Attilio,

 

I'm certified in Levels 1 and 2.

 

That was about 8 years ago, so I'm very rusty with the skill set, but I can

tell you the gist.

John Veltheim, DC and L.Ac. ( founder of the Brisbane Acupuncture College in

Australia),

mixes applied kinesiology with a tapping technique he learned from an

ayurvedic-type practitioner.

The basic premise is that our innate intelligence is connected with the

macrocosmic mind

and that our body/mind/spirit can tell us things that our brain has a hard

time filtering out.

There are no subluxation adjustments or direct physical manual manipulation,

 

other than using the deltoid muscle for a reflex response.

Somewhere in your practice, you can muscle test using the body's wei qi /

aura/ reiki-like field, whatever you call it

and not have to do the gross muscle tests.

You ask the mind/body matrix questions based on priority of imbalance and

re-communicate it in the priority that it wants you to.

The communication is the treatment and it happens on very subtle levels.

 

Sounds like science-fiction, but it works.

Veltheim is kind of a genius and the system works as good as your

sensitivity and humility allows.

Also, the more knowledge you have about the body works, the more efficient

your questions will be for the patient's body.

You don't have to ask these questions out loud, but the body will tell you

through it's stress/ no stress responses.

I think that skilled acupuncturists are already doing this on an intuitive

level, but may or may not be verbalizing it.

We are connecting with the heart when we take the radial pulse.

The BodyTalk System works through many layers of interconnecting

physiological and psychological networks

in the priority that the mind/body wants to and ulitimately the macrocosm

wants to.

Based on yes/no questions and answers from muscle testing, you go through a

" Windows software " like program

to release deeper and deeper mis-communications between systems.

 

That being said, it takes dedication and $ to go through the training

www.bodytalksystems.com

It's not for everyone. If you think Reiki is foo-foo, there's a lot of that

in this system.

Veltheim and his wife are big-time Reiki and Zen practitioners.

Most of the practitioners are either acupuncturists, chiropractors, massage

therapists or non professionals.

It's a little hard for most of the public to accept it, because even

acupuncture is still seen as a little left-field.

So, it may be a modality that needs another decade before it can be accepted

by the mainstream...

You can say that is yellow/turquoise meme material in the spiral dynamics

model (very integrational in its makeup):

The website is www.bodytalksystems.com.

 

This modality is totally amazing, as I go twice a month for treatment, as do 2

of my children. The book is a quick read and gives a brief overview of the

process.

 

This process is so incredible, that MDs, DC as well as acupuncturists are giving

up their " traditional " practices and doing BodyTalk instead. The stories I hear

from seasoned practitioners of BodyTalk are nothing short of miraculous in most

cases.

 

Not only is chiro and acupuncture involved, but also cranial sacral protocols

and other healing modalities.

 

John Veltheim is the originator and is also an acupuncturist and a chiropractor,

among many other things!

 

Check it out, as it is has truly blown me away with its effectiveness.

A snippet from the website:

 

The body is a complex and amazing mechanism, with each of its systems, cells and

atoms in constant communication. Unfortunately, the stresses of everyday life

can compromise these lines of communications or overload the energy circuits. To

address this, the BodyTalk System provides a simple and effective form of

therapy that allows the body’s systems to be re-synchronized so they can operate

as nature intended – and effectively respond to injury and illness.

 

The practitioner then taps the client on the sternum to “announce” the corrected

energy flows to the rest of the body. This is beneficial because the heart is

responsible for communicating the state of the body’s health to the rest of the

body. Stimulating the heart by tapping the sternum forces the heart to store the

corrected energy patterns in the body’s cellular memory. This means that the

body will remember these changes after the treatment.

The BodyTalk treatment protocol is straightforward and requires no diagnoses.

The practitioner relies on the guidance of the body’s natural wisdom to not only

locate the weakened lines of communication but also to find the proper order in

which they are to be addressed.

 

Just as the body heals a wound with a particular sequence of chemical reactions,

the body wants to address all healing in a certain order. This concept is

paramount in the balancing process to initiate the body’s ability to heal

itself. The healing process usually follows rather quickly.

