A Brief BodyTalk™ Philosophy and Orientation
You are about to embark on a healing journey unlike anything you have ever experienced before.
Please recognize that you may or may not notice anything obvious in the first few sessions. BodyTalk™ can be very subtle, but you definitely are building the foundation for your body to heal. Eliminating the response of "We'll see..." or "It must be (something else...)" when you DO notice that you are feeling better allows you access to strongly re-claim your power in the healing process.
It is MOST IMPORTANT to realize that what the body needs first may NOT be what WE THINK it needs! Whatever occurs will happen in the appropriately prioritized sequence to rebalance and heal the symptoms you are experiencing now. Also, please be aware that BodyTalk™ practitioners DO NOT heal you, and neither does BodyTalk™; it is a non-diagnostic catalyst for your body to heal itself. Healing is about going to the ROOT CAUSE of an imbalance, NOT just alleviating symptoms.
As a BodyTalk™ Practitioner, I establish a healing environment — in the physical setting as well as interactively — so you are comfortable, positive and relaxed enough to focus on the healing techniques. Receiving a BodyTalk™ session is relaxing, pleasant and as educational as it is interesting: you may learn how your body handles balancing mind, body and spirit for optimal health. Generally between 5–10 sessions are needed to obtain very positive results, but this varies according to how open and focused you are during the session, how ready you are to be well, and how "embedded" your challenge is.
At the conclusion of your session, although it is not necessary to talk, I recommend if you are comfortable sharing what you have felt or noticed that you do so. I have seen that the more someone can release, the quicker their healing progresses. You always have a choice whether to continue a session or not, and any discussion is always confidential.
