I’m basically healthy, so why do I need an
energy healing session?
You might ask yourself, how do
I feel physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually? Is every part of your body working at
optimum levels? Do you feel you are
functioning at your very best at all levels?
BodyTalk can be used as the primary treatment for many health problems,
or seamlessly integrated into any health care system to increase its effectiveness and promote faster
healing.
BodyTalk is one of the rare
health care systems that can be classified as totally noninvasive, absolutely
safe, and truly holistic in its approach to reestablishing optimum heath.
BodyTalk can be used to treat people of all ages and even pets and
plants.
Why Do We Need BodyTalk?
The body has built-in mechanisms to initiate the healing
process.
If we cut ourselves, the body immediately sets up a process to start healing
the wound. This occurs at several levels - physical, emotional, mental and
spiritual. Although this is obvious to every one of us, most people do not
fully realize just how wonderful the human body's healing mechanism actually
is.
A problem facing most of us
today is the way our lifestyles interfere with the natural processes of our
bodies.
Most people in society are routinely exposed to:
- Physical stresses including physical injuries
- Emotional
traumas
- Chemical
substances contained in food , water, and air.
- Exposure
to artificial energy fields
that exist within our society
and the electronic devices that we use
on a daily basis.
These factors compromise the communication
networks or energy circuits of the body. It is critical that these systems be
perfectly balanced for the body to effectively coordinate the billions of
synchronized activities per second that are necessary to maintain optimum
health. The body only fails in its job because its communication systems have
been severely compromised through the internal and external stresses of life.
By re-establishing good
communication between the various parts of the body, they once again are able
to "talk" to each other. The body is then capable of healing itself
very rapidly and effectively. Among many complex factors, getting the BRAIN and the BODY to TALK to each other more
efficiently is the key to healing most difficult health issues.
It is critical that the communication networks or energy circuits of the body
be open, as there are billions of synchronized activities that need to take
place every second to keep the body in good health. The body only fails in its
job because its communication systems have been severely compromised through
internal or external stresses of life. In essence, the energy circuits are
'blown' in a similar manner to electrical circuits in our homes that open fuses
or circuit breakers when they are overloaded. By reestablishing good
communication between the various parts of the body, they once again are able
to 'talk' to each other, and the body is then capable of healing itself rapidly
and effectively.
In this manner, BodyTalk is
also a form of prevention. We often find a deep-seated condition that
will not show any symptoms for months or years into the future, yet we can
correct the imbalance today, releasing you from the probability of having
that disease later on. This is especially true for emotional or genetic tendencies
toward cysts, allergies and addictions. We have also located future
dental abscesses, and amalgam fillings that are leaking minute amounts of
mercury into your bloodstream, thus compromising your immune system.
How Will You Know What Is Wrong With
Me?
That is the beauty of BodyTalk.
We don't need to know what is wrong with you! We don't need a diagnosis (possibly
wrong), in order to improve your health. BodyTalk and the innate
wisdom of your being, guides the practitioner to help improve the
communication within yourself. It is not based on how well a person is able to
diagnose what is wrong with you. Your body can heal itself. Your innate wisdom
guides us to help it make the changes necessary so it CAN heal from the inside,
just like the way a cut finger will heal without any external
intervention.
How
Does Body Talk Work?
The Body Talk System works by first identifying the weak energy circuits that
exist within the body. The practitioner uses a form of biofeedback muscle
monitoring to locate these weakened circuits. For every malfunctioning energy
circuit found, either you or your practitioner contacts the corresponding
trigger points with their hands. The Body Talk treatment protocol is
straightforward and does not require a diagnosis. The Body Talk practitioner
relies on the body's innate wisdom to locate energy circuits that need to be
repaired. The practitioner then treats these circuits and the healing process
usually follows quickly.
What type of conditions will benefit from The Body
Talk System?
Arthritis, breathing problems, chronic fatigue, emotional disorders, stress,
headaches, viruses, phobias, pain, menstrual irregularities, parasites, back
pain, learning disorders, infections, sports injuries, allergies, digestive
disorders, and on, and on...
We
have helped people of all ages (and animals and plants, too!), with essentially
every kind of ailment, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. There
appears to be no limit to the applications of BodyTalk, because we are making
corrections at a much higher energy level or dimension than the physical,
one that sets the pattern for the body and its health.
I have an
unusual, incurable (?) (medical, mental, emotional, or
spiritual) condition.
Will BodyTalk
help me, too?
