Well, I just woke up AGAIN this morning. My heart has vainly been trying to calm down and then I heard this song on Rejoice Radio (which we listen to constantly). I want to share it with you all, just in case any of you out there also have the jitters today.
GOD WILL MAKE A WAY
WHEN THERE SEEMS TO BE NO WAY;
HE WORKS IN WAYS WE CANNOT SEE,
HE WILL MAKE A WAY FOR ME!
HE WILL BE MY GUIDE,
HOLD ME CLOSELY TO HIS SIDE;
WITH LOVE AND STRENGTH
FOR EACH NEW DAY;
HE WILL MAKE A WAY;
HE WILL MAKE A WAY!
I pray that you will take a few moments and watch this video which the Lord just sent my way to bless me with HIS everlasting peace! I close with our family greeting which we heartily share with each other every Friday night after the service and right before the Feast of Sabbath begins here. "SHABBAT SHALOM," which means peaceful Sabbath.
God will make a way for YOU, too, if you continue calling on Him.

ANTICIPATION
Do you remember that old TV commercial for Heinz ketchup with the song, ANTICIPATION, playing? We don't have TV anymore so I don't even know if that is still on or not, but it came to mind right now. The people were holding the bottle upside down waiting for the ketchup to start flowing out of the bottle. Well, that is exactly how I am feeling right now.
Dawn
You see, I had a VERY interesting experience yesterday which has raised my anticipation levels for today. Well, I have been feeling the urgency to go and see my dad for some reason. Yesterday, when I was talking to him on the phone, I told him to ask the cooks at the assisted living facility where he lives to prepare supper for our family for tonight. He said, "Maybe we'll just go to the Lyric." This was very unusual for him as he's always been the biggest Scrooge since Scrooge. He gets his meals "Free" at the facility, so to go to the Lyric would mean shelling out cash which he despises doing!!!!!!!!!!
I said, "Well, it doesn't make any difference to me as I pay either way."
Then he totally shocked me and said, "NO, I AM GOING TO PAY!!!!!!!!!" If you would know my dad, you would know that this is equivalent to our government suddenly deciding to honor God.
I said, "Well, it doesn't make any difference to me as I pay either way."
Then he totally shocked me and said, "NO, I AM GOING TO PAY!!!!!!!!!" If you would know my dad, you would know that this is equivalent to our government suddenly deciding to honor God.
I felt around for some anchor in that moment and, finding him sincere, I laughed and said, "That sounds even better." SO THIS IS THE PRAISE OF THE MILLENNIUM--MY DAD IS TAKING US OUT FOR SUPPER TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!
I would appreciate any prayers that you could send my way as I do feel as though the world just tipped upside down and I'm not sure if it's for real or not. Still, he has had 10 full-length BodyTalk sessions with me, and lots of little ones, so perhaps it HAS made a dent. Also, I'm wondering if him living with real PEOPLE, and not control freaks, may have opened his eyes to see how things are to be in families???? We'll see what the day holds.............
I have a prayer request for tomorrow too. I have a young-mom neighbor here who is excited about trying BT from what I wrote about it in the newspaper after I passed my test. She called a few weeks ago and said that the city of Napoleon is sponsoring a fund-raiser bazaar for their nursing home. Then she excitedly said, "It would be a great way for you to introduce BT to Napoleon and the price is only $25 for the afternoon. What do you think?"
Well, I thought about it for a few days and then decided to do it. I'm going to run it like we ran our free BodyTalk day last April in Bismarck and I'm praying that the Lord will use it to open some minds in Napoleon to the wonders of BT. The only difference between that event and this one is that I AM THE ONLY PRACTITIONER!!!!!!!

I covet your prayers for me to have the wisdom to know what to say and the peace to settle down and do great sessions even though the room will be far from quiet. I plan to give everyone who wants a short session from 10 to 15 minutes the chance to experience what BodyTalk can do. I'll have my pamphlets out to read and the story of how BT saved my life. I am very excited about this opportunity but also just a wee bit NERVOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you happen to live in the Napoleon, ND area, I am inviting YOU to take advantage of this opportunity and join me at the DownTowner on main street Napoleon tomorrow afternoon. The bazaar lasts from 1:00 to 5:00 and I would be honored to give you all a free sample of what BodyTalk can do to give you peace. Last April I worked on one man at our Bismarck clinic day. He told me later, as he is now one of my clients, that his shoulder that had been hurting him for 20 years, stopped hurting him during that session!!!!!!!!! WOW--PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS MIRACULOUS HEALING WAYS!!!!!!!!

PS. Here's a picture of my dad last November when we had his 80th birthday party at the Lyric. It's so hard for me to imagine that tonight he is buying US supper! Maybe I have to take Emmanual's advice and start to look for the GOOD things in life instead of continually anticipating the bad. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

