For over 20 years I have been working to bring healing to more and more people. Through massage and then chiropractic including Activator Methods Technique, Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique, chakra balancing, affirmations and Emotional Freedom Technique. I now have a great opportunity to go further.
I have been approved by my Friends meeting ,West Branch Friends Church, to go to Belize on a healing mission to the Friends Boys School from April 13-20. I will be teaching health care classes and delivering health care to the family that runs the school, the students and their families.
Belize is a very small country that has just celebrated their 28th year of independence located between Guatemala and the Caribbean Sea. It is just south of the Yucatan peninsula. The country is mostly primitive and very beautiful. It is scattered with Mayan ruins. Belize has a variety of wildlife both from the jungle and the sea. It boasts the second largest coral reef in the world.
In Belize the children in 8th grade take a test and if they don't pass they don't get to go on to high school. The Friends Boys School was founded to help the boys that are in the most need to get them ready for the test.
The couple that is now running the school is from Iowa and have 4 children ranging in age from 7 years to 16 years old.
Two assistants are accompanying me. Sophia Aley, a practice member whose story you may have read in an earlier blog and Betsy English, my bonus daughter, who has grown up receiving chiropractic care. We are so excited to bring B.E.S.T. to Belize!
So I am asking for your help to create this mission. We need to raise $3450. This includes our airfare, transportation while in Belize, food and lodging. We plan to work with the school from April 13th -20th with a couple of days at the end for seeing the Mayan ruins and the coral reef.

These words of Jesus have been the foundation for my practice:
John 14:12-14 from The Message
"The person who trusts me will not only do what I'm doing but even greater things, because I, on my way to the Father am giving you the same work to do that I've been doing. You can count on it. From now on, whatever you request along the lines of who I am and what I am doing, I'll do it. That's how the Father will be seen for who he is in the Son. I mean it. Whatever you request in this way, I'll do it."
The moon helps create the ebb and flow of the tides and our circadian rhythms. Let us be thankful that all is well and that the earth continues to spin in perfect balance.
What are you looking to expand, let go of, release and allow in the year to come?
Exclaim it. Affirm it. Feel the feeling of having it already. Imagine you are totally there. If you but believe and have faith, which personally, I find miraculous, you can move mountains.
And we spin around the sun for another year! Like the top that never stops whirring. Ask me to see the water gyroscope next time you stop in. It's cool.
Thank you, Gracias, Merci, Danke, Parakalo, and Happy and Prosperous New Year.
It used to take Sophia two or more hours to fall asleep and then she rarely slept more than two to three hours consecutively. When she answered the question how long has it been since you felt really well, she wrote, "This question makes me cry...". Sophia wrote in the margins of the intake form: "What does relief feel like??!"
She tried to use drugs or "spirit killers", as she called them, prescription and over the counter to no avail for years. Sophia had extreme constant tension in her upper back and right shoulder and chronic low back pain.
But Sophia had one other challenge that she told me about that was really curious. She had no sight in her left eye and there was no physiological reason for it. None. Her eye had no reason not to see. When she was three years old her parents noticed that her left eye was "lazy". In an effort to correct this they had patched her good eye for one year which did nothing to help.Sophia slowly lost her left eye vision over the next year. She had no depth perception and could not see anything in 3D or Magic Eye posters. You need to have two eyes for those experiences.
For years her neck worked to guard her left side and was like armor that was impenetrable. Massage did little to help her and she had constant neck pain and spasms.
As we started working it was clear to me that her problems all stemmed from subconscious emotional memory override. The fact that there were no lesions or physical traumas causing the blindness was a big clue. So we used Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.), Emotional Freedom Technique (E.F.T.) and other techniques to neutralize any interference in her subconscious that was recreating the physiology of blindness in the left eye and other symptoms.
During the second visit she told me that she had had some double vision since the last visit and that it was very disorienting. I was ecstatic because this meant her vision was returning!
Part of what needed to happen was that she needed to forgive herself for not being able, at three years of age, to tell the adults what she knew was true - that it was not her body that was failing her but her mind that was shutting off her vision. The innate intelligence that she connected with as a child was not recognized by the adults in her life. Forgiveness for herself and the adults was a crucial part of her healing.
At another visit I intuited that in fact her vision was going to return the same way it had gone away. Sophia would begin seeing shadows and double vision and also probably some headaches. These headaches were not a bad sign but rather an indicator that the brain was rewiring how she was going to see fully again! Sophia came in today having enjoyed a 3D movie last night! She saw everything and perfectly!
She has flexibility in her neck and she is happier than ever. Her relationships are meaningful again and she is filled with love and forgiveness. Her pain is non-existent and she sleeps sometimes 12 hours at a whack! (she's catching up!).
This is no joke. It's real. Sophia wanted me to use her real name because she wants to help others heal too.How do you get healing like this in your life? Be open. Be brave (which means being afraid and doing it anyway). Allow it to come from wherever and leave your ego behind. Receive.

How are you showing the Love to yourself, your family and your world? Are you being nice to yourself? Or are you filled with negative self talk about how you should or shouldn't do this or that? Would you say those things to your best friend or to an acquaintance you'd like to know better? If the answer is no consider redirecting your self-talk to reflect your love for yourself first. The golden rule, Love others as you love yourself, means you are going to have practice loving yourself.
I have a quote from the Red Green show on my Facebook page right now: "If you`re looking for the perfect low-cost Christmas present for your relatives, try giving them each a little slack. With any luck, they`ll re-gift it."Try this with yourself too. Cut yourself a little slack and try accepting yourself as the miracle of divine love that you are. You are loved and you matter!
One of the first things I give a new practice member is the Forgiveness Exercise.
Forgiveness can clear so much rubbish from your life. Forgiveness does not mean that you are condoning the incident that happened. It means that you are breaking free of the negativity that keeps you bound energetically/spiritually to the person who caused you the harm, even if it was you! You can achieve forgiveness doing this exercise. You can begin healing doing forgiveness.
A grudge holds you in a negative thought and keeps hammering away at you whenever it comes up. So you can be having a great old time and someone brings up something that reminds you of the incident then you have to remember how mad, hurt, upset you were and here it comes all over again. Who needs it!?
Try this: next time something reminds you of the incident you can say to yourself
"That is in the past. I am living in the now. I forgive myself, the others involved and I wish them well. I am thankful for the lessons I've learned because of that and so it is!"
10. How do you know that's as good as you can feel?
9. You are annoyed by just about everything.
8. You have obvious symptoms that your body is trying to be in healing mode but not quite getting there.
7. You just heard some bad news and felt a little power drain.
6. You started a new exercise routine.
5. If you're a baby you were just born, just held your head up for the first time, just rolled over for the first time, just crawled for the first time, just walked for the first time (all of these milestones create your the curves in your spine !)
4. You are "handling" stress.
3. Thoughts from your past keep popping up.
2. You are ready to make a change in your life to access more of your personal power.
And the #1 reason to get cleared with B.E.S.T. is....
1. You want to experience full blown life force everyday of your life!
Now I say cleared with B.E.S.T. however this also means adjusted and we use many techniques that can get the job done. We want to go through the open doors not keep banging on the closed doors and make the body/mind/spirit try to do something it's not ready for.
