Buzzing Hands, Curiosity, and Synchronicity Leads Me to Quantum-Touch

By Chaya Silberstein

One of the more common questions I receive when I tell people I do energy work is, “How do you prevent yourself from getting drained?” I love this question so much because it’s an excellent introduction to Quantum-Touch itself.

Quantum-Touch was created with this concept in mind. Often there is a misconception that the practitioner is pouring their own energy into the client or taking on their client’s issues. I experienced this firsthand before I learned Quantum-Touch.

For years, I felt a kind of buzzing in my hands. I first noticed this as a child after I heard a story about my grandfather's first cousin, Saul, who was a powerful energy healer. At the start of World War II, he was a solider in the French Army when the Germans invaded and he was taken captive to a prisoner of war camp. Legend has it, that one night he walked to one of the gates of the camp which was blocked by very fierce guard dogs. He stared intensely at the dogs until they whimpered and laid down quietly. He was then able to freely walk out the camp and made a successful escape.

After the war, Saul set up his own healing practice in his local community and one time, when my grandmother was visiting, she complained of a headache. As I heard the story told, he simply passed his hand over her head and within minutes, it was gone. These stories really inspired and awakened something in me and I knew that energy healing was possible. Though at the same time, I was ignorant that energy healing was something you could learn and practice, and thought of it as a “gift” that either you had or you didn’t. Yet in the back of my mind, the thought nudged me that if my relative had this gift, perhaps I did too. 

I would often have serendipitous events happen to me, but it was only when the tingling in my hands grew stronger that I decided to experiment. About eleven years ago, I was working at a restaurant, waiting tables, when a co-worker complained of a headache. I asked if he minded if I tried something, and he said, “Sure.” I gently touched his head and instinctively hovered my hands over certain areas that felt slightly energetically denser to me. Within a minute a two, after I removed my hands, he looked at me in astonishment and said that his headache was gone.

The only problem: I now had a headache! I didn’t worry about it too much though, since alleviating someone else’s headache was pretty cool, even if in the process I had “given” it to myself. I didn’t yet know that with Quantum-Touch I didn’t have to take on the issue I was working on and that by simply being aware of the breath and energetic flow of my own body, I could allow life force energy to flow from a place of infiniteness and lose nothing of myself in the process.

Fast forward a year. I was sitting in a coffeeshop in Venice, California when I found myself in conversation with a stranger, who told me he was writing a book. As a writer, myself, my curiosity was sparked. He introduced himself as Richard Gordon and when I asked what the book (The Secret Nature of Matter) was about, he expanded on energetic concepts that were unfamiliar to me, yet intriguing. Over subsequent conversations, it came-up that he had founded Quantum-Touch and I casually mentioned that if he was ever looking to add a writer or editor to his team, I was the woman for the job. He responded that, indeed, he did need an editor to compile an e-book of healing stories and introduced me to Quantum-Touch Chief Magical Officer, Jennifer Taylor. Hence my journey with Quantum-Touch began.

I started on the back-end by reading and compiling hundreds of stories sent to Quantum-Touch over the years of all the ways it had miraculously helped people with various issues ranging from scoliosis, to hip injury, to cancer, to pain management and to debilitating emotional issues like depression and anxiety.

To be honest, despite my own brief “experience” with healing, I started off somewhat skeptical, but the more I read and engaged with the community, the more curious I became. It was like the path was calling to me and planting itself on my doorstep. When I was given the opportunity to take my first Level 1 class, I was over-the-moon with excitement.

During my first class, I felt a tremendous surge of energy and two things immediately became clear to me:

1. By engaging in breath and body awareness, I could maintain a high vibrational state and not get drained. This was definitely a hallelujah moment!

2. I, you, everyone, carries tremendous power within each of us, it’s just about awaking it.

Over time, I learned that I can charge myself up without being drained because, most importantly, I wasn’t giving the client my own energy, but rather opening myself up to infinite life force energy that flows through all of us. By placing my awareness on my own body and raising my own vibration, the client is able to entrain and self-heal. Total game-changer! Anytime I now do a session, if I ever feel drained or that I’m “taking on” their condition, I go back to my own breath, my own body, I try less, and I let go of a desired result, trusting in the infinite flow.

The more I play with energy healing, the more I realize that it’s accessible to everyone all the time. We all have special talents that naturally emerge as we engage in this work. Some people are super intuitive or visual, others have an incredible sense of smell, others get information audibly. We learn the basic techniques which helps us develop the areas we’re more gifted in, and then we go beyond that too and just do the technique. But my point of pointing that out is if you feel less adequate at first, engage in a way that feels natural to you. Maybe you have a hard time feeling the sensation of energy, but maybe it sings to you instead or there’s certain colors that show up. Engage in a way that feels natural and over time you’ll begin to develop the other senses as well.

These days, ironically enough, I don’t use my hands as much, since most of my sessions are conducted remotely over Zoom or phone, but through this work, I’ve learned to experience the light buzzing everywhere, not just in the hands, for Life Force Energy is everywhere—we have simply to open ourselves up to its healing power within each of us.
