Hi Joel,
"I have to do the healings on the run. No one has time including me."
It would help you, a great deal to change this perception. A healing can be a very pleasant experience, both for you, and who you are working on. If I am going to be working on someone, I take some time before they come to meditate, or do a session of level II exercises. During this time, I often see in my minds eye, what I will be doing when my friend comes. I also get the benefit of the time exercising/meditation, and I have removed myself from the "rat race" you speak of. If I was seeing a number of people, this one time preparing is enough. My energy is warm, relaxed, and open when they encounter me. I am aware of my space, and purify that space. This can be done by visualizing, sage, whatever...Put it around the doorways they will walk through, coming into your space. They come into this space, and start to become removed from where they were. Have the lights turned down, light a candle,,,whatever. Make it a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Qigong music...It is very important to relax them. Take them through all the parts of their body and have inhale into them, and exhale and relax each part. You can do this without them using breath too, just going from part to part, letting go and relaxing. Ending up at the soles of their feet. Their feet will be humming at this point, and they will be out of their heads, removed from the fast pace of things, and open. Some headaches are already gone at this point, as the person just needed to relax! Have them envision a beautiful place they like being, with the sun shining on them. Then enjoy your time doing the healing. Your relaxation and openess will allow you to feel more. You don't have to clear over and over. Try to see if you can see in your minds eye, that the blockage is removed, the smoke is gone... or feel if the blockage removed as you work with your hands. Move on. If you can't feel , just cover all the bases. You can take the time to do this. Don't accept the fast pace as the way it has to be. Schedule the time seeing your friends when you can take alittle time. Give yourself the time to practice. It's there, you just have to take it. Your friends will like the healing session, just from the standpoint of being around your energy, and the experience of being really relaxed. The actual healing is frosting on the cake.
If your time is tight, focus on the material at hand, don't look elsewhere. Level I and II contain alot of information. Make sure you assimulate that, explore it, take time with it. How long do you spend? Take the time your spending looking for something else and increase your time in the exercises. You might find what you are looking for there.
