Energy Healing and the James Gang I was introduced to Energy Medicine in 2006, but didn’t have a lot of faith in it because it never seemed to do anything for me. That changed in 2008 when I actually ‘felt’ a positive, long-lasting reaction from a treatment. I became a ‘true believer’ that Fall, when I attended a conference, at the Association of Research & Enlightenment (ARE) in Virginia Beach. Part of that conference was an introduction to the Quantum Touch method. Since then, I have had formal training in Quantum Touch and Healing Touch for Animals.
