BodyTalk Systems ™
BodyTalk System Overview
Australian Chiropractor and Acupuncturist, Dr. John Veltheim, developed the BodyTalk System® in 1995. Since then it has been taught to thousands of practitioners worldwide. Graduates include medical doctors and specialists, psychologists, psychotherapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, naturopaths, physical therapists, osteopaths, nurses, licensed massage therapists, and laymen.
The outstanding growth and success of the BodyTalk® system is essentially fueled by the following factors:
- Outstanding results occur in almost every sphere of heath care.
- It is totally non-invasive and absolutely safe. There are no contraindications to its use since no diagnosis is given, no medications prescribed, and no invasive techniques are imposed upon the patient.
- Patients enjoy the sessions and the results are evident within all aspects of health - mind, body, and spirit.
The basic premises underlying The BodyTalk System constitute a new paradigm for synchronizing and balancing the BodyMind that can be implemented in conjunction with any health care system. The body is a very complex ecosystem involving a delicate balance between physiological biochemical functions, emotional and mental interactions, environmental influences, hereditary and genetic restrictions, and the need to synchronize all these factors into a cohesive whole.
The BodyTalk System recognizes that within each and every one of us there lies the innate knowing of how to be healthy. This innate wisdom carries the answer to our health care dilemmas which is addressed in the following way:
1. The BodyTalk System® facilitates communication with the innate wisdom of the body by using neuromuscular biofeedback. This feedback provides the practitioner with a 'yes' or 'no' answer to specific questions posed by the BodyTalk® practitioner.
2. By following a comprehensive protocol of questions, the BodyTalk practitioner can establish exactly what balancing the body needs in order to harmonize bodymind function. They identify which organs, endocrines, or body parts need to be connected to heal communication between them at the physiological, biochemical, circulatory, nervous, emotional, and/or energy levels.
3. The patient and/or practitioner touch the parts that need repair and the practitioner then uses his/her fingers to gently tap the head of the patient in order to focus the brain toward repair. BodyTalk® 'tapping' is based on an old Hatha Yoga technique. Modern scientific experiments with biofeedback apparatus show that when this tapping occurs while specific parts are being touched there is a major increase in brain activity in relation to those parts.
4. The practitioner then lightly taps the chest to store the changes in the heart energy complex, which ensures that the new balance is held in deep memory and is, therefore, lasting.
Clinical results have shown that once the communication systems of the body have been re-oriented and the bodymind complex synchronized, the body is capable of healing itself at a deep and lasting level. BodyTalk® practitioners are seeing the incredible healing power of a 'balanced' body in the daily results obtained in practice. The functions of every part of the body and mind are improved. This means that the immune system will start to eliminate chronic and acute viruses, bacteria, parasites, and toxins. Reestablishing of the mind/body balance reduces allergies, emotional and psychological disorders. It also improves posture and coordination, digestion and elimination, brain functions, learning disorders, and states of distorted consciousness in the form of negative belief systems and attitudes.
