My Spiritual Quest

In 2004/2005 I was living in West End which is close to the Brisbane CBD. This was shortly after my accident and I was continuing my weekly trips to the P.A. Hospital to visit an Occupational Therapist. I really enjoyed living in West End, I still have fond memories.

I was slowly getting back into my self development work again. Something that I ignored for too long. Across the road from where I was living was a hall that offered all types of therapies including Bowen, Reiki, Pilaties and something I’ve never heard of called BodyTalk, I was intrigued and booked a session. A lovely lady called Jacleen was my practitioner. Basically I would lay down and she would ask questions, not to me but to my body and then tap on my head or different areas of my body and it would give her a yes or no answer. It seemed that my body would guide her to different areas and ask different questions. I had I think 3 sessions with her and it was very interesting and I came out of the sessions the most relaxed I had felt for a long time. Jacleen did mention that I may want to sleep straight after which I did. I needed to do a lot of healing at that time in my life and it would have helped for sure.

Here is an except from the Australian BodyTalk web site that gives a better definition (click here to visit their site):

During a BodyTalk session, the practitioner facilitates communication with the innate wisdom of the body by using neuromuscular biofeedback. By following a comprehensive protocol of questions, the client’s body leads the practitioner to identify the priority imbalances within the body.

The practitioner may then hold the areas identified and tap softly on the head and the sternum. This stimulates the brain to re-evaluate the state of the body’s health and reestablish communication in those identified areas. Stimulating the heart forces the heart to store the energy pattern in the body’s cellular memory.

BodyTalk ensures the body can function and operate at optimal level, which accelerates the healing process and promotes health, harmony and vitality. BodyTalk teaches the body to return to and maintain a healthy state of balance.

Just as the body heals a wound with a particular sequencing of chemical reactions, the body wants to address all healing in a certain order. The BodyTalk protocol enables the practitioner to identify and address the weakened energy circuits in the body in the order of priority that the body needs to address them in.

Clients of BodyTalk have shown improvement in numerous areas, including:
