I've had a great sadness recently! One of the brightest minds of our time passed away peacefully.
Dr. John Veltheim, founder of the BodyTalk System, passed away even as he thought of how he could be helping more people.
The truth is that I would be dead without the work of this great pioneer and so would MANY others!!
Today he is being honored by those of us who followed John and learned the techniques that restore balance to the body, mind, and spirit.
One of John's students wrote this tribute I'm sharing below which blessed me and reminded me why I am a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner.
Whatever you are called by God to do, may these words inspire you to do it to the best of your ability.
Here's to Dr. John Veltheim--and his legacy.
When a tree falls in the forest and everyone hears it, what do they do about it?
John was a master gardener of human potential. He had a gift, and he didn't keep it to himself. John planted it like a seed. It was a unique seed, and it grew into a wonderful tree producing fruit of its own kind, which is to say that every fruit is also unique. Countless people all around the world enjoyed the shade and sustenance of this tree like a much-needed oasis in a barren desert. Other people wanted to be a part of the tree. They wanted to learn and grow and be nourished by its roots. These people became the fruit, which in turn contains its own seed.
When the fruit is ripe, it separates from the tree and falls to the ground or blows far away. Can your seed take roots of its own without the direct sap of the parent tree? John enjoyed his tree and cared dearly for every piece of fruit, but this was not his ultimate goal. John wanted to help people and to be of service to mankind. John's vision was not that of one tree, no matter how glorious it could be. His vision was more like that of a self-sustaining forest in every corner of the world, providing endless nourishment for all those who enter for centuries to come.
In my opinion, John wouldn't be too concerned about being remembered for what he did. What he wants to know now is: What are You going to do?
I know that it's been far too long since I've written here but BOY have I been busy. My mind is filled with gratitude as I try to summarize all that has happened since I've written here last. I really like this poem because it summarizes how very blessed the children of God are. We cannot ever thank God for all of His blessings though we should strive for years on end!!! AMEN!
I thank God immensely for my amazing family that has grown to 13 members over the 42 years that Robert and I have been married. The love we have for each other grows every year even though we live in different states!!! That is definitely a never-ending gift from God!!
We have 4 birthdays in November plus Thanksgiving. That certainly is a LOT to celebrate!!!!!
Jacob comes first on the 5th. This year it was his 27th birthday and he had some special friends come over to help celebrate with him. Happy birthday to you, dear Jacob, happy birthday to you!
Andrew is next on the 12th. We celebrated his 32nd birthday together and we got to play Carcassonne. YAY Now that certainly was a good birthday gift to give him. lol. Happy birthday to you, dear Andrew, happy birthday to you!!
Our next family birthday was little Josiah's. He is Andrew and Marie's middle son and he turned 3 years old now. You should see him holding up 3 fingers. ;)
It just so happened that Josiah's birthday fell on a family trip, Little David needed to see his eye surgeon for his last post-op exam. I think I've shared here that Andrew's youngest child was diagnosed with glaucoma at 4 months of age and he had eye surgery a month later. David's eyes are doing well now although he has to wear glasses and an eye patch so that the weak eye doesn't get weaker. I digress.
The last November birthday in our family is Robert's Mom. She turned 88 this year and was able to join us for Thanksgiving. YAY. Marly is doing well and we rejoice.
Now on to Thanksgiving day. Cora and family weren't able to join us this year but they supplied our organic turkey. YUMMMMY Being we had extra room at our table, we invited a family that lost their mom to cancer last year and our coyote hunter who was around here diminishing the population of those howly beasts.
Everyone worked together to prepare the feast and was it ever good!! Then at supper we celebrated our birthday folks as our guests had brought a large ice cream cake for our joint family birthday party. Their 2 sons birthdays are around this time too! It was such a special day! My daughter-in-law captured me in this picture. I share it so you can see my joy at having a full table and a house full of laughter. We even played UPWORDS so there's some heavy thinking going on here! ;)
Now I must share a GREAT joy that Father has brought into my life. As you may remember, I have had Multiple Sclerosis for many many years. I have suffered greatly with it since 2006 when I nearly died from shingles on the brain. Both shingles and MS are nervous system disorders and EXTREMELY painful.
