BodyTalk Energy Work

BodyTalk is healthcare designed by your body


BodyTalk is a simple and effective holistic therapy that allows the body’s energy system to be re-synchronized so they can operate as nature intended. When a body is operating at it’s optimal level, each system, cell, and atom is in constant communication with one another at all times. Through exposure the stresses of day to day life, however, these lines of communication can become compromised, which then leads to a decline in physical, emotional and/or mental well-being. Reconnecting these lines of communication enables the body’s internal mechanisms to function at optimal levels, thus repairing and preventing disease while rapidly accelerating the healing process. In this way, BodyTalk stimulates the body’s innate ability to balance and heal itself on all levels.

What BodyTalk Can Do

BodyTalk balances and heals the body mind complex holistically. Naturally, most clients arrive for a session with a health concern, and this concerns addressed. However, instead of treating specific ailments, BodyTalk recognizes that every person has a unique balance that should be addressed. Once balanced, the client’s own innate healing wisdom will successfully address specific symptoms and establish lasting patterns of good health. Clinical experience has shown that once overall systems are balanced through BodyTalk, clients have exhibited significant improvement in areas including, but not limited to:

  • Arthritis
  • Allergies
  • Back Pain
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Chronic Pain
  • Digestive Disorders
  • Emotional Disorders
  • Endocrine Disorders
  • Headaches
  • Infections
  • Learning Disorders
  • Phobias
  • Sleep Disorders
  • Sports Injuries
  • Sports Performances
  • Stress
  • Viruses

The natural healing force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well.

Common Questions

What is BodyTalk?

The BodyTalk System was created by Dr. John Veltheim, an Australian chiropractor, acupuncturist, philosopher, and author. John was the principal of the Brisbane College of Acupuncture and Natural Therapies for several years. His extensive post graduate studies include: applied kinesiology, bio-energetic therapy, osteopathy, sports medicine, counseling and comparative philosophy, and theology. John’s books on The BodyTalk System have been translated into many languages, and the system is being taught in over 35 countries.

Where is BodyTalk Practiced?

Currently there are about 3000 BodyTalk Practitioners world-wide and about 100 instructors teaching BodyTalk in over 35 countries with translations in several languages; English, German, Italian, Swedish, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, and Hebrew. To offer support for BodyTalk Practitioners globally, additional offices are operating in Germany and Australia, while other regions such as Brazil and South Africa are in line for the near future.

How Does BodyTalk Work?

During a BodyTalk session, the practitioner facilitates communication with the innate wisdom of the body by using neuromuscular biofeedback. After asking Innate a series of yes/no questions, the client’s own body wisdom leads the practitioner to locate the imbalances within the body that are a priority, or are not communicating correctly and are out of balance with the rest of the body. Next, the practitioner holds the areas that have been highlighted by the questioning procedure and taps gently on the head and the sternum. By tapping on the head, the brain becomes aware of and repairs the communication link. Tapping on the sternum, or heart, ensures that the new information is stored throughout the whole body.

This process guarantees the mechanisms of the body can function and operate at optimal levels, which in turn accelerates the healing process, thus preventing future imbalances within those highlighted areas. The BodyTalk practitioner is teaching the body to return itself to balance.

What is the ``Innate Wisdom`` of the Body?

BodyTalk is based on the principle that the body is capable of healing itself at all levels – as evidenced by the healing process that is automatically initiated when a person cuts a finger or twists an ankle. This automatic, self-guided healing process is part of the body’s inborn intelligence, or “innate wisdom”, as we call it in BodyTalk. The innate wisdom guides the overall functioning of the bodymind complex, synchronizes all the activities as well as maintains balance, or homeostasis, within the bodymind complex.

Why is BodyTalk Effective?

Because BodyTalk allows the body’s own healing abilities to effect change, clients see long-lasting, ongoing improvements in health rather than short-term symptomatic relief. It is simple and effective, non-invasive and completely safe. BodyTalk can be used as a stand-alone system that can address many health problems or can be seamlessly integrated into any healthcare system to increase its overall effectiveness and promote faster healing.

How Does Stress Affect Our Health?

Stress has a profound effect on the body and its ability to heal and function at an optimal level. When an individual experiences ongoing stress, it can overload the energetic circuits of the body, causing them to fail or be severely compromised. This is just like plugging too many appliances into an outlet and tripping a circuit breaker in your home. You have blown a fuse and must go reset it. Often times the body cannot reset these blown circuits on its own, so the body then must continue to function in a less than ideal state. This ultimately leads to degeneration, illness and pain in the body, a sign that it is simply falling behind in the healing process. Stress-related illnesses include, but are not limited to: high blood pressure and heart rate, digestive disorders, hormone and endocrine imbalances, fatigue, infertility issues and all manner of immune system disorders.

Energetic Circuits and Communication

Every single cell, atom, and system is in constant communication with every other cell, atom and system within the bodymind complex at all times. This includes communication through the nervous system, as well as the other subtle energy circuits of the body – such as the meridians and the electromagnetic frequencies that are produced by the body through its functioning. Stress we experience in our daily life can cause these circuits to become compromised, weakening or disrupting the communication between the cells and systems.

BodyTalk helps to re-establish these energetic circuits and efficient communication in a quick and effective way, which then allows the body to very quickly recover and catch up in the healing process. This is witnessed in how quickly symptoms disappear and function returns, often within just one or two BodyTalk sessions.

Trusting the Body’s Wisdom

Just as the body heals a wound with a particular sequence of bio-chemical, physical and energetic responses, the body addresses all healing in a certain order. This concept is vital in the BodyTalk balancing process to encourage the body’s ability to heal itself by the fastest means possible.

The BodyTalk Practitioner relies on the guidance of the body’s natural wisdom to not only locate the weakened or broken lines of communication and establish how to re-connect them, but also to find the proper order in which they are to be restored. This is accomplished through a form of neuromuscular biofeedback, by which the practitioner is able to ask the body yes-or-no questions and receive answers directly from the body about the sequence for re-establishing these lines of communication.
