Blue Rainbow - What is Bodytalk?

<BODY> <p style="margin-top: 28px"> </p> If your liver could speak, what would it be telling you now? If your joints could talk, they would tell you why they were hurting. If your body could reveal why it was so tired, maybe you could do something about it. <p> BodyTalk is a scientific and highly effective of way of listening to what your body is telling you it needs.</p><p> Its major assets are its simplicity, safety, and the speed of its results. </p><p> Our self-healing capacity is constantly striving to maintain balance and communication, and therefore optimum health, in our bodies. Sometimes there is just too much to do, imbalances occur, communication breaks down and ill-health results. </p><p> BodyTalk uses neuro-muscular biofeedback to reveal those imbalances, then through a range of techniques restores communication and strengthens that self-healing ability. </p><p> It works with the body to help it get back on track rather than fighting any particular condition. Specific health issues are still addressed in BodyTalk, but always in the context of the entire body’s natural balance. For this reason, there are no side-effects and no contraindications. </p><p> The BodyTalk System was developed in 1995 by Australian chiropractor and acupuncturist, Dr. John Veltheim, and combines Western medical expertise, the insights of modern physics and mathematics, the wisdom of advanced yoga and advaitic philosophy, the energy dynamics of acupuncture and the clinical findings of Applied Kinesiology. </p><p> More detailed information about the theory behind BodyTalk can be found on the website of the International BodyTalk Association <a href="javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.bodytalksystem.com/?skip=1',790,590)">www.bodytalksystem.com</a> </p> <ul> <li> <a class="what" href="#Can_BodyTalk_help_me?">Can BodyTalk help me?</a> </li> <li> <a class="what" href="#What_does_a_session_involve?">What does a session involve?</a> </li> <li> <a class="what" href="#What_happens_after_a_session?">What happens after a session?</a></li> <li> <a class="what" href="#How_many_sessions_will_I_need?">How many sessions will I need and how often?</a></li> <li> <a class="what" href="#Is_it_safe?">Is it safe?</a></li> <li> <a class="what" href="#How_much?">How much does it cost and how do I make an appointment?</a> </li> </ul> <p> <a name="Can_BodyTalk_help_me?"><font size="3"><span style="background-color: #DBE1FF;font-weight:bold">Can BodyTalk help me?</span></font></a></p> <p>Since BodyTalk covers every aspect of our health, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, any health concerns you may have can be addressed by BodyTalk. These can range from vague feelings of dissatisfaction with life to learning disabilities, chronic pain, sports performance, dehydration, phobias, addictions, serious diseases and everything in between. </p><p> A complete list would therefore be much too long, but please don’t hesitate to contact me if you wish to know whether BodyTalk can address your particular concern. The answer will almost certainly be yes, but I may be able to reassure you with a previous case study. </p> <p align="right"><a href="javascript:window.scrollTo(0,0)">[back to top]</a></p> <p><a name="What_does_a_session_involve?"><font size="3"><span style="background-color: #DBE1FF;font-weight:bold">What does a session involve?</span></font></a></p> <p>Your BodyTalk appointment is for one hour, though the actual time “in session” can range from 20 to 40 minutes. Sometimes the most powerful sessions can be the shortest ones. </p><p> After an initial consultation, you lie fully-clothed and face up on a massage table. I will then use a form of neuro-muscular biofeedback to locate the imbalances in your body. By following a comprehensive BodyTalk protocol, I look at every system in your body <b>*</b> (see below). </p><p> When imbalances or “weaknesses” are found<b>**</b>, I perform techniques that restore balance. These techniques are painless and mostly involve gentle tapping on the head and sternum and holding various points on the body. </p><p> At the end of the session, I talk you through what areas were addressed during the session and answer any questions you may have. </p><p> <b>*</b>Because the BodyTalk System is truly holistic and integrative, the protocol used during a session looks at virtually every system in the body, from the point of view of both Western and Eastern physiology, psychology and philosophy. Areas addressed during sessions are as follows : </p><p> <ul> <li>Overall breathing patterns, left/right brain co-ordination, energy blockages associated with birthplace, energy imbalances within the brain cortices, general and localized hydration, and health problems associated with internal and external scarring. <li> Specific balancing of the twelve major body organs, eight endocrine systems, and other body parts.</li><li> Correction of genetically and/or environmentally influenced cell disorders. <li> Clearing the body of viruses, infections, parasites, food intolerances, environmental allergies, and accumulated toxins. <li> Balancing the 36 surface energy points that often impact a person's energy level, mood, overall structural integrity, muscle tension, and digestive system. These surface energy imbalances are also a cause of pain in specific parts of the body. <li> Clearing past and present emotional blockages including specific phobias and fears. These sessions have been very effective in correcting a number of psychological disorders. <li> Cleansing the lymphatic system including all the body lymph glands and the lymph ducts. <li> Addressing energy blockages associated with the nervous and circulatory systems. <li> Balancing the various energy systems within the body including the traditional acupuncture meridians, the chakras, and general bioenergetic energy flow. Blood sugar balancing also comes under this category. <li> Releasing parts of the musculo-skeletal system that may be "locked". This includes the spine, cranium, sacrum, ribs, joints and muscles. <li> Restoring energy imbalances between the patient and certain aspects of the environment. </ul> </p><p> <b>**</b> There are always a great number of imbalances in our bodies at any one time. It may seem logical to start with the biggest first. However, BodyTalk works in an order of priorities. This means that before the “big issues” can be dealt with, sometimes there is preparatory work to be done.