| How Quickly Will People Heal?
How quickly a person heals is due in part to variables we do not control.
Simply offer the Quantum-Touch healing and allow their system to do it's
best. Here are some of the variables that determine healing:
- Nutritional needs (does their body have the resources?)
- Willingness to heal (on the surface it's always "yes," but underneath?)
- Time (some things take time, such as tissue growth)
- Toxicity or Congestion in the body (definitely hampers healing)
- Severity (intense or severe conditions won't always heal quickly)
- Emotions and Mental framesets that resist healing
Sometimes people keep a condition because they haven't learned what they
needed to learn from it. All conditions we experience in life have the
potential to provide lessons for us. This is especially true of disease,
illness, injury, emotional upset, etc. Often a person's condition is just a
wake-up call for them to pay attention to their life. Did they get the
message? If not, they may hold on to the condition until the whole process
is complete.
We cannot force people to heal and we are not responsible if they don't heal
as rapidly as we would like. Many things can be going on.
- Something else, even more critical, may be getting healed instead of the
obvious thing we are working on. This happens all the time.
- The underlying cause may be emotional, and the person resists moving
through the emotion
- The client is the real healer and their ability to heal depends
significantly upon allowing themselves to heal. Some people don't always
allow a healing if they feel that they "deserve" the condition. It's
possible to resist healing if it goes against a mindset. In this case, the
mental framework needs to be adjusted also.
- People heal as quickly as the sum total of forces allows.
You can think of all conditions as a balance of forces either regenerative
or degenerative. These forces act on 5 levels: Physical, Energetic (aura,
meridians, charkas, etc.), Emotional, Mental, and their connection to or
separation from Pure Spirit or Consciousness. The more regenerative forces
and the fewer the degenerative forces, the faster the healing.
As you enter the world of healing, you begin to see that you can help even
more by sensing deficiencies in nutrition, energy deficiencies, emotional
attitudes, mental framesets, and degree of spiritual attunement your client
has. You can take specialized training to learn these things if you feel
drawn to do so. The great thing about Quantum-Touch is that you don't really
need anything else to create remarkable healing, but if you have additional
knowledge in these areas and are qualified to offer it, it sometimes can
help.
If it's appropriate to your skills, training, and certifications, in the
healing session, you may find it appropriate to suggest ways to help your
client free themselves of the obstacles you sense are counterproductive to
their healing. Often simply getting the client into a greater state of
"allowing" is all that is needed to help things along.
One of the nice things about Quantum-Touch is that it breaks through so many
barriers without the need for specialized education. You don't have to know
everything or be clever. Simply run the energy and into a very simple love
space. That's enough to create remarkable healing in most cases, and it's
the best thing you can do from your side. The rest depends on the factors
over which we do not have direct control.

How Many Sessions Does it Take to help Scoliosis?
People often ask "How many sessions will it take to heal scoliosis or to heal...
(fill in the blank)?" It's a difficult question to answer because there are many
variables. When you visit our web site you will see the best case of scoliosis being
healed in one hour. Also, you will see a case of an older woman who had polio who is
still not straight after a dozen one-hour sessions, but she is about 70-80%
straight, which is a huge improvement. Most people fall somewhere in between.
The factors that determine how fast we heal are:
- Age
- The time the condition has persisted
- The number of regenerative factors in the person's life
That said, we are sometimes pleasantly surprised at how rapidly some people heal in
spite of what appears to be negative factors. So we never want to assume that a
problem won't heal rapidly.
The regenerative factors I mentioned include all the ways we take care of ourselves.
- Exposures to Toxic/Healthy Foods and Environments
- Emotional Health
- Rest
- Spiritual Practices such as Deep Meditation
The fellow that healed in one hour was on a good vegetarian diet, limited his
exposures to toxins, practiced meditation, and in general was doing his best
to heal and renew himself with as much as he knew. When we brought in the
Quantum-Touch energy, he was quickly healed.
Another element is how much people are willing to allow the healing. We work with
people to help them allow their system to ease into alignment. It's an art. The
willingness to allow and let the healing happen is a factor that we know helps,
but it is difficult to quantify and an art for both the practitioner and client to
explore. The best thing to bring to a healing session is an open mind. We simply
to not know the limits of what can be healed.

Can everyone learn to do this?
Everyone can do this, absolutely. Even in the beginning you will find that you can
do astounding work. This ability is built into every person. It does not require
years of study like learning the piano. You can be very effective from the
beginning and be of great help to people who are suffering. Even in a few minutes
you can relieve so much pain.
As you get more experience, you will find that you may get faster results. It's not
just experience, but the openness that you can sustain to allow the energy to flow
easily. The willingness to allow is a central factor and is an element of love.
So, just be your natural self and allow the energy to do its work without getting
too attached to outcome. The benefits will come just by holding the resonant energy
field. After awhile you will experience seeming miracles of healing. These miracles
are the natural result of the process that makes Quantum-Touch so powerful.
Quantum-Touch engages so many aspects of healing: Consciousness, Attention,
Intention, Love, Breath, Visualization, etc. I don't know of any better formula
for energy healing than Quantum-Touch.
That said, the advanced workshops can be useful. But don't think you need them to
do amazing work. You have very powerful tools in the basic workshop. If you have
the opportunity to work with Alain in the advance workshop, by all means do so.
But don't discount the knowledge you have already with the original material. It
is profound.

