BodyTalk System in Radical Remission Research
by Christine Wagner

Recently, I had several new clients contact me. They had all heard about BodyTalk from the same book. It is a book that examines a great variety of therapies and methods that have contributed to the remission of severe or life-threatening illness. The book is Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds by researcher and psychotherapist Kelly A. Turner. Not all of my new clients have cancer, but all of them intuitively felt that there are mental and emotional aspects to their healing process that require the unique support that BodyTalk can offer.
Turner specializes in integrative oncology. She holds a BA from Harvard Medical School and a PhD from UC Berkeley. Her PhD research focused on over 1,000 cases of radical remission worldwide that defied serious or terminal cancer and where the disease was completely reversed. She investigated the unique therapies and treatments the people underwent and found a common theme: Each person bravely took responsibility for their own healing process and made radical life changes. They quit demanding jobs, reserved time to consciously laugh with their children, started to love their cancer, regularly listened to morning bird song, and the list goes on.

In Hawaii, Dr. Turner met Karen “Maya” Sorensen, a local BodyTalk practitioner who shared BodyTalk at an outdoor market. The two spent an afternoon together talking about the BodyTalk System. During her research, other people had mentioned BodyTalk as well. 

Those who practice BodyTalk or have experienced sessions with a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner know that each body has the innate wisdom to know what it needs to heal. So unsurprisingly, only two of Turner’s nine chapters—each of which reflects the top nine actions people took to survive cancer—cover changes in nutrition and dietary supplements. The other seven address mental, emotional and spiritual changes. The “Following Your Intuition” chapter mentions BodyTalk. Additionally, the chapter called “Releasing Suppressed Emotions” addresses BodyTalk and suggests it as one of the possible “Action Steps.” 

            
If you work with cancer clients, this book could open new perspectives for them. It is definitely an ode to the preciousness of life. For more information about the book and personal stories about radical remissions using all types of healing strategies, visit radicalremission.com. For more information on how BodyTalk has both supported and helped to heal those working through a cancer diagnosis, view the BodyTalk testimonials page here or reach out to a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner here. Many of us have worked with clients with cancer and would love to share our own stories.

Meet Christine
If you could be doing anything in the world at this moment, what would it be? Catching waves at the North Shore of the Spanish island Fuerteventura with my surf-soul-sister.

If you had to change your name, what would you change it to and why? I am happy with my name, and having worked in the cultural scene, I am especially happy with my last name—”Wagner” referring to the composer Richard Wagner, and an architect whose Jugend Style work (Jugendstil) I am fond of, Otto Wagner.
What is the best piece of advice you were ever given? Remember: We do not have any control! (From many BodyTalk instructors over the years.)
Do you have a favorite personal saying or mantra? All is in divine order! (From my mom.)
Why BodyTalk, Access or the Life Sciences? BodyTalk has changed my life. A tooth problem 12 years ago was just one “little'“ change. After just one BodyTalk session, the infection was gone. Over the years, my need for perfection, hard work, and the idea of having control over myself, others and life has changed completely. And whenever people leave my BodyTalk Access classes with less or no more back- or shoulder-pain, headaches or tiredness, I am so grateful! BodyTalk makes me happy and many others too!

Christine Wagner (originally German) lives near the Dutch North Sea coast. She studied art history and worked in the international culture scene for more than 20 years. Wherever she travelled, she was sharing BodyTalk. She has studied BodyTalk since 2008. Since 2018, Christine has been a full-time CBP. Years ago, her former dentist, who has Parkinson’s, suggested Christine try BodyTalk before undergoing a root canal treatment. Christine still has this particular tooth and has been fascinated by the BodyTalk System ever since. In 2018, she became a BodyTalk Access Trainer and is teaching on- and offline in several languages. She loves swimming and surfing. Christine is also a PaRama Practitioner and in the process of finalizing her AdvCBP training.

We are amazingly complex beings and if we develop any pain, stress, anxiety, disease, fear or addiction we need to find harmony and balance in all of the systems that comprise our body, mind and soul if we are to find true healing as opposed to a temporary fix.  
 
It is accepted thinking that to cure any malaise we just need to take a pill, and to console our anxieties and fear we eat more comfort foods and escape into our fantasy worlds, and to suppress our emotional pain we drink more alcohol, smoke or take drugs.  When experiencing conflict, we often fall back on one or all of the above on a regular basis.  On some level we know that this is not working for us, but we believe that the above is far easier than addressing all the underlying aspects that influence our suffering.  This belief is a huge misunderstanding and disservice to the magnificent you. This lifestyle greatly impacts our bodies ability to maintain a healthy and responsive immune system.
 
During this time of a global pandemic it is essential that we understand how to support and strengthen our immunity, as those with a compromised wellbeing are the most vulnerable.  Using applied Kinesiology and structured intuition, BodyTalk Practitioners can identify what deep seated beliefs and fears impact your wellbeing.  The more we can know ourselves within the more we understand that we:

• Have a choice, 
• are deeply loved, 
• are okay,
• are safe,  
• have the power and responsibility to manifest a more empowering, loving and abundant life.  