The miracle of my aching finger
This is a REALLY strange and wonderful story. Robert had sent me a card, when I was in collage 30 years ago, which said on the outside, "Ours is a strange and wonderful relationship." On the inside it said, "You're strange and I'm wonderful." I laughed so hard as it was 100% true. :) It has stuck in my mind all of these years as an interesting combination of adjectives. Well, this story is in that category as you shall soon see.
About 3 months ago I got an infection in my middle finger on my left hand. It was very troublesome and didn't seem to respond to all of my usual treatments. I upped my Vitamin C first of all, but it just kept getting worse. I put salt in my whirlpool water, when I soaked, but the finger kept getting worse. I tried different things for the skin itself, but the swelling grew and it started to hurt. Finally I tried what I use on abscesses in the goats and that pulled out most of the swelling. I mixed lemon and lavender essential oils in a base oil and put this mixture on day and night. After a few days, the abscess popped open and there was cleansing, but it has remained a bit swollen to this day.
Shortly after the abscess popped open, the finger started to shed it's skin. This is very common in the animals, after they've had a fever in an area, so I didn't think a thing of it. However, it became a bit of a concern as I watched the fever move up into the finger and take the outer layer of skin off with it. I noticed that, as the infection moved up the finger, the line between the good skin and the bad skin was red with infection and it was itchy there. Pretty soon the skin started peeling off the finger all around by the tip. This was when it cracked open and bled when I was working outside and it was getting old FAST.
Two weeks ago, this lovely process had spread half way up to the knuckle when I went in to have a BodyTalk session with Tone-Lise. I felt led to work with her (even though Elizabeth will ALWAYS be MY BodyTalk practitioner as she is the one who saved my life) because I was feeling the need for in person sessions and Elizabeth lives over 3 hours away from me.
So 2 weeks ago (which was my 5th session with TL), I found myself reliving events when I was 4 years old--at the beginning of the abuse. It was soooooooooo real and I was reminded once again how EVERYTHING that has ever happened to us is stored in the subconscious brain. Tone-Lise is studying PaRama, which are the collage level courses in BodyTalk, so she has much to bring to sessions that I can't do for myself--of course she charges more than I charge too.
Anyway, after that session I felt like someone had driven a Mack truck over me for the following 2 days. WOW--it's like, "We're REALLY dealing with the core problem here." THAT WAS ROUGH, but I noticed something interesting. After that session, the track of the infection up my finger stopped. The line between the good skin and the bad skin was still red and the whole finger inflamed somewhat, but it stopped spreading.
Well, on Wednesday I had another session with TL and I told her about all of this. She said, as she is wont to do, "Interesting," and immediately reached for Louise Hay's book which has a chart of all of the emotions that are stored in the body parts. She looked up from the book and even she was amazed as she read to me, "The emotions that are stored in the middle finger on the left hand are FEAR and SEXUALITY." WOW--is that strange and wonderful or what??????
The session we did then will stick in my mind forever. We went back into that nightmare of a childhood, but with a new focus. TL said, "OK, you've probably relived this thousands of times but have probably always focused on him and the fear that he produced. This time, as I tap, I want you to go back and focus on the angels who were present with you at that time."
I took a deep breath and prayed a quick prayer that I have prayed before, "Lord, IF you were there that day, please help me to know it so that I don't feel so all alone." As Tone-Lise tapped on my head and heart, I opened up my mind to the possibility that God REALLY was with me in my darkest hours.
OH FOR JOY!!! The Lord gave me a vision then. I saw the room filled with angels whom I had not ever seen before when I had revisited this scene. THEY WERE THERE WITH ME--I WAS NOT ALONE!!!! Somehow I came to understand that God Himself saved my life that day and I lay in awe that I really AM here for a Holy purpose. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So now about my finger, this is what I've come to understand. So many times I have seen God Himself prepare people for their sessions. I believe that He was preparing me for these very deep sessions, by drawing my attention to my need to deal with this through my finger. Once again I have become awed how the mind affects the body. It's like my finger was getting the message, "It's time to deal with that deep dark secret now. Bring it to the light so that it can be cleansed and healed."
It's now been 2 days since that session and I can actually type without my finger hurting me. The infection is no longer climbing up my finger; the redness at the line of meeting is almost gone; and the skin is starting to take on a nice, red color. The peeling of the old skin has almost stopped which looks kind of funny as it almost peeled all the way around. I took a few pictures so that you can try to see it but pictures can't really capture something like this. Still, for what it's worth, here they are.
You can see the swelling around the joint and further up is the line where the peeling off stopped.
A shot more from the side to show the swelling. This is after 3 months of pain and inflammation.
This is the underside. You can see the new skin is on the tip and the old skin that hasn't all peeled off is visible a little further up the finger. Just looking at it makes me cringe as this has
NOT been a pleasant experience for me! Still, I am reminded that sooner or later I can come to see that, "All things work together for good to those who love the Lord; who are called according to His purposes." AMEN?
I realize that this may be the most odd post you'll ever read, but I just wanted to share this with you. My goal is to help you understand that many things are happening in your body right now that most likely are caused from emotional factors which have been stored throughout your entire lifetime.
In BodyTalk sessions, we help the mind to heal so that the body also can heal. This is incredible to me and, although I do not wish to sound like a broken record, I urge you to prayerfully consider getting BodyTalk sessions to help you to deal with your health issues. I don't care who you go to, only PLEASE consider finding a BodyTalk practitioner near you for ANY health concerns that you may have--no matter how strange they may seem!!! The results that are available through BodyTalk sessions are absolutely wonderful and there's nothing strange about THAT!
To your health,
Dawn

Health tips
It is so nice today, while I try to find time to post about my incredible session yesterday with Tone-Lise working on me, to be able to share some health tips from a new Internet friend. Doris sent this in this morning and the other comment came in from her last week. I am wondering, Doris, where you buy the sulfur?
Keep warm,
Dawn
PS. I haven't written much about the constitution diet yet but I'm sure that you'll hear much about it in the years to come. This is my 13th day following my diet plan and I am already feeling much better with less pain; more energy; less depression; and I'm feeling thinner somehow. Feel free to check my sidebar for comments on the diet.
Dear Dawn,
I'll add another experience. I was wearing my crocs a lot and ended up getting a lot of mud and dirt in them which ended up in me getting a case of athlete's foot with lots of itching and blisters which finally became infected as I continued to ignore it until it became painful to walk. So my husband suggested that I soak it in peroxide and minced garlic.
Wow!! It immediately killed the infection. Huge improvement, but, the fungus was still in my shoe, and as life is busy, I didn't do much other than clean my shoe, which didn't make the fungus go away.
Well the itching and blisters were flaring back up. So I had some spilled sulfur laying about, and decided to pack it in around my toes. Again, Wow!! So not only did it kill the fungus, but it made my shoe a healthier place for my foot to be. I just need to sprinkle a bit in each pair of shoes, I think.
Thank you for your suggestions, I would love to find out more about the constitution diet, do you have any posts about it?
Blessings,
Doris
Dawn,
Dearly Beloved! Well, it's true, as I have fallen in love with you just by reading these few blog posts. You are a treasure from Heaven.
Yes, that amazing onion has soooo much healing capabilities. For I understand it is high in sulfur and sulfur is very effective at fighting fungus, which I understand that cancer is. Another thing that is a good cancer fighter is copper. There is a good amount of copper to be found in Kelp. Also, you mention Vit D in your next post about Mercola. So, Vit D, copper, sulfur, are very good for you and necessary for your good health--you see they are all important in helping the body absorb calcium. And Calcium is KEY to preventing and stopping cancer.
There is a very good book by Robert Barefoot called 'Death by Diet' that explains how critical calcium/magnesium is to our well being and prevention of cancer. And having attitude problems when the cancer is rampaging totally fits with what I know and my own experiences. Keeping your ph up is the solution to all the symptoms you are dealing with. That is my 'humble' opinion.
You are loved with an Everlasting Love!!
Blessings my friend,
Doris

Coming events
Hi everyone,
I am rethinking my Cranford post so will post my new thoughts on that tomorrow--hopefully. I had not been able to see how the whole thing was steeped in feminism while I was watching it, but it's there. Feminism, in my humble opinion, is behind most of the woes in our world but I'll have to save those thoughts for later. I have much to do this morning to prepare for my day in my office.
I want you all to know that I am VERY excited about this coming Sunday. I have been asked to have a booth in Napoleon at a fund-raising bazaar. I will do short 10-15 minute sessions on as many people as possible. If you are in the Napoleon area and want to show your support for BodyTalk, please be one of those people as I welcome all support. It's at the Downtowner (not crazy about the location but the bar is in a separate room) from 1:00 to 5:00. I covet your prayers for this event as it may open up Napoleon to BodyTalk--if that is the Lord's will at this time. If not, I'll "Just" plant some seeds and help a few people to feel better. Last time I did this, one man told me that his shoulder which had hurt him for 20 years, quit hurting after I worked on him. PRAISE THE LORD!!!
Blessings to all who serve the risen Lord today!!!

