I recently had a blockage in my entire left foot, which has confirmed to me that all this time, I was actually doing something when practicing NEW.

And that made me think, what did people do before NEW? And what are the alternatives?

And that made me think, what did people do before NEW? And what are the alternatives? I suppose they did therapeutic touch, Reiki, QiGong or Yoga.

I did a lot of chi kung before NEW. I can sympathize with you, me. ( :wink: ) I spent many hours sending energy to my tan tien only to find out while doing NEW that I was severely blocked in the abdominal region. How embarrassing!
The tactile awareness used in NEW has opened up my previous practices to exploration. For instance, I worked with my endocrine system and organs while practicing chi kung. Now, NEW has really connected me with these systems. The only thing I don't see in the literature about NEW is a way to "vent" used or negative energy. I still rely on my chi kung for that. But I've modified the technique, so I can perform it with my awareness hands.
