you the pain is gone. Sometimes you'll sense it via some form of clairsentience (sp? or is it even the right word) of one form or the other. Sometimes you'll know it because circumstances stop you, e.g., you're out of time. You may be able to feel it in your hands. There are a myriad ways of knowing when the session is complete. Everyone has their own way which may be different at different times. The best thing I can tell you is to notice what you notice -- pay attention. Hope my ramblings help....

hi, thanks for response; how long to repeat to continue if there is no repsonse...ie. no change in bone alignment with scolio; when do you determine that there might not be that physical change?

Sorry, I don't have a different answer -- same as above. Maybe you worry too much about doing it perfectly?

hmmm...good thought: so intuitively letting go, "allowing"...thanks for your response, helpful,simple but perhaps at the core

About no response, etc...
Remember, sometimes the client feels, heat or cold, and not always they have the same feeling.
Smetimes they don't feel a thing, but the results are fine , latter.

If you are not getting a sactisfactory result, use the chakra technique, work with them, maybe the energy you are offering is not the one the client needs, us them all (KINNDS OF ENNERGY) working with the chakras.

And, above all, HOLD A POSITIVE EXPECTATION!

Hi willing,

I don't understand why it's difficult at all.
Cris' "ramblings" are right on.

Unless it's an emergency situation where we are running energy to let's say an injury, we begin all our sessions the same.
After measuring the hips (front and back), checking the even-ness of the shoulders and measuring the occiput, we start on the head (sutures) front and back.
We feel this helps to balance as well as "prepare" a person to accept on an emotional level the healing and changes that are about to occur.
Then we take care of any imbalances that we found.
THEN we start on the "where does it hurt" spot that they came to us for.

Sorry, i'm not sure if I understand the first part . . . how long to repeat
Do you mean if there are no results in an hour-long session, how long before you would do it again?
With or without results, I would schedule the next session several days later - if the client is willing. There is so much that is happening that we (and they) can't see.
And in a combined almost 15 years of doing QT Rick and I have only had ONE instance where the client didn't detect some result in one session.
So again, what Cris said, and Wilson. No worries.
Just offer the energy with love and intent. Get into that space where all questions and objections leave and you are into the moment - like with a mantra or a runner's high.
Instead of "Use the Force" I'd say "Let the Force (Energy) use you.
It will work out fine.

"Let the Force use you" is such a perfect way to state it. The same is said of the Native American flutes I collect and play...the first thing I learned was what the old-timers say: "Let the flute play you." It's no different when doing energy work...It is all flow, all vibration, regardless if it's the sound of a beautiful instrument, or the vibration of healing love.

When I try to force a new song to come, it goes so slowly! If I just sit back, remove my "thinker" to some other place, and "let 'er fly!" the melodies just come. My problem is remembering the melodies for future use, LOLOL, but that's another issue. The melodies DO come, if you allow the flow to reach that wonderful combination of flute, hands, and sacred breath.

It WILL work out fine!

Sweet music to you all!

thanks to all....wonderful insights and help in several ways; question regarding how often to repeat is regarding partial improvements occurring, or those that are totally or partially improved that return. However....i am not following the balancing methods outlined (occiput,etc), and i know those from the book, etc. but often the balances are there already and i'v only go 30 min. to work (logistics). Still, I will try your advice, because after reading above, probably much is in (my) intention...and "letting" it happen. Thanks again to all...very helpful