Cranford
We're off to the Dagley farm to help them plan for Prairie Days AND to learn how to write our own wills. Their lawyer neighbor is coming over to share with us and, seeing as this has been on our minds a lot over the years, we will go and see how to take care of this once. Last week, one of Robert's customers had a brother die suddenly. This was the nudge from the Lord that we needed to take this responsibility seriously. More on this later.
Our Sabbath was wonderful. We sang hymns for about half an hour and then I continued reading in BEYOND THE END TIMES. I cannot urge you too much to read this book! We'd be happy to loan you a copy as we have two, if you feel the Lord leading you to the truth in this area of understanding end time prophecy. It's a real eye-opener.
We started studying about Preterism about 10 years ago. Recently, though, Andrew asked if we might revisit this subject as he was so young the first time that we studied it. His comments are a blessing as we revisit this subject. I have become even more impressed with the urgency to help people understand that our very faith is at stake if He didn't come when He said He would!!!!!!!!! Here's the link to the International Preterist Association in case any of you are curious to learn more about this: http://www.preterist.org/
After church we watched Cranford. I should say that the rest of the day we watched the DVD Cranford which I checked out at the Bismarck library. WOW!!! What an amazing story about the need to TELL THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I need to get changed to go "Calling," so I wish you a great week in the Lord!!! I'm sharing some old time pictures because, as usual, the British Broadcast Company has once again got me dreaming about the "Good, old days."
In His service,
Dawn

Miracle?
Is it a miracle???????? Well, I spent all of about 20 minutes last night laying on these miracle balls that I bought at Sam's yesterday. This was when people were constantly saying, "Mom, look at this on the Olympics," and I knew virtually nothing about what I was doing. She says that, if you ever have pain, you just move the balls, so I figured I'd give it a try.
It did hurt in one location on my lower back, so I moved the ball and it went away. I was surprised that it didn't hurt under my neck as she said often a person's most painful area will be too sensitive to treat directly. Oh, by the way, I'll answer the results question at the END of this post. I'll use Dr. Davis's technique to keep you reading. ;)
Anyway, I took these pictures this morning. It's kind of funny that the balls are the same picture as the new camera the children gave me for my birthday. :) Like I said in last night's short, imperfect post, I felt led to go to the books section in Sam's yesterday. It's like this little box just leaped out at me, so I picked it up.
That's commonly called, "Following your intuition," in BodyTalk. It's when you let the right side of your brain, which is the intuitive side, lead you and you temporarily turn down the left side (the logical side) of the brain which is screaming, "That doesn't make any sense?" Melanie taught us to say to our left brain at moments like that, "You need to go outside and take a walk now. You'll be welcome back in a few minutes." That really works by the way. I encourage you to welcome your intuition into your life especially at times when you're trying to make a decision. After all, God DID make BOTH sides of our brains but our culture teaches us to dis-trust the right brain intuition--HOW SAD!!! But that is the subject of another post which may or may not ever get written so I throw it in here. :) BIG BREATH AND PROCEED TO POINT!
This is the little box which had a big attraction to me yesterday.
These are the first words that I saw and I was hooked. It says, "Relieve your pain--Reshape your body--Reduce your stress". WOW It's like that 's all that I've been thinking about for the last 3 1/2 years (since the shingles on my brain started). HOW CAN I GET RID OF THIS PAIN????????? That's why I had 745 bee stings and I would consider that pretty drastic measures to try to reduce pain--so I have to lay on a couple of balls. Reduce my stress would be my next priority here as that is what brought on the shingles in the first place. Who cares about reshaping my body? OK, well maybe I care about that benefit a LITTLE bit. :)
Here's the whole kit which is helping people from all walks of life to get their pain under control.
and here is a closeup of a real live (oops) Miracle Ball.
I can hear you thinking, "So, what's your point?" Well, my point is this. After a massive 20 minutes of laying on these things last night while our family watched the Olympics re-cap of the day, I woke up with less pain in my lower back this morning!!! Through BodyTalk's Biofeedback system, I have the capability of asking my body for precise information about my state of being. I learned, then, that I had 23% less pain in my lower back when I woke up this morning than what I had yesterday morning!!!!! WOW--to me that is pretty impressive! It's impressive enough for me to continue reading the book and finding a few moments today to learn more about THE MIRACLE BALL METHOD.
It did hurt in one location on my lower back, so I moved the ball and it went away. I was surprised that it didn't hurt under my neck as she said often a person's most painful area will be too sensitive to treat directly. Oh, by the way, I'll answer the results question at the END of this post. I'll use Dr. Davis's technique to keep you reading. ;)
Anyway, I took these pictures this morning. It's kind of funny that the balls are the same picture as the new camera the children gave me for my birthday. :) Like I said in last night's short, imperfect post, I felt led to go to the books section in Sam's yesterday. It's like this little box just leaped out at me, so I picked it up.
That's commonly called, "Following your intuition," in BodyTalk. It's when you let the right side of your brain, which is the intuitive side, lead you and you temporarily turn down the left side (the logical side) of the brain which is screaming, "That doesn't make any sense?" Melanie taught us to say to our left brain at moments like that, "You need to go outside and take a walk now. You'll be welcome back in a few minutes." That really works by the way. I encourage you to welcome your intuition into your life especially at times when you're trying to make a decision. After all, God DID make BOTH sides of our brains but our culture teaches us to dis-trust the right brain intuition--HOW SAD!!! But that is the subject of another post which may or may not ever get written so I throw it in here. :) BIG BREATH AND PROCEED TO POINT!

I'll keep you posted. As you all know by now, my main reason for starting this blog was to pass along alternative health tips which can help YOU to have a better life too. When God shows me something that helps my health, well I'd just simply burst if I didn't share it with the world. Thus A RAY OF HOPE was begun in November of 2008 and I intend to share everything that I learn about health improvement here as long as the Lord decides to give me breath! It is my prayer that you, too, will learn to trust your intuition and pursue the natural methods that He has for YOUR healing. When you trust your intuition, it's a very interesting life. Oh the side- road adventures we take together--my Lord and I. :)
Happy today,

THE MIRACLE BALL METHOD
My daughter, Cora, keeps reminding me that even a short post is better than NO post at all. The perfectionism in me usually cringes when she makes her point, but I know that I have enjoyed her posts, even when they are very short. So here goes.
Today, after morning chores, my menfolk and I went to Bismarck. We saw our friends, the Fuerher family first. Then we headed to the farm store where Robert picked up our pipeline cleaning supplies and Andrew picked up some of his supplies for his new grain cleaner. I ate my lunch in the back seat of Andrew's pickup while they were in shopping. Next we went to the library to return a book and we picked up 3 DVDs to watch this week. One was Cranford which a friend had recommended to Cora. The other was a John Wayne movie and the third an old one about the Olympics.
The guys took me to my office then. They had their lunch while I got to work doing 3 wonderful sessions with 3 wonderful people. :) OH HOW I LOVE DOING BODYTALK SESSIONS! I was visiting with my partner, Jean, when Robert came back for me. From there I went to Sam's and the guys went to Wall Mart to look for some fabric for Andrew's gravity table, which they were happy to find.
While I was in Sam's, I felt led to go to the book section. Have you ever had something just seem to leap out at you? Well, that's what happened as I quickly browsed through the books. There was a little box with a little book called THE MIRACLE BALL METHOD and it came with 2 "Miracle" balls. Has anyone ever heard of this?
Well, all the way home I read the book and got half through it. I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT I READ. The author shared about her chronic pain in her leg and how this method came together in her mind as she talked to different experts. The theory is that chronically tight muscles cause the body to stay too tight which causes chronic pain which causes the muscles to be too tight.... It's a vicious circle of pain, pain, and more pain.
Basically her program includes deep breathing while you lay on the balls. The weight of the body does the work and people are recovering from long-standing painful conditions. Can you see why I'm excited about this? I will certainly let you know how it goes but for now I want to go try it out. Bismarck days, no matter how wonderful, ARE very stressful. If this works as great as she claims, I will be pain free in no time. THAT SOUNDS GREAT TO ME!!! Oh, I just saw that there is a website listed here but I haven't gone there to see if it's still active. This is the address:www.workman.com
Let's go check it out together!

