The basic premises underlying The BodyTalk System constitute a new paradigm for synchronizing and balancing the bodymind. The body is a very complex ecosystem involving a delicate balance between physiological and biochemical functions, emotional and mental interactions, environmental influences, hereditary and genetic restrictions, and the need to synchronize all these factors into a cohesive whole. The BodyTalk System recognizes that in each of us there lies the innate knowing of who we are and what makes our bodies work. This innate wisdom carries the answer to our health care dilemma and is addressed in the following way: 1.- The BodyTalk System facilities communication with the innate wisdom of the body by using neuromuscula biofeedback. This feedback provides the practitioner with a "yes" or "no" answer to any question that is asked of the body. The innate wisdom thus provides BodyTalk accurate guidelines with regard to the bodymind requirements for optimum health. 2.- By following a comprehensive protocol of questions, the BodyTalk practitioner can establish exactly what balancing the body needs in order to harmonize bodymind function. This involved finding out which organs, endocrines, or body parts need to be connected to heal communication between them at the physiological, biochemical, circulatory, nervous, emotional, and/or energy levels. 3.- The patient and/or practitioner touches the parts needing repair and the practitioner then uses his/her fingers to gently tap the head of the patient in order to focus the brain toward repair. BodyTalk "tapping" is based on Hatha Yoga technique; experiments with biofeedback apparatus show that when the tapping occurs while specific parts are being touched, there is a major increase in brain activity in relation to those parts. 4.- The practitioner then lightly taps the chest to store the changes in the heart energy complex, which ensures that the new balance is held in deep memory and is, therefore, lasting. |
