What do you get? Part 2

What do you get when you put Elizabeth Hanson

 and Dawn Bornemann

 and Roxy Bolz

 and Donna Berger

 in the same room for 2 days watching Dr. Veltheim give 30 BodyTalk sessions?

 What do you get when you put 8 North Dakotans and Dr. Veltheim, who is from Australia, in the same room for 2 days?

 What do you get when you put Dawn Bornemann in the same room for 2 days with Dr. Veltheim who wrote the program which saved Dawn Bornemann's life?

 What do you get when you put Dawn Bornemann together with Dr. Veltheim, who wrote the program which saved Dawn Bornemann's life, PLUS Elizabeth Hanson who used the program which saved Dawn Bornemann's life?

The answer to all of these questions is that you get Dawn Bornemann.

You get Dawn Bornemann ALIVE and HAPPY to be a BodyTalk Practitioner

for exactly FIVE YEARS TODAY!!!

How can I ever thank you, Dr. Veltheim, and you, Elizabeth Hanson for saving my life?

How does one go about the mammoth task of thanking someone for saving their life?

The only answer that I have to THAT question is to imitate what they did and go about the task

of saving the lives that God brings to me in the next 5 years.  They say that immitation is the sincerest form of flattery and so I immitate those who saved me from suicide.  Yes, it's true that many who have had shingles commit suicide as the pain is never ending.

Hats off to Dr. John Veltheim;

Hats off to Advanced BodyTalk Practitioner and BodyTalk Access Instructor, Elizabeth Hanson;

and

Hats off to ME!!!

It's great to be alive!

It's even greater to be able to make a REAL difference in the lives of others as I work with them.  When I think that I am helping others like the 2 in the photo above have helped me, it makes me the happiest that I have ever been.  It makes me happy to sign my professional communications like this:

Dawn Bornemann

BS--Bachelor of Science

 CBPA--Certified BodyTalk Practitioner + Animal Talk

RMT--Reiki Master/Teacher

RO--Radionics operator

EFT--Emotional Freedom Technique

Although it's been a very tough 5 years, just look at all that God has brought me through.  Five years ago this morning, I had just had had my 500th bee sting.  I drove the 60 miles to Bismarck alone but was unsure if I'd be able to drive home or not.

After 8 hours in Elizabeth's Access class, I felt better than I'd felt in an entire year and it marked the beginning of my total recovery from a lifetime of abuse and stress.

I repeat--it's GREAT to be alive and just look at whom the Lord has put into my life as a result of my taking Elizabeth's Access class 5 years ago today.

Do you know how many people Dr. Velthiem and Elizabeth have helped through BodyTalk?  I'm sure that it's limitless and now I can help others too.

Today on my 5th anniversary as a BodyTalker, all I can say to summarize here is that I am humbled and honored all at the same time to be a part of the BodyTalk community!

PRAISE GOD FOR BODYTALK!!!!!  That's one exclamation point for each one in my family.

GOD BE PRAISED!

You may be wondering what I see as the next step for me?  Why to become an Access instructor like Elizabeth--but I'll save that for part 3 of this series, "What do you get?"

I welcome you to check out the website of the International BodyTalk Association here: www.bodytalksystem.com.  You can even go to the Practitioner's page and find me listed there.  Why, you could even send me an email at: linkstohealing@gmail.com and ask for a session and begin your journey towards a wellness and wholeness that you may never have imagined possible.  I know that I could not have imagined, 5 years ago as I drove to my very first BodyTalk class, how much personal growth would come out of it.  I'm a new person, with a new brain, and a new vision and I welcome you to join me on the journey.

Need to sooth your nerves?

