BodyTalk Access
BodyTalk Access' goal is to provide the layperson, family, and community with a simple set of energy-based techniques to make health maintenance and the management of daily health challenges accessible.
The BodyTalk System is a well-established system of health care utilizing state-of-the-art energy medicine in a safe and comprehensive manner. Its power is based on increasing the levels of internal communication within the body - stimulating the body's own ability to regain and maintain a healthy balance.
The BodyTalk System normally utilizes an elaborate protocol which requires intensive training. But the International BodyTalk Association has recognized the critical need for a simplified version of the system to provide access to many of the key benefits of BodyTalk to as many people as possible.

Module 1
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the BodyTalk system and presents many powerful treatment techniques that address a wide variety of diseases. This course consists of theoretical aspects as well as hands on practical application of the Module 1 BodyTalk treatment techniques. The elements of the BodyTalk protocol addressed in this course are as follows:

General treatments including overall breathing patterns, left/right brain and body co-ordination, energy blockages associated with birthplace or imbalances with the local environment, energy faults within the main brain cortexes, general and localized hydration, and health problems associated with internal and external scarring.
Specific balancing of the twelve major body organs, eight endocrine systems, and other body parts.
Correction of hereditary and/or environmentally influenced cell disorders. Repairing damage from vaccines.
Clearing the body of viruses, infections, parasites, food intolerances, environmental allergies, and accumulated toxins.
Clearing past and present emotional blockages including specific phobias and fears. These treatments have been very effective in correcting a number of psychological disorders.

Total lecture time is 17 hours (minus breaks). This course is a pre-requisite for Module 2. It is suitable for health care professionals as well as lay people who may want to learn the BodyTalk system and use the system at a non-professional level.

Module 2
This course builds on the knowledge gained in Module 1 and expands the treatment techniques to include the entire base BodyTalk system. Once again, both the theory and the practical aspects of the BodyTalk treatment techniques are covered in this course. The elements of the BodyTalk protocol addressed in this course are as follows:

Extrinsic Reciprocals, Lymphatic System, Nervous/Circulatory Systems, Energy Systems (Meridians, Blood Sugar, Chakras), Intrinsic Reciprocals, Environmental Systems.

Treating the 36 surface energy points that often impact a person's energy level, mood, overall structural integrity, muscle tension, and digestive system. Surface energy imbalances can also cause pain in specific parts of the body.

A detailed review of the protocol and BodyTalk principles, including “What is Innate?”
More in-depth examination of the materials in the Appendices of the new Module 1 and 2 manuals that covers options for “More specific?”, i.e. anatomy and physiology of a cell, the organs, endocrines, and brain; body chemistry; meridians; and nervous system specifics.
Increasing the reliability of your Yes/No answers.
Development of your BodyTalk practice.
Highlights from the Instructor in their area of expertise, e.g. Body Chemistry, Active Memory, handling difficult cases, Anatomy, Lymph work, etc. (which means it may be very valuable to take this course from more than one instructor).

Total Class time is 16 hours (minus breaks). Available at a discount to IBA members. Module 1 and Module 2 are prerequisites for this course.

Module 3
This course is the most essential of the advanced courses on BodyTalk. The consciousness work in Module 3 underlies the foundation of the philosophy behind the BodyTalk System and explains how to apply it in a practical way. The elements of the BodyTalk protocol addressed in this course are as follows:

This enables the BodyTalk Practitioner to address the beliefs, attitudes, and states of awareness of the patient in a simple, non-invasive way under the direction the the patient's own innate wisdom. It integrates with every aspect of the BodyTalk protocol supplying definitions of links that will greatly enhance healing at all levels.
Advanced consciousness: This includes the philosophy and understanding of such concepts as Space/time; Guilt; Separation: Individuation; the True nature: the 'essential' nature; masks; and habitual thinking patterns, as they relate to the unfolding personal and spiritual growth of the patient and practitioner.

Right Brain Practical
This workshop is designed to refine the practical skills of IBA members by helping them to synthesize all the Modules and work with them in a fluid way. John Veltheim is the only instructor teaching this course. This is also an opportunity for BodyTalk practitioners to meet John, the founder of BodyTalk, and spend four days with him to ask any questions on BodyTalk and have more detailed explanations of particular techniques or principles.

There is extensive practical – in particular, John will do sessions on as many participants as time allows so that a better appreciation and understanding of the flow of advanced BodyTalk sessions can be developed.
John will also be demonstrating his shortcuts and little extras that aren't always covered in the formal workshops.
Although there is not officially any new work being taught, John often uses this time to elaborate on the new work is his developing at the time so that he can receive feedback.

IBA Membership and BodyTalk 1, 2, 3, 4/7, & 6 are pre-requisites for this course.