Bodytalk sounds like an interesting supplemental therapy for

chiropractors and acupuncturists, but any acupuncturist who would give

up their 'traditional' practice for something as relatively new and

superficial as bodytalk must not really be versed in depth in their

own training. It reminds me of the NAET fad that hit the profession a

few years ago.

Seconding Z'ev's response. (But not attributing any of the tone below to

him.)

 

Something about the aura, so to speak, of utterances like:

kind of a genius

it takes dedication and $

totally amazing

so incredible

nothing short of miraculous in most cases

blown me away

a simple and effective form of therapy

straightforward and requires no diagnoses

 

raises red- or at least orange-flags. Especially the last item --- no

diagnosis. More faith healing than a medical approach?

 

Not that the experienced effectiveness is not often genuine.

 

Reminds me of speaker at an early Pacific Symposium, with charming

charisma, and a system that appeared attractive, up to a statement to

the effect that it doesn't work with every client, just those who (the

speaker) can resonate with, in some sense.

 

Around that time, James Williams, teacher at PCOM, had impressed upon us

what he considered an essential quality of a true medicine: That you can

get it to work irrespective of your own momentary condition (up to par,

in the dumps, or whatever), and irrespective of whether you're attracted

to the case or not, whether the patient matches your expectations or

not. Admittedly this viewpoint is a bit extreme, bordering on perhaps an

impersonal, scientific sort of bias. (How to reconcile this with

" resonance " , as Ted Kaptuck translates a key phrase in the neijing?) But

it does represent a certain kind of value that I believe is useful to

use somewhere in our self-monitoring awareness (as a profession).

 

Perhaps a constructive approach would be in the direction of the test of

time and tradition formation.

Chris,

 

" Kind of a genius " and " it takes dedication and $ " can also apply to dozens

of Chinese medical practitioner over the centuries, including Jeffrey Yuen

and the fact that it takes years of focused study and tuition $ or service

to be able to apply Chinese medical principles attests to its greatness. I

would be more wary of something like the American Reiki movement which could

somehow be mastered within a weekend and $500, because of the transmission

between so called " masters " and " students " .

I do agree that " requires no diagnoses " is a false description of the

Bodytalk system. You have to use your intellect as well as intuition to

form a diagnosis. Diagnosis holds the meaning of a " knowing " " through

knowledge " http://www.wordempire.blogspot.com/

The difference is that in the Bodytalk system, the gnosis comes from

listening to the body (applied kinesiology), which is said to have an innate

intelligence through communication with the macrocosm. This is more akin to

the " gnosis " of the " gnostics " which was received directly from the God-head

(macrocosm) to the person (microcosm), instead of having to pay 10% to

confess your sins.

 

I agree that anyone who would give up their medical practice to only apply

Bodytalk is wasting their knowledge, because Bodytalk helps to integrate

whatever you already know through a " software " like organization of many

techniques into a cohesive modality. If you don't have much knowledge

about the anatomy for instance, you can't ask the pertinent questions in

Bodytalk to get to deeper healing. If you don't know anything about

acupuncture or classical theory, then you are limited by what you don't

know, not by what you do know. If you come in with a lot of knowledge and a

keen sense of investigation and sensitivity, then you can go much farther

than someone who has not put in the difficult years into acquiring that

knowledge.

 

I think that more importantly to debate/ expand on are two ideas that are

integral aspects of Bodytalk that are not as emphasized in TCM:

In Bodytalk, the first thing you have to do is get the person's permission

on 4 levels (1. subtle soul level (hun/po), 2. emotional body, 3. mental

body and 4. physical body. If you don't have permission, you have to get

permission from all of these levels. Furthermore, the modality that a

practitioner chooses may not be the one that the patient's

soul/emotional/mental/physical body wants at that time. For instance, not

every body wants to be poked with needles all of the time. Not every body

wants herbs or specifically certain herbs in certain dosages. Using applied

kinesiology can help to get more specificity in your practice. (Of course,

if you don't believe in its efficacy, you won't practice it anyway). There

are lines in the Chinese classics which say that you have to connect to the

patient's shen first... Ling shu Chap 8.. 1st lines of the Jia yi jing.

