ive been very iterested on Qigong healing and have yet to find any
decent instructional help.

QiGong, as you may know, is Chinese for "energy work." It covers a wide area of martial arts, energy work (healing), and breathing techniques.

A good book is coming to mind, Hands of Light, by Barbara Brennan. It's a great beginner to intermediate book on energy work with sections on chakras, auras, and if I recall, meridians and acupuncture.

A beginner Reiki 1 class might be beneficial (may cost $50 or so in the US).

Try any metaphysical bookstore, even something like Barnes & Noble will have a decent selection of good beginner books. I only mean beginner as in the knowledge aspect, I suspect you're more intermediate without even trying

Sorry for all the questions, but I was wondering if you can "over-do" it. Like I really look forward to practicing this and get it real good, but is there only so much my body can handle this or is it safe to practice as much as one wants?

You can definitely over-tax yourself. Follow your instincts and feel the balance in yourself.

As you get more attuned or proficient in using energy work you will recognize that ALL of the universe is energy, so you are not giving anything of yourself, you are simply guiding energy through yourself, or allowing it to influence a person differently.

In the beginning it can be draining so take it easy. After years of training one can actually heal the universe with every in and out breath, as in some Tibetan Buddhist monk's rituals.

Also, ask yourself why you want to be good at this... healing has a hidden satisfaction and the knowledge and ability can cause a bit of ego if your mind is not in the right state. It might be good to find a local teacher of healing/Reiki/martial arts who can guide you and speed your skills as you progress.

Ahh.

This is the problem.

How to ease the concerns of people who are interested from a slightly skeptic point of view.

1: Buy the $757.58 dvd set - not a very selfless attitude.
2: Hear "I don't do it to anyone but people I know." - ditto.
3: Do it yourself.

Personally, I believe people can do this. I've known family members who've seen people 'wipe' away a black eye after sparring. I've been interested in it since I can remember.

I've NEVER been able to do it.

So ultimately, the continued secrecy around it - the way people either refuse to spread freely the evidence threads such as these actively claim is easy to achieve - even makes me cast a squinted eye.

So if I could do this, I would. But if I only believed I could do this, then the best way for me to continue to believe it would be to never publicly attempt it, because if it did not work as expected I personally would lose something from myself.

I think that's about how it works. If you buy the dvd set, then if it fails, you're obviously doing something wrong or have not put enough faith in yourself to achieve it.

Different story when someone who claims to be able to do it, fails.

Just an observation...

This is very interesting to me. Thank you, OP, for posting the steps. I've always wanted to try meditation, and I've dabbled with it a bit recently, but helping to heal others is definitely a good motivator to meditate more often.
I'm especially hoping it works on animals. I'm going to school now to be a veterinary technician, pretty much an animal nurse. If this can help make an animal's stay at a clinic a bit more bearable and less stressful, and possibly help with their ailments, I'll gladly try it.
I think I'll practice on myself the next time I get hurt or have a headache. I'll also try it on my own cat. She's had some tough times in the last few months with her BUN and creatinine levels spiking and having to keep her over the weekend at the vet, to having an upper respiratory infection and pneumonia a few days after she got home, and a month later getting a UTI. Maybe this can help with her kidneys, keeping them from being more damaged than they already are.
The way I see it, it can't hurt to at least try it.

To those who are skeptical of such possibilities, I suggest you actually try it yourself and see what happens. You might be surprised.

I was a skeptic. I took energy healing lessons. The teacher reassured me that it made no difference whether I believed in it or not, that it would work even if I was a complete non-believer. So I tried it, took the course, and saw it work. I've seen it work on others, but of course maybe they were just faking it, right? I've had it work for me, as well. Definitely convincing, when it's you that gets healed.

But don't believe what someone tells you. Check it out yourself. You don't need to spend money for special lessons. Put your hands on someone who is in need of healing. You don't have to make anything happen. You don't have to "will" it, or make a big wish, or command any evil spirit to leave. You don't have to focus. You could pray if you like, or just be quiet. Doesn't matter.

