BODYTALK WORKSHOPS

What is BodyTalk Access?
BodyTalk Access is a protocol of 5 simple, non-invasive techniques taken from the BodyTalk System™. The program was first introduced in September, 2005, to fulfill Dr. John Veltheim's vision that ALL people have access to the BodyTalk System™ techniques, including people in areas of the world that do not have access to medical care.

The techniques focus on improving the general functioning of the brain, the immune system, improved water distribution, and improvement of the person's physical body parts, including posture. Two of the techniques combine to bring significant aid during physical and emotional emergencies.

Health Empowerment in 10 Minutes
The BodyTalk Access program consists of going through the routine of tapping out all 5 techniques up to 7 days a week, depending upon one's level of stress and health. Once learned the techniques can be applied within 10 minutes.

Who benefits from the Access Program?
Anyone can benefit. While the program is designed for laypeople who want to assist themselves and others, health care professionals, are bringing the techniques into their private practices, clinics and hospitals. Teachers, Fire fighters, EMT's, and other care givers are among many who can assist the community with the Access Program.

BodyTalk Access Workshop

This workshop is taught in approximately 7 hours.

Techniques included in this workshop:

Cortices
The Cortices technique is designed to improve and balance the communication between the two halves of the brain. (It's like hitting the reset button on your brain's computer.) This will improve the efficiency of the brain — thereby improving overall health. Specific immediate effects include improvements in thinking ability, memory, concentration, stress reduction, feelings of wellbeing, and general physiological functioning of the body.

Switching
One of the common side effects of stress is the tendency for the mind to go into a "switching" mode — where normal brain coordination is compromised. This can show up as inattentiveness, poor decision-making, confusion, making silly mistakes, poor coordination, and mood swings. The "switched" person often reverses simple things like left and right; yes and no. The Switching technique can help restore normal brain function.

Hydration
The body is 70-80% water. All physiological processes in the cells, nerves, organs, and other structures are dependent upon a good supply of water. Even if someone drinks plenty of water, the body may not be utilizing it well. Very often the transportation of water across the cell membranes is compromised. The Hydration technique helps to correct the body's ability to fully use the water it has available — thereby greatly improving the efficiency of all physiological processes.

Body Chemistry
This amazing technique is designed to stimulate the immune system of the body into addressing many chronic and acute conditions. Often viruses, bacteria, and parasites are not effectively addressed by the body's immune system because of various imbalances in the body. The Body Chemistry technique can correct these imbalances so that the body can then restore health without the need for drug intervention. This technique also works to help the immune system address allergies, food intolerances, and accumulated toxins.

Reciprocals
The integrity of the structure of the body is critical for living a healthy and mobile life. The coordination of the muscles, balance of the muscle tone, and the unrestricted flow of energy through the body are all critical to healthy functioning at all levels of the bodymind complex. The Reciprocals technique involves reestablishing the integrity of the structures of the body and can have a significant effect on many forms of injuries, arthritis, circulatory issues, coordination patterns, spinal problems, and chronic pain.

Fast Aid Techniques
The BodyTalk Access system also includes an effective first aid system that is non-invasive, safe, and very simple. It will resolve simple issues as a stand alone technique. In serious conditions it is designed to be used safely until specialized health care arrives.

BodyTalk System Workshops
BodyTalk System™ workshops are taught as a modular system. Modules 1 and 2 are usually taught together over a 4-day period.

These seminars are open to health care professionals and laypeople. The techniques taught may be used upon course completion, however there is a certification process before the designation "Certified BodyTalk Practitioner, CBP" can be used.