 
Clients are taught tapping and visualization techniques so they can help themselves during times of stress.   During sessions the Practitioner helps your cells, organs, endocrines, 11 systems of the body (Cardiac, Digestive, Urinary, etc.) body parts, energy systems (Meridians, Chakras, Wei Qi etc), different levels of consciousness, soul, hereditary aspects and environmental aspects to balance and harmonize.  The more we can reduce the stress in our bodies the more our bodies can move out of fight and flight and shift into rest and digest.
 
 The BodyTalk System is a non-invasive healing technique based on Eastern and Western medicinal sciences, yogic principles, applied kinesiology and quantum physics. The you you are now is shaped by the sum of all your histories. Your lifestyle, worldview, genetics, emotional and physical experiences and all of the choices you have made throughout your life have an impact on the communication between the different parts of your body. 

Each BodyTalk Session is personalised to your body's highest priority:

• By addressing the bigger picture of your health, not just the symptoms but the multifaceted causes of your physical and emotional wellbeing, and
• By allowing your body to draw attention to what most needs to be adjusted,

sessions can give you the awareness of what you need to shift and change so that you can step into your full wellness and potential.
 
What can I do now to improve my wellbeing:

• Make an appointment with a BodyTalk Practitioner https://www.bodytalknederland.nl/zoek-een-therapeut.html
• Watch the Video on how and why one should tap out your Cortices on a daily basis. https://www.bodytalknederland.nl/
• Attend a BodyTalk Access class https://www.bodytalknederland.nl/bodytalk-access.html
• Drink water
• Focus on deep breathing especially when you are feeling stressed.
• Practice meditation

​BodyTalk in tijd van Covid-19
 
In deze hectische tijd rondom de Covid -19 pandemie zouden wij graag wat voor jou willen betekenen. Het RIVM raadt ons aan om contact in de praktijk zoveel mogelijk te vermijden. Dit is wat wij als BodyTalk practitioners ook aanhouden. 
 
Nu iedereen zoveel mogelijk thuis is, hebben wij -en ook onze dieren, wel voeding en spullen nodig. En zo komen we via boodschappen en/of werk toch nog in direct contact met anderen.  Bijna allemaal hebben we deze dagen wel behoefte aan support; aan ondersteuning van ons immuunsysteem, maar ook hoe om te gaan met de stress en emotionele response.
 
Wat kun je doen? 
Het autonome zenuwstelsel (denk aan automatische functies zoals spijsvertering, hartslag, ademhaling) heeft twee standen: een gaspedaal en een rem.  Net als in je auto kun je deze niet tegelijkertijd bedienen. Je hebt ofwel het gaspedaal ingetrapt en dan is sympathische zenuwstelsel actief (ook wel stress) modus, OF je hebt m op de rem staan in de ontspannende (parasympathische) modus. De wetenschap vertelt ons dat 100% van genezing en verjonging plaatsvindt in de ontspanningsmodus (dus laten we hier de wiskunde doen: 0% van genezing gebeurt wanneer we gestrest zijn!). Dus alles wat u in de ontspanningsmodus brengt, verhoogt het natuurlijke vermogen van het lichaam om te genezen - alles! 
 
Zoek naar de dingen die wel kunnen, wees creatief en blijf in contact met anderen, al is het op afstand.
 
Wat kunnen wij voor je betekenen zonder elkaar fysiek te ontmoeten? 
Vanuit de quantum fysica weten we dat we op afstand met elkaar in verbinding staan. 
Online behandelingen werken op exact dezelfde manier als lichamelijke ‘hands on’ behandelingen.
Simpel gezegd laat de quantum fysica ons zien dat elk lichaamsdeel en elke cel precies weet wat elk andere cel of deel van ons lichaam aan het doen is. Er is een diepe onderlinge verbinding en onderlinge afhankelijkheid tussen elk atoom in het universum en daarmee in elk mens in het universum.   Wanneer we met het lichaam communiceren, dan focussen wij, als BodyTalk practitioners, ons op de prioriteit die volgens het BodyTalk Systeem in balans moet worden gebracht.  Net zoals een mobiele telefoon snel een verbinding kan maken over de hele wereld zonder fysieke snoer, zo kunnen BodyTalk practitioners nauwkeurig afstemmen op hun cliënten zonder fysiek contact.
 
In het BodyTalk Systeem, gebruiken we eenvoudige technieken die zowel geest als lichaam kalmeren, zie o.a. de Cortices techniek.   Deze Cortices techniek kan de hersenen in hun optimale evenwicht terugbrengen. Dit kan online worden aangeleerd, zodat iedereen dit bij zichzelf kan doen en een krachtige ontspannings-reset kan ervaren. Een belangrijk stap naar potentieel herstel en genezing. 
Wij als BodyTalk practitioners zijn er om jou te ondersteunen.

Onderzoek naar afstandsbehandelingen
Er zijn onderzoeksgegevens gepubliceerd die de resultaten van afstandsbehandelingen laten zien.
Bekijk het wetenschappelijk onderzoek van Dr. Janet Galipo en Dr. Laura Stuvé bij patiënten met chronische pijn. Zij gaven BodyTalk-behandelingen op afstand met als resultaat een uitstekende statistisch significante vermindering van de pijnintensiteit. Het resultaat van het onderzoek toont aan dat bij langdurige chronische pijnpatiënten een verbetering van pijn optrad, alsmede van de bijbehorende emotionele problemen van angst en depressie waarmee veel patiënten worden geconfronteerd.
