Thanks again, Shakurav.
Here is why I ask. I gave some attention to the beginner healing techniques when I first rceived the SFQ package a year or two ago. Mostly I've been doing the first level active exercises and occassionally the meditations.
From time to time I've tried the basic healing on my cat. Until recently, I got as far as holding my right hand a few inches from him, and feeling his energy. I would get to a spot that would feel hot, then he would open his eyes, give me a dirty look, and walk away.
A little over a week ago, I was doing the active exercise, and felt a lot of activity/heat in the palm of my right hand, and very subtle activity in my left. I thought, this makes sense since right hand is yang and left hand is yin.
Afterwards I tried again to do some healing on my cat. Being right-handed, I automatically used my right hand. I reached distinct heat, and he opened an eye and glared at me. It occured to me that I was using yang hand, and to try yin instead. I started again, this time with my left hand. I reached the heat, and he stayed still. I did sword fingers and the other two moves, to the best of my memory. At first, he seemed unchanged.
I left him alone, and took out the trash. When I returned, he dashed through the door the moment I opened it. (this is ok, he's partly an outdoor cat.) I stayed outside with him for a few minutes, and he was the perkier than he had been in about four weeks.
His energy levels have stayed pretty good since then.
I'm very pleased with this little success, and it lead me to wondering which hand is best, and why. I guess it's back to the drawing board for me, and maybe time to watch the second dvd and learn more about healing.