I'M FULL
We're in the middle of another blizzard and my family is watching the Olympics, but I found myself eager to share with you my big news. Many of you may recall that Robert gave me $250 for my birthday so that I could have my energy analysis done. I sent in the information that they needed to perform the analysis shortly after that. Then I waited over a month for the results, as they were in the process of moving their office at that time. I guess it usually only takes 2 weeks for the processing, but it was worth the wait!!!!
This may have been one of the most important things that I have ever done for my health!! It is absolutely fascinating to watch my body start to respond to "MY" diet. This is helping me to meet the needs of the Constitution type that I was born with. Further, as I listened to the hour long CD which explained my constitution type, literally EVERY event that I experienced in regards to my health, could be explained in light of my not understanding what my constitution was. In other words, I now can understand the repeated miscarriages, cancer, and even shingles which I had twice (on my side in the mid 90's). Being I didn't know what my body needed, I suffered untold sorrows. The good news is that NOW I DO KNOW HOW TO BEST NURTURE MY BODY!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you sooooooooooo much, Robert, for making this possible. Many thanks also to those who shared the information about the Constitution diet with me in the first place!!!
Basically I have the Lesser Yin Constitution. This means that my stomach and spleen energy are VERY cold and damp. This means that I need to eat 80% of the foods I eat this month in the warming category and 20% in the neutral category with 0% being in the cooling category. This means that all of the hot peppers which I have been avoiding, thinking that they were upsetting my stomach, are actually GOOD for me.
Then, for the rest of my life, I need to eat roughly 60% warming foods; 40% neutral foods; and 1 cooling food a month IF I don't start feeling poorly again. The good news here is that I can eat WHEAT. The bad news is that it's probably been the salt (VERY COOLING) in the bread all of these years that's been making me sick. The trick here, then, will be to find ways to make the recipes work without the salt. Does anyone know if the salt actually is necessary for wheat foods to turn out or is the salt merely there for taste? I am very interested in any information that you may have about living salt-free.
There is much more to it than that but I am VERY happy that I can still have wheat, peanuts, and my precious goat's milk. These are all warming foods and what I need to eat so that I can get more warmth into my system. I've certainly been enjoying the horseradish sauce I've been topping everything with this past week, but it does have salt in it. It would seem that I need to find a line of salt-free foods or else make EVERYTHING myself. I am very excited that I started a horseradish plant here last summer which I dug out of Robert's Aunt Lyla's garden, but I have no idea how to go about making anything with it. :)
One other major change is that I need to focus 70% of my exercise time on building up the upper body. This is NOT what I have been doing as I LOVE my Burner for toning up the lower part of me. This needs to change, though, as I need to focus on bringing the excess energy which is in my lower body up to the top part of me. This will help my body make better use of the heat which I am now losing through the skin. This is for my LIFE to improve so I need to let go of the pre-conceived idea that "I need to work my thighs half to death."
To be blunt, then, I have been watching my body like a hawk since I began eating for my Constitution this past week. The first major improvement that I've noticed is that my bowels ACTUALLY WORK!!! Constipation is a sign that the Lesser Yin constitution needs are not being met. When I think of all of the laxatives that I have taken in my life, it is absolutely SHOCKING to think that they were totally unnecessary if I had only been eating according to my constitutions needs!!!!!!!!!
Now today I have noticed another improvement which I'm sure will seem totally weird to you. All my life, I have been amazed to hear people say that they were FULL. I honestly can say that this phenomenon was a total puzzle to me. Even on Thanksgiving Day I would stuff myself with food, but could not ever notice something called, "Feeling full."
Well, yesterday before evening chores, we had a snack as we eat late on Friday nights. We like to have chores done before we enjoy our feast of Sabbath, so we usually have a snack before we go out to do the milking. When it came time for supper a few hours later, I noticed that I was not hungry. I still had a chicken enchilada because they are SOOOOOOOOOOOO wonderful, but 1 really filled me up so I skipped a second one.
Then today at lunch, I again noticed that I was feeling strangely content with the food I had eaten. Sometime this afternoon I noticed that I was not one bit hungry and at suppertime I had no desire for my Saturday night popcorn. HOW CAN THIS BE????????? In truth, I haven't had one bite for supper but merely drank some tea as I am not hungry one bit. Slowly today my brain has absorbed this thought, "I'M FULL." I'm full and I know it and I'm not eating too much because I have no desire to put more food in my already full stomach!!! IS THAT A MIRACLE OR WHAT??????????? I can honestly say that I cannot recall feeling this sensation every in my life before today!!!!
The ramifications of this are soooooooo exciting as I ponder FINALLY getting my weight under control. On the CD, Grace said that my constitution is the slowest to make changes as it is very cold inside. If, after only 4 days on "MY" diet, I have enjoyed 2 major changes already it doesn't take much of an imagination to comprehend how excited I am starting to get at the thoughts of a lifetime of eating the way that I need to eat!!!!!!! PRAISE THE LORD FOR THIS HOPE!!!
Well, if you're not curious yet to read about this, I must not have done a very good job of expressing my excitement at learning how to meet the needs of my Lesser Yin constitution. If you ARE curious, though, feel free to go here to learn more: http://www.healingthesource.com/
It would make me so happy to learn that you have felt the call to meet your body's needs in this way too, so PLEASE let me know if you are pursuing this in your life as well.
Please keep me in your prayers as I learn how to accept the good news that I know now how to feed my body for maximum health. I need to learn that it really is OK for me to be healthy. You mean to tell me that I REALLY DO DESERVE TO BE HEALTHY? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll keep you posted!

I DID IT!!!!!!!
Well, I did it!!!!!!!!! I've been meaning to start a second blog where people can post their BodyTalk or Reiki success stories. Tonight I finally took the time to begin and I'm enclosing my first post from my new blog which I've named the same name as my business (to keep things simple) which is Links to Healing.
It's pretty stripped down right now, but that's how new blogs are. I hope to get it prettied up soon. Cora said to pick this template as it is most conducive to all of the cute backgrounds that she uses on her blog, so there's hope that things will be more enjoyable to look at there in the near future. :)
If any of you have had sessions from me and would like to share your story with the world, please go here: http://linkstohealing.blogspot.com/. My hope is that, as the years go on, people will be able to go there and read about a whole assortment of human ailments which BodyTalk has healed. Please help me to get the good news out that there IS hope no matter how ill a person may be.
Blessings,

