I have followed your column on Meridian Magazine now for some time. I appreciate your thoughtful comment that speak to the heart and soul when one is seeking to sustain and mend their most inner self. I have printed off copies of your column and taken them to people I know need to hear and want to hear something that will help them. I recently moved to Utah. I am hoping to hear you speak in person. I know that my stake president has a policy of not inviting people outside of the stake to speak. So I hope that you could tell me some place that I could go to listen to you in person. Thank you so much!

Dear Br. Barkdull:

I live in the DC area and have recently discovered, greatly enjoyed, and been spiritually lifted by a number of your writings on Meridian. I read the difficult account of your son’s experience today, and on the basis of your beliefs as detailed in your columns, I believe you — and in particular, your son, would find great value in a particular stress management technique based entirely on restored gospel principles that I have seen work health miracles of all kinds. It efficiently, effectively, almost instantaneously and very inexpensively pinpoints and eliminates many if not all of the causes of poor health. I know that sounds ridiculous and grandiose, but I have experienced it firsthand myself (infertility), as has my husband (cancer), and many others I have referred. It is known as the Graf Technique and was developed by Jan Graf of St. George, UT (GrafStressManagement.com). He engages in no advertising or self-promotion, and the website itself is utterly low-key, but the technique is without a doubt THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. I believe it was revealed for these stressful times to help people be at peace in these tumultuous final days. Thank you for your wonderful insights on becoming Zion people, and I wish all good things for your family. Sincerely, Elizabeth Cardon Richardson
