May I Have Your "TENSION", Please?

UPDATE 26 November 2016: In June, 2016, I purchased and read Richard Gordon’s book, “Quantum-Touch 2.0 – The New Human: Discovering and Becoming”, then completed a QT 2.0 Workshop in Plano, Texas during the last weekend in October, 2016. I have begun to add healing stories as a direct result of personally practicing the QT 2.0 techniques.

To read the even more rewarding benefits of Quantum-Touch® 2.0, please click on the QT 2.0 Healing Stories page in the menu.

There are plenty of websites promoting different healing modalities, all of which have incredible, sometimes almost unbelievable, testimonials. Not knowing the history/background/credibility of any of those people testifying to the effectiveness of those modalities, there is no way to know if what they say is true, or if their stories have been embellished simply to promote the technique.

This page was created to share some of my own incredible, sometimes almost unbelievable, results I have personally seen using Quantum-Touch®. Please know that I understand I am not the healer. Richard Gordon, founder of Quantum-Touch, says, “…anyone who claims to be able to heal others is either ignorant, mistaken, arrogant, or delusional.” Quantum-Touch simply helps to establish the optimal environment for the body to heal itself.

Perceiving Colors

In 2002, one of my massage clients came to see me to relieve her shoulder pain. After her 1-hour massage, I asked if she would like to experience a 5-minute demo of a new technique I was learning. She agreed. (NOTE: She was only the 2nd person on whom I had ever practiced Quantum-Touch). As soon as I sandwiched her left shoulder between my hands, she immediately said, “I’m seeing lots of purple, fading into green, then back to purple, then back to green.”

I thought to myself, “Now here’s someone who can perceive healing colors while I’m working on her. I decided to test the validity of one of the intermediate techniques called “Vortexing”. I spun the energy through my body on the inhalation and, as I was exhaling, I added the QT “What you love most” technique (highly technical term, I know).

Without saying a word, I imagined my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter between my hands and vortexed the energy. While I was exhaling on that very first breath, the woman exclaimed, “WOW! EVERYTHING JUST BECAME SOLID WHITE!!” I asked, “Just now!?” (I was just as surprised as she was). When she answered, “Yes”, a feeling of deep satisfaction came over me, confirming that I was evolving even further along my path of helping others to be free from pain and/or discomfort.

The colors she was seeing seemed to be significant only because they changed so dramatically at the PRECISE moment I changed my focus and intention. That’s when I began to realize that this stuff really works.

Varicose “Tube”/QT vs Reiki

During the first 10-minutes of our first 15-minute practice session at one of my video workshops, a 73 year old man (student) had me work on the “ringing in his ears”. Then he asked if I thought QT “could do anything for this….” He pulled up his left pant leg to reveal what I literally thought was a 1-inch diameter plastic TUBE sewn to his skin. The tube began about 3 inches above the right side (medial aspect) of his left knee, then continued down along the medial aspect of his leg to about 3 inches below his calf muscle.When he said it was a varicose vein, I was amazed. I never knew that a vein could get that big and still function OUTSIDE a person’s body!

I began to sandwich his leg with one hand over the vein and the other on the other side of his knee (the lateral aspect), until I realized that this vein was large enough to sandwich directly. I spent the last 5 minutes of the practice session working my way down that “tube”.

When it came time to practice a group session, I worked on the man’s ears again while 2 students worked on his vein at the same time. I wanted them to see what they could accomplish with Quantum-Touch.

When we returned to the workshop the next morning, we asked the man if he had noticed any difference in his vein. He said he forgot about it until we mentioned it, then added that was a good sign because his leg usually hurts in the morning, but he just realized that he was not in pain.

He lifted his pant leg for us to see. The improvement was dramatic. The diameter along the entire length of the vein had shrunk to at least HALF the size it was the day before. We continued working on it during the remaining practice sessions, and at the end of the workshop we asked to see his leg. The vein was now about the size of a ballpoint pen refill.

This workshop inspired one participant to write, “In the 3 years I’ve been practicing Reiki, I’ve never seen such immediate results as I have this weekend.”

