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!
