Hi Ozzie
I'm a fellow aussie from Perth and have been practicing SFQ for about 12 months. In my experience, pulling out blockages is not like the energy that I feel with swordfingers and palms. The blockages feel cold and clammy - reducing with intensity as the blockages clear. I'm sure someone with far greater experience will respond - there are an enormous amount of wise and knowledgeable people who contribute generously to this forum.