Share your success with the world
Yesterday, after I finished a session, my client said, "Do you remember when you did that body chemistry to stimulate my immune system to help me to deal with my sister?"
I nodded and she continued, "Well, that night I got a fever and I knew that my immune system had kicked in to help me to deal with this."
"Wow," I replied, "that is very intersting that your relationship with your sister was physically affecting your health."
"Yeah," she said, "and she hasn't bugged me EVEN ONCE since then."
A. went on to say that her sister, being 9 years older than her, has bossed her around all of her life. She concluded saying, "It's so nice to answer the phone when she calls and not have her stress me out."
That was when I made my decision. You see, I've been pondering for months about setting up this blog. I want a place where my clients (BodyTalk or Reiki)can come and share how their lives have been blessed by my sessions. So this is it. It's my first post on my new blog called LINKS TO HEALING. That's the name of my business so I decided to keep it simple and use the same name for this blog.
If you have anything that you'd like to share with others about how BT, Reiki, or EFT has helped your life, then PLEASE feel free to leave a comment here. My goal in this is to let others see the power that is available, through the energy medicines, to change lives in EVERY facet of life. TO GOD BE THE GLORY AND TO YOUR HEALTH.
This is your blog, then, and I urge you to write and share either how a single session has helped you or how a series of sessions has helped you to recover your health in some "Little" way. I'll try to separate the comments into specific areas so that others can read from issues that are most pertenant to them. Feel free to just use your first initial as that is not the point--what matters is that YOU are helping to get the word out there so that others will open their minds like you have. GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look for the beauty
Sometimes God feels so close to me that I can hear His voice. Just now I was lying down for a short nap before my next session. I told Him that I am starting to get stressed out about going to work in my office in Bismarck tomorrow. After all, it was after working there last week that I went into 5 days of bed rest from stress.
"I'm starting to get nervous about tomorrow, Lord," I said.
"Just get quiet before me now," I heard, "and I will tell you a great secret."
I held my breath and prayed to hear His voice longer.
"When you are stressed, all you need to do is look for beauty around you in something which I have created. You are in the habit of looking at the stress and it gets you more and more anxious. What you need to do is to get in the habit of looking for something beautiful which I have created EVERY TIME that you get stressed. After awhile, you will learn to look for the beauty in the situation which is stressful. THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT ALL THINGS I SEND YOUR WAY TRULY ARE BEAUTIFUL."
I'm stunned. After a life of what I have termed mostly ugly and hurtful experiences, God just told me that all of it had some beauty in it--I JUST COULDN'T SEE IT!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!
Well, I need to go do the session now but I just HAD to share this insight with you. I pray that it will help all of you who are, like I have been doing, focusing on the stress rather than the beautiful thing which the Lord must certainly have placed nearby to help make it bearable. WOW!

