A client surprised me recently when I gave him my standard
thumbnail description of Quantum-Touch.

He said, "That sounds similar to Stephen Levine's way of
healing with love." I was intrigued, and he offered to send
me a copy of the pages in "Healing Unto Life and Death"
where Levine describes how he and his wife heal with love.
 
Levine has healed burns and all sorts of things with this
simple approach. He simply focuses steadily on the area of
pain or distress with a sense of softness, allowing and
love.
 
I suggested this to a client of mine with cancer, since he
tended not to do "homework," and I wanted to give him
something as simple as possible. I could see he was a
little bit taken aback. "Focus on the cancer? But shouldn't
I be focusing on what I DO want to attract into my life,
not what I DON'T want in my life?"
 
A most reasonable question! After all, aren't we all trying
to cultivate the "attractor factor"?
 
---------------------------------------
Don't we attract what we focus on?
---------------------------------------
 
As Zen teachers delight in demonstrating, fresh meaning can
be squeezed out of the driest old chestnut by looking at it
from a slightly different point of view. I'd like to look
at this question from a beautiful point of view declared by
the late spiritual teacher Nisargadatta Maharaj: Love alone
is. All else appears. (From his book, "I Am That.")
 
It really doesn't matter whether the surface object or
event we're focusing on is money or mudpies or cancer. When
it comes down to it, there are actually only two things we
can choose to focus on: Love or Fear.
 
---------------------------------------
Let's talk about mudpies
---------------------------------------
 
When you focus on your mudpie, are you feeling a sense of
openheartedness and expansion? Actually, what I literally
remember making with my twin brother in our backyard was a
small mudcave about 6" or 7" in diameter in my backyard
when I was a very small child. I remember feeling the
smoothness
of the inside and the outside of my little mudcave with my
fingers. I remember the feeling of delight in my heart. My
whole being was focused in a flow of love as I contemplated
my little mudcave!
 
Or, as we focus on our dear little mudpie, are we thinking
we could NEVER make a mudpie like THIS again! Are we
thinking, what if THEY copy our mudpie? Or are we focused
on how fragile it is, and that it might accidentally get
crushed sooo easily? Or what if a spider is attracted to
our mudpie - how scary THAT would be! Fear is our focus
here, and we're constricting the flow of lifeforce
throughout our entire being.
 
---------------------------------------
ENERGY FOLLOWS AWARENESS
---------------------------------------
 
Upon connecting with a place of stuck energy within
herself, the healer (Q-T definition here!) wishes to open
it up to the flow of the Universal Energy - the Love - of
which each of us is made. When you focus your openhearted
awareness on any aspect of your life, that openhearted
awareness IS the flow of love and energy in your life. When
there's a place in your life where energy in not moving
properly, keeping your awareness averted from it keeps that
energy stuck.
 
As you find the flow within that stuck place upon which you
softly and openheartedly place your attention, you begin to
feel the truth of what you're focusing on: Mudpies appear.
Love IS.
 
Happy Valentine's Day!
