What is BodyTalk?

BodyTalk is an astonishingly simple and effective form of therapy that allows the body's energy systems to be re-synchronized so they can operate as nature intended. Each system, cell and atom is in constant communication with each other at all times. Through exposure to the stresses of day-to-day life, however, these lines of communication can become compromised, which then leads to a decline in physical, emotional and/or mental well-being. Reconnecting these lines of communication enables the body's mechanisms to function at optimal levels, thus preventing disease and rapidly accelerating the healing process. In this way, BodyTalk stimulates the body's innate ability to balance and heal itself. BodyTalk can be used as a standalone system to treat many health problems or can be seamlessly integrated into any healthcare system to increase its effectiveness.

BodyTalk's major assets are its simplicity, safety and the speed of its results. It is non-invasive and objective in application and works effectively on humans and animals alike. Even if a BodyTalk technique is performed incorrectly, it simply means that there will be no result or change. It will not make things worse. It follows, therefore, that anyone who receives BodyTalk has nothing to lose and everything to gain as far as his or her health is concerned.

What is MindScape?

MindScape is a method that teaches the participant to tap into faculties of the creative and intuitive mind not normally so accessible to our everyday life state of mind. In practical terms, this means that the student learns ways of engaging intuition at will and enhancing creative and intuitive abilities. This offers great benefits and open vast possibilities for every aspect of life or work. Moreover, the techniques are also powerful tools for personal development, and open interesting possibilities for BodyTalkers and other practitioners, such as distant sessions. MindScape is taught in two full days by Certified MindScape Instructors, and includes a detailed manual. There are no pre-requisites for taking a MindScape class.

Why is there no sound on the videos?

If sound is working on your computer for everything but the videos on this site, please check the following things when you pull up a video:

  1. Make sure that the speaker icon does not have a slash (line) through it
  2. Make sure that the slider control next to the speaker icon is not all the way to the left, this would have the volume set at 0

If you have verified these and still can not get the sound to play, please contact us!


I can't get the videos to play on the website, is there anything I can do to make them work for me?

The first thing that we always recommended is that you have the latest version of your browser installed. The technical staff at the IBA does everything possible to maintain support for all the major browsers (Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8; Firefox, Safari) but our main focus is generally on ensuring that the latest browsers work, and creating backwards compatability second. With that said, if you have a support question, you will generally be asked first to upgrade to the latest version of your browser and provide us with the version details to continue.

The videos on the website rely on two technologies to work effectively, the first is Javascript, and the second is Adobe Flash player. Not having Javascript enabled, or the latest version of Flash Player installed will make it impossible to play the videos.