How does QT work for emotional release?
I find that it works extremely well. Especially because it gets the client out
of the psychological aspect and focuses the release on the place physically
where that emotion was stored in the body. It allows the release to take place
very efficiently. With any emotional release, there can often be tears, laughter,
or other response, but the ability to lift it from the physical/energy level is
remarkable. Usually there is some life lesson connected with the emotion (that's
why we still are holding on to it). If we can at the same time come to an
understanding of the lesson, then the emotion releases easier. Lessons often
center around forgiveness, letting go, willingness to move forward, and living
in the present moment.

What is the difference between life-force energy and electricity?
Life force energy appears to be a completely different kind of energy from
electricity. Current science does not have the instruments to measure it (yet).
It appears not to obey the inverse-square law which describes how most electrical
forces dissipate rapidly with distance.

Can seniors learn to do QT?
I've had excellent results teaching QT to seniors. They are often excited to be
able to do something for their health and they often come with a friend to learn
together. As usual, women seem to be more receptive. Progress is often a little
slower because of the stress built up over more years. But they understand that
and are not discouraged. Often the progress they make is extremely encouraging
because they have not had very much encouragement from anything else they have done.
QT bring immediate results and that is a boon to them even if it takes longer to
create a substantial healing. This is the most empowering technique for seniors
that I have experienced as a teacher.
-- Richard Austin
I've taught about 1000 seniors to do QT, and no one has had a problem learning
the work. Their results from giving or receiving QT sessions are also excellent.
-- Richard Gordon

Can you treat yourself?
Yes, you can treat yourself. Most people find that working on themselves produces
slower results than having someone else work on them. However results are achieved.
You do not need to physically touch the actual site of pain. You can treat it
like long distance healing or by touching some part of your anatomy that is
comfotable and through intent sending the energy to the area in question.

| Can you teach this to children?
I had my 6 year old grandson for the weekend. He has
Aspergers Syndrome and a serious intestinal problem. I
had been doing distance healing but decided to see if I
could teach him to do it himself. I explained it in simple
terms, but it is hard to tell if an autistic child is getting
it because they appear to not be listening. I had told him how
to spin it and give it color and to try to direct it to his
intestines. Later, we were in the car and I could hear him
doing the breathing in the back seat and then he said
"Grandma! I can feel it in my neck!" I few minutes later
he was sound asleep. Apparently his neck needed it.

Are the workshops for professional or lay people?
The workshop is for everyone. When I was on the road teaching
regularly, my workshops were often divided between professional
and lay people. About half were body workers, nurses, physical
therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, physicians, etc.,
and the rest were an assortment of folks, many of which had
never taken a healing workshop before. I've had children as
young as 8 and great grandparents. Everyone learns to use this
work effectively.

1. What is the difference between personal energy and Universal energy?
2. Which is the preferred one to use in Quantum-Touch and why?
Personal energy is your "essence" or base energy that maintains
your personal health and strength. You don't want to use this up
as it can easily make you ill.
Universal energy is that which comes from all around you and is
unlimited in supply. That is what you want to use and why you
want to use it. This is also what we use in QT.

Id' like to know if Quantum-Touch the same as QiGong?
To some degree there are similarities however QT does not gather
energy to store within in order to release later. It is a
constantly renewing format. There is no concern about picking
up "dirty Qi" as the breath work takes that out of the equation.
QT follows the pain instead of putting into particular acupoints,
though you can do this with QT. There are many more
similarities and yet differences.

| How can you work on yourself if it is hard to reach
the place that needs healing?
For the areas that are hard to physically reach do a
"long distance" style healing on yourself.
(Picture the part of your body that you want to work on
between your hands and send in the energy, just as you would
if you were working on someone else long distance) Also
understand that whlie working on yourself with "the basic QT"
usually does respond, sometimes amazingly well, it is often
slower than having someone else work on you.
This is one of the reasons that the Core transformation class
was researched and created. It is a more subtle form of the
work and it does take, initially at least, more focus or
concentration to achieve, but most people find they can work
on themselves as easily as on others.
That said, if you continue to work on yourself with the tools
you presently have, I would expect you to gradually improve.
QT works on pretty much everything. It does have different
levels of result on different people due to their particular
acceptance and willingness/ability to change. These "abilities"
are usually affected by emotional states, though there are
certainly other factors that can affect this.
So relax, enjoy, have a joyful attitude as you work and reach
into as giving and loving a state as you can as you work.
Love smooths and opens you and others to a much easier flow
of energy. Remember that it is a type of "gift" that you are
offering yourself, this is one of the keys to this work.
Alain Herriott, instructor (advanced QT classes)
|
| Which breathing pattern should I use?
Yes, find a breathing pattern that works for you. Relax, enjoy
and have fun with the work. A light heart makes for a smooth
flow of energy.