Hi everyone,
  Sabbath was blissfully peaceful--aaaaaaaaaah!  I slept almost all afternoon and it felt wonderful!!!!!!!
Recently I was telling my cousin, Kristi, about my little popper that I bought in Georgia last Summer. Being my goal for this blog is to share what health nuggets I find, I decided that I would share info about it here.  It was marketed as good for all kinds of bites--from mosquito bites to RATTLESNAKE bites.  I'm serious.
Although it works great on bites, I've used it mostly this past year for stiff joints and sore muscles.  Already in class last year I had got to thinking that, if it works for inflammation from bites, why wouldn't it work for inflammation from other causes.  It really does take the pain out of overworked muscles or "Older" joints. 
Now, you recall that I was led to use L-Lysine for the nerve damage in my foot from the recent tumor living there for 2 months.  Well, a few days after I wrote last time, I saw my popper sitting on my dresser and got to wondering what would happen if I were to pop my foot with it.  Would it help to get the nerve growth stimulated?  Would it help to take out the inflammation in my poor nerve endings in that foot?
Well, I am very happy to report that it does WONDERS on the nerve damage!  In fact it does an even better job of stopping that infuriating tingling/burning/throbbing than the L-Lysine does!  I'm still taking the L-Lysine too, of course, as I prefer to slam a nasty pain with as many hammers as I have at my disposal.
On Friday I was hanging up some of the boy's shirts and laid it on Andrew's dresser.  I forgot it there and all Friday night I was in agony and ended up on pain killers.  Saturday morning Andrew brought it to me and I almost kissed him--I said almost as he is DEFINITELY opposed to that since he was age 11. 
Anyway, here is a picture of the simple gadget that can pack such a wallop to damaged nerves.   In a way, it doesn't seem to make sense why a small electrical charge would calm down overactive nerves and I'm not claiming to understand WHY it works--I'm just saying that it DOES work.
As always, I think of the shingles patients who suffer so terribly from a pain that is very hard to explain and even harder to bear.  I recall my medical doctor friend telling me 5 years ago, when I had shingles on my brain, that many people commit suicide from the never ending torture of post (after)
herpatic (herpes virus) neuralgia (nerve damage) which is the result of shingles.
If you know of someone who is suffering from the after affects of shingles, perhaps they'd like to try one of these little poppers on their nerve damaged area?  Certainly I would urge you to pray about this to see if God is urging you/them to give this a try.  Certainly I cannot prescribe this for anyone as I am NOT a doctor.  However, I am feeling the Lord urging me to share this so there must be somebody out there in cyberspace who is intended to read this message.
Just post a comment here (which I won't share with others) and I'll tell you how to get a hold of one of these  little miracle workers.  No, I do not carry them but I feel safe in endorsing them to all who have had nerve damage of any kind based on how much mine has helped me recently.  Here's what it looks like.  The price is nearly nothing for the punch it can give.
By the way, I do realize that I am horribly behind with my posting, but I'll catch up.  I told the children this morning that this time of year always seems like such a dessert to me with nothing but massive amounts of work staring me in the face.  Prairie Days and the 4th of July are over with and there's nothing to look forward to until Harvest of Thanks.  Can you hear the sanguine in me, here?  Oh how I love to be with others!!!!  I replay in my mind words, smiles, deep conversations, or hugs shared with those I love during the lonely hours and, as always, seek solace with my Heavenly Father or at the piano.  Still, I miss you sooo much today!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a great week everyone and, if you think of me, please keep me in your prayers for a TOTAL healing!
Dawn

Master Cleanse 4 ~ Day 3

Today was about like I expected--pain wise. I was driving the 9030 in the hayfield in the morning, when Andrew came out to the field with our "New" 4-wheeler. He told me that he and Jacob were going to go stack the bales, so they needed that tractor.

I asked him, "Are you going to take me home?" looking at the 4-wheeler in anguish. Now, keep in mind that one of my friends became a widow because of one of them; another one is crippled; and Jacob lost a dear friend due to 4-wheeler accidents--as in 13 years old and DEAD! I had made up my mind that I WOULD NOT DRIVE THAT THING!!!!!!!

Andrew said, "Come here, Mom. I'll teach you how to drive this thing." I looked at it for a moment and then thought, "Good grief. I'm driving this great big tractor and I'm not afraid. I guess it's time." And so it was. Cora took this picture of me when I safely arrived back in the yard with it--but I did NOT take the ditch!!! I will say here and now, "I will NOT take the ditch with that thing!"

Cora and I had a little time to play a few piano duets while we waited for the guys to get in for a late lunch. Now THAT is always a delight. Then she left for work; the guys left for the hayfield 13 miles away, and I was faced with a decision.

Am I going to take care of my needs or keep pushing on until I fall apart again? The stress has been mounting as I ponder the sale. What will happen when I see my brothers all together? What will happen if anyone starts yelling like the last time they saw each other? What will happen if nobody comes to the sale to buy dad's stuff and we're stuck with it all? What will happen if Dad comes to the sale and starts crying his head off as he does whenever he goes to the house? What will happen if, when all of the work is done, my dad doesn't show appreciation for all that we've been doing to get ready for the sale? So far he hasn't.

Elizabeth would say, "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!" I could go on like that up until the sale and put myself back on bee stings. ):

"NO, I WILL TAKE CARE OF MYSELF," I decided and headed for the whirlpool. The other night when I was hurting, I talked myself out of taking a much needed soak--but NOT today!

There is just nothing like the whirlpool to sooth my raw nerve endings in my neck and shoulders where the shingles had started. Now the dishes aren't even done from lunch yet, but I feel so much better! I cannot recommend a whirlpool enough for anyone suffering from shingles as I know that I could never have tolerated the pain without it. So, now that I'm a prune, I can face the dishes and the garden and the laundry and................

Once again I find myself praising the Lord for HIS marvelous, gentle healing ways. There truly is NO problem too big for Him to handle. AMEN?

A truly exciting part of today was receiving an email from my cousin, Kristi, stating that she may be able to come along with her parents for a visit to our farm next week. We have been

wanting to get together for years and now it may really happen. I know that the Lord knows how much moral support I'm needing before the sale and I praise Him for stirring up this idea in her heart to come at this time. Isn't He just awesome?

Well, it looks like I'm alone for chores tonight so I'd best sign off. I continue in need of prayer. That old song from my childhood just popped into my head right now--see if you remember it.

"Not my father; not my mother; but it's me, O Lord, standing in the need of prayer.

Not my sister; not my brother; but it's me, O Lord, standing in the need of prayer.

Hopeful,

Dawn