Dear friends,
Thanks a million for your prayers this past week. This is the first day that I woke up without abdominal pain--YEAH! The affects of stress are ever a threat to my life and I'm sure to all of us if ignored long enough.
Thanks a million for your prayers this past week. This is the first day that I woke up without abdominal pain--YEAH! The affects of stress are ever a threat to my life and I'm sure to all of us if ignored long enough.
I'm not sure if I have ever written about Dr. Joseph Mercola but, if I haven't, it's about time that I do. Dr. Mercola has the country's largest alternative health clinic in Chicago. His goal is to completely change the thinking of Americans. Let me explain.
When I was a kid, if you were sick your parents took you to the doctor--it's like it was the goal or something to go see the doctor. When I was a young adult, I bought a book called, "Before you call the doctor," which listed many things that you can do to not have to go to the doctor. The book also listed, under each illness, red flags so that you knew when you absolutely MUST go to the doctor. Well, last year Dr. Mercola wrote an article, with statistics included, which proved that going to the doctor is the number one cause of death in this country!--NUMBER ONE!!! I can't recall the name of that article right now, but I'm sure that you could find it in the archives by going to his site:mercola.com
Well, Dr. Mercola has a new goal for us to ponder--he calls it a paradigm shift in our thinking, which he is working VERY hard to accomplish. His theory is that, if we would all take our responsibility to find out what our body needs to be strong and healthy, and then to DO that, we wouldn't need doctors except to reattach arms after accidents and things like that.
I have come to value Dr. Mercola's opinion so highly that I normally consult his list of approved products before I buy any health related products. He has a team of researchers evaluating products and health tools and I value his opinion HIGHLY. Is he always right? Only God is always right as my friend Sarah K. would tell you that he was WRONG when he said that krill oil is better than ALL cod liver oils. I guess the Weston A. Price Foundation set him straight on that one. However, what I like about Dr. Mercola is that his heart is set on helping Americans recover their lost health, and that makes him a man after my own heart!!!!
Dr. Mercola freely shares his research findings with all of the world when many others charge hundreds of dollars for "Their" discoveries. If you're not yet subscribed to his FREE e-newsletter, I urge you to do so today--it may save your life or that of someone you love!!! Just go to:mercola.com and tell them that you wish to subscribe. Anyway, when I read this article on EMFs this morning, I knew that I simply MUST share Dr. Mercola with all of you out there who are searching for honest alternative health care information.
I can sense the urgency in Dr. Mercola in this article--HE IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT EMFS and so should we be. IT IS URGENT THAT WE ALL TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! Please read this article and do the research that he suggests right along with me. There is a website which he recommends where we can learn ways to protect ourselves from emfs. It made me VERY glad that we got rid of our microwave a few years ago!!! In his list of suggestions, there were many things that we can do which won't cost much at all or maybe even nothing.
Before I share Dr. Mercola's article, though, I would like to share one other thing which we BodyTalkers all do for our health. We wear Q-links to protect us from incoming negative energy. Here's one of the sites for you to read up on them:http://www.emf-health.com. I cannot recommend this enough for EVERYONE who lives on the planet at this time, to invest $40 per person and arm your family in this way.
Lastly, I want to say that I decided to copy Dr. Mercola's article this morning, because he explains things the way we BodyTalkers do. As I read through this (he comments down below someone else's article) I thought, "My goodness, that is a very good explanation for what we do in BodyTalk." I'm thinking of using some of his comments to better explain BT to new prospective clients. THANKS DR. MERCOLA!!!
What I'm saying here is that BodyTalk also is a great way of armoring yourself against EMFs. Every BT session I do re-establishes the inner communication that stress (electromagnetic too) has deteriorated. I urge you to consider learning more about BT too as a way of dealing with this onslaught to our nervous systems which Dr. Mercola wrote about today. Feel free to study about BT here:bodytalksystem.com
Once again, it is VERY urgent that all of you read this article and begin to work against this electrosmog which is impacting our health every day without our awareness. I LOVE YOU ALL TOO MUCH TO SAY NOTHING ABOUT THIS VERY REAL AND PRESENT THREAT TO YOUR HEALTH!!!
Praying that you'll read and heed this,
Dawn
PS. The paradox here, as I ponder the picture that I chose for this post, is that I am writing this on MY COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! True, but I'm going to my room to do a BodyTalk session on myself right now. PRAISE THE LORD FOR BODYTALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An increasingly alarmed army of international scientists have reached a controversial conclusion: The "electrosmog" that first began developing with the roll out of the electrical grid a century ago, and now envelops every inhabitant of Earth, is responsible for many of the diseases that impair or kill them.
During the past 100 years, we have methodically filled in the electromagnetic spectrum far beyond what occurs in nature.
Recently, several developments have highlighted the growing hazards of EMF pollution and the crucial need to address them.
In 2007, the Bioinitiative Working Group released a 650-page report citing more than 2,000 studies (many very recent) that detail the toxic effects of EMFs from all sources. Chronic exposure to even low-level radiation (like that from cell phones), can cause a variety of cancers, impair immunity, and contribute to Alzheimer's disease and dementia, heart disease, and many other ailments.
Additionally, every single study of brain tumors that looks at 10 or more years of use shows an increased risk of brain cancer.
A recent study from Sweden is particularly frightening, suggesting that if you started using a cell phone as a teen, you have a 5 times greater risk of brain cancer than those who started as an adult.
A recent study showed that exposure to very-low-frequency voltage signals (1-100kHz), or "dirty electricity,” can greatly increase your risk of melanoma, thyroid cancer, and uterine cancer. These signals are largely by-products of electronics, such as modern energy-efficient appliances, televisions, stereos and other entertainment devices.
These electronic devices use a lower voltage than other appliances, and this manipulation of current creates a complex electromagnetic field. This field not only radiates into the immediate environment but also can travel along home or office wiring throughout the neighborhood.
"For the first time in our evolutionary history, we have generated an entire secondary, virtual, densely complex environment — an electromagnetic soup — that essentially overlaps the human nervous system," says Michael Persinger, PhD, a neuroscientist at Laurentian University who has studied the effects of EMFs on cancer cells.
And it appears that, more than a century after Thomas Edison switched on his first light bulb, the health consequences of that continual overlap are just now beginning to be documented.
Dr. Mercola's Comments:
New scientific evidence is continually emerging that nearly all the twentieth century human plagues can be tied to some aspect of our use of electricity, including:
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children
Brain tumors
Malignant melanoma
Asthma
Cardiovascular disease
Immune system dysfunction
Hormone disturbance
Brittle diabetes
Sleep disorders, headaches, Alzheimer’s disease and ADHD
And this is just a partial list.
EMFs and Your DNA
Cells in your body can react to EMFs as a harmful invader, just like they do to other environmental toxins.
Remember that you are an electrical being.
Your body is a complex communication device where cells “talk”, tissues “talk,” organs “talk,” and organisms “talk[1].” At each of these levels, the communication includes finely tuned bio-electrical transmitters and receivers, which are tuned like tuning into a radio station. What happens when you expose a radio antenna to a significant amount of external noise? You get static from the noise – and that is what is happening to your body in today’s electrosmog environment.
Two of the more well-known biologicals impacts from electrosmog are the interruption of the brain wave pattern[2] leading to behavior issues[3] and the interference to your body’s entire communication system (cytoskeleton)[4] leading to abnormal neurological function, such as dementia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia.
At a cellular level, your cell membrane receptors (the brain of the cell) recognize electromagnetic fields at very low levels of exposure producing a stress response similar to that produced by exposure to heavy metals or toxic chemicals.[5]
This can cause the cell membrane to go from an “active” or permeable state where it allows nutrients in and toxins out, to an “inactive” state where the cell membrane is impermeable. During a normal day, your cells will change states thousands of time, but when under constant environmental stress, the membranes can be locked in the inactive state. This is often referred to as “oxidative stress” as nutrients are able to enter into the cell, while toxins (free radicals) are not allowed to leave.
There is also real evidence that this inactive state can even have geno-toxic effects, meaning electrosmog is toxic by both damaging DNA and preventing your body from repairing DNA, which can be the first step to cancer.
We are not really sure what the “trigger” is that causes health problems, but we know that the electrosmog is definitely a contributing factor. For health, your body must be able to communicate within itself, that is, to be in harmony with the natural rhythm of the earth and all life.
The chaotic and unpredictable patterns from electrosmog can create noise in your body and force your body out of harmony. These damaging biological effects have been found at levels far below the so-called industrial and governmental safety limits—1,000,000 times lower than those limits, in some cases.
Why do things such as MTT, acupuncture, TENS units, pacemakers, and many other bioelectrical treatments work? Most likely a major reason why they work is because they focus on getting your body back into its natural rhythm or resonance. Just as you breathe in oxygen from an atmosphere you can’t see, your cells are suspended in a sea of vibrational energy that you can’t see or feel—that is, until it makes you sick.
As the MSNBC article states:
“Remember, these positive-negative shifts are occurring many thousands of times per second, so the electrons in your body are oscillating to that tune. Your body becomes charged up because you're basically coupled to the transient's electric field."
Keep in mind that all the cells in your body, whether islets in the pancreas awaiting a signal to manufacture insulin or white blood cells speeding to the site of an injury, use electricity—or "electron change”— to communicate with each other.
By overlapping the body's signaling mechanisms, could transients [electrosmog] interfere with the secretion of insulin, drown out the call-and-response of the immune system, and cause other physical havoc?”
Yes, absolutely.
And the really frightening aspect about electrosmog is how little control you have over it.
How You Can Protect Yourself
Fortunately, you are not completely helpless. There are strategies that can help reduce your exposure and protect you from the constant onslaught of radiation.
For over 20 years, Building Biologists (http://www.buildingbiology.net/) have been studying and educating the general public regarding the negative impact of electromagnetic fields (EMF). On their website are multiple videos and information on the why, what and how for dealing with EMFs.
First and foremost, you’ll want to reduce your exposure to as many sources as you can.
For my latest list of safety tips and guidelines on how to reduce your exposure, please see my previous article.
In addition to these recommendations, Camilla Rees mentions a few more in her video, including:
Intestinal care: Make sure you’re getting plenty of healthy probiotics. The Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland discovered that symptoms of electrosensitivity can be reduced by providing gut barrier support. For more information, listen to the interview with Dr. Rau, medical director of the Paracelsus Clinic, available at this link.
Regular detoxification programs: Not only are you dealing with increasing amounts of toxic chemicals in your environment, your body is full of microorganisms that respond to EMFs by generating increased levels of their own toxins, according to a course for physicians on this subject, taught by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD.
Beware of mold: Mold, just like other microorganisms, can also react in high EMF environments. One study showed 600 times more neurotoxins generated from mold in a high EMF environment. According to Rees, there are also mold legal cases being reviewed, questioning whether problems in buildings infested with mold may have actually been related to nearby antenna infrastructure.
Controlling the environment in which you sleep is especially important, given you spend a third of your life there. Review how to create a sleep sanctuary in five easy steps.
More Electrical Pollution Solutions
Electrical Pollution Solution has an extensive list of steps you can take to combat electrosmog in your home and work environments. Their suggestions include the following:
Have an electrician remove dimmer switches, halogen lights, and variable speed frequency drives (VSFD) where possible—like on your energy-efficient washing machine.
Remove touch lamps, plasma TVs, most compact fluorescent bulbs, fluorescent lights with electronic ballasts, some full-spectrum lights, and wireless plug-in phone jacks, which are all sources of high frequency EMF.
Remove flashers from decorative lighting.
Remove your microwave oven. Besides dangerous EMF radiation, microwave ovens have other negatives impacts on your health.
Only use laptops on battery; recharge them when you aren’t around since the transformer on the charging cord emits a very large field.
Have your electrician make sure the wire between the meter and your electrical box is large enough and in good condition.
Have a plumber install a PVC pipe between the house pipes and the water/sewer system.
Have the phone company install a Radio Frequency (RF) Filter on your phone line; some people also install shielded phone wire.
Only buy new electronics that have appropriate harmonic noise filters already installed.
Avoid using electric blankets and electric heating pads.
Use rubber gloves when washing dishes or working at the sink, and stand on a non-conductive mat. Both increase the resistance of the path through your body.
Put aluminum flashing on your desktop computer, and connect that to aluminum flashing under your chair with another strip of aluminum flashing.
You can even buy conductive socks or copper insoles! More specifics on these can be found at http://www.electricalpollution.com/.
For additional EMF information, please see EMF.mercola.com for the latest news and updates.
Be a Live Wire for Change
The last thing that you can do, and perhaps the most important, is to help spread awareness about this ever-increasing problem.
If you believe that one or more transmitting products is making you ill, please report it/them to the following agencies (be prepared with the manufacturer, model and/or serial number, and a list of your symptoms):
FDA 1-800-FDA-1088 The same FDA program that regulates medical devices also regulates consumer products that emit radiation.
Consumer Product Safety Commission 1-800-638-2772
EMR Policy Institute
It’s unfortunate, but the government is not likely to step up and do the right thing to protect your health without a lot of pressure from the public.
Power companies have successfully beaten back attempts to modify exposure standards. The cell phone industry, which has funded at least 87% of the research on the subject, has effectively resisted regulation.
Please get involved at any level you can, to help increase the pressure on industry and industry regulators, which is the only way to create a safer future for everyone.

