This action is in the form of an acute condition [...] if you were living in this house with no way to dispose of trash you might decide to put all of it in a room separate from everything else. This will make for much more pleasant living.

As the body has the ability to heal itself, quantum-touch helps to activate this process. This is accomplished by combining breathing and body awareness techniques in order to create a higher vibrational &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;energy &lt;/span&gt;for the practitioner, which then focuses and intensifies the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;life-force energy&lt;/span&gt; to the part of the body being treated. This naturally allows the client to match the vibration of the practitioner (through the process of resonance) and by doing so allows the body to heal itself in whatever way necessary";&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;(click here,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.drlynn.ca/services/quantum.htm"&gt;http://www.drlynn.ca/services/quantum.htm&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;(archived here,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20080608192723/http://www.drlynn.ca/services/quantum.htm"&gt;http://web.archive.org/web/20080608192723/http://www.drlynn.ca/services/quantum.htm&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;[&lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;vsc&lt;/b&gt; 2011-10-07]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;(for the archive.org history of this page, click here,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.drlynn.ca/services/quantum.htm"&gt;http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.drlynn.ca/services/quantum.htm&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div face="arial" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;iii.&lt;/div&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;[in "Naturopathic News"(&lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;2006&lt;/b&gt;-Summer)]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;"reiki is a Japanese energy based modality which uses light tough on the body.