In mid October my son, Andrew, and I attended a political rally. I have a friend who was working at the registration table. After I registered, Donna handed me a small envelope. I asked Donna what it was and she said that she was giving me a gift of 4 patches.
Now, Donna had written to me the week before sharing that she would like me to try a healing tool that she had just learned about. I guess she really meant it. lol This is nothing new for me as I have tried MANY healing tools that people were sure would heal me of MS. I have no regrets for trying all of the natural remedies that I have tried but very few have made much of a dent in the pain in my legs.
A few days later I went on a trip by myself over to Cora's in MN as Robert and Jacob were still combining corn. I wanted to attend baby Caleb's baby dedication service so I tried out the patches Donna have given me. I didn't tell Cora about wearing the patches as I wanted her to give me feedback later on. To make a long story short, my daughter DID notice my improved energy levels; that I had less pain; and was filled with great joy!
When I got home, I lived without the patches for about a week and it was terrible!! Having experienced less pain and greater thinking ability, while using the patches, to go back to what it was like before that made the pain even more pronounced. UGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Long story short, I signed up to become a LifeWave distributor. I do not want to be without these patches ever again! They work by sending our own life energy back to the brain. The brain then tells the body to secrete it's own stem cells which it does. Stem cells can go anywhere and become any kind of cell that the body is needing at the time. This is 20 years in development and an AMAZING breakthrough to ease the sufferings of mankind.
I started giving away patches like Donna had done with me. So far my neighbor, who broke her ankle last year, is walking sooo much better and my friend's dog, who suffered a stroke, is up and walking in days. I can hardly wait to see what other healing stories will come in the months and years ahead.
Me, how is my life better? Well, I have been able to cut waaaay back on pain killers since I'm wearing the LifeWave patches. Some days I don't need any!!!!!!!! My brain is functioning better so that I can get more done every day. Also, I am so much happier. I'm not sure if that's a combination of the above or a separate "Feature" on it's own. I don't really care much about why they work because I have been so happy to be feeling better that I'm even singing again. Those who know me know that singing is as natural for me as it is for the birds. It's been a long time, though, since I had the energy to sing....
If you are interested in knowing more about these amazing healing tools, I'm going to share the link to my website now. https://lifewave.com/bodytalk2007 Please watch the 2 very short videos there. I will say that most people under age 45 may not be in need of these patches. That is because our bodies release our stem cells on our own before that age. Now, if someone under age 45 is ill, YES these will help them!

So now, to summarize my thoughts today, I am super blessed to walk with God as He guides me as a wife, mother, mother-in-law, and a grandmother--also daughter-in-law; sister-in-law, aunt, and cousin. I am amazingly blessed to help people with my ever growing skills through BodyTalk; BodyCode; CFT; Splankna and now LifeWave.
My great joy is to see people and animals recover their strength through my work!! In the past, as I lay on my deathbed the second half of '06 and the first half of '07, Father told me that I would help many people to get well. I can recall laughing at that idea as I needed someone's arm, or a wall to lean against, just to walk to the bathroom. I couldn't remember what I had just said a second before and all I wanted to do was die. How could I ever help anyone to get well when I helplessly lay on a mattress in the sunshine month after month?
God did the impossible!! He healed me of shingles on the brain and now HE is doing it again--He is healing me of MS!! I can only help so many people through sessions in a day BUT I can give patches away and I am and I will continue doing so.
If anyone is in lots of pain and cannot afford to purchase your own patches, you write me at the email address above. Send me your address and I will send you the number of patches Father says to send to you as a love gift--no charge. He wants ALL of His people to function well. WE HAVE A WORLD TO TELL ABOUT JESUS!!!
I am writing this with patches on my body that are taking the pain away PLUS keeping me calm so that I can capture my thoughts and put them into words!! What a gift these patches are to the world! THANK YOU SO MUCH, FATHER!!
