Have you ever experienced a situation that made you so angry that it ended up ruining your whole day or even your entire week? Have you experienced a sense of loss that permeated all other areas of your life?

So how do we clear those negative beliefs and emotions? There are MANY methods of doing this, and one method is by using Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT for short, developed in US by Gary Craig, and fast growing in popularity around the world because:

In this issue, we interview Angeline Soong, a Quantum-Touch healer and teacher to find out more about Quantum-Touch healing.
Could you briefly explain what is Quantum-Touch and how does it work?
Quantum-Touch represents a major breakthrough in the art of hands-on healing. Whether you are a complete novice, a professional chiropractor, physical therapist, body worker, healer, or other health professional, Quantum-touch allows you a dimension of power in your work that heretofore has not seemed possible.
Quantum touch uses special breathing and body focusing techniques to raise your energy level so high that with a light touch, pain and inflammation are rapidly reduced and healing is profoundly accelerated. The work is so easy that children naturally learn to do it, yet so powerful it is endorsed by physicians, acupuncturists, and chiropractors.
