The Natural and Gentle Treatment The BodyTalk System™ facilitates communication with the innate wisdom of the body by using neuromuscular biofeedback. (The client’s hand is tested for yes/no responses through kinesiology.) When an imbalance is found or a link needs to be established (the client’s hand gives a “yes” response), the areas are touched by the client and practitioner (sometimes on the skin). The practitioner then taps on the head and sternum to activate and store the connection. The gentle tapping over both halves of the brain energetically alerts the person’s brain that there are corrections to be made. Tapping the heart energy complex is an ancient Hatha Yoga technique that Dr. Veltheim has adapted in the BodyTalk System™ to integrate the correction into the body’s memory banks. This integration of body, heart and mind is what allows the body to achieve deep and lasting healing. IBA - International BodyTalk Association In which countries is the modality practiced?
