BodyTalk

On the weekend I went to a BodyTalk, Modules 1&2 course. This modality blows my mind! BodyTalk is a health care system that helps pain and stress. It resets the nervous system by means of neuromuscular feedback. It is non intrusive and doesn’t interfere with any medicines.

At the class, we were a group of women coming together to learn about this unfamiliar science and maybe a bit about ourselves too. Even though each of us has a different story, we all have the desire to learn an alternative way of helping our bodies, and that of others, to become balanced. Some of the techniques brought out a lot of emotion and a few of the ladies were able to let the tears flow at will. As I watched this, I found myself envying their ability to open up like that.

The energy in the room was daunting! A group of ladies showing the courage it takes to look inside of ourselves and to take the steps to grow. We were in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing for ourselves. Many times throughout the weekend I had to stop, and say quietly to myself, “Thank you for the healing.”

The last day of class I found myself feeling emotional (of course, trying not to show it!) when it was time to say good by to the women who were total strangers to me just a few short days before. As I walked out of the class, I had a strong feeling of “leaving the nest” for the very first time but I know the insecurities I feel about my role as a BodyTalk practitioner will fade with experience. I left there with a new found respect for myself and a strong gratitude for the miracle of my body and my mind.

As I continue on my path of healing I wonder what is in store for me tomorrow. My search for good health has brought so many amazing people into my life and I’m very excited about what’s next. I look forward to a long and prosperous future.

Until next time, take care.
