Hi, I was happy to find this forum. I have been healing using energy for some time but fairly sporadically. Have been focusing on healing more lately and find that the experience knocks me out. I'm glad to see you posting Frank, please don't be discouraged.
Welcome, Touch,
You deserve your own thread since it's a different form of healing.

Those who work by physical contact are at somewhat of a disadvantage with strangers and those who are squeamish for whatever reason about being touched (I demonstrated for a postal employee once with severe O.C. disorder), so you may want to attempt the "hands-near" method.
How are you knocked out (I assume you're becoming exhausted, not fainting) by healing? Have you had any empathic experiences? I'm thinking that you may be allowing yourself to become overwhelmed by others' pain.
Regards,
Brian