Every Cell Vibrates

While visiting a friend, one of her friends was complaining of low back pain. I offered a 30-minute Quantum-Touch session to “Trent”. Again, he was among the first people to receive a Quantum-Touch session from me. After balancing his pelvis and occipital ridge, I had him sit on the ottoman while I sat in the chair behind him. I triangulated my fingers and began running energy into his cervical spine, then slowly inched my way down his back, running energy into each vertebra. When I reached the area between his shoulder blades, I asked him to give me some feedback. He said, “It feels like there’s a ball of energy directly under your fingertips, and everywhere above that feels totally aligned and completely balanced.” That was encouraging. I continued offering energy all the way down to, and including, his sacrum.

When I finished, Trent stood up, stretched and twisted around a bit, then exclaimed, “This is amazing! Not only is my low back pain gone, I feel like every cell in my body is vibrating!” He then walked over to look at himself in the mirror (his shirt was off). He then exclaimed, “OH MY GOD! MY STERNUM IS FLAT!” I calmly responded, “Yeah, it’s supposed to be.” He explained, “No, you don’t understand. My sternum has always protruded at least 1/4 to 1/2 an inch from my chest. But now it’s completely flat!”

I put 2 and 2 together and realized that, although my focus was on his spine, ribs attach to the vertebrae, then wrap around the body and attach to the sternum. As his spine was realigning itself, his ribs naturally went along for the ride, correcting the structural imbalance he was so accustomed to seeing in his sternum.

An hour later, Trent stated that he could STILL feel every cell in his body vibrating. It was then that I had an “AHA!” moment: Although I was offering energy to Trent’s spine, I realized that, because the energy was doing the healing, it wasn’t going to simply stop at his vertebrae. The healing energy continued THROUGH his bones and into his spinal column, which houses the Central Nervous System.

Offering energy to the spine can benefit every cell in the body.

Deep Vein Thrombosis

An 81 year old man was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (blood clot) in his left leg. His M.D. wanted to admit him to the hospital to be treated there, but the man stated he could not go to the hospital because he had to take care of his mother(!) His doctor gave him my card and said, “Give this guy a call and see if he can help you.”

It was a Wednesday afternoon when I got to the man’s house. He was laid back in his recliner with both legs elevated, watching the “Speed” channel. His left leg was swollen from his knee to his ankle. I had him stand up so I could align and balance his pelvis and occipital ridge, then asked him to sit in a chair with his left foot on another chair in front of him. I sat next to his left leg and began doing Quantum-Touch for a full hour, inching my way from his thigh all the way down to his toes.

When I finished, he stood up and said, “Well, it feels “different.” Although not quite the results I was hoping for, “different” was an indication that his body was responding to the energetic changes initiated by the Quantum-Touch. I explained that it takes energy 24-hours to make a complete cycle through the body and that, even though the hands-on part of the session was finished, he might notice further results within the next day or two.

His doctor called me with this follow-up: His patient called him the next morning and said, “I don’t know what that guy did to me yesterday, but the swelling in my leg has gone, it doesn’t hurt as much, but my ankle is still swollen.” The doctor was so pleased with those results that he phoned his patient the NEXT morning (Friday) at his home and asked how he was doing. The man replied, “Well, the swelling in my ankle is gone, and my leg doesn’t hurt AT ALL! I’m feeling so good, I’m thinking about going out to the Red Hill’s Horse Trials this afternoon.”

His M.D. scheduled an appointment for me to work on him the following Friday afternoon. As I sat in his waiting room, the 81 year old man walked in. The doctor took BOTH of us to the same exam room, then asked to see the man’s left leg. It was his first visit since his QT session. When the doctor measured the circumference of both calves, they were exactly 14 1/4 inches. The 1-hour Quantum-Touch session provided lasting relief from his deep vein thrombosis.

