5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing and easy to do., December 1, 2004

By	L. Power "nlp trainer" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

I have bought many different energy based books, and used different energy based therapies and exercises with great results.

This book caught my attention because very positive statements were made about it comparing it favorably with reiki and qigong etc.

It is well written, concise and very easy to follow. The exercises are easy to do. If you were to do the visualization, and various simple breathing patterns, you could start moving energy within minutes, and as you practice more and more then your skills will improve dramatically.

With the QT exercises I can feel strong sensations throughout my body particularly in my hands and feet, and I am not an expert in this field.

QT enables you to generate healing energy through your hands to work on yourself and others.

There is a scientific principle called entrainment. If two items are vibrating side by side at different speeds then the item that vibrates at the lower speed will adjust to vibrate at the same frequency as the other object.

Examples of this are swings in a playground that are swinging out of sync and adjust. Also, in a clock store you may notice the pendulum clocks of the same size swinging back and forth in unison.

This principle applied to QT is that when you apply the higher healing vibration to an area of pain or disease (low vibration) it causes that area to reattune itself to the higher vibration, and thereby cure it.


This method I find easier than Qigong for example. I am delighted with the results I am getting. This is the best book of this type I have read so far.

I also highly recommend EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) which is a simple acupressure technique which can be done in less than two minutes. Can you imagine easily letting go of emotional issues such as anger, anxiety, fear, forgiveness, sadness, stress, phobias, procrastination, trauma etc. You can research this further and download a free manual at emofree.com, and buy various EFT books at Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book, March 13, 2000

By	Grace Katie Bell (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal (Paperback)

As a nurse-healer, I am always studying the dynamic and often mysterious process of energy-based healing. When I read Quantum-Touch, I knew I had discovered an important key to the process of accessing and directing the subtle energy which we healers use. I quickly put the information into action and feel as if the quality of my healing work has taken a quantum leap. The book is a true joy to read, never complicated, down to earth. I loved this book and after reading it cover to cover, I went out and bought 4 copies to give to my closest friends. I am now rereading it. Richard Gordon is a deeply developed healer with the ability to communicate the process of energy (life-force) science in a beautiful style. I recommend this book to anyone who has interest in developing the art and science of hands on healing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book for Any Reiki Healer., September 15, 2004

By	Michael J. Homan (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Quantum Touch is a must have for any serious energy healer. Being a Reiki Master of Usui I recommend this book to anyone that takes their healing art seriously.

For any one who is unfamilar with the life force (prana, chi, etc.) breathing exercises (called Pranayama in India) that increase the prana or life force in ones body during a healing session increases the level of the healing in those being healed... if that makes sense. My point is, the strength and level of the healers energy level is very important to a fast and effective healing. Most reiki healers believe that all you need to do is open the channel to start the flow, I believe the channel needs to be healthy, unblocked, and super charged with life force enrgy.

This book is very thorough and covers many areas of healing like distance, animals, emotional healing, group healing, etc.

This book is very similar to any other energy healing method but adds to a reiki masters knowledge base. I believe even though many people call their techniques by different names, it is all using the same energy. So do not get confused by names of light, energy healing, pranic healing, or reiki.