Will this cure cancer? Not usually, though I've actually seen someone's cancer go into unexpected remission (they were in hospice at the time, waiting to die). The healing won't always be the desired effect, either. And in some cases, there is no apparent healing. However, I have seen enough healing to say that there is something to it. In my own case, I was healed of a severe and fatal illness and the remission has lasted for over 30 years. It could start back up tomorrow, but really, getting another 30 years is miracle enough, don't you think?

Don't knock it, until you've tried it. If you try it and it doesn't seem to work, then go right ahead and knock it.

I fully believe that this is true. I have done a massage course as well as "Touch for Health/Kinesiology" and I know for a fact that it works. I DON"T have to prove it to anybody. If you believe that works it will work.
I am not a very religious person but I think I remember the following words in the bible "HEAL THYSELF"
What the human mind can concieve AND BELIEVE it can achieve!
It helps to do some hand excercises before treating someone and to heat your hands up by rubbing them together!
Always remember to cleanse yourself, especially your hands and arms after treating someone, you are drawing things, negative energy, into your own body by doing a healing and need to get rid of it after the treatment. Shaking yours arms is good but you will HAVE TO wash your hands and arms at least as high as the elbow. I usually flick the energy away from myself into a big rock that is on my patio, NEVER direct this flicking towards another person, I personally won't even flick it off towards a plant!
I have experienced that when treating someone I feel burning from my hands extending up into my arms and get the feeling that that is proof enough for me that SOMETHING is happening.
If it didn't work WHY WOULD MY CLIENTS return?

This is fantastic, and I thank you for posting it! For 12 years now I've had to depend on prescribed opiates for pain, as a result of breaking my back. It would be wonderful to be rid of this horrible dependancy. Those preachers I've seen on television, make me sick! Here they are with diamond rings on almost every finger, all bought and paid for those who are in desperate need of some sort of cure. A couple of these greedy phonies even claim they can heel a person by layings one's hand on the television screen. All I got from doing so was a goodly shock from the static electricity when I touched the screen. I can hardly believe I was actually stupid enough to even try it! But then again I'm sure many of you know what it's like trying to live with intense pain 24/7. I'm wondering just how many deaths those turkeys have caused by convincing people to throw away their medication prescribed for something like high blood pressure. I'm no fan of big pharma, but I'd rather take my chances with them, than those phonies on television. It isn't my intention to make fun fo anyone who is disabled, but show meshow me someone with one leg go up on stage and walk away on two, then perhaps I'll believe. I'm still shaking my head at my own gullability! lol!

I definitely believe in the concept of laying of hands because I have experienced it first hand as a giver of healing energy. I discovered the ability through the use of Salvia Divinorum. Something that scares the sh*t out of me every time I have used it. It is a scary herb but one that will teach you things, if you can set your fear aside. Which is very hard. But I do like the breath channeling described in this post as it is very easy for the gathered energy to disperse in an unfocused manner. It took a bit of work, but with practice I found I was able to finally focus said energies out of my hands. It does not matter whether anyone believe that this is possible. Had my father not had a stroke, I would never have fully embraced the practice.

How does this differ from 'Reconnective Healing'? The healing that Dr. Pearl does? Same thing with different name?

I have healed a cat that got bit by a brown recluse, the cat started to convulse, but whatever happened the cat made it without croaking. The cats back was spasming where it was bit at, it didn't die. Hands on healing works. I was pulling in as much energy as I could my hands were so hot, that it hurt my bones.

The area where it was bit was spasming, which was about an inch radius, that cat kept pulling in as much sunlight as it could handle, interesting idea I thought to myself, the cat was always in the window seal a lot more then normal when I noticed it was bit on its neck region. I put collodial silver cream on it, but that just kept going straight to the infection following the acid or poison down into it, so I stopped that and did a hands on healing this cat was in dire straights.



This was back eight years or so ago.
