June 2003 Newsletter Happy Fathers Day BodyTalk System TM May 9th-13th I attended a seminar on the BodyTalk System TM in Cincinnati, Ohio. The website and brochures about this system boasts that it will change the way you look at health care forever. I have to admit it not only changed the way I look at healthcare, but also the way look at all the services offered at Accelerated Wellness. I really wish it were possible to do a BodyTalk System session on each and every clients first visit regardless of what the purpose of their visit is (bodywork or colon hydrotherapy). I would especially like to do a BodyTalk System session on a new colonic clients first visit rather than a colonic session. Why? BodyTalk may enhance the synchronization of the body's innate wisdom so that internal organs are more prepared for the release of toxins and the colon of fecal matter. In the past I've always believed a minimum of 12 colonic sessions are required for the removal of old fecal matter and toxins. Now however, I feel if a client were to include BodyTalk as part of their therapy, 12 sessions would probably not be necessary. Since I started offering colon hydrotherapy in 1998 a lot of clients have had tremendous success with this modality. It always seemed like the clients that had a huge turn around in their health were the ones that completed the series of 12 sessions. But, could there have been another reason? Could it have been this was the right sequence to balance and heal for those particular clients? What about the clients that did not seem to respond to colon hydrotherapy no matter what we did? An important consideration in the healing process is the specific sequence in which the body is stimulated to balance and heal its system and parts. Could my bias towards colon hydrotherapy have slowed down the healing process for those clients? What if the innate wisdom of their body actually wanted the adrenals tonified first (for stress)? What if by cleaning the colon it allowed the liver to cleanse when in fact the liver was not ready to cleanse until other system relationships were reestablished? There is also the possibility that the innate wisdom of their body knew this was not the proper sequence for healing, which was why their body did not respond to colon hydrotherapy. If you are a colon hydrotherapist and the above paragraph offends you, I encourage you to examine your bias and or agenda. I also encourage you to explore the BodyTalk Sytstem TM. The true causes underlying a disease or problem within the body are usually a combination of many different factors such as: dietary indiscretions, stress factors, emotional imbalance, environmental toxins, and physical injuries. After all, every person is unique. Each experiences different genetic makeups, personalities, belief systems, and environmental influences. There are also a score of other factors of which we are not aware, such as environmental relationship problems between an individual's energy field and the energy fields of people and objects within the sphere of interaction. As a therapist I cannot hope to fully understand the enormous complexity of these multiple relationships for everyone. Neither can I expect to work out a formula for dynamic health that will work on everyone. It is only the innate wisdom of the body that is capable of such a task. However, prior to learning BodyTalk, I did not know how to tap into this innate wisdom in a specific protocol to know what the body's priorities were. Innate Wisdom The body has an innate (inborn) ability to heal itself. I've known this for a long time which is why I've used reflexology, "Touch For Health", CRA and Emotional Balancing in my sessions. However, I felt there was still a better way to tap into the innate wisdom of the body and utilize it for the healing process. I truly believe the BodyTalk System has the way to do just that. For effective healing at the deepest level, I knew I must acknowledge this amazing tool that I have at my disposal, listen to it, and follow its instructions. I knew I had to throw out my agendas. Most people know that the body has a built-in mechanism that initiates the healing process in normal day-to-day activity. If we cut ourselves, the body immediately sets up a process to start healing the wound. This healing process occurs on all levels--physical, emotional, and mental. Our bodies only seem to be failing in the ability to heal when its communication systems have been severely compromised through the stresses of life and the interferences we impose upon it. The Body Talk System reestablishes a good communication system between the various parts of the body allowing it to heal itself, except in very serious and/or emergency situations. In the BodyTalk System, innate is defined as the body's inherent wisdom to "know" what it needs. The role of the practitioner is that of an intermediary who ascertains the body's needs, and facilitates its healing abilities. The practitioner does this by respecting the body's own priorities, rather than adhering to his own bias or agenda. Synchronization Versus Intervention The focus of most health care modalities, including colon hydrotherapy, has not been on the inborn communication system inherent within the bodymind. The focus has been on repairing the parts that appear to be problems and hoping that the body can then get those parts to synchronize. The new paradigm, as acknowledged in the BodyTalk System, states that the focus should be on enhancing the body's natural synchronization to enable it to repair its own parts more rapidly. The BodyTalk System is a combination of advanced yoga, advaitic philosophy, modern