Touching the Quantum Body

As a writer of fantasy (1) with a lifelong interest in the far reaches of probability, I’ve been elated to discover that extraordinary abilities we used to believe existed only in our imaginations are proving to be entirely possible in the real world.

In previous posts, we’ve touched on some of the problems with the dominant health care system and the questionable science behind it. Conventional medicine has no explanation for the physical changes wrought by both ancient and modern energy medicine, yet the results of these techniques are undeniable and often astounding – and none violates a single law of modern physics (see http://www.goodreads.com/author_blog_...).

Now let’s take a look at some of the new modalities that are beginning to change the way we understand the body, healing, and our own abilities as human beings.

The Foundation

Last year I was given the gift of a beginners’ Quantum-Touch (2) class. Even before the classes were finished, a friend came to me in acute pain from a hernia. By the end of one forty-minute session, his pain was gone and the hernia had shrunk enough that he could clearly feel the difference. We were both in awe.

In 1978, Richard Gordon attended a workshop with a man named Bob Rasmusson. Using powerful breathing and a light touch, Rasmusson realigned a woman’s occipital bone and corrected her lopsided posture in a matter of fifteen minutes.

Astonished and awed, Gordon assumed that he was witnessing an extremely rare and gifted healer. He certainly couldn’t imagine that he could ever learn a technique with results so far outside what was “possible.” But by the end of that first workshop, he was able to cause small bones to shift in another person, and the spark was lit for the bright blaze that was to become Quantum-Touch.

By several years later, Gordon had developed the set of skills and refinements of Rasmusson’s method that were to become Quantum-Touch.(3)

The Method

Quantum-Touch might as easily be called Quantum Breath. Breath is at the core of the method, along with practice in sensing the subtle energies of the body. (But these energies aren’t subtle at all, once you begin to notice them!) When students have learned to feel the energies moving in their bodies and to breathe powerfully and rhythmically, they are taught to channel the sensations into their hands and into the body of another person. The process is called “running the energy.”

How Does It Work?

According to Gordon, the Quantum-Touch method raises the “vibration”(4) of the practitioner to an extremely high level. The patient’s own energy is then entrained with that of the practitioner. At this level of energy, the patient’s body is able to heal naturally, within a few minutes or a number of sessions.

Gordon is adamant about one point: No Quantum-Touch practitioner is a healer. The only person who ever does a healing is the one who is damaged or sick. The practitioner provides optimal conditions for the patient’s own body to do what comes naturally.

“A healer is a person who is sick and gets well,” Gordon says. “A great healer is a person who is very sick and gets well very quickly.”

(4) Within the young field of energy medicine, no real consistency or precision of language exists at present. Practitioners use words like “frequency,” “vibration,” “entrainment,” and “resonance,” without always meaning something that is measurable with scientific instruments currently available. From one healing system to another, the use of specific words and meanings may differ. Until the qualities of human energy fields can be fully measured, the imprecision in language is likely to persist. But amazing results continue to happen, regardless of our currently-limited theories and language about how.
