Hi monkbiker,
I have some experience with Reiki and other intuitive energy work and just starting SFQG. I wanted to comment on your posts. First of all, my limited understanding of SFQG is that it doesn't follow the chakra system persay, although there are some overlapping energy points. The energy through my hands that I feel when doing Reiki is somewhat similar to SFQG. I would suggest that if you feel you have been led here synchronistically, you may want to get the information and try it.
I find that a grounding exercise that works for me include simply visualizing that my root chakra extends deep into the earth, like the roots of a tree, through my legs and feet. Also, the symbol of the pyramid is a powerful one for me, and visualizing myself within a pyramid, strong and solid on the ground, with my center core energy connected to the earth and up through the point is helpful to ground me.
In terms of healing healing others, I strongly feel that it is important to have that person's permission on some level to assist them. Perhaps the reason she came into your life was to open you to the possibility that you are a healer, and to use your abilities accordingly, not necessarily that you were meant to help her heal. Does this make sense?
Let me ask you this - how and where do you see yourself using your gifts as an intuitive energy worker?
Blessings to you.
