Interview With Dominique Bourlet As Part Of The 20 Questions Series: People Making A Difference
Finally the video and audio excerpts of the interview with Dominique Bourlet are ready!!
Dominique is a healer, author, public speaker and one fascinating individual who has spent the last few years honing his craft of healing including spiritual healing. This interview was held in October 2009 as part of the 20 Questions series in the upcoming book ‘People Making a Difference’.
This short excerpt describes his own ASIFU technique which stands for Asian Fusion Therapeutic Massage. It is Dominique’s dream to teach people how to heal their loved ones via this technique which is essentially a cross between acupressure and massage. Of course, that is putting it so simplistically. For ailments that are not responding as quickly to the healing he has a complimentary method called ‘Hello BOP’. You will need to listen to the interview in full for this one – as it is quite unique in it’s composition.
I have also had a healing session with Dominique and was astounded by the results. When we are to have the opportunity I will be very keen to undertake his short training course to heal others!
The full interview covers various topics including the launch last year of his book which in French is “Prier avec les guérisseurs philippins” or in English “Pray with the Filipino Healers”. The English translation will be available soon. It briefly touches on Dominique’s own story of how he went from a successful business man to horse whisperer to world renowned healer. Dominique is unique not only with his background and choice of lifestyle traveling between France, Germany, and Asia regularly, studying many Eastern methods of healing especially spiritual healing and even psychic surgery but he is also fun to talk with!
The full interview with transcript will be available later this year.

writing… what do I love about it
To many people wirting is not nice! To others it is therapy or sunshine on a rainy day.
For me I write for many different purposes:
on a professional level:
I love to work with a group of people for a common goal and bring together the different aspects waiting to be realised. Often this has been via funding submissions for particular projects with a capacity building focus in the areas of heritage, culture, arts, educational, sporting and recreational. Of course each of these has an aspect of bringing together different parts of the community and empowering minority groups such as Aboriginal people, women, or migrant groups.
Other professional writing projects I really enjoy are much smaller and could even be interviewing and writing articles about topics of interest for certain groups of people. Over recent years this has most regularly been for business and economic development. Soon I aim to complete at least one e-book on a series of interviews for expat business people on the island of Bali.
On a personal level I sometimes use it for therapy or to record details such as with journalling which I highly recommend. Especially when I cannot sleep or I am too busy or both, journalling is fantastic to work out how I feel about things in my life or to de-clutter or prioritise.
Putting pen to paper or these days more often fingers to the keyboard has definite benefits!
writing and editing
ready for writing in the next phase of life in 2009
Why does this blog concentrate mainly on writing and editing?
I have always loved writing however it has not always come easily. I have been to university a few times – and even finished a couple of times!! One course I even repeated – teaching. What each of these experiences taught me was the value of working smarter not harder – especially regarding study/research and the writing process (which of course includes editing).
If you find writing and editing a hassle and want someone who has over twenty years experience and really enjoys it, then why not outsource?
