@Bagua: You were absolutely right -- I looked up qi sinking, tried the technique that was shown (I had to do it a number of times), and it actually worked! It got the extra energy out of my head, my memory is back to what it was before, and I no longer have that 'singed' feeling. Thank you so much! @SonofTheGods: You're completely right about me needing to sink and ground more. I am now feeling so much better. I would like to try the technique you suggested about sitting under a big trunk tree, that sounds very powerful and helpful. :-) Thank you for reassuring me. @Friend: I thank you for your detailed response, I am, unfortunately, not sensitive to scanning. I love your suggestions for relaxing with the warm tea. and observing the surroundings -- sounds very soothing! I definitely will be more careful next time not to invite too much energy (at the time, I thought i was doing something good). I had actually asked a number of teachers and professionals, and no one was able to provide any help. I am thankful to have been advised correctly here at the forum. I appreciate everyone who responded, your wisdom, kind words and reassurance. I hope you are all doing very well.
