Good morning. Humanity. It is February 20th, 2023 and it’s the favorite time of our week, because it’s Mondays with Bev and Paul. Hi, everybody. My name is Paul.
Bev
Good morning. This is Bev.
Paul
And it is February 20th. It is Presidents Day and we want to honor the President of the International Foundation of Bio-Magnetics, Bev Wood.
It’s your day.
Bev
It’s my day.
Paul
We tried to send you flowers, but I don’t think they have a florist Tombstone. So. I could send you some tumbleweeds.
Bev
There are plenty of those on the road.
Paul
Yes, we really do honor you. We thank you for taking the foundation all these years in a direction that’s clear. Rallying people to help with the board and you’ve just done an awesome job. So thank you.
Bev
Thank you, Paul. Well, I’m honored to work with you, of course. My goodness, I wouldn’t be doing this if you hadn’t asked me.
Paul
Yeah, you’ve been pushed into it.
Bev
Yeah, you did that a lot too. It’s been wonderful.
Paul
We are going to hit the hot topic called energy. I was inspired by one of our practitioners trying to talk about Bio Touch and everybody kept asking her well, is it an energy modality? She was like, well, the standard line is they don’t talk about it as energy. Did a big wink. I thought it was sort of cute. So we’re going to talk about this whole concept of energy healing and how Bio-Touch relates to that concept. And I think we need to use it as a concept right now. One of the great research specialist, Larry Dossey, wrote that the word energy being used by healers and massage therapist is a nice word, but it’s just a word that has a matter of convenience because we don’t really understand what energy is. So that’s why we don’t really use that word that Bio Touch is an “energy” modality.
Bev
Well, you know what? Let’s go all the way back to what happens with the body when it is in a state of, you know, disease or imbalance, whatever you want to call it. OK, the body is under duress. What is the best way for that body to come into a wholeness is to be in a state of neutrality. OK, not thinking this, not doing that, not having these concepts or whatever. This is why Bio Touch is here and is really important because with so many modalities practitioners already have a concept of what they think is going to happen to that body, and they’re using different processes and combining things. What we maintain is a point of neutrality in everything that we speak and everything that we are here to give to everyone so that they can make their own choices. If we step in and start calling Bio-Touch an energy modality or saying that we’re moving energy, we have just defeated and gotten in the way of what our purpose is here. Every single person, every human being is capable of practicing receiving and giving bio touch.
Paul
Right.
Bev
That is one thing that we know, and this is why we don’t speak those buzzwords. One of them is energy. We don’t speak it because most of humanity doesn’t speak like that anyway. Bio-Touch is, for the layman, it’s not for, you know, a specific group of people. It’s just a word.
Paul
There’s another word used, it is biofield therapies. The National Institute of Health, and you know, for a long time, that’s about the only thing they could put bio touch into because it wasn’t a manipulation technique, it wasn’t using herbs, it wasn’t using a projection. And so that’s what people started to call Bio-Touch because there was nothing else to call it. But we’ve made great effort not to put it into some little box because again, as Bev was just saying, we want everybody to define it the way it works for them.
Bev
Right.
Paul
And if energy works for you, that’s great. Some people call it spiritual. It reminds me I had this discussion with this guy once, and he was explaining to me about Bio touch energetically, what it does, how it moves this and that, and how you had to have an intention and he went on and on and on. And I listened to him, as I do with anyone. Then when he was done, I went well, that’s really interesting. But you know something? Bio-Touch is just about simple love. And he turns to me and he goes well, you know, when you’re talking at that level of love, nothing really matters.
Bev
Yeah, exactly.
Paul
So it really is nice not to have to project to figure it out or understand any concepts. We are just because sentient beings. All we need to understand is touch.
Bev
Right.
Paul
Touch to the face, a little hand, on the shoulder. if your baby falls and hurts itself what do you? You hold it, you know?
Bev
Well, you know, people who are in these different healing fields have their intention. We don’t use that word either, but their intention is to help. But here, here’s the situation. I have said it before, well, a lot of this is putting new wine into an old bottle. They are still having a perception of you’re coming to me. I’m going to manipulate something and I’m the healer and you’re the one being healed. What did we say last show? If you think that you have to fix somebody, you’ve already thought that they’re broken. So one of the main reasons why we hold very strongly to not putting those things out there is because we know, and everybody knows, that the power of healing is in that body already. And this is what I love about Bio-Touch, it encourages that self-healing. Now that healing takes two people. That’s a very potent process right there because it forces 2 human beings to come into a rapport with each other giving and receiving in that moment. Years ago, at a workshop, there was a couple of massage therapists. They worked with each other of course and they both said to each other, “How is that for you? Did I do enough for you? How do you feel?” They wanted to know if they could I have done more and on and on. It was an awareness for me because I said, “You know it’s really interesting for me to hear you say those things. Because you’ve already doubted yourself. That you didn’t do enough or you need to have that feedback that I did everything right for you.” I said, “With Bio Touch, there’s no language required. You just reach out and you just do bio touch and touch that person lightly on the skin with love. You trust that their body knows what to do. You don’t have to put any pressure on yourself. Oh my God, did I do this enough and well, I hope that works.”
They both looked at me and said, “Wow, that’s a sense of liberation. We neve really thought about what happens in healing. Let it go. Just touch.”
Paul
Just touch. That’s what we’re trying to share with people. That’s the simplicity of it. That’s why we’re talking about bio touch and energy healing modalities. It’s nice that people are talking in those terms. It’s nice that people are saying, hey, there’s other options here in our health and healing. I always remember the young man who was in a coma. We had worked with him for years and when we went into the hospital when he was in Hospice and we would do the greeting on him there was no intention. We would just to do the greeting, not trying to heal him or anything like that. Each time he would always sigh. Never would he do that with any of the other techniques, and he did a lot of energy work. He did a lot of prayer work. And his wife, at the memorial, said to us, you know, out of all the techniques we did, bio touch was the one technique that brought us hope. And it’s just so touching and so powerful because that is what touching another human being is all about. It gives us hope. Hope that it’s going to be OK. Whatever I choose to do.
Hope that my relationship is going to be OK, my choices in my life are going to be OK. The things I eat are going to be OK. The Doctor that I find, the energy therapist I find, the massage therapis I find. I’m always going to find what I need. And Bio-Touch seems to always open that door to allow people to know what they need to do and give them the courage to act on it. That’s a powerful part. And so if we want to call that energy, whatever, thought, consciousness, I mean looking up all this stuff about energy, if you look it up online, energy work consciousness it’s very complicated. I mean, I went into a rabbit hole yesterday looking it up. I finally realized that I’m so grateful that we do something that really is simply just touch.
Bev
But you don’t have to get wrapped up in all of that jargon and figuring out. What I’m doing? Why am I doing it? Where is it coming from? Where is it going?
Paul
And I don’t have to be giving it. I don’t have to be initiated. I don’t have to have spirit. You know it. We’ve heard things that the more spiritual you are the better energy healer you are. None of that is involved with bio Touch. Our goal is to get this to the masses of people. And give them something they can do immediately. That’s our goal.
