“In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.” Albert Szent-Györgyi
BodyTalk:
The Body is a complex balance between physiological biochemical functions, emotional interactions, environmental influences, and hereditary influences.
Many people go through life carrying burdens of stress. These cycles of stress can include not enough sleep, not having the proper nutrients, not enough exercise, relationship issues, financial worry, emotional stress, etc. If we keep seeing things as stress, we keep the stress/emergency mode running and the healing/relaxing/ or resting modes are not being fed. Additionally, as humans we tend to tell everyone about our stresses (so they understand our drama) but every time we tell our story it functions to keep the stress mode going and the resting/relaxing/healing modes are still starving.
Why are we attached to our stories? What is the insecurity that keeps us attached to our story? How does the insecurity serve us? When we have all these stories running in the background it is the same as having too many tabs open on your computer or phone and it just slows us down, exhausts us and creates memory recall issues.
If we look at the subconscious mind, we see that one of its rolls is to predict (hear a sound move out of the way). We can, however, get caught in a cycle of stress (sympathetic overload/ fight or flight) where the subconscious mind believes we are not safe. This can manifest as stomach aches, sore shoulders, restlessness, or freezing instead of responding to different events. Subconscious reactions can be like addictions (addictions to people pleasing, eating, cleaning, reading… anything that helps us avoid dealing with the emotion or reaction. This can include the subtle emotions of falling into patterns of “that is life”; “that is just the way it is”; “I am surviving”. They are all ways of avoiding how we feel. When we can stop and observe our reactions or how we feel, that is when we can change them.
This is where BodyTalk helps release the attachment to our stories. It helps to bring in another way for the body/mind to look at the story. It is like a reset button for the nervous system. Bodytalk combines the wisdom of ancient medicines (Chinese and Ayurveda) with modern science. The techniques are simple and non-invasive and help the body to release attachment to stresses, and unhealthy patterns and reminds the body of its amazing ability to heal itself.
We use neuromuscular feedback (discovered in the 1960’s) for yes/no answers to highlight the areas in the body that are ready to shift and release tension, or belief systems, or stuck emotions or just bring the awareness of the body’s amazing ability to heal itself.
We us tapping over the head, heart and gut. The tapping in BodyTalk is used to interrupt the connection to stress by highlighting the why we are attached to our story. It is like closing the extra open tabs on your computer so the body can function more efficiently and not be overwhelmed.
Our beliefs about the world affect our physiology. The field of epigenetics has discovered that our beliefs even rewrite our genetic code. (Genetics is the hardware for the body and epigenetics is the software.)
Dr. James Oschman has a wonderful book called Energy Medicine that helps explain the science behind the Bodytalk. Quantum physics states that reality is dependent on the observation of a conscious observer. The key to health is then in what we choose to observe. Examining our own beliefs and views allows us to be more open and accepting of ourselves. As a closet reactionary you can cope just fine, but your body will reap even more damage from stress. Your emotions may be in check, but the stress of imploding them will often show in physical, mental, and emotional disease – cancer, depression, ulcers, migraine headaches, immune system disorders, heart disease etc.
Dr. Candace Pert, Ph. D.: “The molecules of emotion, and their receptors, are found in every cell in the body. Any state of mind is mimicked by the immune system.”
William Ross Adey, M.D. (1922- 2004) observed that tissues respond to very tiny energy fields of the appropriate frequencies. The more subtle the force, the greater the impact – allows to get into the quantum mechanics.
A man is not sick because he has an illness, but has an illness because he is sick. Disease or illness typically develops in the energy field first before physical symptoms appear.
