What is BodyTalk?
BodyTalk is a simple, safe and astonishingly effective system of integrative
health care. BodyTalk is a holistic approach to healing, based on proven
principles of energy medicine. The body is a complex ecosystem with
a delicate balance between physiological biochemical functions, emotional
and mental interactions, environmental influences, and hereditary and
genetic restrictions. BodyTalk helps synchronize the body’s natural
functions - to achieve and maintain healing and growth on all levels:
physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
How to Prepare for a BodyTalk Session?
Make a list of your complaints. Write down the symptoms that have been
nagging for days, months, and years. Nothing is seemingly too insignificant
or vague: tiredness, pains, loss of physical functioning, and angry
or sad feelings around someone you love or aversion to certain substances
could all qualify. Just think of the things in your life that irritate
or slow you down - occasionally - or always!
What Procedures are used in a BodyTalk Session?
A brief medical history is taken, identifying particular symptoms,
pains or chronic health issues. Fully clothed you will be asked to rest
face up, on a massage table. You will be kept informed of the formulas
being used. Most people feel relaxed as they are asked to breathe deeply
while the BodyTalk practitioner gently taps on the head and sternum
(heart complex). The duration of a session is not indicative of the
quality of the session or the results that occur. Because your innate
wisdom is dictating the session, you can be assured of receiving exactly
what is needed at that particular time for the enhanced communication
and balancing to take place. A BodyTalk session usually lasts between
15-60 minutes. Your innate wisdom will dictate when the session is complete
and establish a time when you need to return for a follow-up session.
Can anything go wrong during a session?
No one can be hurt with BodyTalk. If a technique is incorrectly done,
it simply means there will be no result or change. It will not make
the situation worse. Your body’s own innate wisdom is running
the session.
What can I expect after a BodyTalk session?
Immediately after a session you may, in fact, feel little. Encouraged
to drink lots of water following a session, for a day or two you may
need to use the washroom often. Toxins that have blocked the natural,
healthy flow of body processes are being secreted.
During these first few hours, you may notice some awareness or feelings
in parts of your body you hadn’t noticed for a while. You may
enjoy some new clarity, deep relaxation, or subtle changes in overall
functioning. When we begin to feel good again, we blessedly and quickly
forget how bad pain and discomfort can be. Moving so quickly and effortlessly
into a healthy functioning body, some clients simply forget that the
BodyTalk session they had only the week before is the reason why even
chronic conditions have disappeared for good.
Like anyone, BodyTalk professionals like to be remembered for the great
work they do!
How does BodyTalk work?
BodyTalk uses the principles of energy medicine and your body’s
innate wisdom to help it promote healing on all levels. BodyTalk practitioners
find out what your body needs to rebalance the flow of healthy energy.
A BodyTalk practitioner is trained to silently ask your body a series
of questions outlined on an extensive Protocol and Procedure chart.
Your body knows what needs to heal. And it knows the priority the healing
should take.
In BodyTalk, your body’s choice is ALWAYS honored. The sequence
to be addressed is determined by your body’s own innate intelligence
or wisdom. To promote faster healing, the proper order of linking is
most important.
A special technique – lightly tapping on your head and your heart
- is used to restore the communication systems within your body/mind.
This links those parts that your body has prioritized.
Healing happens when parts of your body are re-synchronized and communicating
with each other.
Your body knows how to heal itself – it just needs to remember!

What are the Balancing principles of BodyTalk?
Ask the Body - Biofeedback testing provides
a Yes/No communication between your body’s innate wisdom and your
practitioner, indicating what part to balance and when.
Linking - Good health depends on optimum
communication amongst all the systems of your body. The practitioner
asks your body which organs, endocrine glands, body parts, etc need
to be linked to facilitate healing and renew vigor.
The Tapping Procedure - One of the most important
developments in the BodyTalk System, gently tapping on the body to get
it to focus on healing has been part of some indigenous holistic systems,
such as yoga, for centuries. Tapping the head (brain) to ‘fix’
the faulty communication and the sternum (heart complex) to ‘store’
the fix facilitates the body’s own ability to restore and maintain
its optimum balance.
Exaggerated Breathing - Exaggerated breathing
helps your body locate and target the corrections. Inhaling scans the
higher frequencies of your body/mind including thoughts and emotions,
while exhaling scans the denser frequencies – tissue, muscle and
bone.
How does BodyTalk address injury and illness?
Thanks to the Innate Wisdom of Your Body
BodyTalk is based on the simple, profound principle that your body is
capable of healing itself at all levels. ‘Natural’ healing
is automatically initiated when you cut your finger or twist your ankle.
The stresses of daily living can compromise your innate healing ability
and lead to degeneration and illness. BodyTalk reminds your body/mind
to direct its healing to these neglected or compromised areas.

What Professional Qualifications Does a BodyTalk Professional
Hold?
A Certified BodyTalk Practitioner has completed
the fundamental coursework of the BodyTalk System, re-monitored that
coursework, and satisfied the standards of a Certified BodyTalk Instructor
– in both a written and a practical exam – that they have
mastered the material and the techniques of the System. Many Certified
BodyTalk Practitioners are licensed practitioners in other modalities
and have integrated BodyTalk into their practice. Still others (including
acupuncturists, chiropractors, MDs, and physical therapists) now practice
BodyTalk almost exclusively, because they are discovered the results
are permanent and fast.
A BodyTalk Practitioner in Training has completed
the foundation workshops (Modules 1&2) and is encouraged to register
in advanced courses to enhance and expand skills. Diligently working
toward certification through hands-on experience, a Practitioner in
Training stays in contact with the wider BodyTalk community and receives
the benefits of ongoing BodyTalk sessions from other practitioners in
order to move toward greater personal healing on the mental, physical
and emotional levels.
BodyTalk Access Technicians are certified in a one-day
course to do BodyTalk balancing through the Access process. Five powerful
techniques are learned which enhance wellness and balance the body:
Balancing the Cortices, Switching, Hydration, Body Chemistry, the Reciprocals
and Fast Aid. Certified BodyTalk Technicians often take the next step
- to become BodyTalk Practitioners - as they happily witness the results
in their clients, families and friends.
Fee Structure to Clients: The standard session
fee for all three levels of BodyTalk Professionals may vary. Qualifications
of the BodyTalk Practitioner (In Training, Certified, or Practitioners
with advanced studies to PaRama level), combined with licenses in other
professional modalities, plays a role. Specialized BodyTalk training,
- the growing demand for Animal Talk and Plant Talk - and regional fiscal
constraints can also factor in.
