The Bodytalk System

Imagine a healing system based in energy-medicine, and able to successfully work simultaneously with charged memory and environmental factors, individual body parts or organs, energy systems such as charkas and meridians and even allergies and intolerances. A system that works because it focuses on your body's incredible ability to heal itself.

BodyTalk, as the name implies, communicates with our bodies in a very effective and powerful way, by connecting with our innate wisdom and truly understanding the incredible healing potential of our bodies. BodyTalk has an extensive scientific basis, impressive research findings, and a huge network of practitioners all over the world, including doctors, health practitioners, and energy workers.

Described as a “holistic energy-medicine system”, Bodytalk focuses not on our physical, mental and emotional "problems", but on our priorities, which come forward through something called neuromuscular feedback. This is very similar to Applied Kinesiology, but much more relaxing for the client. In fact, all the client needs to do is breathe, relax, and occassionally place a hand on a focus point.

The practitioner asks questions about the priorities of your body silently, using muscular feedback to receive yes or no answers, and working from a very specific protocol, developed to support the body's innate wisdom. Then, honouring the body's immense capacity to heal itself, the practitioner gently taps the head to activate the brain to respond to the connections indicated and then taps the sternum to store the change that has been made in the body-mind. Although this sounds suspiciously simple, many practitioners have reported incredible and often miraculous results and almost all of my clients have felt more relaxed, calm and clear after a session.

To further support the client, practitioners are encouraged to leave their personal agendas at the door, including focus on health problems. Many times the body requires other balancing before it is able to tackle what we see on the surface, and by letting the body decide the order of the session rather than the practitioner, things are able to balance much more easily.

Bodytalk also works beautifully with animals, as the owner is able to act as a surrogate for their animal, allowing the healing priorities of the body-mind of the animal to be expressed in the testing. In fact, a course called Animaltalk is available to Bodytalk practitioners, to deepen their understand the value of the system specifically for animals. For our animals, it is a gentle method which works at the level of energy, which we all have, to bring the priorities of their body to the surface and support their healing in the most effective way.

Communication is a major focus in Bodytalk. If you can imagine a room full of musicians all playing the same song at different times, compared to one where a conductor guides the musicians to play beautifully together, you get a sense of what happens when the communication systems of the body break down. If the digestive tract, for example, was communicating poorly with the liver, we may see difficulties in digesting and utilizing fats and perhaps even some weight loss or gain or poor haircoat in our horses. Using Bodytalk this communication breakdown is brought to the practitioner's attention and repaired, often creating a much more effective system without changing anything in the individual parts. In fact, by seeing the body as fully inter-connecting, we are able to understand that by repairing one communication link, many underlying shifts can take place that we are not even aware of. We can even repair links between active or charged memories and the emotions they carry to these organs or body parts, making this technique incredibly effective with any horse or person that has had any traumatic experiences or events in his or her life. As the large intestine is often thought of as our organ for assimilating and letting go of emotion, as well as potentially getting “constipated” by it, releasing the emotions of a traumatic experience in this gentle way can be incredibly healing for the whole digestive tract. Functions to bring the focus of the body to specific bacteria, parasites, allergies and intolerances can also be very helpful in bringing balance to the digestive system.

The concept of Bodytalk is simple, just get out of the way and allow the body to do what it was designed to do, balance and heal itself. To think that we are even close to understanding the interconnectedness and pure genius of our bodies is not realistic. It can be a system that asks us to look outside the box of traditional health care, as most energy medicine systems do, but truly “outside of the box” can be one of our most potent learning and growing areas.