Made me laugh
My lifetime friend, Anna, just sent me this silly forward. Sometimes I am just too busy to read forwards--I really am. I just finished 2 long first sessions on the phone now, though, and was needing to unwind. This was perfect timing so thanks, Anna, and have a great day dear friend!
I figured that all of you needed to read something on the lighter side, so here goes.
Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support recently. I'm still taking it easy but actually went out and helped with chores this morning. IT WAS SO WONDERFUL TO BE ABLE TO WORK AGAIN!
Love you all,
Dawn
Why, Why, Why? Why ?
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are almost dead?
Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they already know there is not enough money?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars; but have to check when you say the paint is still wet?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, 'It's all right?' Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, 'That really hurt, why don't you watch where you're going?'
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter, why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?
And my FAVORITE ...
The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness.. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

Rough week
Well, this week is over and I am glad. It's the first week since '07 that my health took a major turn for the worse. The first part of the week was busy with activities and I'd never have guessed that I was in for a fall. Here are a few pictures from the early part of the week. 
Here we introduced Cora's new dog, Lady, to the basement. She wouldn't go down by herself but did follow Cora up the steep steps. Lady is with us a week now and is adjusting very well!
Andrew caught me working with my little goat kid, Cosette. She's got a stiff front leg and I stretch it back a little bit every time I'm out in the goat barn. It's getting more loose now and she is starting to bounce around on it like little kids do.
Andrew took about an hour to show me his new grain cleaner. WOW!
He took my picture on his rig.
The next day I spent in Bismarck with clients and was feeling the stress of the decision that's been weighing on my mind. In April I'll need to either re-new my contract with our landlord or get out of the office. Things haven't been going that great with several of my partners but I get stressed just thinking about where else I could go to work for that reasonable rent.
To make a long story short, I've been in bed for the past 3 days with miscarriage-like symptoms--LOTS OF PAIN!!!
One viewpoint that I've been encouraged to ponder is that the Lord is encouraging me to birth my OWN office in Bismarck!!!!!!!!! WOW, HOW COULD I EVER AFFORD THAT? I covet your prayers as I ponder just what I am to learn from this very difficult time.
Soon I will write about the results of my energy analysis that came yesterday in the mail. It promises to hold some answers to why I have been sickly all of my life.

Prayer request
Dear friends,
Please cover me with your prayers now. The increased stress from the Massage Therapy board, plus needing to decide where to have my office in Bismarck after April, have taken their toll. I am putting myself on bedrest for now. If you want any details, please email Cora at: corabeth87@gmail.com.

Parental Rights Amendment Again
Dear friends,
I'm sorry if this seems redundant, but I am deeply burdened about the loss of parental rights in our country if we do not get the Parental Rights Amendment passed. The website that I copied this post from has been set up to keep us all informed of ways that we can help to get this safety net put in place. PLEASE take the time to go to the website and sign the petition. People who do NOT care one hoot about your children's and grandchildren's welfare are trying to remove our rights to parent our children for their well-being. THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!! Please get involved in fighting for this, for life as we know it will change forever if we don't all do our part to get the Parental Right's Amendment added to our consitution.
In His service,
Dawn

No, we're not talking about Barack Obama or the State of the Union Address.
A year ago this week, ParentalRights.org tossed out our old website and replaced it with the one we have now. Since then, we have had more than 623,000 unique visitors, and more than 5300 blogs or websites have linked to our pages.As we reach this one-year anniversary and take stock, we remain committed to providing you with the facts and information you need to stand up for parental rights in your state and in our nation. We maintain a comprehensive list of cosponsors in both the House and the Senate. We also break things down by state so you can know which of your lawmakers support our efforts, whether there is a PRA resolution introduced in your state, and how you can contact your congressmen.
Soon, we will add a list of local chapters as well, so people will know who to contact to get involved where you are. We will also begin posting quotes from your congressmen letting you know where they stand on the Parental Rights Amendment. And over the next several months, we will help you keep an eye on current and prospective pro-parent candidates as the 2010 elections draw near.We will also continue to provide the kind of clear explanation and legal analysis you need, in writing or in video clips, to persuade friends and lawmakers alike that the threats to parental rights are real, and that the Parental Rights Amendment is the only effective means of saving these vital liberties.But we also recognize that our numbers, as good as they are, will not be enough to reach all of America with the warning that their parental rights are in danger. Once again, that is where you come in.

Every link is another opportunity for someone in the world to discover our issue for the very first time.We are convinced that the Parental Rights Amendment will pass the House and Senate when there are 10,000 supporters in 400 congressional districts who are willing to call their members of Congress. This is only 4 million people. There is no doubt that there are 4 million people in this country who would support the Amendment if they only knew what you have learned.There is a direct correlation between the number of supporters we have and the number of endorsements we will get in Congress.

17th floor of the Capitol
Some of you have been asking for more details about my day last Friday. I finally am getting over the increased pain from the events, so I think I can handle writing about it now. It was a big day for our whole family as Robert & Andrew were heading up north to look at a grain cleaner for Andrew; Cora was riding along with them to pick up a "New" basset hound in Minot; Jacob wanted to go see his friends the Bartlett boys; and I had this luncheon meeting at noon.
It was stressful for me, right off the bat, as I had to drive Andrew's pickup. With all of Andrew's luggage + banjo for his weekend at the Bartletts, plus Cora's plan to come home with a dog and her kennel, it seemed best for them to take the van for all of their "Stuff." I've only driven Andrew's pickup once so it made me nervous to have to take it to Bismarck for the day.
Then when I got up there, I had a hard time finding a parking spot. It somehow galls me to pay for parking and the hotel where the luncheon was held parks their cars in a parking ramp. I drove around the block several times until I found a spot on a side street. I wasn't exactly late, but I heard someone say, "Amen" just as I entered the restaurant.
Everyone sat down and the table was full. There was a small table behind Elizabeth and she gestured me towards it after she greeted me. Ellen came a few minutes later and Tone-Lise and Bel a little later yet and we filled up the table with BodyTalk practitioners. Just in case anyone is wondering, I had a $7 turkey sandwich with some raunchy potato chips. I was listening too much to the meeting at the time to think of asking for a salad instead. In this picture you can see Elizabeth in the blue and my partner, Ellen, in the green at my table.
Here are some of the other ladies. Most of these people were Core Synchronism practitioners but a few were Reiki ladies too. We pretty much listened to what has been happening out in the Dickinson area as we munched. I was appalled to hear that several Reiki practitioners had police officers come to their office with a massage therapist with them. The Reiki practitioners were required to continue their sessions, with the law breathing down their neck, to see if they were using any massage techniques. HOW CAN THIS BE? Do the police bow to the beck and call of the ND Massage Therapy board now??????????????
We have no word about a meeting date with the massage board yet but I am praying that it will happen soon. We all agreed to meet with them, face to face, so now we wait. Do you suppose they'll be man enough to face us?????????? It should be interesting and I'll keep you posted.

