(The following information is an excerpt from the "BodyTalk System Overview" Paper from the IBA Member Site.)
Australian Chiropractor and Acupuncturist, Dr. John Veltheim, developed the BodyTalk System in 1995. The basic premises underlying the BodyTalk System constitute a new paradigm for synchronizing and balancing the bodymind (mind, body, and spirit) that can be implemented in conjunction with any health care sytem. The body is a very complex ecosystem involving a delicate balance between physiological biochemical functions, emotional and mental interactions, environmental influences, hereditary and genetic restrictions, and the need to synchronize all these factors into a cohesive whole.
The BodyTalk System recognizes that within each and every one of us there lies the innate knowing (innate wisdom) of who we are and what makes us tick.
The BodyTalk System facilitates communication with the innate wisdom of the body by using neuromuscular biofeedback. This feedback provides the practitioner with a 'yes' or 'no' answer to any question that is asked of the body. The innate wisdom thus provides BodyTalkers accurate guidelines with regard to the bodymind requirements for optimum health.
By following a comprehensive protocol of questions, the BodyTalk practitioner can establish exactly what balancing the body needs in order to harmonize bodymind function. This involves finding out which organs, endocrines, or body parts need to be connected to heal communications between them at the physiological, biochemical, circulatory, nervous, emotional, and/or energy levels.
Clinical results have shown that once the communications sytems of the body have been reestablished and the bodymind complex synchronized, the body is capable of healing itself at a deep and lasting level.
