What is Quantum Touch?

Quantum-Touch is a powerful, yet easy to learn, energy healing modality.

Everyone has the innate ability to help ourselves and others. The Quantum-Touch techniques teach us how to focus and amplify life-force energy (known as “chi” in Chinese and “prana” in Sanskrit) by combining various breathing and body awareness exercises. When you learn to direct the life-force energy, the possibilities are truly extraordinary; our love has more impact than we can imagine.

Quantum Touch at the Sentient Temple

"I am often asked how old does a child have to be to understand or use Quantum Touch? I must respond, each child is an individual, as with adults, each has their own level of understanding. One of our Masters here at the Sentient Temple brought her daughter, Arianna, seven years old, for a healing session, the mother, Deanna, explained excitedly that Arianna could see aura's and colors. I cupped my hands and ran heart chakra energy to my hands and asked her what color she saw, she responded, green, I moved my concentration to the throat, and she said, now its blue, I dropped to the base chakra, and she saw red. I thought, "This is a gifted child." and asked her if she wished to participate in a healing session. She did and our next client was a mother and her two year old daughter. I guided Arianna through the session, explaining how to breathe, and channel energy. Below is the photo of her working. Her attention, and intent are evident. How old need a child be? It is always an individual call. Children everywhere can do QT, and one day will."   Dr. Dennis Alexander

The Quantum-Touch Story

Richard Gordon, founder of Quantum-Touch, best selling author and impassioned promoter of Life-Force Science Richard is dedicated to showing us all – believers and skeptics alike - not only how powerful energy healing can be, but how easy it is to learn, regardless of your age, culture, religion or belief system.

Perhaps one of the most important lessons he teaches us is that everyone has the innate ability to help ourselves and others. It is not the “practitioner” who is the healer, but the person receiving the energy. Only we can heal ourselves, just as only we can digest our own food.

Did That Really Happen?

To make a very long story very short, about 30 years ago I was concerned about my numerous symptoms of ill health, and my doctor told me to wait till something serious developed. I thought this advice made about as much sense as waiting for the engine to blow up before dealing with a grinding noise from under the hood.

I went to the Christos School of Natural Healing in Taos, New Mexico in the early '70s. We studied therapeutic massage, spiritual healing and herbal medicine. At that time I was introduced to Polarity Therapy. I eventually wrote a book, “ Your Healing Hands: A Polarity Experience,” that's been a best seller and has been translated into nine languages.

Right around the time it was going into print, about 1978, I met a man named Robert Rasmussen. Bob Rasmussen had an extraordinary ability to do hands-on healing work. He worked with a woman who had a severe case of scoliosis, and I couldn't believe my eyes as I watched him touch her back. The bones spontaneously started to move. Her hips realigned themselves, the occipital ridge realigned, and within about 20 minutes, the scoliosis was about two-thirds straightened out.

I immediately reached a few conclusions: he had some extraordinary ability; I would never be able to do it; and no one else in the world would ever be able to do it. I then discovered that with great focus and concentration, I could. I apprenticed with him and was eventually asked to take over upon his retirement. That's how this work was born.

How Does Quantum-Touch Energy Healing Work?

In principal the Quantum-Touch practitioner learns to focus and amplify life-force energy ("Chi" or "Prana") by combining various breathing and body awareness exercises.

When the practitioner holds a high vibrational field of life-force energy around an affected area, she or he facilitates healing through the process of resonance and entrainment.
Everything vibrates. When two things vibrate at different frequencies, there is a tendency for the vibrations to come together. Most often, the slower vibration will rise to match the faster frequency. There are many kinds of examples of entrainment: over time, similarly tuned electric oscillators will match frequencies; disembodied animal hearts when placed near each other and kept alive in a lab will all beat in unison; and when women share a dormitory, over months they will often start menstruating at the same time.

Quantum-Touch uses resonance and entrainment to facilitate healing. The practitioner learns to raise his or her vibration and create a high level of energy. If that energy field is placed around an area of pain, stress, inflammation, or disease, that part of the body will entrain to the higher frequency and allow one’ s own biological intelligence to do whatever healing it deems necessary.

Quantum-Touch actually provides healing energy for the practitioner as well as for the person seeking healing. Using Quantum-Touch breathing and body awareness exercises, the practitioner can hold an extraordinarily high vibration, influencing the person in need of healing to match the vibration of the practitioner. The practitioner will not become drained from doing the work. Most often, the practitioner feels emotionally uplifted as a result!

I show people that they can actually dramatically change the taste of wine by directing energy into it; we're definitely affecting the very physics and chemistry of matter. I see that in the future, when research has been done, life force energy will be appreciated as being real ... and powerfully impacting physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and psychology. Our world will forever be different as people realize that their love has impact and their love has value.

Healing is a fascinating process which is generally very poorly understood. While many people think they can heal other people, it is of utmost importance to realize that all healing is self-healing. Ultimately, cells heal themselves. Cells desire to be well, and given the right energetic, emotional and nutritional environments, they will do just that. The body has an extraordinary intelligence and ability to heal itself. My favorite definition of a healer is someone who was sick and got well; a great healer is someone who was very sick and got well quickly.

Over the past eight years, I have taught QT to well over 4000 people. Without exception, professional practitioners of the various modalities have told me that this work can be seamlessly combined with what they know, and in most cases it has transformed their practice. This list includes chiropractors, osteopaths, physical therapists, acupuncturists, cranial sacral therapists, chi gung instructors, and reiki masters, to name but a few. Lay people discover an elegant and profound hands-on healing method that they can effectively use.

