Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What Happens in a BodyTalk Session?

A. In a BodyTalk session the BodyTalk practitioner consults the body’s innate intelligence by means of neuromuscular biofeedback or “muscle testing”. Using this gentle muscle testing and a comprehensive protocol of questions, the body gives the practitioner an indication of the priorities in the healing process. The priorities often consist of multiple parts/systems that need to link into each other. This feedback enables the practitioner to put a picture together for the client of which aspects of the body are priorities, require re-balancing or need restored communication. 

The practitioner then addresses these priorities through touching the area of priority –this touching is done by the client or practitioner. The practitioner then uses gentle tapping first on the head and then on the sternum to facilitate, register and store the links in the brain and heart complex. The client is asked to do deep breathing during the tapping process. This process enhances integral functioning and interconnection within the body.

The tapping on the brain allows awareness to be brought to the areas of priority that a link is being made.  The tapping on the sternum allows the heart complex to register, store and implement the changes.

Subsequent sessions are used to addresses reconnecting links at new levels related to patterns identified in an initial session or perhaps to address additional or new client goals.