Probably. There are hundreds of factors involved, not just the
outward symptoms. We don't try to mask your symptoms,
we just want to know if your mind/body system is capable of beating the
condition and why it hasn't done so already. All we need to do is to ask
your innate wisdom what the cause is, and why your brain hasn't yet fixed
it. By asking the right questions, we can ascertain the depth of the situation, about how long it will take to correct it, and
whether or not you need to be referred out to another modality such as
acupuncture, chiropractic, surgery, etc. Hopefully you are already
working closely with your primary physician, and we will be glad to cooperate
with him/her.
What
interrupts the body's own healing capabilities?
In today's world, our lifestyles interfere with the body's own healing
capabilities in many ways: physical injuries, physical stresses or incomplete
healing of diseases and traumas; emotional traumas and issues that we
experience from time to time, but cannot process and release effectively
(anger, fear, worry, sadness, grief, guilt or jealousy); chemical substances in
the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe; exposure to artificial
energy fields and the electronic devices we use daily (power plants, overhead
electrical wires, phones, cell phones, pagers, computers, TV's, VCR's, stereo
equipment, microwave ovens, lights, clock radios...)
That depends on how deeply the
condition has set into your body/mind system, how long it's been with you, the
stress levels in your daily life, and many other factors. Some conditions
clear in a few visits, others take more time. We never bring you back on
a regular schedule...your innate wisdom indicates when you will be ready to
receive the next treatment. This is a great way to achieve results
quickly as your body becomes attuned to the system and speeds the process of
using the innate wisdom, brain and heart to balance your whole body.
Sessions usually last between
thirty and ninety minutes, depending on how many changes your body can handle
each time.
Through exposure to the stresses of day-to-day life,
the lines of communications within the body can become compromised. This leads
to a decline in physical, emotional or mental health. BodyTalk is an astonishingly
simple and effective way of re-establishing these lines of communication and
re-synchronizing the body's energy systems. Returning the body's mechanisms to
optimal function can help prevent disease and rapidly accelerate the healing
process. It is impossible to know in advance how much time your system
will need with each session, but the average is about 45 minutes to one hour.
What is
Advanced Applied Kinesiology?
Originally known as
"Muscle Testing" by the doctor who discovered it in the early 1980's,
it was later modified to become a form of applied kinesiology, and then
advanced for use in the BodyTalk System.
A better name would be neuromuscular biofeedback, which allows the
practitioner to calibrate your bodymind system to give YES or NO answers to any
questions concerning your health, by directly interrogating your "innate
wisdom".
Innate Wisdom: This is a kind of intelligence that is deeper than your
sub-conscious mind, yet knows the perfect pattern for your body, mind and
soul. Connecting with this information allows us to learn ANYTHING we
need to know about you that will help you, and move you toward perfect health
at all levels. (While this is not the same as a psychic connection or an
aura reading, the information we use is somewhat similar to that which the late
Edgar Cayce used in his famous health readings. Click here for more
information: http://www.edgarcayce.org/)
In practice, this concept
has the practitioner challenge a muscle (usually by pulling gently on your
wrist) right
after asking a yes-no question, or following the touching of any part of your
body that is holding onto fear, grief or weakness of any kind. As your
BodyTalk Practitioner works through the Protocol designed by Dr. John Veltheim,
your muscles (through your Innate Wisdom) will give a weak response to places
that require rebalancing, repairing of links, or re-synchronization at a
physical, emotional or mental/symbolic level.
Kinesiology in BodyTalk is very gentle and light. Some people say they can
hardly feel the parishioner’s touch. The client gets to lie down on a massage
table during the entire session with their arm (which is being tested) laying by their side.
Linking is a technique that
connects one aspect of the body to another for re-synchronization. The damaged link is found through
kinesiology testing. Although the BodyTalk practitioner can check the integrity
of the links silently via the energy interaction created by any two bodies
being in close communication, s/he is able to connect with your Innate Wisdom
and establish areas that require a link repair.
Link damage can be caused by
hundreds of different physical, mental or emotional traumas, and result in poor
communication between organs, endocrines and body parts. Imagine if your
mouth didn't communicate to your stomach the information that not only is
food on the way down, but it's mostly protein and will require lots of
hydrochloric acid to break it apart? What if the stomach didn't tell the
liver and the gall bladder that a change in the intestinal chemistry will be
required to process the food? And then the spleen and pancreas need
information about the levels of carbohydrates, alcohols, sugars, etc. that are
on the way into the bloodstream so they will know how much insulin, and other
hormones and chemicals need to be provided, and when?
Your BodyTalk practitioner is
very interested in any areas that are not communicating at optimum levels, so
they can be put back into peak efficiency. Some clients have a few links
damaged or broken; others have many, requiring a series of treatments. Your brain may not be able to repair all of
them at the same time, any more than the electric company can repair all the
damage to power lines from a tornado at the same time.
