I recently took the Quantum Touch workshop in August. During the seminar I had a difficult time learning to feel the energy. When we were doing the part about focusing just on one finger I could feel it sometimes, but only on the finger on my right hand.

Then when we were doing the sweeping with a partner to feel sensations, I could not feel anything. Well, I could feel someone touching me, but not anything else, and I could not duplicate feeling any sensation at all when we were sweeping.

I've been practicing at home on the breathing and the sweeping. Sometimes I can feel a little bit of a tingly sensation or heat in my right hand or feet, but not the left hand; and I don't feel any sensation at all during the sweeping. I don't have a person to do the body sweeping like it shows in the book, so I've been doing it on my own as much as possible, but it's not working.

I'm getting really frustrated and need some help please.

Hello & welcome to the board. The secret is not to "try" to feel something. The harder you try, the more elusive it is, the more you are frustrated, then you lose interest.

Instead, just breathe, try a 4-4 and stick with it for a while, instead of changing the pattern from one to the other rapidly, because you are trying. Only change to another pattern when you begin to feel a slower vibration in your hands. THEN kick it up a notch.

Just breathe, then add the sweep, and WAIT FOR SENSATION TO COME TO YOU. You get into the "allowing state of mind," which will bring the desired results orders of magnitude faster. Just wait, with the expectation that energy is already moving....already present, already flowing.

Know that energy is all around you, in you, over and below you, to the edge of the universe. Vibrating energy = matter, therefore since you and I are made of matter, we are already vibrating...we ARE that energy. You cannot escape it, never ever. After you die, your molecules & atoms & subatomic particles will still be vibrating. It's all connected, and you can never deplete it. All you need to do is allow it to flow through you. Changing the mindset from "try" to "allow" will make a huge difference.

Also remember that energy flows out and down to your hands ON YOUR EXHALE, especially when You're just starting the work. So it may be that you are aware of sensations in your hands on exhalation, which is in terms of physics, called pulsatile flow. Your heart pumps blood out on every contraction, hence it is pulsatile flow, and we can count the pulses, the heart rate. Pulsatile flow is as natural as can be, so if you sense it that way, join the party.

Another trick is to pretend that you feel sensation, but frankly that never worked very well for me, whereas visualizing the universe of vibration that makes up everything, and just letting it come, works best for me.

Try practicing in short sessions...trying for long periods of time in the beginning can be counter-productive. As time passes, you start thinking, "Why don't I feel it?" and there you go, trying and not just allowing what is already there, to move to and through and around you.

You'll do fine. It will come! Let us know how it goes. Beginners tend to make it too hard, & when they simplify it by not trying, it comes.

Love to you.

Forget about feeling "the energy". Can you remember the sensation of your hands running up your legs, over your body, up your head, then down your arms to your hands? Do it a few times, then recreate the sensation. Then do it with a 4-4 breath. Energy follows thought. Practice and see what happens.

Hi JenLS:
You can use your imagination with good results. First, close your eyes and stroke your forearm from your elbow to your wrist with the opposite hand's fingertips. Use a bit of pressure so you can really feel it. Do this three times in rapid succession, noticing how that feels on your arm. Then immediately after doing this, with your eyes still closed, IMAGINE you are stroking your arm as you just did. IMAGINE feeling that sensation again just as you remembered feeling it the first time.

Imagine the sensations of the leg and full body sweeps just like this. You may or may not actually feel them at first or for a long time, but PLACING AND KEEPING YOUR ATTENTION ON ACTUAL, REMEMBERED AND IMAGINED SENSATIONS is the key, because this is the body awareness that is the basis for doing Quantum Touch.

I hope this helps you get the hang of it all.

Blessings,

Alfred

You can do the same with

Thank you for your help. I have been practicing diligently and just today I was able to feel some sensation from feet up to just below the knees. I will keep working!

Thank you

Hi Jen,
Well done! Did you know that if you daydream about sunning yourself on the beach, the bloodflow will increase to your skin and your temperature will heat up slightly? Yes, the energy in your body follows your imagination and intent!

Next I would put a little extra attention and awareness on your thighs as you inhale and imagine they are exposed to summer sun.

Congratulations on your continuing success!

Blessings,

Alfred

Hi Alfred,

I've been practicing and I'm able to get the sensations regularly to about chest level now, but it skips the lower stomach area and jumps above to about the belly button region. I keep working on that area and imagining the sensations, but I'm stuck. The only thing I can come up with in that area is that I have 2 C-section scars. Is it possible that the energy is blocked in that area because of the scars? And if so how do I correct that?

Thanks for your help,
Jen

Hi Jen, yes, I believe that there is a blockage in that area.
Insist, allow the ene, energy to flow, don't push, take time, don't worry. And, remember, do it experiencing every element of your physical being. How do your feet, ankles,legs, hips, stomach FEEL? This is an advanced interaction with universal energy.
An unhealed injury to a specific body part have the potencial to develop a blockage.

Jen, If you're feeling stuck on a blockage try just flowing around and over that area. See if you can get sensation beyond that point. The blockage will eventually clear. Try it, see what happens.
