About Quantum-Touch®
by Judy Wolmarans
This article is part of our 'About' series where we asked practitioners of various healing modalities and therapies the same set of questions to give you some background information, features of the healing modality, health benefits and what you might expect from a session with this type of practitioner.
1. What type of healing modality or therapy do you practice and how would you summarize it?
Quantum-Touch® - It is an energy healing modality that accesses life-force energy to accelerate the healing process. Quantum-Touch raises the vibrational frequency of the life-force energy through certain breathing techniques and body awareness meditations.
2. Why did you decide to become a practitioner in this field and what do you enjoy most about it?
I read the book Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal by Richard Gordon and while practicing the principles, I found that it not only worked when used alone but also enhanced the outcome of my Bowen Therapy practice. I love it because it is easy, simple and extremely effective.
3. What is the history or foundation of this therapy/healing modality?
Richard Gordon, who has made Quantum-Touch® what it is today, met and trained with an American, Bob Rasmussen who came upon the work intuitively in the early 1950's while trying to solve a young girl's bowed legs. Bob intuitively started breathing and focusing techniques while placing his hands on her knees. Within moments the girl's knees straightened. Richard Gordon was asked by Bob when he retired, to continue to teach and enhance the technique.
4. What are the key features and components of this form of therapy/healing modality?
The following are the key principles of Quantum-Touch® (pg 26 Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal):
- The healer is the person who was sick and then got well (no-one can really heal anyone else).
- The ability to assist in healing is natural to all people.
- Energy follows thought - the practitioner uses intention and various meditations to create a high-energy field and uses that field to surround the area to be healed.
- Resonance and entrainment cause the area being healed to change its vibration to match that of the practitioner. The practitioner simply raises and holds the new resonance.
- Trusting the process is essential.
- The energy follows the natural intelligence of the body to do the necessary healing. The practitioner simply follows the pain.
- Breathing amplifies the life-force energy.
- Combining breathing and meditation techniques together causes the energy to line up which increases its power many times.
- Quantum-Touch combines easily and effectively with other healing modalities.
- Healing can be done at a distance very effectively.
- The ability to connect with one's spirituality in whatever form, and asking for help, adds another dimension of power to this work.
- Love is a universal vibration. It is the foundation of all healing and the core essence of the life-force.
5. Does this therapy/healing modality cater to the physical body, mind, emotions, spirit, or a combination of these?
This healing modality addresses all of these.
6. When should someone visit this type of practitioner?
Quantum-Touch is beneficial for routine health maintenance and for diseased or injured bodies. We recommend seeing a practitioner regularly and especially as soon after an injury as is possible.
7. What can someone expect from a session?
Sessions can be anything from 5 minutes to an hour or even longer. It depends entirely on the nature of the injury and the speed at which a client's body responds. We follow the pain until the pain disappears or is significantly reduced. Healing generally continues for 3-5 days after the session.
The client remains fully clothed and can stand, sit or lie down during a session, which ever gives the easiest access to the injured area and is most comfortable for the client. The practitioner will place his/her hands over the injured area and start "running" the energy. Feedback from the client is essential so that the practitioner can "chase the pain".
During a session clients might feel heat, cold and tingling sensations.
8. What are the most common outcomes for clients?
Cessation of the pain, a sense of well-being and deep relaxation. Bones can move back into alignment and bruising can disappear.
9. Can you share some success stories from this form of therapy/healing modality?
a) A group of 5 practitioners and I were working on a client who experienced a stroke. She was semi-paralysed on her left side, her left hand had formed a claw and her left leg was cold. She had recently fallen and had bruises on her left foot, leg and arm. After 30 minutes of Quantum-Touch®, her bruising had disappeared, her left leg was the same temperature as the right and her hand had relaxed and was no longer in the form of a claw.
b) A quilter came to me for a frozen shoulder and severe pain in her scapular area. After 1 hour of running the energy, she had no pain, and had full mobility of her shoulder.
c) I was heating some oil to do a hot-oil treatment of my hair and poured the hot oil onto my hand. Unfortunately the oil was too hot and burnt my hand forming a blister. I ran energy into my hand and after 5 minutes there was no sign of the blister, no redness and no pain.
d) Six students of Quantum-Touch worked on a woman with scoliosis, fibromyalgia and extreme pain. She crawled up the stairs to the room we were all in. For 30 minutes we ran energy and slowly her scoliosis straightened out. Her pain moved around quite a lot and then dissipated. At the end of 30 minutes her spine had straightened about 90%. She could walk without a limp for the first time in her life and the pain had completed lifted. She literally danced out of the therapy room with a huge smile on her face.
e) I was at a seminar with a friend and she was showing me her arm where she had been bitten by a dog. It was red, hot and had a hard core round the bite mark. I decided to run some energy into her arm before the seminar started and as I started the lecturer put on some music and the Blue Danube started playing. I laughingly said to my friend that I would "waltz the energy" into her arm. 5 minutes later as the lecture started, she felt her arm and the redness had disappeared AND so had the hard core round the bite mark.
10. Is there anything else that stands out to you about this form of therapy/healing modality that you'd like to share?
Quantum-Touch is a break-through that can uplift human consciousness, reduce suffering and improve the well-being of all. It is a very simple technique, anyone can learn to do it, even children, and it is fun to do and immensely rewarding.
