Last updated September 2011
Currently BodyTalk is available in

over 52 countries.

What is BodyTalk?
BodyTalk is a comprehensive system of non-

invasive techniques designed to re-establish
healthy communication (“harmony”) within the
body systems.
• Comprehensive • Non-invasive
• Simple • Safe
• Effective
Think of an orchestra. It can produce

beautiful music only if all the musicians
tune their instruments and then coordinate
the timing of their playing.
What is BodyTalk?
Poor health is an indication that the

body’s innate (natural) ability to heal
itself is compromised (“out of tune”)
due to imbalances caused by stresses
from daily living.

What is BodyTalk Access?
5 Basic techniques taken from our extensive

BodyTalk System protocol and put into a
routine that anyone can follow.
What is BodyTalk Access?
The 5 techniques are: Cortices, Switching, Hydration,

Body Chemistry, and Reciprocals.
Daily Routine
All 5 techniques daily for the first 2-3 weeks until the bodymind
has stabilized.
Maintenance & Prevention

Tap out the first four techniques 1-3 days a week. Include
Reciprocals once a week.
“ My goal in BodyTalk Access is to make

these simple tools available to individuals,
so they can use them to help maintain the
health of their families and communities. ”
– John Veltheim, Founder

BodyTalk Access Potential

Part 2: Key Concept
• The Tapping Process

• Exaggerated Breathing
Key Concept: The Tapping Process
Light Tapping facilitates

the communication
required, stores the
memory of the
changes being made,
and integrates those
changes.
Alternate light tapping between the head

(brain), sternum (heart) and navel (gut).
Key Concept: The Tapping Process
Use light tapping of the

head to cover both Brain
Hemispheres.

Key Concept: Exaggerated Breathing
Exaggerated breathing ensures

the whole energy and
neurological systems register
the changes being made.
Note: As you learn the techniques, you will see that we

recommend at least two full breaths with each hand position.
Part 3: BodyTalk Access Techniques
• Cortices
• Switching
• Hydration
• Body Chemistry
• Reciprocals
Cortices

Cortices
Cortices is probably the single most critical

technique of the five presented in BodyTalk
Access and the most commonly used
technique in the BodyTalk System.
Cortices
Cortices/Cortex is the outer grey skin

layer or covering of the brain.
Cortex means
bark or skin.

Cortices
Anatomy – lobes of the brain Parietal
Frontal
Temporal
Occipital

Cortices
Underlying Theory:
All disease has a functional relationship with the brain

(or is reflected in the brain).
The theory postulates that everything that is problematic

with the body is reflected in the brain as faulty activity.
These various symptoms cause “cold spots” of

diminished blood supply or cellular activity (in the brain).
Cortices Technique (pg 14)
Focus: Connect all points of the Note: The number of hand positions
right brain hemisphere to the left depends on both the size of the
brain hemisphere. Highlight cold practitioner’s hands and the size of
spots to eliminate them. the client’s head.
Reminder: Take at least two full breaths with each hand

position. Alternate tapping on the head, sternum and navel.
Cortices - Self (pg 14)
Technique:
1. Place your hand on base of skull: tap head,
sternum and navel with other hand;
2. Repeat on all 4 (or so) positions of the brain;
3. Place both hands on sides for a few seconds, then
remove one hand to tap head, sternum and navel.
Focus: Connecting all points of the right hemisphere to the left
hemisphere, and highlighting and eliminating cold spots.

Switching
Switching
Switching is a normal biological protective or

warning mechanism of the body.
Designed to stop us from overtaxing the body

physically, mentally, or emotionally due to
stress.
Nervous System: Protective and Rest Modes
Switching
• Problem:
In theory, the brain

normal function.  Brain can switch too often or
too easily.

Switching
Common causes:
Stress, strobe lights,

fluorescent lights, old
computer monitors, sun
through trees, computer
games, driving at night for a
long time.
Switching
Common Symptoms:
• Brain “switches off” (memory lapses, going blank)

• Body tries to shut down
• Unable to function normally
• Confusion of right and left
• Poor reading comprehension
• Self-destructive behavior (For example, binge eating, “a-holics”)
• “Hitting the wall”
Switching
The Switching Technique helps to

normalize the stress threshold and reduce
our total stress levels.

Switching Technique (pg 16)
Focus: To reduce stress and

normalize the stress threshold.
Eyes
Hollows
under clavicles
Reminder: Take at least two breaths with each hand position.

Alternate tapping on the head, sternum and navel.
Switching - Self (pg 16)
Technique:
1. Places hands on eyes (slight pressure);
2. Remove one hand and contact switching reflex
points (just below clavicle);
3. Remove other hand to tap head, sternum and
navel.
Focus: Reducing total stress levels and normalizing the
stress threshold.
Hydration

Hydration
Water is an essential requirement

of the body. 99% of the molecules
in our bodies are water.
-Dr. Gerald Pollack (University of Washington Bioengineering)
No water means:
• No communication between cells
• No biomechanical reactions
• No life
Hydration
Hydration requires the

drinking of water. When the
body is dehydrated, the
nervous system cannot
function properly.
In fact, all processes in the

body require water.
Hydration
Why are we dehydrated?
We are not absorbing water:

Hydration is not only about how
much water you drink, but how
much water you absorb through
your cell membranes.

