In October of 2008, I began training in the BodyTalk System®. I’m very excited about adding this technique to my practice. BodyTalk is a highly effective system of accessing the body’s innate wisdom to heal itself. It does this through reestablishing or enhancing communication between all aspects of the body-mind complex in order of priority, resulting in healing from the inside out.

The body is a complex organism performing billions of synchronized biochemical processes every second to maintain proper functioning. When a body is operating at its best, each system, organ and body part, down to the cellular level, are in constant communication with one another at all times. Through exposure to the stresses of day-to-day life, environmental influences, accidents, trauma, diet and other factors, these lines of communication can become compromised which then leads to a decline in physical, emotional and/or mental health. Reconnecting these lines of communication then enables the body's mechanisms to function at optimal levels, thus preventing disease and rapidly accelerating the healing process.

The body has built-in mechanisms to initiate the healing process. If we cut ourselves, the body automatically sets up a process to start healing the wound. Although this is obvious to each of us, most people do not fully realize just how wonderful the body’s healing mechanism actually is. The BodyTalk System® facilitates communication with the innate wisdom of the body by using neuromuscular feedback. By following a comprehensive protocol of questions, we can establish exactly what balancing your body needs and in which order of priority to harmonize the body-mind function.

Clinical results have shown that once the communications systems of the body have been reestablished and the body-mind complex synchronized, the body is capable of healing itself at a deep and lasting level. Most clients immediately notice a greater sense of well-being and relaxation after the treatment. They feel more at peace with themselves and often report sleeping better, having more energy and feeling more balanced.

The wonderful thing about the BodyTalk system is that we are being guided by your body’s innate wisdom. This means that I don’t need to diagnose you or rely on my knowledge to address the issue. Your subconscious is what “runs the show” behind the scene and that is what is responding to the questions I’ll ask to determine what your body seeks to balance. Your subconscious is what signals your body to digest your food, to breathe, heal wounds, grow your nails and all the other activities that your body does without you ever having to even think about it.

John Veltheim, the founder of the BodyTalk system, has recently given all BodyTalkers permission to share one of the basic techniques from the BodyTalk system with everyone. He has created a video that discusses the Cortices Balancing Technique. This technique helps you to reconnect the right and left hemispheres of the brain. Having both sides of your brain working in harmony can help your body come into balance as well as helping your memory, alertness and regular brain function. The technique takes about 1 minute or less and can be done as often as you’d like, especially during periods of high stress or times when you feel “off”. The video is about 12 minutes long and teaches you theory behind the technique as well as how to do it. I use this technique daily and have really found it to be very beneficial. To view the video, click on this link www.BodyTalksystems.com/videos. Scroll down and locate the “Cortices How To” video and then click on the image. All of the videos there are for public viewing but this is the only one that contains information on a specific technique from the system as opposed to those promoting BodyTalk training. Enjoy and enjoy the benefits of this amazingly simple technique. Please share this with everyone you know who might benefit from it.
