I have practised Quantum-Touch Healing since attending an interactive video workshop in February 05. I had come across the website quantumtouch.com and read Richard Gordon's book "Quantum-Touch; the power to heal" but I really didn't feel I was understanding how to do the very simple techniques described! I found a workshop happening in Essex through phoning one of the U.K's qualified teachers (see the website for a complete list of practitioners and courses.)
The Interactive video workshop is good value for money; I highly recommend it as an affordable method of learning. However, having run 6 I now offer a shorter 'Quick Start' session. Over two hours you will practice the basic QT method (as described in the Quantum-Touch book and Day One of the video workshop) and 'get going' running energy. you will go through the basic stroking exercise to start to feel energy, then practice running energy, breathing patterns and hand positions. You will receive Quantum-Touch healing as well as practice giving healing. See Quick Start Session for more details.
Four months after learning to run energy, having practiced on myself and anyone else I could find, I was told I was 'cured' of cancer at my 5-year hospital check-up - no traces left in tests at all! This was remarkable since despite all my efforts in the previous four years, there had always been a low level of the cancer marker showing up. This was a great relief for me, as I needed no more check-ups and could forget all about cancer. I've been using Quantum-Touch ever since on friends, family, pets and plants. Since qualifying as a practitioner in 2006 I have also treated many clients. I now work at the Healix Wellbeing Centre in Southgate, North London, as well as from home in Palmers Green N13.
The history of Quantum-Touch is interesting. Richard had just written a book on Polarity Therapy when he discovered he was living next door to a man who had incredible natural healing abilities - Bob Rasmusson. Bob used a method of deep breathing and gentle touch which brought quick and profound healing - it even caused bones to re-align all by themselves! (Read Richards's account in an extract from "Quantum-Touch".) Bob Rasmusson had been an intuitive all his life, could pass exams without studying just by asking for the answers to the questions, and had been healing people quietly, right next door, for years. Richard spent all the time he could with his neighbour, learning how he did it, and developed the Quantum-Touch method of training to enable others to learn and do the same.
Basically the method involves deep and controlled breathing combined with a conscious awareness of energy flowing through the body. I think it's probably one of the most important things any of us can learn! Quantum-Touch brings the mind and body into alignment and is energising and grounding. It is a great aide to all other healing modalities and can successfully be combined with Reiki, massage, acupressure etc. It is very similar to the ancient Huna tradition of Ha breathing and can be used in distant healing, manifesting and personal development.
