✨ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭?

In (𝐌𝐨𝐝 𝟗) 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐲𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤: 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐱 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬, we explore how masks, identities, and group dynamics shape our health and individual consciousness. Often, the “missing piece” in healing lies not in the individual alone, but in the matrixes we’re part of—families, teams, organizations, and even the energetic structures within our own bodymind.

This powerful online course (𝐃𝐞𝐜 𝟒–𝟔, 𝟖𝐚𝐦–𝟐𝐩𝐦 𝐌𝐒𝐓, 𝐔𝐒𝐀) expands your ability as a practitioner to:
🔹 Identify and rebalance dysfunctional matrixes—both internal and external
🔹 Work with masks, archetypal roles, and energetic “tentacles” that sustain blockages
🔹 Facilitate profound transformation within individuals, families, and collective groups

“Nothing in the whole universe is on its own. Every matrix is composed of matrixes.” —Dr. Jeffrey Maitland

IMAGE IS EVERYTHING

We spend a lifetime learning how to look composed — to keep the peace, to hold it together, to appear fine - to look perfect.

But what happens when the image itself becomes the mask?
When “I’m perfect” hides tension, illness, or the quiet ache of misalignment?

In Matrix Dynamics (Mod 9), we explore the energetic architecture beneath those masks — the matrixes that shape who we believe we are.
You’ll learn to see how collective fields, family dynamics, and archetypal roles influence health, behavior, and healing.

This course equips BodyTalk practitioners to:
🌱 Identify and balance family, group, and organizational matrixes
🌱 Work with the energetic “masks” clients wear — and what they protect
🌱 Notice fixed identities that sustain stress and illness
🌱 Support transformation across the individual and collective field

Are you willing to see that this also applies to your own mind & way of thinking?
Are you willing to question what you believe to be true?

Every time you get triggered... every time your button gets pushed...it's a sure sign that a deeply held conviction is being contradicted.

But if you know with 100% certainty something is true, then why would you get upset?
It must mean you're NOT 100% certain.

Food for thought.

And just a small part of what Esther Veltheim & I will be exploring in our new BodyTalk Foundations course.

🌬️ The Energy of Wind: Movement in All Directions

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wind represents movement — both in nature and within us. It stirs the branches, animates the leaves, and brings change. But when it moves too forcefully, it can shake our foundations.

In the bodymind, Wind relates to the Wood Element Officials: Liver & Gallbladder and the emotion of Anger.

When expressed in a practical way, it brings flexibility, creativity, adaptability, and expression — like a gentle breeze that helps things grow.

When expressed in impractical ways (which includes suppression & repression), Wind expresses itself in restless or erratic behavior — shaking, trembling, twitching, shivering, surging as explosive anger...or implosive anger like a cap on a volcano.

Just as a tornado can uproot trees, internal wind can scatter our energy, leaving us dizzy, tense, or unable to find calm.

Wind reminds us: movement is life — and real strength lies in flexibility, in yielding and flowing without bending your will in submission or resignation. 🌳

Question: What examples of healthy/unhealthy Wind do these videos or other images bring to your mind and imagination?

“𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐲. 𝐈’𝐦 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞.”

It’s the mask many of us wear.

We’ve been taught to smile through discomfort — to stay composed, to keep the peace.

But underneath, the body always tells the truth.

In Matrix Dynamics (Mod 9), we explore what happens when those masks — in families, teams, and within ourselves — begin to soften.

This course gives BodyTalk practitioners practical tools to uncover the energetic roles and group dynamics that quietly shape health and behavior.

You’ll learn to:
🌱 Recognize when symptoms reflect unspoken emotional or family tension
🌱 Release the energetic “tentacles” that sustain those stress patterns
🌱 Restore flow and balance within the family and collective field

– Dr. John Veltheim, Creator of the BodyTalk System

The BodyTalk System was born from Dr. John Veltheim’s dream to honor the body’s own priorities for healing. To this day, the golden rule remains: consult the body in the most respectful way.

This isn’t always easy—because being a BodyTalk Practitioner asks far more of us than technique alone. It calls us into deeper relationship: with energy, with clients, with our own awareness.

🌀 BodyTalk Foundations invites you to explore these roots through energy, relationships, and metaphysics—examining how we show up in sessions and life. Together, we’ll clarify what it means to “honor the body,” cultivate objectivity, and align with the system’s guiding principles.

Topics include:
• Honoring the Body and Caring
• Permissions & Affirmations
• Attention & Intention
• Priority & Agenda
• Environment & Emotions
…and more.

Through reflection, dialogue, and practice, we deepen our capacity to serve with clarity, presence, and integrity—strengthening the very foundations that make BodyTalk unique.