Which Rose Received Quantum-Touch?

Here at The Sentient Temple, Terri received a dozen roses on Monday as a gift. On Wednesday, a day that we have a full day of treatment sessions, Terri brought my wife, Fern, one of the roses as a gift. Fern ran energy into a vase full of water, then placed the rose into the water and gave it one more boost. The following Sunday, when we held our regular services at four in the afternoon, Terri brought the remaining roses to place on our altar. Fern added her rose to the other roses. Fern's rose already stood out. By the end of the service, which was held outside under the sun, only Fern's rose remained upright. The other eleven were noticeably drooping.

Why the name “Quantum-Touch?”

The work is called Quantum-Touch because of the awareness that we're actually dealing with the quantum, subatomic level of life. When Deepak Chopra wrote, " In order for consciousness to affect matter, it must affect it at a quantum or subatomic level."

We believe that what we're doing is affecting matter on that quantum, subatomic level and it works its way up through the atoms, the molecules, the cells, the tissue ... and then we see bones move. But because we have a very gross, dense awareness, we're not aware of all the millions of changes taking place within the cells or the mitochondria or even the cell changes in the tissue.

We see the bone move and we go, " Uh ... the bone moved." But we're actually affecting all the levels of your body healing itself. The bones will spontaneously glide into adjustment. But they're the very last thing that's changed. Everything else has been affected before that. The principle at work is really very simple. By doing the breathing and body awareness exercises, the practitioner lifts his or her vibration to a very high pitch. Then by holding their hand over the affected area, the body responds by doing its own healing. But you don't really heal other people. All you do is hold the space, hold the resonance for them to heal themselves.

Has Quantum-Touch been formally tested?

In my efforts to validate hands-on healing, I met with Dr. Elmer Green, considered by many to be the father of biofeedback. Dr. Green had been aware of my work for the last 20 years through my first book, and was enthusiastic when I let him know about my new work I had named Quantum-Touch.

Thanks to his suggestion, within two weeks I was on a flight to Springfield, Missouri to see Dr. Norman Shealy. Dr. Shealy was trained as a neurosurgeon, is the author of numerous books, is the founding President of the American Holistic Medical Association and was the doctor who tested, introduced and taught classes with Dr. Carolyn Myss. Being quite the skeptic, it seems appropriate that he lives in Missouri.

When I arrived, Dr. Shealy asked me to work on members of his staff. One woman had shoulder pain, another back pain, and a third had neck pain. These were all relieved in less than ten minutes each. Dr. Shealy then decided it was time to put this technique to a bigger test. After I explained to him that each person has the ability to hold a resonance that can allow bones to spontaneously glide back into alignment with only a light touch, he led me to a room where a 88 year old woman was in a great deal of pain suffering from osteoporosis. One of her hips was massively higher than the other, and she could barely walk. There were three physicians in the room, and they were taking her history for about thirty minutes.

When it was time to demonstrate what I do, I asked the elderly woman to stand up and I gently placed my hands on her hips with absolutely no pressure, and started to run the energy. Running energy involves the use of specific breathing and body awareness exercises to raise one’ s vibration. This energy has been described by numerous cultures for thousands of years – it is most commonly called prana, chi or ki. In about 10 minutes the woman’ s hips had completely evened out and she could now walk without pain.

I explained that when the body receives a high vibration, it responds in whatever way it chooses in order to accelerate the healing process. Quantum biologist, Glen Rein, Ph.D. from NY has found that healers were capable of affecting the very winding of DNA. In order to accomplish this, healing must first begin on a quantum or subatomic level and work its way though the rest of the body.

Dr. Shealy had a history of testing what he termed “ world class healers” like Olga Worall, and he found that some of them could actually affect brain wave patterns at a distance. So while I was in his clinic, he wanted to see if I could do it too. He was somewhat delighted that I was able to profoundly affect brain waves patterns, but what really amazed him was that all of his staff members, who I had trained, were also able to affect EEG readings. “ Isn’ t it great,” I told him “ that your secretary, your accountant and one of your nurses all happen to be ‘ world class healers’ .” You see, we are all truly connected, and it’ s not just some sort of new age pep talk.

Quantum-Touch is unique in how quickly and how powerfully lay people as well as professionals learn to do healing work. When Dr. Shealy tested Quantum-Touch, he wanted to see how it worked on his most difficult chronic pain patients with 20 and 30 years of constant chronic pain. These were people who had not been helped by any traditional or non-traditional therapy. I taught his staff to use Quantum-Touch and we gave these patients group-healing sessions. A week after I returned home, Dr. Shealy called me to tell me that the 30-70% pain relief his patients experienced from a single session had lasted over a week. This impressed him, and those who know Dr. Shealy say that he is not easily impressed. Dr. Norman Shealy wrote the foreword of my book, and now includes Quantum-Touch as part of a course for graduate students at Greenwich University.

Energy really does follow thought. Our love has more impact than anyone knows, and when you learn to direct the life-force energy, the possibilities are truly extraordinary.

DNA, molecules, cells, tissue, organs and even the position of bones all respond to the powerful vibration of our love as expressed through the life-force energy that comes through our hands. Hands-on healing is real, natural, and an easily learned, basic human skill that clearly shows us that our love is far more wondrous and powerful than any of us know.