“Forgotten” Incident was Source of Pain

It was during one of my free 15-20 minute demos at our local food co-op (New Leaf Market) when a woman came to me with upper back/neck pain, plus chronic left forearm pain that she’s had for years. After balancing her pelvis and occipital ridge, and working on her cervical spine and upper back, I focused on her forearm for the last 5 minutes. After the session she stated that, while working on her forearm, an incident surfaced in her mind that she recognized as the probable source of that pain. This incident occurred several years ago. She thought she had already dealt with it and had forgotten about it. She not only felt less pain, she was happy to have that unpleasant emotion surface.

She lives at least 40 miles away, so I was surprised (and humbled) to see her waiting for me at the co-op for the following Monday’s QT demo sessions. She told me that she made the trip specifically to receive another QT session.

I worked on the same areas as the previous week. Her feedback was that she was amazed! She said the healing on her forearm “picked up EXACTLY where it had left off last week.” This time, with eyes closed, she clearly saw the person who caused the injury. Then she described looking into the open end of an hour glass, laid out horizontally at eye level. She saw the person slowly walk away from her, towards the narrow opening in the middle. Then, after disappearing through the center, the hole was sealed with red paint. She interpreted that as a sign that the incident was now in her past, and that she could totally release all memories of it. Her forearm pain was gone.

I love Quantum-Touch. I didn’t have to ask her anything about the person or the incident. I didn’t have to make her share her story with me, or drag her through the emotional trauma associated with her pain. Nor did she have to re-live any of those unpleasant moments.

Without shedding a tear, her body’s innate intelligence KNEW what needed to be done to release that pain. It was tailor-made for HER understanding. No history taken, no objective observations, no analyzing what “might” be causing her pain, and no plan other than to offer the Universal Life Force Energy with love to her forearm.

Every day, I thank all the powers of the universe for allowing me to work with them and watch their magic unfold.

Unexpected Bonus from Free Demo

During another free demo at our food co-op, a 16-year old girl sat in the deli and watched as I did a 15-minute session. She asked if what I was doing could relieve stress. I said, ‘Yes, absolutely.”

Just before I began her session, her mother joined us in the deli. I showed the mother that her daughter’s pelvis was higher on the right, then “ran energy” into her pelvis. After a couple minutes, I showed her mother the noticeable improvement in her daughter’s pelvis, although it was not yet completely balanced.

An inner voice told me to spend a couple more minutes on her pelvis. Within 2 or 3 breaths of the second round, I could literally FEEL both sides of her pelvis melting back into alignment! It was a subtle, yet HUGE release. When I checked her alignment after a few more breaths, both sides of her pelvis were totally even. Her mom thought that was cool.

After another 10 minutes working on her daughter’s scalp, cervical spine, shoulders, and upper back, the girl stood up. I asked if she felt any more relaxed. She did. Even her mother commented, “I can tell by her voice that she’s not as tense.” The girl then walked around the deli for a minute or so while I talked to her mom. Her daughter interrupted us when she exclaimed, “Mom, my knee doesn’t hurt anymore! Remember I said my knee was hurting and that’s why I was walking with a limp? Well, now my knee doesn’t hurt and I’m not limping!”

Her mom watched her walk around the deli for a few seconds, and then exclaimed, “Omigod, her FEET are almost straight!” Not knowing what she meant, I asked for an explanation. She said that for YEARS, her daughter walked with her feet externally rotated (toes pointing outwards – like Charlie Chaplin). But now, her feet were NOTICEABLY straighter!

Apparently, that huge release in the girl’s abdomen relaxed not only her pelvis and left knee, but also brought both legs into a more “normal” structural alignment, correcting a postural imbalance she’d lived with for years.

The genuine smile and heartfelt “thank you” I got from her mother was much appreciated.

Interesting Client Comments

It was the 2nd day of a 2-day video workshop. During one of the 15-minute practice sessions, I worked on a lady who had some pain in her right shoulder. I “sandwiched” her shoulder between my hands and started doing the Quantum-Touch breathing and body awareness.After 15 minutes, I asked if her shoulder felt any different. She said, “YES! I feel like my shoulder is totally porous – like it’s not even there!”

At that point, her husband added, “That’s what I was trying to tell you yesterday. After he worked on my head, it felt like my entire skull was open and I was connected to everything!”

