The BodyTalk Center Speaks for Itself

So what exactly is Body Talk anyway? I'll be honest with you, when I first heard of BodyTalk, I thought it was something akin to horse or dog whispering--only you're "whispering" to your body. Karen Atkins at The BodyTalk Center in New York City quickly set me straight. According to Karen, this unique method of energy healing is kind of similar to "whispering", except you're not trying to tame your body so much as you're trying to bring its various systems to a more harmonious state.


Body Talk is a comprehensive, dynamically structured energy healing system. With BodyTalk, healing is accomplished by repairing compromised lines of communication within the body. The goal is to help your various body parts, organs and systems "talk" to each other and articulate their needs with clarity. To do this, there is a comprehensive protocol of questioning and biofeedback used to identify faulty communication channels. A light tapping technique then helps the brain restore those channels.


BodyTalk energy healing is not limited to physical problems--it also helps remove subconscious emotional blocks. Some patients have realized things that never occurred to them before having those obstacles knocked down. Body Talk has helped people reconnect obstructed lines of creativity and inspiration. Some people have even experienced necessary weight loss when they finally let go of old emotional baggage. As a result of the enlightenment that BodyTalk has given them, many folks have found that they feel lighter and more capable of dealing with whatever life throws their way.


The primary aim of Body Talk, apart from facilitating internal communication, is to help you generate a sense of awareness by learning to listen to your body and getting it to tell you what it needs. Karen Atkins refers to this process as fine-tuning your internal compass. Karen stands by the philosophy that there is a message in each problem that arises, and you shouldn't let diagnoses scare you; rather, you should concentrate on the solutions and the learning process that helped you arrive at them. Karen encourages her patients to focus on the enjoyment of the energy healing process, often incorporating humor and anecdotes into her sessions.


Body Talk can work alone or be partnered with other health care modalities. Like acupuncture, yoga, psychology and homeopathy, BodyTalk works to optimize and facilitate the bodymind's well-being--in other words, it strengthens the connection between the body and the mind. It does not diagnose or address illness symptomatically. Instead, it seeks long term solutions to inherent problems by reconstructing communication lines.


Karen Atkins is very pleased with her new healing center. New York City certainly offers much in the way of energy healing, but most facilities are highly specialized. Body Talk, New York City provides a number of distinct, yet intertwined energy healing services and community gatherings. In addition to practicing BodyTalk, the gorgeous new healing center provides space for educational gatherings, healing sessions, dance, music, Franklin Method and Thera-Band® classes. Whereas the BodyTalk, New York City community previously held these gatherings in various locations around the city, the new space with its dramatic city views has enough room to accommodate all of these happenings.


Although the BodyTalk healing center offers an array of products and services, the staff doesn't push them; rather, they prefer to put the energy out there for those who wish to accept it. At Body Talk New York City, you're dealing with people who have deeply rooted beliefs in the energy healing techniques they practice, yet no desire to force their opinions upon others. For newcomers seeking a healing solution, The BodyTalk Center staff will make recommendations based on the needs of each individual. This is where the healing center's unwavering commitment to education comes into play--helping willing learners become knowledgeable about their bodies and the range of healing opportunities available to them.
