Definition of BodyTalk:
The BodyTalk system is a unique healthcare modality in that it addresses the body in a truly integrative, holistic way. The bodytalk practitioner recognizes that the bodymind complex functions as a synchronicity, and not as a bundle of autonomously functioning parts. This understanding precludes the idea that poor health denotes an imbalance, or lack of synchronization. Instead, the BodyTalk practitioner acknowledges that poor health is an indication the the body's innate wisdom to heal and maintain synchronicity within the body, is in need of enhancing. To this end, the BodyTalk practitioner consults the body's innate wisdom by means of biofeedback. "innate" then gives the practitioner an indication of its priorities in the healing process. By means of this technique, the BodyTalk practitioner is able to determine which aspects of the body are poorly linked and under-communicating with others. Also, by means of biofeedback, the body's innate wisdom indicates its priorities in bringing about enhanced communication within the bodymind complex. The practitioner then addresses these links by touching them or by asking the client to touch them. While the link is being held, the Bodytalk practitioner uses a technique which entails tapping gently on the head, and then over the heart complex. The act of tapping on the head enables innate to register the links in the brain, which enhances the overall integral functioning and intercommunication within the body. The act of tapping over the heart complex enables innate to store the memory of the links. In this way, the innate wisdom and healing function inherent in the body is enhanced on all levels-physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
