I'm am very new to SFQ. In fact, I just started last weekend. After learning "sword fingers," I attempted to do a healing on my very sweet little cat who has a fast growing tumor in her oral cavity. She seemed to feel a bit better the next day and I am continuing to do more work with her and she seems perkier the day after I do. My problem is that I do not feel energy coming out of my fingers when open my hand. I feel tingling sometimes, but that is it. I usually feel more tingling when I do the active exercises than I do with "sword fingers." I used this technique on myself yesterday when a strange rash appeared on one of my arms and it disappeared even though I felt no energy coming out of my hand. Any thoughts as to what, if anything, I am doing wrong.

I can't tell you how wonderful it is having all of you here!
