"The body has an innate wisdom which, when
allowed, can heal the body at all levels" – Dr. John Veltheim
Is BodyTalk Safe?
Yes! It is, it was, and it always has been...
Actually, The BodyTalk System
has been practiced in many parts of the world since the mid 1990's, using
ancient Hatha yoga procedures involving only holding points, light tapping, and
breathing. There are thousands of BodyTalk practitioners using this system on a
regular basis, many of them medical doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists,
massage therapists, and other licensed professional healers. No one has
ever been injured or had any condition made worse during a BodyTalk treatment.
The concept is that during a BodyTalk balancing session, your brain stays in
control of the actual healing, and your brain is programmed to protect your
body from harm. In all cases, this treatment system has proved
to be a totally safe form of harmonious energy balancing.
The reason the system is so
safe is that a BodyTalk treatment only involves rebalancing energy systems
throughout the body. There are no invasive procedures involved, nothing to swallow,
cut or inject. No needles, no deep manipulations, no drugs, nothing you have to
buy and ingest.
BodyTalk involves
questioning the innate intelligence of the client's body prior to
treatment. The BodyTalk practitioner is always aware of what the client’s body
can safely deal with at any particular time. By virtue of the BodyTalk
treatment protocol, the human body will not allow the practitioner to treat it
for a condition unless it is perfectly safe to do so.
On rare occasions some healing
symptoms may occur in special cases. For example, you may feel highly
energized, or sometimes feel unusually tired and in need of a rest, or wanting
to take a walk in the woods, or needing to drink more water. If your body is
ridding itself of a virus, flu-like symptoms may occur until the process is
complete. These symptoms are always quite brief.
Symptoms could also appear for
a short time after treating parasites, toxins, and emotional releases. Finally,
for diabetics currently using insulin, insulin levels will need to be monitored
more closely for a few days, as you may need less of it after a few BodyTalk
treatments. Such clients are requested to keep in close contact with
their medical doctors following each balancing. BodyTalk practitioners know to
never treat blood sugar on a diabetic unless the patient is capable of
monitoring and adjusting their own insulin levels.
It is advised that BodyTalk is not
a substitute for conventional medical care in any condition of accident or
serious illness, and there may be times when consultation with a physician is
required. BodyTalk complements all other modalities, so it doesn't
detract or contraindicate any other treatments you may be currently taking from
any other practitioners.
Are there any side effects?
BodyTalk involves tapping into the innate
intelligence of the patient before treatment. The BodyTalk practitioner is
always aware of what the patient's body can safely deal with at any particular
time. Not surprisingly, therefore, the clinical findings of BodyTalk have shown
that the system is totally safe, and gently helps to re-establish a better
balance within, and between, all of the many systems in the body.
