Doing BodyTalk is amazing. It's changed everything about me. My mom taught me about BodyTalk. She decided to be a practitioner and I'm happy for her. I'm excited to do it on my mom and she taught me cool things about it.
I also enjoy the five senses — it was like, wow! It felt amazing to think about about those, you need those! To hear better and see better, its moving.
I feel alive inside when I tap out. I breathe when I'm tapping, I get in to it because it's fun. Tapping the other person changes how they feel — sometimes they get really tired. I like watching their response. When I'm working, it just feels natural to be me. I notice that in my hands and in my heart. I listen in to everything in my body to know how this works, how everything relates.
To know when I'm done, I listen to my heart. My hands just stop and I know I'm done.
When I do BodyTalk, I feel like a better person. I just feel comfortable. It releases my stress, because I feel really stressed a lot, my whole life. It just feels awesome, then to be out there and help other people out there in their challenges from stress and painfulness.
One of these days, I'll be a practitioner. I don't want to be a full time practitioner though. Just part time.
BodyTalk feels more awake to me, almost like awakening. It connects me with my inner self. I just feel like a whole new person inside of me.
I'm going to frame my certificate, put it in my room so I can see it and so if anyone comes over, they can take a look at it and say, "Wow! I'm so proud of you. Good job. I'm excited."
Next, I want to know about the Chinese Clock, the Elements. I'm curious about metal, earth, fire and water.
All the people who teach the classes, they do a fantastic job of helping me to know about new stuff that I never got before. And the new friends I make, they're excellent to explore BodyTalk with. I'm proud to be a BodyTalker.
