What is BodyTalk?

The BodyTalk System™ is a type of holistic, integrative therapy that uses non-invasive, painless and completely safe techniques to balance weakened energy points of the body-mind complex, thus enabling its self-healing mechanism. While many of the imbalanced elements may be within the body, numerous outside factors could also play great roles in how one's body functions.

In a natural, healthy state, all cells in the body are in constant energetic interaction with one another. Stress and other factors may disturb, and thus weaken these pathways creating blockages, which then lead to dis-ease. Using the BodyTalk System™, the damaged lines of communication are balanced, allowing the body optimal performance in healing and maintaining itself. BodyTalk can be utilized as complementary therapy in conjuction with oher types of healing modalities, and it can also be effectively used as a stand-alone system.

How BodyTalk works

The body has an innate ability to heal itself. When we cut ourselves, the body automatically engages its wound-healing capabilities knowing precisely when, where, how, and what to do. There is no need for us to consciously think about the processes; they happen by themselves under optimal circumstances.

Using muscle testing (neuromuscular biofeedback), the BodyTalk practitioner establishes contact with Innate to locate the body's unhealthy energy pathways, which are often made up of several links. When guided by Innate, the practitioner and/or the client place their hands on the appropriate links, then a light tapping procedure follows on top of the head and over the sternum. The tapping procedure stimulates the brain and heart centers to become aware of, balance, and store the healed energetic formulas.

It is important to keep in mind that BodyTalk does not diagnose, treat, nor does it prescribe medications. It simply re-establishes lines of communication between imbalanced energy points, so that self-healing may take place.
