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

Menstrual cramps helped a LOT

Many thanks to this woman for her comment which came in last night. I've said to Robert so many times, "I'll never get rich doing BodyTalk." However, there are many kinds of riches in this world. I've dreamed of helping people to get well for as long as I can remember, and now I am able to do it!!!!!!!! I vividly recall telling my naturopath, Dr. Faye Johnson, a few years ago,"I have always wanted to help the sick and suffering in the world, but I never had a tool before that could help EVERYBODY." She smiled at me and said, "Now you do!"

Well, I'm off to Bismarck today to see clients at my office so I hope to have more success stories to post here soon. I covet your prayers as I still have pain when stressed too much.

Blessings to all who serve our King today,

Dawn

I started seeing Dawn a couple of months ago and have to say BodyTalk has helped me so much that I wanted to share it. I have always had very bad periods. The cramps were excruciating that I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. I would start getting cramps 3 to 4 days before my period and they would last the whole time. I also have always had lower back pain. Now that I have been seeing Dawn I hardly even notice when I get or have my period! Which is amazing! Also the bad pain is almost all gone! I'm a huge believer in BodyTalk. I don't really know how it works, all I know is that it does work!

Phone session

This came from a client who found me from my newspaper article after I got certified. She has lived with terrible pain from adhesions having had many surgeries. She has even gone to Texas for adhesion removal work as her pain has been debilitating. Last week I again worked with this woman and she has gone from a good day being non-existant to only one bad day a week. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!

Dawn,

Thank you so much for the BodyTalk via phone. I will drink my water today. I am also feeling good today, so I send my thanks to you.

J.

Drinking water is of the utmost importance after sessions. Negative emotions are released during the session, so water is needed to help the body push them out. I urge my clients to drink at least half a gallon of water after each session. Drinking water itself also cuts down on pain, so that's another great reason to drink LOTS of water.

Later,

Dawn

Care and kindness

This came from a VERY ill woman who is slowly mending.

Dearest Dawn,

Thank you again for teaching me about BodyTalk and gving me such great treatments. I appreciate all your care and kindness. Also, I appreciate all your prayers. They have been much needed.

I'm so glad to see and hear that you and your family are all feeling better.

Many blessings,

J.

More sleep relief

This is a short-but-sweet hand-written note that made my day. It said:

Dawn,

Thank you for the great session. I slept so great last night. I appreciate you and your gift.

Love,

More strength

Here are 2 emails that I received close together from a client who has viewed herself as weak in relation to certain others in her life. In the session, it came up that she was ready to let go of a thought process regarding the word, "Strength." I'm not ever sure what specifics are involved but we're taught to tell the client to look for improvements in this area.

I was delighted to hear that, very quickly after the session, she learned that she had more strength than she thought she had. Did the session give her more strength directly? Perhaps, but my guess is that, by getting rid of the thought that she didn't have enough strength in that area, the strength that she had all along was able to emerge. AWESOME!!

Please note that she commented how tired she was the evening after her session. This is perfectly normal as a BodyTalk session can be very tiring for the brain--it's HARD WORK! However, it's work that needs to be done so that healing can take place, so it's good work! :)

And now, seeing as Sabbath is here, I will rest from my work and wish you all peace.

Dawn, or as Cora calls me, Mother B.


Dear Dawn,

I want to tell you that today I needed "strength." When that came up in Body Talk I knew immediately what that meant as there is one person in my life who has always made me feel weak and helpless.

I am weeping right now but don't want you to feel down about it. Please be encouraged that you did good work the other night as I don't know if I would have had the strength to stand up to this person today if you hadn't given me the session! I kept repeating the verse, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." And I was able to do what I needed to do. It's funny (not really) how this situation came to a head a couple days after the session, isn't it? This will be a strong point in favor of Body Talk.

Dear Dawn,

After I wrote the previous note to you, the same person called me again! It was even more grueling to sit and listen than the first two times. When I could get a few words in, I did, and I think I made much more sense than he did.

It was funny as he would ask me a question. When I was trying to answer, he would interrupt so I tried interrupting, too. Then he would say, "Don't interrupt me, I'm talking!" I reminded him that he had asked me a question but wouldn't let me answer. Isn't that hilarious?

I don't know if anything I said will make a difference. I tried to be godly and not say anything to intentionally try to hurt this person. But he is so twisted and mixed up in his thinking who knows how it will all turn out. While I was drained and sad I am sure I did the right thing in standing up for myself and my family. So, I really didn't have the energy to do anything but the bare necessities last night.

Again be encouraged in the fact that you are helping people like me. Keep up the good work. And thank you for your prayers. I am so very grateful for the peace of God that passes understanding.

Blessings

Sleep

One of the most common "Side-effects" of a BodyTalk session is that people sleep very well the night after the session. I've heard it so many times that it seems to be a universal byproduct of sessions. Sometimes people say that they haven't slept that well in YEARS! PRAISE THE LORD FOR THIS MARVEOUS HEALING MODALITY!!!!

I recieved permission from a friend to start sharing her thoughts after her sessions. This is what she wrote after her first session.

Dear Dawn,

I just wanted to say thank you for the session last night. I didn't realize we had been on the phone for over 2 hours!! I was so tired last night I could hardly wait to go to bed. When I did get to bed I slept really well.

This morning I felt better, too. I even got my desk tackled and cleaned today!! Thank you again. It was great to have you help me in that way.

Love,

K.

A Lot Better

This one came from a grandmother who has been paying for her grandson's sessions. After his 8th session, she wrote:

Dawn,

I am sending $90 for xxxxxx. He seems to be doing a lot better. Do the sessions whenever you feel it is the right time..............

Thanks again,

E

This 10-year-old boy has been struggling with ADHD for years. He never smiled and life was very difficult for him. Now he is starting to get along better with others and his grandmother is so pleased. She's been paying for his sessions even when they were living on unemployment. What a wonderful experience it's been for me to make a difference in these lives!

Phenominal

The BodyTalk session I received from Dawn was phenomenal. Her expertise and my receptivity to the potential healing benefits of the process allowed us to touch on many areas of imbalance in my body. Even though I thought I felt fine when we started, there were many imbalances in my body due to a variety of factors including everyday stress, interactions with people, and pollutants in our environment. She corrected so many imbalances that I was thoroughly amazed. And when I left her office, I felt so much better. And I also felt a level of peace and well-being that was very noticeable.

It was one of the best things I have ever done, and I will continue to enjoy the benefits of BodyTalk as often as possible. It is called taking responsibility for our health and well-being.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!
