A Mystery

We often think of Quantum-Touch as something to be used for healing purposes, and rightly so, but it also can manifest in unexpected ways, and create unusual experiences and experiments.

After taking my first Quantum-Touch Level 1 class, I encountered a mystery. I had driven to Virginia from Philadelphia to attend a class with Miriam Hunter. I was staying at a hotel nearby, and after a very energizing and fulfilling day, I decided to unwind in a way that was usual for me at the time, back in 2017. I made my way to the hotel bar and ordered a glass of red wine. Before discovering the path of energy healing, I had spent quite a few years waitressing and bartending, so I knew my wine well.

The bartender filled up a long-stemmed glass and placed it in front of me. I took my first sip. Yuck! I grimaced. "Something must be wrong with the wine," I said to him. "It tastes sour."

A look of concern came over his face and he removed the tainted wine and placed a new goblet before me. He left the room momentarily and returned with a new bottle of wine that he proceeded to open. I watched the red velvet stream hit my glass, and once it settled, excitedly took a fresh sip. Again, weird taste, but this time I partially swallowed my discomfort. I nodded to the bartender who was hovering nearby in anticipation. "It still tastes a little weird," I said, "But it must be me."

He agreed.

I began to ponder this logically in my head as I drank the metallic-tasting wine. New bottle, good brand of wine, maybe something was wrong with my taste buds because it was unlikely that multiple bottles of wine at the bar were bad! I ate my dinner, went to bed, and the following day returned to the second day of class.

A New Superpower

We continued to learn how to sync special patterns of breath with body awareness and then practice sessions began! This was truly my favorite part of class. It was electric! Miriam had massage tables set up and we all took turns playing client and practitioner. One of the most exciting parts of being a practitioner is I didn't get drained!

Miriam explained beforehand that when done correctly, the practitioner would actually feel even more energized after the session. As we like to say in Quantum-Touch, "Give a healing, get a healing." Doing the Quantum-Touch breath is very active and your literally channeling Life Force Energy (LFE) through your body. Rather than give energy from your own pool, you get to tap into the unlimited LFE that exists everywhere, like fish in the sea.

Not getting drained was so huge for me! As someone highly sensitive and empathic, feeling other people's feelings was just another Tuesday and I'd often take on their baggage without even realizing it. But doing the Quantum-Touch technique that day gave me a superpower I didn't even realize was possible. By staying within me and feeling the flow, I felt elevated, as did the person receiving the session – and afterwards I walked away lighter than before – no excess baggage, yay!

Later, after taking the course, I delved deeper into Richard Gordon's book, Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal and came across the section on wine (2006 edition, page 208).

Here is an Excerpt:

Charging Wine

Charging wine can be a lot of fun. I have found that it is easier to demonstrate charging white wine than red wine. For a long time, people were telling me that the aftertaste was markedly reduced when the wine was charged, and most people I talked to liked the difference.

Out of curiosity one day, I went to a winery and asked the woman who was pouring wine if she would help me understand what people are looking for when they taste wine. She poured different samples and had me notice the bouquet, the complexity, the aftertaste, and so on. I asked her if she would taste wine that I charged and tell me what she thought. At first, she refused because she was certain nothing would change. I finally begged her to please humor me and help me get over any delusions I had about altering the taste of wine.

She carefully tasted each of the samples twice, comparing the charged to the uncharged sample. She tasted each a second time to be sure of her findings and then posed a question to me. "Do you realize what you have done? Do you realize what you have done?"

"No, please tell me," I asked.

"You have destroyed the complexity of this wine, and you have nearly demolished the aftertaste as well."

"Is that good?" I asked sheepishly.

"NO! it is very, very bad!"

Just to be sure she really meant this, I teased her a bit, raising my arms up for effect and said, "If you would like, I could charge all the bottles around her at once."

She immediately became loud and adamant, while waving her arms and shouting, "No, don't do that!"

Mystery Solved

That explained my experience completely. While I hadn’t intentionally charged the wine, because I had been charging myself up by doing energy work all day, the wine had instantly changed its flavor on my tongue. I had to laugh.

Since that night I drank less and less frequently and once I started going full into energy healing in 2018, I stopped drinking altogether. A glass of wine just didn’t seem to do anything for me anymore, though I’d still have a slight hangover the next day or feel like I had to rebuild my energy level, so, it no longer felt worth it. Your experience may be totally different than mine and you don’t have to give up drinking to do energy work – that’s totally your call, but this is how it happened for me.

A related experience happened about five years later. I was I was on a date with someone and he had ordered a cocktail for himself. He enjoyed it, but when we were hanging out after, I could feel us on different vibration levels and it felt annoying to me – like there was an imbalance. So I simply felt the energy within me, without trying to change him at all, and a minute later he said to me half annoyed, half amused, and slightly curious, “My buzz is totally gone! It’s like I never had a drink.”

Oops!

So basically, if you want a buzz from a drink, don’t hang around me, but If you want to get “high off the real thing” – a Quantum-Touch workshop may just be the very thing you want to indulge in next.
