Hello,
my name is Bernadette O’Donnell. It
is my pleasure to welcome you to this webpage which will help
you to understand my quest and drive to provide unique variety
of services by my company.
Let me tell you about myself.
My first love is psychology. I taught children a program
called Project Self Esteem for 5 years. The program was founded
by teachers with various issues in the class, like feeling good
about yourself, dealing with anger, communicating and memory
games. My favorite lessons were recognizing a bully, which
led me to point out how much the bully didn’t like himself.
The children also loved the anger management techniques, like writing
everything down you are mad about, and ripping it up!
My second love is health. Life pushed me right into it powerfully
when I went code blue in the emergency room due to a reaction
to antibiotics. My electrolytes dropped and I reacted with
a grand mal seizure. I went into a
coma for 3 days. I
couldn’t feel my body, just light and love all around me. I
was surrounded by many but couldn’t make out any faces. After
3 days of heaven I was sent back; after all I had 4 children.
One which was only 2 months old and her name happened to be Hope. I
got out of the hospital and felt debilitated. I
had to get stronger.
I had broken two lumbars in my back and had trouble breathing. When
my accountant did my taxes she asked me to come to a Healing Circle. I said anything
that could help me heal faster. It brought up a lot of healing in my back and other areas
of my life. It was helping me to know myself in a deeper
level, understand my emotions, create wellness in my body
and mind. Now I hold monthly healing circles which include
guided imagery, and relaxation techniques.
I was given a
book by Louise Hay called, You Can Heal Your Life. She
believes that disease can be healed, if we are willing to
change the way we think, believe and act. She gives problems
in her book like headache, backache, neck problems, and
points out a probable cause with a new thought pattern. I
became intrigued with this and started to look at my own
body whenever I had an issue. Another
book called Feelings Buried Alive by Karol
Truman seemed to go
into a deeper sense of the probable causes. I began to notice
frustration and other feelings that made
sense to me in listening to my body.
While getting a Massage I would question why some parts
of my body would be sensitive, ache or have pain. Memories
would come up as I relaxed and healing would happen.
I
realized that my body carries extreme intelligence and I could
be conscious or unconscious of it. Being unconscious can be pretty abrupt
when you ignore your body.
I explored my emotions. I noticed when I would laugh my
body felt good. One time I was conscious of my body releasing
a whole bunch of anger coming out from my stomach, up my throat
and up to the ceiling. I had gotten angry in the morning
but later started belly laughing. I felt a rush of heavy energy
leave my body as I laughed. I felt totally relieved and
free again.
- When I have fear it seats either in my chest, stomach,
or below my belly button.
I start having lymph issues,
stomach indigestion or intestinal problems.
- When I have joy I feel free flowing and peaceful in my
body. Everyone
around me benefits.
- When I have anger or frustration, my head seems to tighten
with my jaw, my blood contracts, my body tenses. How
uncomfortable for the body.
So I know the more I strive for peace and joy in my life the
more my body responds with happiness of good lymph, easy elimination,
relaxed healthy blood flow, good digestion and harmony in my
body.
I noticed that
my body is an amazing tool that changes chemistry as my thinking
changes.
The
more I noticed any grievances, irritation or un comfortableness
I would have, I could say, “ Oh
here is an opportunity to heal.”
Being gentle and loving to my body pays big dividends.
