The Preventative Health Journal - Australia & New Zealand

As many of us now, stress is the number one cause of disease in the world because it causes the natural communication lines in the body to break down.

When the body's communication is compromised, injury and illness can occur.

According to Sharon Gelber and Lilo Kunz, who run regular BodyTalk sessions in Sydney, your body is designed to heal itself. They say that when all the parts and systems of the body communicate with each other, healing happens naturally.

However, stress can cause communication breakdowns, resulting in discomfort and disease.

BodyTalk identifies these breakdowns and uses a light tapping technique to restore communication, helping the body to heal itself.

A one day workshop: BodyTalk Access, has been developed to teach health professionals and the general public some of the most simple, yet profound techniques of the BodyTalk System.

Those who attend Sharon and Lilo's BodyTalk Access courses are taught how to use these techniques to bring balance and healing back to themselves and their family.

Dr. John John Veltheim, the creator of BodyTalk, is a chiropractor, traditional acupuncturist, philosopher and teacher.

He developed the BodyTalk System in 1995. The system and its related wellness and personal growth programs draw on the natural consciousness of the body to bring stability, well-being and balance to people.

He has studied kinesiology, bioenergetic medicine, psychology, osteopathy, sports medicine, counselling, comparative philosophy and theology and has brought elements of all these modalities into the BodyTalk System.

Veltheim says that BodyTalk never claims to treat diseases. Instead, the emphasis is on addressing the underlying factors of disease and maintaining the health of the body.

One of the main philosophies of BodyTalk is that if the body is functioning well - that is, all the lines of communication are there and all the organs are communicating and operating at their optimum level - then the body itself can maintain health, or facilitate the self-healing of day-to-day ailments.

He adds that, like every other system, there are limitations to this, such as with certain conditions or injuries that require surgery or drug therapy.  In these cases, BodyTalk assists the body with pre- and post surgical healing and reduces side effects of strong medication.

But the techniques have been used in midwifery, sports medicine, rehabilitation, addiction and many practitioners are using BodyTalk in their clinics daily to address the day-to-day ailments of their clients.

It is used to help with the following conditions (amongst many others):

- Allergies
