The Joy of Teaching Just Touch
By: Barbara Viola, Instructor; Cleveland Ohio

How can you multiply your love of neighbor, heighten your self-awareness, participate more fully in the healing of yourself and others and still "Just Touch"?

I found personal resolution to this self-awareness dilemma by becoming involved in the Instructor Program (IP). Having recently completed the training I wanted very much to have the opportunity to share my experience with as many Certified Practitioners as possible. In fact I would like to include ALL others interested in touching others with Bio-Magnetic Touch Healing^TM (BMTH) in this privileged arrangement.

As you practice BMTH your self-awareness may prompt a similar response within you. It has been my experience that the IP sponsored by the Foundation qualifies the CP to train others to be effective, self-aware practitioners. At the same time, and equally as important, it refines the one teaching.

Why do I make this statement and how is this accomplished? Let me explain.

First as I prepared to present BMTH in an educational setting I found myself reshaping and simplifying explanations. Basic wording of the manual and repeated viewing of the video certainly enhanced and refined my application of the technique. In addition I learned about many new aspects concerning how I related to others involved in this process and how they related to me.

What a difference there is in the person we think we are compared to the one we present to others! What a dichotomy exists between that person and the one we really are!

Am I saying the Instructor Program will give you this insight? Yes. No. Maybe. You can each decide this for yourself once you participate. But be prepared for heightened awareness. The program is an extension of "Just Touch," and unique bonds are forged between you, as the instructor, and the students. Be prepared for increased respect for the simplicity of the technique. Be prepared to appreciate more fully the powerful impact of your gentle touch.

Think of the IP as a door that opens to a place of greater activity. It can be a vehicle to new personal growth, new skills, an additional dimension of your love of neighbor.

Think of the IP as a window that allows you to see beyond the basic aspect of your environment. It may foster a deeper appreciation for how you relate to the Art, Science and Spirit of BMTH.

You won't be alone in your efforts. The "Tod Squad" is there to encourage and assist you in your training. In order to support your decision to extend your abilities, the Foundation has created many avenues of assistance.

The IP has been an opportunity for me to increase my self-awareness, develop my skill and expand my concept for the future of this healing technique.

Some of you may feel that this educational opportunity is not for you at this time. Some may never have an interest in being an instructor. Others will be motivated to walk through this door and participate. Either choice is acceptable; every person knows what his or her personal course should be.

So many of you have helped me to grow in my self-awareness. I hope that I have served you, my neighbor, in the same way.

Whatever your response, know that my intention is to share my personal experience in the hope that others may benefit from it. Most importantly, thank you for sharing so much of yourselves with me. You are one of a kind. BVatbmth@aol.com