While doing QT in my living room on a lady this afternoon for emotional issues, my patio door was open at the back of the room, and the front door was also open. A gentle breeze was wafting through the room. At one point, the lady calmly stated, “This is cool. I can feel the breeze blowing by me, but I’m not aware of my body. I feel like I AM the breeze.”

After nearly 2 years of practicing Quantum-Touch, I’m still amazed at the variety of experiences that people have both during and after their sessions.

Remarkable Insight

A woman came to me stating that she needed some understanding as to why her 8-month old baby granddaughter died. Not wanting to drag her through all the emotions associated with the recent event, I did not ask her for details. I simply asked, “When these emotions come up, in what part of your body do you feel them?” (ie, the QT “Where does it hurt?” technique). She said she never thought of that before, then realized the emotional pain was in her upper abdomen, specifically her diaphragm, because she had a hard time breathing whenever she’d remember the incident.

I asked how she would describe the emotion. She said, “Confusion”. Then I asked what the opposite of that would be for her. She answered, “Clarity, understanding”.

I supercharged both of us, placed the U-NAN pattern in her upper abdomen, and surrounded it with a bubble and the appropriate colors (as taught in the QT Supercharging Workshop). I sandwiched the area front and back, and offered clarity and understanding for 20 minutes. Until then, it was the longest time I’ve ever left my hands in one position without moving them.

When I stopped to move my hands to another location, she got real excited and asked, “Are you done?” The look on her face and the gleam in her eyes told me she was already feeling better, but I felt there was more I needed to do. I continued working with her heart chakra, her throat chakra, the suture lines in her skull, then all the way down her back with open hands on each side of her spine.

When I was finished, I asked if she got anything from the session. She answered with a resounding, “YES!” When I asked if she’d like to share what she learned, she stated that she realized that Rose (not the baby’s real name) came into this world to strengthen the relationship between her (the grandmother) and her daughter. She explained that Rose had definitely accomplished that, and that if Rose had stayed in her body any longer, she would not have been a happy baby, nor would she be a happy person because Rose’s mission on Earth was complete.

Grandma walked out of the office with her head held high, and a deep sense of gratitude for having known that baby.

Suicidal to Laughing in 30-minutes

A young woman not from around here was extremely distraught and, in fact, suicidal when she came to see me at 10 o’clock one night. This was to be my first “crisis intervention” QT session. When I asked, “What’s going on?”, she immediately began to cry uncontrollably. The parent in me automatically embraced her with a therapeutic hug, while running energy through my entire body into hers. Not wanting her to think I was being inappropriate, I assured her that I was running energy into her. She said she could feel it.

She calmed down after a couple minutes and was able to tell me that her husband passed away less than a year ago, and the memory of the love lost had become so overwhelming that she wanted to be with her deceased husband.

I instinctively sandwiched her heart chakra, and amp’d her up using the emotional techniques taught in the Supercharging Workshop. After about 15 minutes, I remembered the QT “Where does it hurt” technique. I asked her where the emotions felt the strongest (“abdomen, specifically the ovaries and uterus”), how she would describe those emotions (“down”), and what the opposite of that would be (“full”). I moved my hands to that area and offered “fullness” for another 15 minutes.

It was during that time that she started laughing. I asked what she was laughing about. She said, “You might think I’m schizophrenic.” I assured her that I wouldn’t think that at all. She then said that her husband appeared before her and told her he would wait for her, and that he promised to be patient. That was significant, she said, because her husband was NOT known for his patience.

Within 30 minutes after I began working with her, she had gone from crying uncontrollably to laughing. My 11 years as a paramedic taught me how to remain detached from other people’s emotions, but not insensitive. As I maintained a high field of resonance through Quantum-Touch, her body naturally entrained to that higher frequency. She ascended to a noticeably more balanced emotional state, where her dead husband himself could communicate with her, and give her the courage to remain on this planet. Before she left, she actually said, “I love Quantum-Touch!”

When the door closed behind her, I closed my eyes and thanked God for blessing me with such a gift.

