JOKE
A BodyTalk student went to his instructor and said, "My BodyTalk sessions are horrible! I feel so distracted, my links don't make sense, I can't tell yes from no, my back aches, and I can't concentrate. It's just horrible!"
"It will pass," the teacher said matter-of-factly.
A week later, the student came back to his teacher. " My sessions are wonderful! I feel so confident, my results are amazing. I've truly found my calling in life, I feel so alive! It's just amazing!"
"It will pass," the teacher replied matter-of-factly. |

Welcome to my June newsletter. There's lots of great articles in this newsletter. I have written a short excerpt about the value of recording your links and there are also some great questions sent in by you in the Ask Dr. Ka'imi section.
Also very exciting this month is my short piece about research on distant healing sessions that I presented at the ISSSEEM conference in Colorado this weekend. See below to get the link to the short excerpt of the research presented. I really enjoyed seeing those of you who were able to attende the conference.
This month we are producing the first available download in a promised series of lectures about being in BodyTalk practice and ethics. This first class goes right to the core of BodyTalk practice: "What are we doing when we pull on the clients arm?" See below for more details on this series.

In the Zone?
| |
Many students ask for my opinion on writing down links as you go. Does it really take you out of the zone? In short my answer is that I strongly recommend writing down links as you go. But I'd like to discuss the question as it really is about how we learn to access our intuitive process more fully.
Just to be clear, the issue is whether or not you write down the links as you get them, or can you wait until after you tap out to write them down. If you don't write them down at all, you are not in professional practice, because keeping records of your sessions is an essential part of a professional health-care encounter. I find reviewing my notes from previous sessions an invaluable aid to understanding my clients issues from a deeper level.
The argument against writing as you go is that writing is a left-brain activity that takes you out of contact with your right-brain holographic intuitive process. But the situation is not really that simple. Effective intuition happens when you are relaxed, and becomes much more difficult when you are under stress. So then the question really becomes whether or not writing down what you have so far allows you to release the mental effort of remembering the link. If the answer is yes, then writing down your links as you go helps you to relax. My impression is that the answer to this question is yes for the overwhelming majority of students. It certainly is easier for me, even though I used to keep literally thousands of details in my mind when I was writing software programs in my previous career.
Another take on right-brain vs. left-brain is the fact that many practitioners summarize the link verbally while they are discovering it. Speech is also a left-brain activity, but if you get used to doing it while running the protocol you can still stay in an intuitive zone. The same is true of writing: at first it breaks up the flow of getting links, then it becomes part of the natural rhythm and you can actually stay more relaxed.
Bottom line: if writing as you go helps you to relax, do it. But either way, make sure you do write down your links before you forget them, even if it is at the end of the session.

| Does Prayer and Distant Healing
really work?
|
Dr Ka'imi Pilipovich in conjunction with The Center for Biofield Sciences have put together research to illustrate that distance healing really does have a measurable effect of the systems of the body. Dr Pilipovich presented this research at the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine, ISSSEEM conference during the public sessions of the conference on Saturday, June 26th. The talk was received enthusiastically and Ka'imi brought awareness of BodyTalk and its potential to the scientific community.
The theme of this year's ISSSEEM conference was evidence-based spirituality with a particular focus to the question. "Does prayer and psychic healing really work? And can this ability be shared more effectively and more widely?"
Our pilot study was designed to measure real-time changes in the human energy field during a distant BodyTalk session to demonstrate the efficacy of this technique.
All subjects were at the Center for Biofield Sciences in Pune, India. Distant BodyTalk sessions were sent by Dr.Don Ka'imi Pilipovich from his clinic in Boulder, Colorado. Two biofield scanning devices were used to scan the subjects and Medical Thermal Imaging scans were also taken before and after the sessions.
All experimental subjects reported positive changes in health two days after the sessions. The biofield scans revealed noticeable changes in subjects during the sessions. The results indicate that a larger study is warranted. See sample images taken before and immediately after one distant BodyTalk session.

Go to this link to get a free downloadable preliminary conference handout about the study. We will let you know when the final report is available also as a free download from our website. It will be a good addition to the information you educate your clients with and to help you with practice building.

What is the function of the Pancreas Reflect Point and its balancing? Maria Eduarda Arongaus from Canada asked.
I always refer to the Pancreas Reflex Point as Spleen 21. We don't officially call it that for much the same reasons we don't call the Switching Reflex Point Kidney 27. The actual location of the points varies much more widely than acupuncture charts indicate, but the location I was taught for Spleen 21 exactly matches the Pancreas Reflex Point location.
It balances the Spleen/Pancreas meridian but also represents connection into all the other organs as well. The overall effect is to connect the two sides of the body by connecting this point into the core of the body from both sides. Because of the Spleen/Pancreas meridian connection as well as the other connections, notably to the liver and adrenals, it can also help to regulate sugar metabolism.
I teach a definition in my Chinese Medicine for BodyTalkers course that originates from one of the traditional names for this point, which is Enveloping Embrace. It reflects that when in the womb, we receive nourishment from our mother unconditionally. Afterward, our nourishment is from the universe, which is still unconditional, but we don't usually see it that way. When this point is fully harmonized, the person feels embraced and nourished by the universe. An interesting clinical observation that I have seen is that balancing this point with the Enveloping Embrace definition very often sorts out a twisted sacrum because the client is able to feel a more solid foundation in life. The tension patterns around the sacrum are released because of a stronger belief in the clients ability to be nourished and supported by earth energy.
How do I ask clients for payment?An uncomfortable topic to address for many, whether you are just starting out in practice or are an experienced practitioner. How you feel about this will directly relate to your relationship with money and your self worth. It is an important one to look at. I have never met a practitioner who is successful in practice and has this issue.
To be honest, I don't have to deal with this issue very often, because my assistant takes care of payment details for me. As I have mostly a distant practice she usually takes payment details in advance and then charges the card after the session. But I still sometimes have to get someone's payment details in person, if their details are incorrect. So I still have to talk about payment with clients and I understand that sometimes it seems like it breaks the mood of your interaction to have to talk about money.
The less charged you are about the money issue the easier it will be to ask for payment and the less charge the client will feel when it comes to this part of your interaction. The first part of the answer is that it is ideal to have a receptionist that handles payment and booking the next appointment for you. This also creates a professional image for you and your practice. If you are trying to have a busy practice rather than a part-time practice, having a receptionist should be a goal.
I prefer to set up the stage for payment straightaway.
A way that really works is to write them a receipt. When you finish the session, have answered any questions and have scheduled their next appointment write out a receipt with the name under which you receive payments for with a carbon copy and a tear sheet. Hand them the receipt from your receipt book and say "Here is the receipt for your session, I have put the amount due and how to make out the check on there already." Another way you could ask for payment is more direct by saying "How would you like to pay for the session? I take cash, check and credit card." This is less direct than saying please pay me. After the session the client is often feeling relaxed and processing and may be a little spaced out. It is appropriate that you take charge in this situation. If you want you could take the payment before the session and say something like this, "Quite often people feel relaxed and are processing after their BodyTalk session so would you like to get the payment and paperwork done now so you can fully relax afterwards." It is more appropriate to do this on sessions after their first session. There are lots of ways to deal with this but most importantly look at your relationship to the money/payment issue and see how it can help you learn about yourself and grow.
