Once you learn BodyTalk, it is a toolset and a mindset that is always with you. The principle of relying on the body’s innate wisdom rather than superimposing your ideas about how it should heal is so sensible when you hear it that you can’t believe you ever thought you could force the body into compliance through personal agenda. The fundamental principle of letting the body choose its own “priorities” and “sequence” for self-repair makes a lasting impression on how we look at health forever after having learned BodyTalk.
All students start in BodyTalk learning how to utilize intuition in a linear and structured way to support the body in healing itself. When students are ready, the advanced PaRama BodyTalk course re-wires the practitioner’s three brain centers so they can apply BodyTalk principles and techniques in a far more flexible and expansive fashion. PaRama BodyTalk is a course that strengthens every student’s trust in their intuition. It supports their innate wisdom in having more freedom as it navigates an endless array of possibilities for healing. The course not only deepens the understandings and implications of Dynamic Systems Theory (the idea that everything affects everything); it teaches methods and tools to create highly sophisticated BodyTalk formulas that are more far-reaching in their effects. The more “active” components of a health issue that can be “caught” all at once, the more profound and lasting the results.
In April of 1991, BodyTalk founder John Veltheim awoke from a meditation knowing he would call his advanced work “PaRama.” At the time, he did not know what the word meant. The word comes from Sanskrit and means “highest” or “beyond.” The PaRama course takes what you learned in the core BodyTalk modules and goes far beyond them in terms of concepts and techniques.
The PaRama work has proven to have a profound impact on countless practitioners, clients, and students who have experienced a shift in their consciousness and their lives. PaRama BodyTalk sessions work strongly in such a way that long-hidden, internal obscurities and imbalances find their way to the surface to be healed. While such powerful shifts sometimes cause temporary, superficial conflict, the sense all along the way is that it is well worth it.
This course was developed by BodyTalk Founder Dr. John Veltheim and the PaRama Campus team, a group of open-minded individuals collaborating to develop the online content, structure, design, and technology. In the development and research of the course, Dr. Veltheim also collaborated with longtime PaRama BodyTalk Practitioner, Tim Hall, who contributed greatly to the written course content and is also a co-lecturer in the video presentations.
John Veltheim is the founder of The BodyTalk System. He is cofounder of both the International BodyTalk Association and the International BodyTalk Foundation, which helps fund research and offers BodyTalk Access to people in places where healthcare is not readily available. |
Dr. Veltheim has written numerous magazine and journal articles on BodyTalk and his other fields of knowledge. Dr. Veltheim’s work has also been published in the Journal of Alternative Medicine Research. The journal’s publishers were so impressed with his development of The BodyTalk System, they dedicated an entire volume solely to articles about BodyTalk. |
Tim has been highly involved with BodyTalk for over 15 years, and he regularly supports BodyTalk founder John Veltheim with course development and research. Tim was one of the most passionate proponents of the PaRama course when it first came out many years ago. |
“What we call conscience is rooted in the sub-superconscious. This is where our ability to live dharmically and choose right from wrong originates. When consciousness is permanently seated in the sub-superconscious, we live intuitively all the time.”
– John Veltheim
The PaRama BodyTalk course content covers an extremely wide array of concepts and techniques and students cannot expect to grasp or absorb it all in a few months’ time. It will take even the most adept and dedicated student a minimum of a year to fully absorb.
The course includes video lectures, online written lessons, PDF notes to follow along with the lecture presentations, the most up-to-date version of the PaRama Exploring Procedures Chart, and inspiring quotations and visuals to encourage deeper inquiry.
The PaRama course in its entirety is divided into eight (8) segments. Some segments must be done in sequence, while others can be done out of order. Each segment covers a different unique area of study.
Segment 8 presented here will address the following topics:
The focus of each of the eight segments is summarized as follows:
Course Sequence: You do not have to do all of the PaRama Segments quickly one after the other or in sequence, however, there are some that must be taken before others. Segments 1 through 3 must be done in sequence and must be done prior to taking any other Segments. After that, the Segment prerequisites are as follows:
To take Segment 4: you must have taken the first three Segments
To take Segment 5: you must have taken Segment 4
To take Segment 6: you must have taken the first three Segments
To take Segment 7: you must have taken Segment 6