Jaw Aligns Itself 

While working on her upper back, a dear friend of mine (an animal communicator and psychic), started clanging her teeth together. Just as I was about to ask why, she asked, “Are you wondering why I’m banging my teeth together?” When I said, “Yes,” she explained that before I got to her house, she noticed that her bite was out of alignment. She planned to call her dentist after my visit because she (the dentist) always puts it back into alignment. But, within 20 minutes of her QT session, her jaw had aligned itself! Although I never touched her jaw, Quantum-Touch allowed her body’s innate intelligence to self-correct her misalignment.

30-year Back Pain Eliminated Within 5 Minutes

During my first QT lecture/demo in the New Leaf Market deli, I asked for a volunteer who thought their hips might be out of alignment. When a gentleman came up, I measured his pelvis and showed everyone that his left hip was noticeably (at least 2 inches) higher than the right. As he stood there, I gently placed one hand on each hip and began the Quantum-Touch breathing and body awareness. Within the first couple breaths, the man said he felt a lot of heat and tingling going down his left leg all the way to his toes. I explained that those sensations were his body reacting to the energetic changes.

I continued offering QT to his pelvis when, after only a couple more breaths and from out of nowhere, I heard a very loud “POP!” from somewhere along his spine. He calmly turned his head and said, “Something just popped in my back.” I calmly responded, “I heard it. In fact, I think people may have heard it out in the parking lot!” I checked his pelvis again, then showed everyone that both my hands were now completely level.

The lecture continued for another 45 minutes, then everyone left except the man and his wife. He came up to me and said, “I’m an offshore fisherman and I’ve had chronic back pain since the ’70’s. I’ve noticed that I haven’t had any back pain the whole time we’ve been sitting here.” I told him that was wonderful news, then added, “…but I wish you would’ve said something before everyone left!” Balancing someone’s pelvis within a couple minutes is one thing, but relieving someone’s 30-year back pain within a couple minutes is remarkable!

I went to New Leaf Market a couple weeks later and saw the man and his wife eating lunch in the deli. He waived me over to their table and said, “My back STILL hasn’t hurt since you worked on me.” He admitted that he was skeptical before he volunteered, but not “closed.” Now he knows the possibilities of Quantum-Touch.

Horse Becomes More Frisky After Session

I’d never worked on a horse before, so I looked forward to doing a session on a horse who had been tripping while walking. His owner taught me how to approach a horse to establish a rapport, and let it know that I pose no threat. After his owner got “Blue” from the pasture, the 3 of us stood under a large shade tree while she held his halter. I began working on Blue’s upper back between his shoulders because I was not yet comfortable going straight for his affected front leg. I moved down to his shoulder after a couple minutes. The owner said, “Rick, look how relaxed he is. I’ve had him for 4 years and I’ve never seen him this relaxed.”

I leaned over to see that she had her thumb hooked in his lower lip. The weight of her relaxed arm was pulling it down. She explained, “I couldn’t do this if he wasn’t relaxed.” I continued working down his affected leg, then continued working along his spine.

When I got to the middle of his back, Blue took a couple steps forward. My hands, however, remained stationary, so that they were now closer to his pelvis. His owner went, “Tch, tch” and tried to get him to hold still. I suggested that maybe he was moving forward simply because he wanted my hands closer to his pelvis, much like many people who ask me to move my hands closer to the exact location of their pain. The owner then remembered that, actually, he had a history of some pain exactly where my hands were. Blue KNEW where he needed relief, so he took a couple steps forward to position that area directly under my hands. It was so cool!

After the session, she returned him to the pasture. As soon as she removed his halter, Blue trotted back to where he was before the session, with no sign of any limp. She exclaimed, “He’s NEVER done that before! He ALWAYS waits until I close the gate before he WALKS away.” Blue was obviously feeling better.

Another Skeptic Heals Her Arthritic Neck

Two psychologists, one from Orlando and one from Tampa, asked me to offer massage and/or energy work to 8 of their female patients at one of their retreats. They invited me because, they said, they needed “a non-threatening male” on their staff. I was explaining Quantum-Touch to them at a staff meeting on the beach the night before the patients were to arrive when one of the doctors, obviously unimpressed with my stories, rolled her eyes, looked away, and asked, “Does this stuff work on arthritic necks?” I said, “Let’s find out.”