Our meeting broke up a little after 1:00 with everyone heading for the Capitol. Needless to say, I was UPSET. I arrived at the Capitol at the same time as my friends Bel and Tone-Lise. We took a quick tour of the House of Representatives and the Senate while I shared about our various home school battles we'd fought there and the battle to keep GM wheat out of ND in 2002. These friends were pondering taking the steps to the 17th floor and I thought I'd at least start out with them. I had a little extra steam to get rid of so I started out with vigor.
Bel said that she wanted to go at least to the 10th but we both needed to rest long before that. Tone-Lise never even got out of breath and she shared how people in Norway, her native land, walk a lot more than people do here. Well, as we came up on the 10th floor landing, I said, "Well Bel, I'd really like to go to the 12th." She laughed and after a rest, we continued our climb.
Then on the 12th floor landing Bel said to me, "Well Dawn, how about we go to the 15th?" We laughed together then and Tone-Lise said, "TO THE TOP LADIES," and so we did. We passed the 17th floor, where the meeting was to be held 20 minutes later, and climbed to the 18th floor which is an observatory. WHAT A GLORIOUS VIEW THERE IS UP THERE--ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE EVER MADE IT UP THERE WITH YOUR OWN TWO LEGS!"
Well, we enjoyed the view for a few moments and then descended to the 17th floor. We found the room, which was full of people already, and I was blessed when one of the ladies offered me her chair. I must have looked all worn out from the climb so I thanked her and sat down. I shared the arm of the chair with my friend of 20 years, Bel, and the meeting began.
Assistant Attorney General Mr. Edward Erickson (pictured below) opened the meeting at exactly 3:00. I think he was quite surprised with what he heard. Mr. Erickson had a hand-held recorder which he aimed at anyone who spoke. At first it was a bit daunting but then, when we realized that we were all saying the same thing, a group cohesion was quickly knit. You see, ALL of us now have a common enemy and that is indeed quite bonding.
The Dickinson ladies went first, as that is the war zone at present. One of the ladies shared that she had been at the Capitol on the day that the new Massage law was passed last year. However, when she realized that what was being said only applied to Massage therapists, she never gave it another thought. However, when an article appeared in the Dickinson Press last December, which was paid for by the ND Massage board, things changed. You see, in that article they charged that many of the energy modalities are practicing massage. Further, they demanded that if we did not stop doing our work, they would prosecute us and the penalty is $25,000.
Everyone who wanted to speak their mind concerning this nonsense could share their thoughts with the ND Massage Therapy Board via the tape recording. This young woman shared that she has clients who are critically ill and who depend on her Core treatments to keep them alive. I shared how once I was in that condition and Elizabeth's BodyTalk sessions kept me alive. I further shared that most of those sessions were done on the phone and it's pretty tough to move muscle tissue over the phone.
This Core practitioner further shared that she has collected testimony from her clients and most of them said the same thing, "How stupid do you think we are that we wouldn't know the difference between a massage and a Core session?"
These pictures were taken after the meeting but I wanted to show you "My" life saving BodyTalk practitioner in the blue here--Elizabeth Hanson. She does such a good job of presenting her thoughts and she out and out demanded that the ND Massage Therapy board PUBLICLY apologize to all of us for the slander that they caused us by mentioning our modalities in such negative tones. EVERYONE IN THE ROOM CLAPPED THEN!!!
Many people complained that the massage board did NOT meet in January, when they are scheduled to, so that we could take our grievances to them before we must lose income from their slanderous newspaper article. Elizabeth shared that 2 BodyTalk practitioners in the state have decided to postpone their work until something can be resolved here. It does make one wonder when the police have already been involved and it's not like I have $25,000 to give away.
Elizabeth said that we are all running legitimate businesses with credentials from our certifying organizations who truly do understand the ins and outs of what we do. She offered to give every one on the Massage Therapy board a free BodyTalk session to help them try to understand that BodyTalk is NOT massage. Later I offered to help her IF she happened to get anyone take her up on her offer as she is a very busy lady and things shouldn't all fall on her shoulders any more.
At the end of the meeting, there was still many practitioners with very high emotional levels in the room. Mr. Erickson could tell that things were not handled right on the part of the board for so many to come out to speak. He said that most of the time nobody comes to those meetings. Once in a while, someone will come to watch but not to actually SAY anything. Well, if you get someone playing high and mighty trying to take away your income, of course people are going to get upset. But it's more than that--these people are all healers!!! These people, like me, all have others depending on them for life-strengthening therapies. HOW DARE ANYONE SAY THAT THE PEOPLE OF NORTH DAKOTA DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO GO TO ANY PRACTITIONER THAT THEY WANT TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were falsely accused and my writing here is only the beginning of the writing that I intend to do on this subject. I will write at length my thoughts on this subject to the ND Massage Therapy board. I will inform them that I have people from all around the WORLD reading about their RIDICULOUS attempt to take over the alternative health care realm in ND. I intend to use this to show them that ALL TYRANTS WILL BE EXPOSED AT SOME POINT FOR WHAT THEY REALLY ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How dare ANYONE in the United States of America lie in order to attempt to stop the free flow of ideas for the benefit of all??????????????? TELL ME THAT YOU GREEDY VILLAINS!
Well, I wasn't quite so emphatic in the Capitol on Friday, as I'm a much better writer than speaker, However, I didn't hesitate to point out that if Elizabeth had not been allowed to practice BodyTalk in 2006, I WOULD BE DEAD!!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't be here to help all of those I'm helping in BT currently and all of those I'll help in the future. I closed my thoughts with, "We NEED this modality in North Dakota!!!!!!!!"
Just before my friends Bel (on the left) and Tone-Lise descended the staircase, Bel said to me, "Dawn, you were very eloquent in your talk." ME, ELOQUENT???????? I just laughed, but it made my day! You know, I lost almost all of my friends when I pursued BodyTalk to save my life, but God has blessed me with a new set of friends. How many friends do you have who would urge you to climb the capital and wait while you caught your breath at every other floor? These 2 alone (not to mention all of you out there) make my life so rich so as to hardly even imagine that I once thought of myself poverty-stricken in the friends department. Isn't that just like the Lord? So many times I try to make something happen on my own and it all falls apart. However, when I just follow Him and obey His will for my life, THEN he adds the desires of my heart on top of the peace that passes all understanding for being where he wants me to be. Praise the Lord, oh my soul!!!!
We have no word about a meeting date with the massage board yet but I am praying that it will happen soon. We all agreed to meet with them, face to face, so now we wait. Do you suppose they'll be man enough to face us?????????? It should be interesting and I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, each one of us must decide how to proceed with our businesses. I am leaving it up to the Lord. If He brings me someone to work on, then I will work on them. I'll make sure that they know that I'm not doing massage on them, but I refuse to make them feel like a bunch of dummies. PEOPLE KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GETTING A MASSAGE AND PEOPLE KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GETTING A BODYTALK SESSION. Why must that be so difficult to understand????????
Conquering my fears,
Dawn