Benefits of Hydration
BodyTalk helps people be more present to the

amount and type of water they need, leading to:
• balanced hydration
• improved general brain function
• improved immune function
• improved effectiveness of treatment
• improved function of lymphatic system
• improved metabolism
• increased energy production in cells
• detoxification
Hydration Technique (pg 18)
Focus: Allowing water to Note: The wet cotton swab goes

membranes. Alternate placement is
on/in/behind the left ear.
Reminder: Take at least two breaths with each hand

position. Alternate tapping on the head, sternum and navel.
Hydration - Self (pg 18)
Technique:
1. Place water in navel (or on/in/behind left ear);
2. Hands on sides of head (focus);
3. Tap out the remaining parts of the cortices while
intermittently contacting the sides of the head.
Focus: Allowing water to move across the cell membranes.

Body Chemistry
Body Chemistry
The Body Chemistry technique helps

support the immune system in its daily
fight against invasive substances.
Body Chemistry
4 Main Areas
• Microbes
 Viruses
 Bacteria
 Parasites
 Yeast / Fungi
• Allergies
• Intolerances
• Toxins

Body Chemistry
“We do not treat viruses. In fact, we

don’t treat anything in BodyTalk. We
simply highlight the presence of the
substance to the body.”
– BodyTalk Fundamentals Manual
Body Chemistry Technique (pg 21)
Focus: Support the immune Note: Saliva is a powerful tool and must be

aware. on/in/behind the left ear.
Reminder: Take at least two breaths with each hand position.

Alternate tapping on the head, sternum and navel.
Body Chemistry - Self (pg 21)
Technique:
1. Take a swab of saliva;
2. Place swab in the navel (or on/in/behind left ear);
3. Place hands on the sides of the head;
4. Tap out the remaining cortices while intermittently
contacting the sides of the head.
Focus: TBD Optimizing the immune system and support it in
addressing invasionary factors.

Reciprocals
Balancing the Reciprocals
The Reciprocals represent key pairs of focal

points on the body that give feedback to the brain
in order to maintain posture, coordination, and
extrinsic energy communication.
Extrinsic Energy (Wei Qi)
• A protective and synthesizing Extrinsic Energy pairs of

electromagnetic field. points act like “circuit

BodyTalk Access Routine
1. Cortices Daily Regimen

All 5 techniques daily for first
2. Switching 2-3 weeks until the bodymind has
3. Hydration stabilized.
4. Body Chemistry
Maintenance & Prevention
5. Reciprocals Tap out the first four techniques
1-3 days a week.
Include Reciprocals once a week.
Note: Don’t get discouraged or stop

if you miss a day.
More Stress = More Often

During periods of high stress, it is recommended
to go back to the daily regimen.
• Flu season • Emotional upset

• Injury • Other health
• Illness challenges
Avoid Shortcuts
The sequence of the routine has been carefully
designed to allow the techniques to work together for
the broadest range of conditions. It works best if you:
• Do not change the order of the 5 techniques
• Do not do techniques in isolation
(Exception: Cortices may be done alone)

Part 4: Fast Aid
Fast Aid
Minor Emergencies Major Emergencies

(cut, scrape or burn) (limb or life threatening)
Fast Aid to help ease pain Can be a tool to help stabilize the
and stop bleeding. distressed and bring someone
out of shock.
Fast Aid
Fundamental principles in a major emergency:
1. Call Emergency Services.

2. Follow First Aid procedures (if trained).
3. Then add in Fast Aid Protocol.
4. Follow up with full BodyTalk sessions when possible.
If a person is unconscious or may have a head or neck injury, DO NOT

touch or move the head. Tapping can be done above the head or by
visualization. Don’t interfere with the professional emergency response
team.

Fast Aid Protocol
A. Cortices -Repeat as required

-Serious situation – every few
B. Cortices linked to injured area
minutes until help arrives
C. Cortices -Organs – repeat first 2 steps
D. Injured area linked to Reciprocal
Example: Fast Aid for a mouth injury
Reminder: If you panic/forget, DO CORTICES (your own as well).
Access Technicians
• Perform the Access program on yourself.
• Perform the Access program on other people,

with verbal permission.
• Apply the Fast Aid protocol in emergency

situations.
• Show others how to balance their Cortices.
• Eligible for membership with the International

BodyTalk Association.
Part 5: Key BodyTalk Concepts
• Innate Wisdom
• Biofeedback to establish Priorities
• Permissions
• The Tapping Process (Access)
• Exaggerated Breathing (Access)

Key Concept: Innate Wisdom
The body has an innate (inborn) ability to heal

and regulate itself on all levels.
In BodyTalk, we work with the innate wisdom to

re-establish communication in the body.
Key Concepts: Biofeedback and Permissions
Two BodyTalk concepts not used in

Access:
1. Biofeedback/Muscle Checking
communicates with innate wisdom
to establish priorities and the
sequence of those priorities using
the BodyTalk Protocol.
2. Permission is given on all levels.

Uses a priority protocol system
The client’s innate wisdom is in
command of the session.