I placed my hands on each side of her neck and began to run the energy. After only 2 or 3 focused breaths, she said, “Oh, great! Now I have a headache, and I NEVER get headaches.” Remembering the QT “chase the pain” technique, I sandwiched her head, front to back, and continued to run the energy. Again, within 2 or 3 breaths, she said, “Okay, now my headache’s gone…(pauses as she turns her head side to side), my neck doesn’t hurt…(pauses as she rolls both shoulders), and my shoulders are really loose. I can’t BELIEVE how relaxed my shoulders are!”

She told me the following evening, “Rick, look at this…(she turns her head side to side), I can still turn my head without any pain, and I haven’t needed to take an Advil all day!” The next evening, two days after her 3-minute session, she told me, “Rick, I still haven’t had any pain since you worked on me, and I haven’t needed to take an Advil. I was skeptical when you first told me about this. I’d like for you to come to Orlando and teach a workshop.”

So, based on the relief of her arthritic neck pain, she went from being skeptical to buying a manual and inviting me to Orlando to teach a workshop!

My First “Distant” Healing 

It was Sunday evening, the last day of the retreat in the above story. “Jan”, one of the staff members, showed me her very swollen and painful knee, and asked if I could work on it. She said it had gotten progressively worse each day of the retreat, and was unable to walk on it without limping. I explained that I had 3 patients who signed up for massage and Quantum-Touch, but I’d be happy to work on her if she was still there when I finished. I added that, if she had to leave before I finished, I’d do a distant healing session on her knee before I went to bed. Jan had gone back to Tampa before I finished.

I went to bed around midnight, VERY tired, drained, and exhausted from a very long and busy day. I was all cozy in bed, curled up on my side, covers pulled up to my neck, closed my eyes, and was totally ready to fall asleep when I remembered my promise to Jan.

I FORCED myself to sit up, leaned my back against the wall, got comfortable, pictured Jan’s swollen knee between my hands (energy follows thought), and began running the energy.

Within a couple minutes, I couldn’t believe the intense heat flowing between my hands (about 8 inches apart). Knowing that this was my first attempt/experiment with distant healing, I thought, “Well, SOMETHING’S happening! I sure hope this energy is going to Jan’s knee.” I continued for a full 30-minutes before I laid back down. I was noticeably more energized, yet somehow more relaxed after that session.

I did not have Jan’s contact information to see how she was doing the next morning, so when she called me for something else a week later, I asked how her knee felt the Monday morning after the retreat. She said the swelling was completely gone, it didn’t hurt at all, and that she was able to walk her dog without limping all week long.

Jan was home in Tampa while I was in a beach house on Treasure Island, just south of St. Petersburg. That’s when I KNEW that the Quantum-Touch distant healing technique works.

Quantum Touch solved my lower back problems (a testimonial)

“For 30 years I had suffered from low back trouble. I couldn’t sit in most chairs, sofas or car seats. I couldn’t allow myself to get into certain positions or do certain activities. My back was too easily injured. It was often in pain, and it was often disabling. I needed frequent chiropractic adjustments, which always helped, but the relief was always temporary.
“After 3 sessions of Quantum Touch from Rick, my lower back was finally healthy! I can sit in any chair, sofa, seat, in any position, and do any of the activities that used to aggravate it. I have had no lower back trouble for 2 full years.”

DISCLAIMER

Now, does everyone receive a healing? Of course not. Even Richard Gordon, author of “Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal” and “Quantum-Touch 2.0 – The New Human: Discovering and Becoming”, admits that even after more than 40 YEARS of doing QT, he still has people who don’t notice any difference after a session, and he doesn’t know why. He explains: “Since the true healer is the person receiving the energy, the practitioner is merely acting as the catalyst to allow the healer to heal him- or herself, and to access and utilize a higher vibrational field of energy.”

So, I humbly admit that just as I cannot take credit for healing someone, I cannot accept the blame for them NOT healing.
