I'm currently studying the PLC SFQ and I'm recognizing times in my life when I've subconciously used variations of techniques.

Massage is one of them. I've been told by many that I have healing hands and that I should take up massage. What I had been doing is sensing spots to be healed. They just felt different not just in the textile sense but in a sensation felt in my hands when near those areas.

While massaging certain areas I felt the urge to inhale and exhale deeply and somewhat forcefully. I've tried a few times without the breathing and found two things: The healing effect was not that great if not existent at all. When using the breathing I noticed an emotional change in the person afterwards, they were happier and calmer. Numero Dos (2) My hands and arms would tense and shake or twitch, it'd feel like I took all their tension and put it in my hands but could not get rid of it. When using the breathing I would not have this effect.

I believe this is similar to your experience. Any one else?
