Lesley McIntyre is  System™ and BodyTalk Access™.

The BodyTalk System™

What happens when you combine the wisdom of advanced yoga and advaitic philosophy, the insights of modern physics and mathematics, the energy dynamics of acupuncture, the clinical findings of Applied Kinesiology, and western medical expertise?  BodyTalk happens - a revolutionary new form of healthcare which is spreading rapidly around the world as it really changes peoples lives.

What is BodyTalk?

BodyTalk is an astonishingly simple and effective form of therapy.  It re-synchronises the body's energy systems allowing them to operate as nature intended.  Each bodily system, cell and atom is constantly communicating with each other.  This communication becomes compromised through exposure to the stresses of modern day life leading to a decline in physical, emotional and/or mental health.  Reconnecting these lines of communication enables the body's mechanisms to function at optimal levels preventing disease and rapidly accelerating the healing process.  BodyTalk as a stand-alone system can help many health problems.  It can also be seamlessly integrated into any health care system increasing effectiveness and promoting faster healing.

How does BodyTalk Work?

BodyTalk's major assets are its simplicity, safety, and its speedy results.  It is non-invasive, objective in application, and works effectively on humans and animals alike.  The BodyTalk practitioner identifies the weak energy circuits in need of repair within the body by using a form of biofeedback, which is a subtle muscle testing technique relying on the body’s innate wisdom or in-built healing mechanisms.  For example, if we cut our finger, the body knows exactly what to do to heal that finger immediately setting up the relevant process in a priority order.  This healing is holistic working at several levels - physical, emotional, and mental.  Sometimes these in-build healing mechanisms break down often due to the stresses and strains of modern day life, for example:-

• physical stresses of modern home and work life
• inherited physical weaknesses and acquired or accumulated injuries
• emotional situations and upsets which we cannot deal with so we store and layer these emotions (e.g. anger, fear, worry, sadness and grief) in different areas of our body
• the chemicals we inhale, ingest or have skin contact with from our food, water, air that we breathe, personal care products, household products, and pollution from the environment, agriculture and industry
• the EMF’s (Electronmagnetic fields) that we are exposed to (e.g. electrical power plants, overhead cables, cordless phones, mobile phones, computers, TVs, microwave ovens, strip lights and other electrical appliances).

The combined and cumulative effect of these factors compromise the natural communications in our body’s and our energy circuits are "blown" like the trip switch in the house when the electrics overload.  The BodyTalk System helps re-establishing the natural communications to promote the in-built healing process.

What Happens at a BodyTalk Session?

The practitioner or client contacts the relevant areas where communications need to be improved with their hands.  The practitioner lightly taps the client on the head, which stimulates the brain centres and causes the brain to re-evaluate the state of the body's health.  The result is that the general energy balance of the body is greatly improved.  The practitioner then taps the client on the sternum (heart complex) to "announce" the corrected energy flows to the rest of the body.  Stimulating the heart by tapping the sternum communicates the state of the body’s health to the rest of the body and forces the heart to store the corrected energy patterns in the body's cellular memory so that the body remembers the changes after the treatment.  The BodyTalk protocol is straightforward without the need for diagnosis.  The innate wisdom muscle testing technique not only locates the weakened lines of communication in the body but also the order in which they are to be addressed.  The priority order is essential in the balancing process to initiate the body's ability to heal itself.

What Can BodyTalk Help?

BodyTalk’s ability to facilitate healing appears to be unlimited.  It has proven to be very effective in addressing many common diseases such as dyslexia and learning difficulties, chronic viruses and infections, chronic tiredness, reproductive problems, allergies, poor immune system functioning, sugar metabolism disorders, arthritis and general musculo-skeletal disorders, emotional and psychological problems, and many others.

BodyTalk Access™

Dr John Veltheim, The BodyTalk System™ founder, recognised the importance of empowering people to help themselves and that the simplicity of the techniques meant it could be accessible to everyone for general every day maintenance.  In 2005 the BodyTalk Access Programme was developed which includes five of the most dynamic preset techniques in the BodyTalk System and, also a powerful First Aid technique, which anyone can learn.  BodyTalk Access is a one-day seminar teaching you a simple routine to help with 60% of everyday health conditions.  It

About Lesley

Like most practitioners ill health sparked my interest in complementary health & my determination to find ways to help myself. As an “ME” sufferer since my teens in Dundee Scotland, the final straw came in 2002 when I fell off my motorbike & broke my collar bone. The bone took 5 months to heal with the ongoing threat of surgery, pins & plates.  In 2003 I became a Reiki Master and opened Amethyst Natural Healing Centre my first practice in Ballymena, Northern Ireland.

Although I am a Master of several types of Reiki, a Kinesiologist and have studied various complementary health techniques I always felt something was missing until BodyTalk found me.  In 2007 I qualified as one of the first Practitioners taught in Northern Ireland / Republic of Ireland. In February 2009 I qualified as the first BodyTalk Access Trainer (3rd in UK) & by November that year the first Certified Advanced Practitioner one of few across the world. I now integrate all my modalities to offer clients a unique and dynamic healthcare programme. The results continue to amaze my clients and I.

I love introducing people to BodyTalk. I am currently training as a Modules 1 & 2 Instructor and hope to qualify during 2010 to teach practitioners. I also teach many styles of Reiki and run a monthly Reiki Share group and Meditation Group. I am also an Angel workshop and spiritual development facilitator.

In June 2008 I decided it was time to expand Amethyst Natural Healing Centre & I moved to new premises at Ballymena Business Centre in Galgorm, Co Antrim. The Centre now offers one of the widest ranges of Complementary Health treatments and services available in Northern Ireland from some of the most experienced Practitioners and Therapists around.  The Centre also hosts many different courses for people who want to learn ways to help themselves or become Practitioners themselves.

My Masters degree in English and Psychology from Dundee University and my background in radio and corporate communications landed me the Communications role within BTNUK (BodyTalk Network UK) which helps to support practitioners and students in the UK and Ireland.  I am dedicated to spreading the word about Complementary Health and pioneering BodyTalk in Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland & the UK......especially Scotland my home country.
