Therapeutic Touch: what did I do wrong?!

Therapeutic Touch: what did I do wrong?

Okay, I "centred" myself in "Mom mode", just wanting to help my daughter rid herself of her sudden massive headache. I placed my hands on the front and back of her head, my left hand to the front, as I feel that's usually the hand that "pulls" and the right hand "pushes". Her skull felt full of confusion, crackling, static, noise...chaos. Prickly. I imagined my hand was like a honeycomb, drawing excess nervous energy outward, essentially "venting" it through my hand. As she told me her headache was going away, I could feel this yucky, heavy energy sort of piling up on the back of my hand, almost wanting to get back in. It felt sort of like she was a planet, and my hand was keeping this "yuck" from getting pulled back in by her gravitational field. Eventually, I pushed it away. Headache was gone, but then my arm and hand hurt. Is this normal? Typical newbie mistake? Channeling the wrong way? What? TT practitioners and those with experience, I'm interested in your thoughts.

Wow! great answers. I'm not a trained practitioner of any level. This is merely from reading a couple of books and just "winging it". I'm an artist; abstract concepts like energy fields and transfer just naturally make sense to me. I've only tried TT a couple of times (with okay results). I guess it's an art form, and practice makes perfect. :)

You were so focused on taking the headache away from your daughter, that you took it into yourself and forgot to do anything with it. Release it into the universe. I would have let the pain come through her crown chakra and into yourself, but then follow through by envisioning the "yuck" as traveling up through your body and out through your crown. You often hear of massuers taking in releases from their clients. Just remember to follow through next time. Release negativity through the crown. Hope this helps.