physics, mathematics, the energy dynamics of acupuncture, the clinical findings of applied kinesiology and Western medical expertise. It is a form of therapy that allows the body's energy systems to be synchronized so they can operate as nature intended. Since our energy systems become unsynchronized, primarily through exposure to the stresses of day-to-day life, resynchronization enables the body's mechanisms to function at optimum levels; preventing disease and rapidly accelerating the healing process. Success Using the BodyTalk System TM In the short time I've been practicing this system I have already witnessed the following improvements in clients: Hazel, a 73 year old client of 11 years. Hazel has severe osteoarthritis and many other internal problems. Hazel was so bent over she looked down when she walked, she simply could not look straight ahead. The first several weeks of Hazel's therapy consisted of reflexology sessions in a recliner as she could not lay on a massage table. With reflexology we managed to get Hazel straightened out enough to lay on the table so we could also do massage therapy. Over the years we made quite a bit of progress with Hazel's posture but could not seem to find a solution for her digestive disorders, it seemed like no matter what we tried including digestive enzymes Hazel simply could not tolerate them. Two years ago Hazel fell breaking her left elbow and ribs on her left side and she was unable to come for sessions for several months. As a result of the fall Hazel had three surgeries on her left elbow. These surgeries seemed to take a great deal out of her. When she was able to return for therapy we managed to maintain her condition but simply could not seem to get back to where she was prior to the fall and the surgeries. In fact, we were loosing ground as Hazel was once again looking down to walk and reflexology was not helping this time. Nothing seemed to be helping. Hazel was one of the first clients I practiced BodyTalk on. One of the first links that was made with BodyTalk was the brain to the stomach. When this was tapped out her stomach started gurgling and carrying on. When Hazel got off the table she was standing more erect and was not looking down to walk. I wish I had taken before and after pictures as I couldn't believe it myself. By the way Hazel also started taking Cellfood which is the only supplement she has been able to take that has not caused her any digestive problems. The Friday following Hazel's first BT session her daughter calls me just raving about the change in her mother's posture and also makes an appointment for her 3 year old son, Jeremiah. Jeremiah was born with a spider web type cyst on the base of his brain stem. Doctors decided not to do surgery because of the location of the cyst. When Liz called and scheduled the appointment she started to tell me all the problems the cyst was causing for Jeremiah but I told her I did not want to know as I wanted Jeremiahs body to tell me the priorities. After the session, we discussed the links that were made. The first link was an adhesion above the left collar bone in the neck area. The doctors had performed some sort of microscopic surgery in this area. There was no visible scar tissue and Liz had not told me about this surgery thus I thought I was doing something wrong, but followed the innate wisdom of the body anyhow. The link was to the occipital region of the reptilian brain. After just two BodyTalk sessions, Jeremiah is going to the bathroom more frequently with less accidents and has more energy. Liz is really excited about this technique and is looking forward to what future BodyTalk sessions may do to help Jeremiah. Lori, a new client was scheduled for both the LymphStar Pro and colon hydrotherapy. Upon her arrival I suggested we do BodyTalk first.( It is very difficult to try and explain BodyTalk over the phone.) Dehydration of and parasites in the colon came up during the session, we tapped them out. Digestion also came up as a priority. At the end of the session I asked her body if colon hydrotherapy was a priority and her body said "NO". Thus we finished the session with the LymphStar Pro, which was a priority. If I had followed my old agendas we would of done what the Lori had been scheduled for. As I mentioned in the first paragraph BT has changed the way I look at the therapies offered at Accelerated Wellness as well. Betty, a long time massage client with fibromyalgia and simply will not do colon hydrotherapy, has been complaining of gaining inches around her waist although she has not been gaining weight. Water retention has been a problem. During her session parasites came up as a priority as did the kidneys. The following week when Betty was in she had lost 1&1/4 inches from around her waist and told me she had noticed what looked like pepper, but much blacker, floating on top of the water in the toilet. Were they parasites? Probably! Rachel, another massage client for several years has always had lots of pain in her left arm. With MRT TM, deep tissue massage, acupressure I could relieve it for days but we always spent time working on her arm in every session, with the exception of her session on 6/7/03. Two weeks earlier we did BT, emotional issues linked to the large intestine meridian came up as a priority. After tapping out the links Rachel told me her arm has never felt this good. Amazing what a tapping on the head and chest can do once you find the priorities the body needs in order to heal itself. There are several other clients that have benefited from BodyTalk with emotional disorders, pain, and even phobias but the above are the most mentionable.
