I AM THE PANCREAS

In western physiology I am both an endocrine gland and an exocrine gland, producing both hormones that regulate blood sugar and other hormones, and also digestive juices and enzymes.
I allow you to adapt to both what you eat and how often you eat by regulating the amount of digestive enzymes and by regulating your blood sugar levels.
I am also associated with the solar plexus chakra and your issues around your ability to receive abundance in your life.
Your ability to adapt your digestion to whatever you eat in order to extract maximum nutrition cannot be separated from your ability to think of ways to adapt to your circumstances in life - to take the lemons life gives you and make lemonade.
When I am weak, your thinking becomes unproductive worry and anxiety.
You may then attempt to fill this lack with compulsive overeating.
My primary job is to keep you adaptable and to use worry creatively to maximize your ability to receive life's abundance.

I AM THE THYROID

In western physiology I produce hormones that regulate your metabolism and the growth and health of your bones. I promote good blood flow to your brain which affects your mental clarity.
I am also associated with the throat chakra and am affected by your beliefs around communication. When you don't feel like you are expressing yourself, you feel suffocated - like your growth is being held back - and you feel choked by life.
My primary job is to give you the energy to meet your daily challenges with clarity and to communicate from the heart - to ask for what you truly need.

I AM THE THYMUS

In western physiology I am part of the immune system and play a role both in defending against invasion of internal pathogens and in preventing autoimmune diseases. Distortions in my consciousness lead to overly defensive behavior and attacking or denying yourself. In order for me to protect you from autoimmune disorders, you must first accept yourself
I am also associated with the heart chakra and strengthen the role it plays in selfacceptance. When I am over-protective I restrict the heart and restrict your energy levels.

The root of the word "thymus" comes from a Greek word that implies life force so my primary job is to protect your life force by providing healthy immunity without closing your heart and limiting your ability to accept yourself or others.

ARE YOUR EMOTIONS HOLDING YOU HOSTAGE?

You weren’t meant to feel stuck, exhausted, or emotionally drained.
Your emotions have a purpose. But when they get trapped in your body, they can become the root cause of:

Anxiety and overthinking
Chronic fatigue and brain fog
Anger, grief, fear, or overwhelm that just won’t go away

Emotions are not your enemy—they’re messengers.
But if they’re not released, they settle in your body and silently shape your mental, emotional, and even physical health.

BodyTalk helps uncover your body’s unique emotional story—clearing the stored trauma, limiting beliefs, and subconscious stressors that are weighing you down.

If you're ready to break free from the emotional patterns that keep looping book a BodyTalk session with your local practitioner ( https://bodytalkhealth.co.za ) now and experience true transformatiom

Your body already knows how to heal—it just needs the support to begin.

I AM THE PITUITARY

In western physiology I produce hormones that regulate the rest of the endocrine system and I serve as the interface between the nervous system and the endocrine system. I am therefore responsible for managing the internal communication and harmony within the bodymind. My ability to produce internal harmony affects our ability to see harmony in our lives.

I am also associated with the brow chakra which gives us insight and intuition (intuition represents good communication between the left and right brain). The drive to promote this communication comes from my feminine energy.

At its highest form, internal communication (intuition) is infused with inner creativity; this is the source of insight.

I AM THE PINEAL

In western physiology I produce melatonin to regulate your sleep cycles. I am sensitive to light and I connect you to the natural rhythms of the day and the seasons. A good night's sleep gives balance to your days and produces a sense of well-being.
I am also associated with the crown chakra which connects you to the world. I am therefore associated with your desire to know your self and your connection to all that there is. This interest in spirituality is a masculine drive, as the masculine aspect of your mind strives for improvement in all things, including your sense of spiritual connection.
My primary job is therefore is to provide a healthy expression of masculine energy in the bodymind and to produce a sense of well-being by keeping you conscious of your connection to your spirituality.

BodyTalk Distance Sessions:

BodyTalk Distance Sessions are a method where a BodyTalk Practitioner and Client engage in a session remotely, even if they are geographically distant. These sessions are conducted similary to in- person sessions and are seen as effective by many.
Instead of the session being done in person however, they are facilitated from a distance. Oftentimes the appointment will be conducted by phone or video such as Zoom or Skype. In some instances when the Client and Practitionerhave difficulty in coordinating schedules, an audio recording of the session will be made and sent to the Client. The Client can then listen to the session at their convenience.
Distance Sessions offer convenience, accessiblity and are particularly helpful to those that have difficulty travelling.

Here's a more detailed look at BodyTalk distance sessions work:

QUANTUM OHYSICS CONNECTION
BodyTalk Distance Sessions are often explained using concepts from quantum physics, which suggest a deep interconnectedness between all things.

MIND-BODY COMMUNICATION
The Practioner uses their mental focus and the BodyTalk protocol to communicate with the Clients body and mind, seeking to identify and balance ares that are out of sync.

NO PHYSICAL TOUCH
Distance Sessions do not require any physical contact between the Practitioner and Client. They can be conducted online or using a photograph of the Client.

I AM THE BLADDER

In western physiology I store and release urine.

In Chinese medicine I also release emotional waste products along with the urine, particularly Anger.
When we are unable or unwilling to release our anger, this turns to resentment - we become "pi**ed off." This can lead to symptoms similar to a urinary tract infection, but without the bacterial infection that accompanies it.
When paired with the kidneys I also generate fear to keep you alive.
Frequently anger that we are afraid to express in sexual relationships leads to the kind of resentment that causes urgent or painful urination.
My primary job of is to encourage the will to express sexuality in a healthy way and to release emotions, especially anger.
Other emotions stored when I am imbalanced are Insecurtity, impacting trust in yourself or your environment and Irritation resulting in you holding on to emotions, thoughts and control that you should let go of.

I AM THE KIDNEYS

In western physiology I filter the blood to eliminate waste products into the urine. I also also regulate your heart activity and blood pressure. I therefore influence the strength of your life force and your ability to separate and eliminate the impure in your life

In Chinese medicine I generate the will to live and to meet challenges. I also generate fear to keep you alive.
When there is too much focus on separation, you have too much fear and a need to control your world. This distorts willpower into an overemphasis on free will and personal responsibility. When you are too concerned with control you are also afraid to let your weaknesses show, and coping behaviors become more important.

My primary job is to preserve your life by generating fear to keep you out of danger. I give you a strong will to take on new projects without being attached to the results or being afraid of judgment. By encouraging sensuality I preserve your genes by giving yoy an interest in staying alive and a corresponding drive for reproduction.

I AM THE SPLEEN

I am responsible for cleansing both your lymph and your blood. Mentally I give you the ability to clear old and stagnant thoughts.
I also generate worry to give you the energy to think. Spleen worry affects the subconscious mind and helps to keep digestion of food and thoughts coordinated.
I also govern rhythms in the body. In women I am responsible for keeping the menstrual cycle in rhythm with the phases of the moon.
My primary job is to worry about the physical body. When this worry is imbalanced, you will worry constantly without being able to decide what is important.

I AM THE STOMACH

In western physiology I receive receive food and drink and begin the process of digestion by mixing food with digestive juices to break it down into smaller pieces.
I also have a gag reflex to allow you to reject poisoned or rotten food.

In Chinese medicine I am responsible for allowing thoughts to enter the mind and am strongly associated with the conscious mind.

When I am overly critical I reject both food and thought too quickly leading to acid reflux and intolerance to new thoughts.
I help you to digest and assimilate both your food and your life. I also also generate worry to enable conscious mind thinking. My primary job is to help youndigest your life by accepting new food and new thoughts.
I keep you open to new ideas without becoming too gullible.
