What is BodyTalk?
BodyTalk is an astonishingly simple and effective form of therapy that allows the body's energy systems to be re-synchronized so that they can operate as nature intended. Each system, cell and atom is in constant communication with each other at all times.
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. BodyTalk can be used as a stand-alone system to treat many health problems, or seamlessly integrated into any health care system to increase its effectiveness and promote faster healing.
BodyTalk was first developed in the 1990s by a Dr. John Velteim. He is a chiropractor, traditional acupuncturist, philosopher, Reiki Master, and teacher. Originally from Australia, John moved to Sarosota, Florida, to further his practice and research of BodyTalk. Soon he began to teach the BodyTalk System to healthcare professionals as well as lay people. When word got out about the successes of this amazing new system, he took on the task of training other instructors so the BodyTalk System could be taught worldwide.
Why do we need BodyTalk?
The body has built-in mechanisms to initiate the healing process. If we cut ourselves, the body immediately sets up a process to start healing the wound. This occurs at several levels - physical, emotional, and mental. Although this is obvious to every one of us, most people do not fully realize just how wonderful the human healing mechanism actually is.
So why do we get sick? The problem facing the body is in the way our lifestyles interfere with the natural processes of the body. Today, most people in society are routinely exposed to the following:
- The physical stresses of day to day life including physical injuries.
- Emotional traumas and issues that arise from time to time (e.g. anger, fear, worry, sadness, guilt, jealousy etc.)
- Chemical substances contained in the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air that we breathe.
- Exposure to artificial energy fields that exist within our society and the electronic devices that we use on a daily
- basis (e.g., power plants, overhead electrical wires, phones and cell phones, pagers, computers, TVs, VCRs, stereo equipment, microwave ovens, lights, clock radios, other electrical appliances).
These factors compromise the communication networks or energy circuits of the body. It is critical that these systems be perfectly balanced for the body to effectively coordinate the billions of synchronized activities per second that are necessary to maintain optimum health. The body only fails in its job because its communication systems have been severely compromised through the external stresses of life.
In essence, the energy circuits are "blown" in a similar manner to electrical circuits in our house that "blow" when they are overloaded. By re-establishing good communication between the various parts of the body, they once again are able to "talk" to each other. The body is then capable of healing itself very rapidly and effectively.
How does BodyTalk work?
The BodyTalk system works by first identifying the weak energy circuits that exist within the body. The practitioner relies on the innate wisdom of the body to locate the energy circuits that need repair by using a form of biofeedback, which is a subtle muscle testing technique.
For every malfunctioning energy circuit that is found, the practitioner or client contacts the corresponding "points" with their hands. The practitioner then lightly taps the client on the top of the head, which stimulates the brain centers and causes the brain to re-evaluate the state of the body's health. The result is that the general energy balance of the body is greatly improved.
The practitioner then taps the client on the sternum to "announce" the corrected energy flows to the rest of the body. This is beneficial because the heart is responsible for communicating the state of the body's health to the rest of the body. Stimulating the heart by tapping the sternum forces the heart to store the corrected energy patterns in the body's cellular memory. This means that the body will remember these changes after the treatment.
The BodyTalk treatment protocol is very straightforward and does not require any diagnosis. The practitioner relies on the guidance of innate wisdom, through muscle testing, to not only locate the weakened lines of communication in the body but also to find the proper order in which they are to be addressed.
Just as the body heals a wound with a particular sequencing of chemical reactions, the body wants to address all healing in a certain order. This priority is paramount in the balancing process to initiate the body's ability to heal itself. The healing process usually follows rather quickly.
Can BodyTalk help me?
The beauty of BodyTalk is that everyone can benefit from BodyTalk sessions. Whether you have a severe chronic illness, or want to be happier in yourself or simply want more energy, the BodyTalk system offers something for everyone.
In the BodyTalk System we focus on the 'priority' of what the body wants to address first. This is one of the aspects that truly sets BodyTalk apart from other any other healing system. This is because, rather than focusing on what the practitioner deems as priority - or, for that matter, the client - the body will address what it deems as the most important 'links' to restore health and optimal balance in the quickest and most effective way, without any distress to the client.
What ailments does BodyTalk address?

What to expect from a BodyTalk session
BodyTalk is based on the premise that the body can heal itself if given the opportunity to have optimal balance restored to the body. In BodyTalk we do not prescribe anything, we do not diagnose, there are no uncomfortable manipulations or needles. In fact, your body does everything in the BodyTalk session. The practitioner simply establishes communication with the body, asks appropriate questions and with 'linking', 'tapping out' and 'exaggerated breathing', the healing process begins.
How often will I need to have BodyTalk?
There is no defined number of sessions that can be listed here, as everyone will have different requirements as to how many and how regular they will need BodyTalk. In some cases people will only need a handful of sessions (3-5), whereas with others who have long-standing physical or emotional conditions there may be a need for more ongoing BodyTalk.
Every session ends with the question, "Is it a priority to schedule another BodyTalk session?" If so, a timeline is asked. This may be anywhere from a day (not common) to a week (more common) to a month (more common after several sessions). This may also be with the same practitioner or with someone completely different, depending on your requirements.
As a general rule at SCS Health, we recommend at least one BodyTalk session a month. This is once you have had your initial sessions and have resolved the main initial reason for seeking out BodyTalk. We call this once-a-month session the Warrant of Fitness for health and wellbeing, as we find that those who maintain this practice continue to receive the benefits long-term from this healing system. This is obviously not compulsory, but merely a recommendation.
