Distant Session FAQs
What Is a Distant Session
A distance BodyTalk session is basically the same as an in person session. Instead of the session being done in person, however, it's facilitated from a distance.
For distant sessions I use the Marco Polo App to send you the recording of your session to watch at your convience or you can opt to do a live session via Video Call.
What A Distant Session Looks Like
​
Similar to an in-person session, I begin by reviewing your health history form you completed and emailed back to me. either in a written format or verbally. We'll discuss what your primary complaints are & help you to clarify what you would like the optimal outcome of your session(s) to be.
When it's time to receive the session, we approach it exactly as if you were with the my office. Make yourself comfortable. You can lay down or sit down. You can listen to the session on speaker or with earbuds/headphones on. Close your eyes & relax.
There typically isn't much to see or do during a session. However there is a small amount of tapping required on your head, breast bone & belly, which helps to reinforce the subtle energetic tapping that I'll be doing from a distance. I will guide you through the tapping process.
I have taken an extra course called MindScape that teaches simple skills for enhancing creative outside-the-box thinking, improving mental focus & strengthening intuition - all of which are important for facilitating distance BodyTalk sessions. This class is open to the general public.
By combining Bodytalk and Minscape I will connect with your body mind and ask your body what the priority areas to address are and will engage you in the tapping when the body mind is ready to release what has been revealed. This process continues until your body indicates it is ready to end the session. Session typically vary from 30-60 minutes.

HOW DOES A DISTANCE BODYTALK SESSION WORK?
To be perfectly honest, nobody knows. One reason science has had difficulty proving the efficacy of distance healing using BodyTalk or other modalities is because it's operating outside the realm of classical physics. Instead it's using concepts from modern physics such as quantum entanglement which come from quantum physics and working with the idea that consciousness is the substrate of all things. These phenomenon which defy the limitations of time & space have been replicated time & again in laboratory studies. And they are so puzzling that even scientists are left scratching their heads in dismay. Even they have a difficult time explaining what they see happening with their own eyes.
But if we were to provide a simplified explanation, we could say that everything is energy. And in BodyTalk we'd say everything is consciousness. When you deconstruct anything physical, you end up with molecules, atoms, subatomic particles & ultimately, frequencies of energy. Every thing & every person has a unique frequency the same as every radio or television station has its own unique frequency. Using their MindScape skills & training, the Certified BodyTalk Practictioner is then able to "tune in" to your unique energy frequency, access the information necessary to conduct your BodyTalk session & facilitate healing.
In a sense this is no different to sending an email or making a phone call. You have an email & phone number which are specific to you. And anyone with that information can contact you from anywhere on the planet as long as they have that information and the skills & technology to do so. In the case of distance BodyTalk sessions, the skills & technology are MindScape, intuition, and the CBPs training, experience & expertise with the BodyTalk system protocol & procedures.
ARE DISTANCE BODYTALK SESSIONS EFFECTIVE?
In short, yes. Both clinical experience & client feedback have shown that distance BodyTalk sessions can be just as effective as sessions done in person. In addition, a peer-reviewed research study focusing specifically on distance BodyTalk sessions was published in the Journal of Pain Management demonstrating the effectiveness of distance BodyTalk in helping people suffering from chronic pain, depression & anxiety. And Certified BodyTalk Practitioners & their clients have observed noticeable improvements in all aspects of health - physical, mental, emotional & spiritual - using distance BodyTalk sessions.

DO I NEED TO BELIEVE IN BODYTALK OR DISTANCE SESSIONS FOR THEM TO WORK?
You do not need to believe in distance BodyTalk sessions for them to work. However, believing in them & keeping an open mind definitely helps. Think of your mind as a receiving station for information. If your mind is closed, resistant or highly doubtful, it will be less receptive to the energy of the session. But if you keep an open mind & acknowledge that anything is possible - because after all, we're constantly discovering, evolving & revising our understanding of how the world works - then your mind will be more receptive to the session and therefore more likely to experience benefits.
