Memories of John

My first encounter with John Veltheim was when he helped my granddaughter Margrit dodge a bullet. As a three year old she was anxious, would stare into space or panic when her mother left the room. Her father had separated them for 8 days when Margrit was 17 months old which caused ongoing stress

I log on here and see the little plants sprouting in the Global Matrix picture...I put some Pumpkin seeds into earth a little while ago, and since a few days, the green plantlings started to appear....green little hearts, just like in the photo on here.... Today is the 5th January, John's birthday

John affected not just me, but my family and pretty much everyone I was close to over the last 2 decades. For more than 20 years, everything meaningful in our lives revolved around John one way or the other. You can see from the clock that it is was almost midnig

Miss me but let me go by Christina Rossetti When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little–but not too long And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me–but let m

Because John was able to travel so much, he was able to teach in multiple languages around the world. I know those who have translated in person for John forged their own special relationship with John, communicating his words for him. I also know how he would sometimes tease his translators implyin

John, how do I begin to thank you for the impact that you have had on my life? Your vision has changed every aspect of my life for the better and continues to do so in my life and in the life of my clients. I will never forget the first time that I heard you speak. Only a few months into my BodyTalk

I am grateful to be part of the BodyTalk community and learn, live, practice, and teach consciousness work. It has been a blessing in my life and a transformation for me, my family, and so many others who have been cherishing the gifts of BodyTalk as clients, students, instructors and professionals

My deepest condolences to Esther and John's family and friends. I came to BodyTalk in 2003 through Gilly Atkins, who was the sister of an old friend in London. You could say it was in the stars - one of those meetings that changes your life. Subsequently had BT sessions for allergies that disappeare

I just wanna share that he was like a rock a cornerstone even for someone like me who met him just a few times, so open-hearted, loving, solid, larger than life, wise, full of life and laughter. Here we were in the UK, he was a big soccer fan and he was teasing me in the second pic on Italy vs Austr

BodyTalk came charging into my life in 2002 when 5'11 Dr. Marita Kufe was doing a BT intro night in Grand Cayman. What I heard before the coffee break had me walk up to her and say, "how can I learn and then teach this?".. I had already been in the natural health care arena for 20+ years. I then cou

John was my greatest teacher. Over the 2 weeks prior to John's passing, I'd been re-listening to "The Soul's Journey" and feeling how impactful that particular course was for me, as were so many of his courses. The day John passed, my internet went out and has been out until a couple of days ago.

When I got the news of John’s passing, I was in shock and in tears. I was unable to write anything, as I found expressing the profound impact that John has had on my life unfathomable, until now. I discovered BodyTalk, a consciousness and heart-based energy medicine modality, in 2005 - one year af

Unknown to me at the time, in the weeks leading up to John's passing, I had this overwhelming sense of gratitude and how privileged I am to have learnt BodyTalk and be able to use it everyday of my life. To then read of John's passing was an absolute shock to me and I was in disbelief. Reflecting

I just finished watching the beautiful video memorial. Thank you to all who initiated, participated and made that happened. BodyTalk has impacted my life in profound ways, and I appreciate so much John's insights, passion, and dedication and his willingness to share what he was learning with whoeve

Writing anything much can't possibly capture the huge wonderful mix of emotions, thoughts, and memories I have about the great big role you played in my life. As you said when we first met, "I know you! We've been together before!" My sentiments exactly. And I have little doubt we will be together a

I’ve been so lost for words. How do you honour John? Honour the grieving process? Honour our beautiful matrix of people who have become so dear to my life… and all because of John. I’m taken back to my very first connection to this beautiful system, seven years before I actually found it. I had a d

Regretfully I didn't take all the opportunities to learn from John in person, but did have a couple of chances so for that small gift I am so thankful. For the greater gift of your co founding of The BodyTalk System with Esther and wisdom you brought to the world that has changed my life and countl

I was privileged to be in a class with John in December 2019. I am just grateful for that time and for all he did for the world.

I started my Bodytalk journey in 2003, became certified and completed all advanced modules before I met John That same year. I was so excited to be able to meet him and the opportunity came when he was to do a public talk in San Francisco. During the talk, John gave his analogy of a colonics comp

To say John made an impact on my life would be a great understatement. Words cannot express the magnitude of positive change & quantum shift that was catalyzed the day I became entangled in his personal field and his work The BodyTalk System. I signed up for Fundamentals on a whim of inspiration af

My struggle with allowing the masculine in my life has always been reflected in my perception of John. I feel a new peace with that struggle now, blossoming as I relive a dream I had with him a few days after his death. We (John, myself, and others) were in a cabin in the mountains. A storm was com

I was unable to attend the Memorial for John; however, I attended the recording of it. Listening to Esther reference John's sense of humour, I'm sharing a memory that still makes me laugh when I think about it, and I imagine it may have the same effect for those who were in John's 2006 Right Brain

Thank you to John, for sharing his vision , knowledge and passion with the world, leaving behind an incredible legacy and touching lives and generations forever! I am inspired by his dedication to serve, courage to challenge, trailblazing and contribution to the world of complementary healthcare. T

Yesterday (3/12/22) a group of us gathered under this beautiful tree in Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens (Cape Town SA) to reflect on John's life and to offer love and gratitude for his gift of BodyTalk to us and the whole world. Rest in Peace dear John ~ forever thankful xxx Sandy, Henk,

Dearest Esther and John, I’m so glad you were together during this challenging transition for John and all his loved ones. You and the IBA community are a light to us all and I’m so sorry for losing John’s physical presence. You and John were and are a dynamic pair and we all thank you for sharin

The day John passed, I had been suddenly thinking how it might be nice to actually have a BT session with John, that I was not as scared of the idea that I had previously thought. As a founder, it used to seem out of reach, mentally to interact with such a higher up. Interesting as that thought (b

Soar on John! It has been an honor to have spent so many years in this magical BodyTalk matrix with you. Larger than life and Large as Life. Thankyou for your generous sharing of knowledge and wisdom. One of John's greatest gifts was bringing us together. It is through BodyTalk that I ha

Thank you John for bringing Bodytalk to South Africa where I lived with my young family In 2002. You opened my eyes to my very British conditioning and were even pulling my leg about my roots in a session a couple of months ago! Forever grateful for the part you played in starting me on a life chang

First I was a witness to BodyTalk when my daughter was treated 15 years ago. Then I became a student and took a couple of classes each year. My kids benefited. The dog did too. I benefited the most. Now I have a clinical practice and continue to learn more about BodyTalk every single day. It
