The Principles Behind BodyTalk
The basic premises underlying the BodyTalk System constitute a new paradigm
for synchronizing and balancing the body/mind.
BodyTalk is based upon the principle that our state of health is
determined by the level of synchronicity of all energetic functions that constitute the body/mind. There are billions of synchronized
activities that need to take place every second to keep the body in good health - at biochemical (physiological), emotional
and mental levels. Environmental, hereditary and genetic influences at the cellular level also need to be taken into consideration.
The body is a complex ecosystem involving a delicate balance between all of these interactions and everything needs to be
synchronized into a cohesive whole. When any of these activities become unsynchronized, primarily through exposure to the
physical and emotional stresses of day-to-day life and our environment, we begin to experience distress, disease and illness.
Until now, the majority of health care systems have tended to take a Cartesian approach and have focused on isolated
parts of the bodymind equation. By understanding the parts, it is hoped that the whole will be understood. By treating the
parts, it is hoped that the whole will heal itself. As many of us know, this approach does not work.
The BodyTalk
System recognizes that within each of us there lies the innate knowing of what we need in order to function effectively.
BodyTalk has been designed to access and mobilize a person's innate healing ability by identifying where the imbalances
in the bodymind complex are and re-establishing a communication between those affected parts. Once the links have been made
and "tapped out," an energy shift occurs that leads to resynchronization, restoring balance in the bodymind and
thereby restoring health as well. Since each individual is unique, the links required to balance each individual will also
be unique - even in situations where the presenting symptoms are the same.
The client's innate wisdom guides
the BodyTalk Practitioner to find the unique imbalances that exist in his/her body and the order in which the imbalances need
to be addressed - that is, the innate wisdom sets the priorities. Therefore, no diagnosis is required.
BodyTalk Treatments
Communication with the innate wisdom is established using a version of neuromuscular biofeedback. Once the body's innate
wisdom has been trained to provide "yes" and "no" responses, a systematic line of questioning or protocol
is followed.
Treatment consists of touching the areas identified by the innate wisdom as requiring balancing and
tapping out over the head and then the heart.
The BodyTalk Practitioner reconnects the communication by touching the
areas that are not communicating, or not communicating as well as could be, (this is waking up the body to the fact there
is something to do, something to fix. It is similar to how you are now prior to reading on: you were not aware of the clothes
on your back, or the seat under you, however when they are brought to your attention, you are. We are bringing these areas
that are not communicating, to the body's attention, by touching the areas.
The gentle tapping over both halves of
the brain alerts the person's brain that there are corrections to be made. Tapping the heart energy complex integrates
the correction into the body's memory banks. This is literally stimulating the body to heal itself and keeping those changes
permanent. The healing through BodyTalk, therefore, is at a deep and lasting level. Once the communications systems
of the body have been reestablished and the body/mind complex synchronized, the body is more capable of healing itself.
The BodyTalk Practitioner does not prescribe drugs or supplements or use invasive techniques or do anything that can cause
harm to the body (a wet Q-tip in the navel is as close as it ever gets to being "invasive"!).
Of course, there
are times when natural healing is not enough. In emergencies such as a car accident or a heart attack, where the body is in
crisis, skilled medical interventions are required.