 

Secondly, there is a priority in the modalities and the acupoints or manual

therapy locations that the patient wants to be treated with.

For instance, it may be more efficacious to needle ST 36 before LV 3,

because the body doesn't have enough Qi or Blood to move around or it may be

better to needle LV 3 before ST 36 because the stagnant Qi/Blood needs to be

moved out before new fresh Qi and Blood can be generated.... (This is a

very generic example). What Bodytalk contends is that the patient's body

(innate intelligence) knows what to do better than the practitioner's

intellect can assume. There is a humility and respect inherent in this

understanding.

 

Of anything that I learned in the 1st 2 modules, I think that *Permission*and

*Priority* are 2 elements that can be integrated more into our own

practices, no matter what modalities we practice.

Don't knock it until you try it. I have seen some AMAZING and quick

resolution of problems with this modality. I wouldn't give up

acupuncture or any other protocol I spent my time learning because

not everyone needs the same methods. But it is well worth your time

to learn this protocol.

John,

 

You're right. I've been through a several of such " bright faith " phases

of study / quasi apprenticeships. Until you've really worked at it for

years ( " verified faith " ), you can't really truly judge the value.

 

One of these (learning " medical " aura-reading & treatment with Robert

Jaffe, MD) left me with a prejudice as to Reiki stuff. Jaffe considered

it a method of " alien war-lords from a distant planet " . In the end, his

system itself seemed to me a bit alien.

 

AK also triggers reactions. Starting with running into Dr. Ommura (as in

the O-ring), at the first Pacific Symposium (1989). He was suffering

from heavy jet lag, so was particular ornery, and repeatedly put-down

the Chinese (for wrong point locations). (I was gung-ho TCM then.)

 

A year or two later, we had training sessions, from a couple of fellow

students in AK (O-ring technique), and I felt it was faked the whole

way. There is information there in such methods, but all instances

(many) I've witnessed (studied and been subject to in

diagnostic-treatment sessions) it seemed, at best, a healing practice

more than a medical one.

 

Your " priority " point is well-taken. And is a critical skill.

Discernment along these lines, imo, is vital to successful practice, and

can only ultimately be learned for oneself (even on the basis of

whatever depth of traditional / oral study and apprenticeship).

 

The " permission " issue is more fuzzy. The 1-2-3-4 level ordering and

names could be debated. The relationship between " getting the person's

permission " and the " resonance " that the classics (and Jeffery Yuen

among many others) teach (and Ted Kaptchuk attempted to interpret –-

taped lecture ca. 1990) is not self-obvious.

 

I've encountered patients who, for instance, won't take a prescribed

herbal bottle or package (raw) until they've held it in their hand and

felt its " vibrations " . Have to respect that in practice, in the sense of

allowing them their own decision.

 

Thanks for the feedback,

I'm pretty sure a goodly number of youse out there know about Dr. Mat

Van Beschoten (sp?)here in So Cal. Anyway, he's regarded as a bit of

an herbal genius. It seems he also derives a diagnosis from applied

kinesiology.

 

He has an interesting O-ring application using different fingers. It

turns out the the biophotonic emissions from the fingers differ and he

uses this knowledge to diagnose and uses applied kinesiology again to

determine the appropriate herbs. In speaking with one practitioner,

he began getting much better results once applying these methods.

Patients tend to respond positively, especially those with excess

conditions.

 

Bodytalk strikes me as being similar. Since it applies tapping and

I've experienced better, faster, and deeper results with EFT than with

needles and herbs, I've little doubt about this technique's merits.

Of course, needles and herbs work wonders as does my inhaler.

 

The thing that has fascinated me most about Bodytalk is the universe

of queries posed to the body. Since Chinese medicine is v. keen on

discerning levels at which disorders occur, I find this technique a

darn fascinating elaboration upon the concept while providing a

" brain-free " mode of detection.