</p><p> For example, even if your liver needs detoxifying, BodyTalk will not do that until it has strengthened your body sufficiently so that it can handle the onslaught of toxins that will be released from the liver when it is eventually detoxified. Or it may choose to resolve the root cause of the build-up of toxins in the liver, to prevent any further build-up. This may appear to us to be completely unconnected with the liver but the body will know that this is what it needs and the liver will be allowed to gradually detoxify at its own pace. </p><p> For this reason, the priorities that BodyTalk addresses during your session may not always appear to have much to do with your health concerns but they are usually closely linked at a very deep level that we are unaware of. <p align="right"><a href="javascript:window.scrollTo(0,0)">[back to top]</a></p> <p> <a name="What_happens_after_a_session?"><font size="3"><span style="background-color: #DBE1FF;font-weight:bold">What happens after a session?</span></font></a> </p> <p>In the day or two after a session, you may feel nothing in particular (this does not mean nothing is happening) or you may feel more tired than usual or a slight worsening of symptoms. This is a natural clearing process and you body needs to readjust to its new balance. <BR> It is important to drink plenty of water at frequent intervals to assist this process. </p><p> Sometimes, improvements to health are noticed immediately, generally it can take a few days to a few weeks. Some improvements may take longer. Every health issue is unique and every client is unique, with a unique set of life experiences, genetic make-up, expectations, belief systems, etc. which is why each individual will respond differently. </p><p> As all of your body’s systems will be addressed during sessions, the health benefits will be much greater than simply those you were hoping for at your initial consultation. <p align="right"><a href="javascript:window.scrollTo(0,0)">[back to top]</a></p> <p><a name="How_many_sessions_will_I_need?"><font size="3"><span style="background-color: #DBE1FF;font-weight:bold">How many sessions will I need and how often?</span></font></a></p> <p> The beauty of BodyTalk is that we can ask the body if and when you need another session. You body knows what is best for you, and through the same biofeedback technique as during the rest of the session, your body will indicate whether your next session needs to be within a few days, 2 weeks, 2 months or whatever. It will also indicate if another healthcare approach would be more appropriate than BodyTalk. </p><p> However, it is always up to the client to decide whether or not to listen to the body’s needs. Some people come for symptomatic relief for just a few sessions. Others come for several sessions for more profound health improvements, and others still continue to receive regular sessions because they see the benefits in all areas of their life. In my own experience, both BodyTalk and the Metamorphic Technique have been means of personal growth and development as well as healthcare, and by receiving regular sessions every 6-8 weeks I continue to feel better all the time and experience increasing success in my life. </p><p> As all your body’s systems will be addressed over a number of sessions, the health benefits will be much greater than simply those you were hoping for at your initial consultation. So clearly if you have more than 2 or 3 sessions you will be more likely to address a wider range of health issues. </p><p> Having said this many people are delighted with the results they see after just one or two sessions. </p> <p align="right"><a href="javascript:window.scrollTo(0,0)">[back to top]</a></p> <p><a name="Is_it_safe?"><font size="3"><span style="background-color: #DBE1FF;font-weight:bold">Is it safe?</span></font></a></p> <p>Completely. From newborn babies and pregnant women to the elderly and dying. </p> <p> The BodyTalk System works in your body’s best interests at any particular time. It will address what your body can safely handle at that time. The example of the toxic liver given above illustrates this principle. In this way, healing reactions are kept to a minimum. </p><p> Moreover, even if a BodyTalk technique is performed incorrectly, it simply means that there will be no result or change. It will not make things worse. </p><p> It follows, therefore, that anyone who receives BodyTalk has nothing to lose and everything to gain as far as their health is concerned. </p> <p align="right"><a href="javascript:window.scrollTo(0,0)">[back to top]</a></p> <p><a name="How_much?"><font size="3"><span style="background-color: #DBE1FF;font-weight:bold"> How much does it cost and how do I make an appointment?</span></font></a></p> <p>Please see the <a href="prices.htm" TARGET="_top"> Prices</a> page for information about cost, gift vouchers, discounts and taster evenings/coffee mornings.</p><p> If you would like to book an appointment or ask me any questions, you can do so by phone, email or through the form provided (please go to the <a href="contact_me.htm" TARGET="_top"> Contact</a> page). </p> <P>This site is meant to be used with a Frames capable browser.</P> </BODY>
