BODYMIND

The most fascinating aspect of BodyTalk, to me, is its emphasis that the body and spirit are one. Our biography becomes our biology. Our memories are stored in our bodies. Emotions we think we have long forgotten are still imprinted in our organs, tissues and glands. This compromises the functioning of that bodypart, which in turn weakens other organs in that system. Sometimes a physical problem will be alleviated by the body asking for stored emotion to be removed from one organ or another. Or the body may ask for a painful memory to be rebalanced and for the client to extend forgiveness to another person or to him- or herself. Sometimes a troubling emotional issue is balanced simply by bringing it forward and activating the brain and heart to synthesize it. BodyTalk also rebalances negative information we may have inherited from our ancestors, since many physical and spiritual tendencies are passed down through the generations.

PRIORITIES

Another aspect of BodyTalk I have profound respect for is the concept of priorities. When you go to a doctor with a cough, the doctor — going by the symptoms — gives you a prescription. BodyTalk isn't like this at all. If you were to come to me with a cough, I don't have a set solution for you that I give to every other client with the same symptoms. In fact I, as a practitioner, can have no agenda at all — no pre-set idea of how to help you. I must ask the body. The body is the director of the healing, and all I do is help it to focus on the problem.

Through muscle-testing and by following an elaborate protocol of questions, I'll be able to determine which area of your bodymind is the PRIORITY for your body to balance. At any time we could use all sorts of balancing and kind attention, but with BodyTalk, the question is always, "What is the priority?" So if you came with a cough, the priority for you may be to re-establish communication between the left and right lung. It could be to open up any one of the points along your lung meridian along the hands, arms and upper torso. It could be needing to release grief from the lungs that may have to do with the recent passing of someone you love, or with a life transition. There are an unlimited number of solutions, different for each person. There are no set answers, but always individual solutions to your particular needs.

PROTOCOL

The practitioner is guided by the body’s innate wisdom through the BodyTalk protocol to locate the weakened lines of communication in the body-mind complex. The protocol is like a map of the entire bodymind, allowing the practitioner to address the priority sequence of healing that is unique to each person. The protocol reveals all aspects of the bodymind complex: physical, mental, emotional, energetic, spiritual and environmental influences. It is the most comprehensive protocol available in any healing system. I have profound respect for its vast scope.

SENSATIONS

A BodyTalk session usually lasts between 15 & 60 mins. The duration of the session is not indicative of its quality or of the results that will occur. It is the innate intelligence of the client that indicates what is required at that time for the bodymind to move to the next level of healing. It is common to experience such things as: gurgling in the abdominal region (as energy is releasing from the diaphragm), warm or cold sensations, general calming and relaxation throughout the body, sudden urges to express an emotion (e.g. laughing, crying). If you are not comfortable sharing what you are feeling or thinking about… you don’t have to. The session will be beneficial regardless of whether or not there is a conscious exchange between you and the practitioner.

BodyTalk is completely safe and has no side effects. It doesn't interfere with any other treatment, and may be used in combination with any other traditional or alternative healing modality.

REPEAT APPOINTMENTS

At the end of the session, the practitioner asks your body if there is a follow-up session required, and when the optimum time for the session would be. The choice of whether to book another appointment is your decision. In emergency cases, the follow-up may be necessary in minutes or hours rather than days, weeks or months.

AFTERWARDS

A BodyTalk session is just the beginning. BodyTalk stimulates your body to do what it was born knowing — how to heal itself. This process will continue for some time after your BodyTalk session as your body works through the changes necessary to return you to a state of optimal physical, mental and emotional health. Over the next few days, weeks or months you will notice improvements in your physical, mental, and spiritual self as your brain rewires – this is commonly known as neuroplasticity.
