If you’ve taken the Supercharging workshop, you know Alain Herriott, and the depth of skill, integrity, love and dedication he puts into his classes. Through a life of study, insight and creativity, he has developed what I can only describe as a new dimension in Quantum-Touch: Core Transformation.
Richard Gordon, Founder of Quantum-Touch

Going beyond the Basic Quantum-Touch workshop and the Supercharging workshop,  Core  Transformation I requires that each participant bring a deeper willingness and dedication. The experience is for those who truly wish to stretch their limits and dive into a profound and ongoing exploration of growth. To those who choose to embrace the mystery, stretch their inner knowing and abilities, a new journey begins.

Alain Herriott writes...

My wife, Jody, and I developed this class together to add to our repertoire of tools as Quantum-Touch practitioners. This class is a deep exploration of the self. It requires a commitment and a focus that moves well beyond standard Quantum-Touch.

You will first learn skills to quiet your body so well that you will be able to "hear" more clearly what's going on inside yourself and your client. This is cultivated through a series of physical/internal exercises that for best results should be practiced on a continuing basis. These exercises are drawn from Feldenkrais, Yoga, Qigong, and Somatic Learning of Risa Kaparo, but are approached from a different level of awareness and will take you on a continuing journey of discovery. The exercises are quite simple, can be spread out throughout your day and can be practiced pretty much anywhere. The time invested each day might total fifteen minutes. Of course the more you practice the more you learn.

In Core Transformation, we find that we can work on ourselves almost as easily as we can work on others. The level of sensitivity that we explore lends itself to self-healing and distance healing as well as hands-on work on clients. The deep sense of allowing that we cultivate allows us to truly melt and dissolve physical and emotional barriers, thus more is possible.

You will learn to identify and unravel stuck patterns in others at a very deep level, often even identifying microscopic changes in structure. When blockages are found, you will learn new skills to literally melt and transform them.

While all the tools are taught within this class, to be able to use them well requires ongoing practice. The more you practice the more your abilities will deepen.

I find that I still use basic and supercharged Quantum-Touch techniques, particularly when a client is very depleted. I often alternate between these and the Core Transformation techniques. I am very attracted to the "Core" work as taught in this class and often start here. In the long run I let the client decide how I approach a problem. I offer both, and continue with whichever technique is giving the client the best response. Some things respond faster to the Basic/Supercharged flow, and others respond faster to the "Core" work. Please join us in this exploration. I feel it offers the opportunity for deep personal growth as well as augmenting healing work.

Why Did We Create the Class?

This class was originally created in order to answer three questions that were often asked in the Supercharging QT workshops.

The Core Transformation class, with a little practice, answers all these questions and a great deal more. The Core Transformation class is really the other side of the coin in the Quantum-Touch arena. Instead of sweeping and breathing in order to "up" our vibration and then offer energy through us to create a result, we are working on ourselves to create an amazingly quiet and opening experience within. The "quieter" we make our system, the more we can affect others and ourselves. Within this system, whatever we touch becomes " us". This means that as we work on ourselves, we are working on those we touch. (This technique also works well long distance.) People say that with this touch it feels like the areas of disharmony are melting and/or unraveling.

Initially, this technique appears somewhat more difficult than the Quantum-Touch that you are used to. This is true to some extent in that it requires more focus to get used to a unique breathing technique. Once this becomes comfortable the technique is rather easy to do. The major difference between this and the basic and supercharging classes is that we do not send out any energy. We just unfold ourselves. You may have heard me refer to a Yang style of energy work and a Yin style of energy work.

The Yang energy work is what you have grown accustomed to and is what is taught in the basic and Supercharging classes. We send out (a yang approach to flow) energy and the client entrains to that flow. The Yin energy work is an "unfolding" rather than a "sending" method. While we are active with our intent to some degree, it is more about release than about push. In effect, when we work with a client, the client is entraining to quiet (Yin) vs. activity (Yang) energy. The nature of the Yin work is best understood by doing.

The movements that we do in this class are very simple. They help to retrain habitual movement patterns and "free up" how you move. In addition, the movements should be thought of as "speed bumps" to expand the awareness that is created through the Yin breath.

Alain Herriott Alain's focus and passion has been his involvement with the healing arts for over 30 years. As a yoga practitioner and instructor he began the path to self-discovery through deep meditation and contemplation. His path led him through numerous eclectic studies culminating in becoming a Qigong healer and teacher  in 1995. He was head Qigong instructor for Southwest Acupuncture College in Santa Fe, NM for three years.
	Since moving to  Talent, Oregon and discovering Quantum-Touch, he has been writing, offering private sessions, teaching and evolving the Quantum-Touch process with his wife Jody.  Alain has a surprising ability to see energy move and function in a person's body. He is also, more importantly, able to guide others' awareness of this energy movement in their own body, thus giving them accurate reference points to work from. He writes that " Upon discovering Quantum-Touch in 2001, I believe I have found the most powerful healing modality available today." Let the journey begin!
Jody Herriott Jody has been involved in energy work and alternative healing for over 25 years and has always been sensitive to energy flows in herself and in others.
	She graduated from the first Qigong teacher training class at Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, and has a Master's degree in Oriental Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College. She is a Licensed Acupuncturist practicing in Ashland, Oregon. Jody developed the Core Transformation class with her husband Alain, and continues to explore and expand the boundaries of this work.
Mervyn Foster Mervyn has been working with energy for many years, he has been a Shiatsu Practitioner for over 14 years and it started with his passion with the Martial Arts of Aikido and Iaido where he qualified as a Black Belt teacher and instructor. It was here that he started working with Ki (Qi) energy which took him on his journey to train as a Shiatsu practitioner in 1993 with a British School of Shiatsu in London. He and his tutors noticed that he had the ability to feel energy very early in his training and this helped him develop his ability of ‘seeing’ and ‘smelling’ energy.
	Mervyn has been training with Alain Herriott over the last few years to become the Advanced Instructor for the UK, Ireland and Europe. He has a passion for teaching and taught Basic Workshops for nearly three years and loves seeing new students to Quantum Touch find energy for the first time and he knows that the techniques that Richard Gordon developed can be used by anyone and everyone. Supercharge and Core classes are the next level for everyone who needs to know more about Quantum Touch and Mervyn’s ability to help and guide students to use their energy is a great asset.