Why do you tap on your clients' heads?
Tapping on the head is an
ancient Hatha Yoga technique that activates the brain into re-evaluating the state of health
with regard to the links being challenged, and creating a process to bring
about healing and repairing the links. It also offers a major boost
to the immune system to clear out infections and viruses, blood chemistry
imbalances, allergies, and many other health-robbing issues.
Tapping was clinically proven to activate the brain when Dr. Veltheim
attached bio-feedback electrodes to the forehead of volunteer clients.
He used his advanced version of applied kinesiology to establish weak
links from information supplied by the client's innate wisdom, made the
required links by gently touching the skin in the required areas, and tapped
gently on the Clients' heads. This lead to a great deal
of unusual brain activity on the biofeedback machine. During his experimentation, he found that
random tapping did not activate the brain, but that tapping done after
establishing the links identified by his clients' Innate Wisdom activated the
brain (evidenced by the large peaks and valleys appearing on the biofeedback
screen).

Why do you then tap on the client's heart/sternum?
Once the tapping is done on
the head, the next step is tap lightly on the sternum over the heart. Dr.
Veltheim found that the treatments wouldn't hold permanently if the tapping was
just done on the head, but that they held if he tapped on the heart directly
after tapping on the head.
Although the tapping technique is not clearly understood, it appears that
tapping on the heart, as an energy center, stores the changes and information
that the brain has reevaluated, and in effect communicates to every cell in the
body via the heartbeat (as an information carrier wave---see the netsite of the
Heart-Math Institute for more information: http://www.heartmath.org/). The information put forward by your
heart then is that your brain is in the process of making an important
improvement, and it is to the mutual benefit of all cells to support that
change. This locks the change into the cell memory of every one of the 70
trillion or so cells in your body.
Through many means, science has discovered that the heart is more complex than
originally thought, particularly in the memories of emotional issues. A good
example of the complexities of the heart is exemplified in the book, A
Change of Heart by Claire Sylvia. She was an older woman, one who had
been a fit and trim dancer and who had never eaten at Kentucky Fried Chicken in
her life. Six weeks after a heart and lung transplant, she drove straight
to KFC and ordered nuggets. She later discovered that the 18-year old who died
and donated his heart (the heart she received) had a fondness for nuggets, and
in fact, had some in his coat pocket at the time of his death from a motorcycle
accident. Other similar experiences have prompted a more in-depth examination
of the complexities of the heart.
Why do you encourage Deep Breathing?
There is a saying in Yoga "perfect
breath, perfect health" and BodyTalk System uses deep breathing to
facilitate this incredible balancing technique.
The Practitioner will often ask you to breathe deeply because breathing is one
of the energy pumps which affects your entire
body. Consider the following as a grossly simplified view of how
your body is designed to keep itself in perfect health. Your brain
creates a "radar-like" scanning signal with each breath that
traverses the acupuncture meridian system and checks for problems and weakened
conditions. The brain then integrates this information with that coming in
via the nervous system, and determines the best course of action.
It then sends the information about how to heal or how to correct the
condition down along the spine and throughout your nervous system to the areas
involved. So the interactions of breathing, meridians and nerves are
designed to keep your body healthy. If any of these are compromised for
any reason, ill health will prevail. A full breath in and out is required
to get a complete scan of all the frequencies involved with your entire complexity
of systems.
Most practitioners charge the equivalent
of US$ 80.00 to US$ 100.00 per hour, worldwide. We prefer to use a system
of donations, as some people are willing and able to donate much more, while
others can only spare less. In the grand scheme of life, all of us are
temporarily rich and temporarily poor at different times, and it's hard to
predict what any of us will be able to afford in the near future. In order to continue to upgrade our training,
ongoing research, and to continue with the overhead of this healing location,
we need to maximize the quantity of donations.
If you can’t spare much money currently for your treatments, please
share your results with others, and feel free to come here often and volunteer
with cleanup, yard and trail maintenance, etc.
We are open to exchange
BodyTalk for other complementary healing modalities, or for cleaning, office
and yard work around this retreat center, or some deferred payment plan that
works for you. We don't take medical insurance, because the insurance
companies have no way of putting you into a diagnostic category and a
treatment plan with BodyTalk, and we don't want any third party telling your innate
wisdom what is best for you. Only you can know what is best for
you in the long run...
Think a moment about the
relative value to you of various things you maintain, such as your house and
your car. How much money do you expect to spend this next year to tune up
your car? How much to tune up your body? Which is expected to last
longer? How much is the maintenance on your home? What is it worth to YOU to feel younger, pain
free, allergy free, and more alive?