Is Quantum-Touch the same as Reiki?
Reiki is enhanced by Quantum-Touch. Quantum-Touch is a natural
and innate skill requiring no attunements or symbols. It can be
learned with simple breathing and body awareness techniques.
These techniques allow the Quantum-Touch practitioner to
powerfully focus and amplify KI (or life-force energy).
Reiki masters who have taken QT workshops have nicknamed
Quantum-Touch, "Reiki empowerment" or "turbo charging the
Reiki". I got a laugh when one of my students wrote in the
review of my workshop that Quantum-Touch was "like Reiki on
steroids." Both systems use the same energy, only with
Quantum-Touch you can learn to powerfully focus it, a skill
requiring concentration, body awareness, and breath.
I've taught Quantum-Touch to numerous chiropractors, physical
therapists, acupuncturists and osteopaths who have been
astounded to observe rapid structural realignment, reduction
of inflammation, and other benefits.
I'm confident that you will find that Quantum-Touch seemlessly
combines with Reiki to improve the outcomes of your sessions.
We guarantee it!

Why are specialized breathing techniques needed in
Quantum-Touch?
Quantum Touch is a method of energy flow that raises one's
vibration through specialized breathing techniques. Then a
practitioner may touch or think of another person and send
that higher energy vibration to them. The healer (person
being healed) entrains to the higher vibration, rather than
drawing the energy sender down to their vibration,
specifically because of the breathing techniques. There are
several variations to the techniques and each person will
find which breathing patterns work best for them, and which
patterns to use at different times. Richard's book explains
all this as do the workshops.

Is QT used to clear or release emotional issues? Or is it
only for the physical?
I find that it works extremely well. Especially because it gets
the client out of the psychological aspect and focuses the
release on the place physically where that emotion was
stored in the body. It allows the release to take place
very efficiently. With any emotional release, there can
often be tears, laughter, or other response, but the
ability to lift it from the physical/energy level is
remarkable. Usually there is some life lesson connected
with the emotion (that's why we still are holding on to it).
If we can at the same time come to an understanding of the
lesson, then the emotion releases easier. Lessons often center
around forgiveness, letting go, willingness to move forward,
and living in the present moment.

Why does energy follow our thoughts? Thanks!
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has shown us for the last
80 years that the observer is part of the observation. You
cannot observe anything without affecting it. My contribution
to the discucssion is that CONCENTRATED OBSERVATION HAS A
CONCENTRATED EFFECT. QT through its many methods brings
more awareness and consciousness into the observation and
thus has a deeper and faster impact from the quantum level
on up into the macro visible realm.
|
| I have to admit that I am "imagining" the sensations
more than I am actually feeling them. Will the sensations
increase as I practice? Will they change? Grow stronger? Is
imagining them enough to activate them?
Some people are more sensitive than others, especially in the
beginning. Practice and be sure to "play" as you do it. A
joyful attitude allows the energy to flow more easily.
Feeling sensation is not necessary to doing great work with QT.
Keep practicing and you will likely develop the ability.

Does skepticism or doubt inhibit Quantum Touch?
One of the most amazing and wonderful aspects of QT is that the practitioner may hold tremendous
skepticism and still do great work. The person receiving may be skeptical as well.
I remember asking a chiropractor at a workshop who had never attended a lecture to demonstrate that bones
will move into alignment with a light touch using QT. He said that he taught at a chiropractic college, and
he knew that it was impossible, he had never seen it done, and he knew that he could not do it. It took me a
while to help him take the tension out of his hands since he was accustomed to using force. A minute later,
he couldn't believe his eyes when he succeeded, and he had to repeat it on four other people before he finally
let himself believe what had happened. Afterwards he just stood there with a huge grin on his face.
In time you will get over your skepticism, but in the meantime, its fine to be as skeptical as you like. Keep
the breathing and the body sweeps working and you will get over your doubts.
There is a part of us that is always doubting and wants proof. It's not wrong to listen to this part of
ourselves. Doubt can't be overcome by trying to ignore this doubting voice or trying to force belief.
That just creates an unnatural inner state. This doubting part of us only listens to experience. When
experience proves to us the reality of something, such as the healing phenomenon of Quantum-Touch,
then that doubting part of us becomes a great friend and ally.

| Why Moving Bones Really Matters
One thing that sets Quantum-Touch apart from other hands-on healing
approaches is that our students can easily assist the body in moving bones
into alignment with only a light touch. Most people who attend a live or
video workshop discover that they can do this during their first workshop,
and often before lunch break on the first day. So why is it important?
First, the QT practitioner does not put the bones back into alignment; the
body intelligence uses the energy to move them into alignment. When
misalignments, or as the chiropractors like to call them, "subluxations"
occur, they can interrupt the proper energy and nerve flow throughout the
body. So how do I know that it is important for the bones to move? The
body tells me. When you run energy and see that the bones quickly melted
back into alignment, this is a message that the body prioritizes good
structural alignment. A block in any part of the body will affect the total
potential flow of energy throughout the body and affect the speed of all
potential healing.
BTW, when the hips are not aligned there may not be enough room for baby's
head during labor, which can be a primary reason for C-sections.
