Today, we sit down with Vyara Bridgeman, an Advanced Certified BodyTalk Practitioner who has been practicing energy healing since 2007, after her own journey with arthritis sparked an interest in the mind-body connection. Originally an academic in the field of generative linguistics, Vyara’s career took an unexpected turn when traditional medicine failed to provide lasting solutions for her health issues. Learn more in her exclusive MysticMag interview below.
Can you please introduce yourself to our readers and share a few details about your professional background?
Hello! I am Vyara Bridgeman, an Advanced Certified BodyTalk Practitioner. I have been practicing energy healing since 2007. Interestingly, energy medicine was the last thing on my mind when I was choosing a career path for the first time. Educated in the materialistic model of pure logic and reason, I grew up oblivious to the spiritual world and the quantum healing principles. As someone skilled in mathematics and languages, I chose an academic career in generative linguistics and began conducting research in that field.
Importantly, it’s not about what we do; it’s about why we do it. In my case, the “why” was rooted in ambition and a desire to hyper-achieve. My ego was on board, but where was my heart?
This very question began to arise when, at the age of 25, I was paralyzed with arthritis. That’s when my interest in the mind-body connection started. Arthritis, I now understand, reflected perfectly the rigidity of my mind at the time.
Looking back, I am grateful for the shortcomings of Western medicine I encountered on my healing journey. The ineffectiveness of the medications I took was the very reason I turned towards various spiritual practices and energy healing modalities. Among those, the BodyTalk System stood out as exceptionally effective for my own healing, which is why I chose to study it and eventually became a BodyTalk practitioner myself.
What is the BodyTalk System and how does it work?
“BodyTalk puts into practice what we scientists theorise about,” says Dr Bruce Lipton, the famous epigeneticist and author of “The Biology of Belief”.
We now know that mental and physical illnesses are influenced 95% by epigenetics and 5% by genetics. This means that 95% of us inherit perfectly good genes. Crucially, genes can be switched on or off epigenetically, i.e. by environmental signals such as sleep, diet, stress, trauma, thoughts, beliefs, emotions, etc. A healthy lifestyle and positive life experiences upregulate longevity genes. An unhealthy lifestyle and trauma, on the other hand, trigger disease-related genes. Thus, our biography shapes our biology.
And that’s where BodyTalk comes in and can be of great help, as it offers quantum healing tools for exercising epigenetic control. Among other things, BodyTalk is designed to find the information (i.e. the epigenetic signal) that turns on disease genes. Once this information is identified, it can be corrected energetically at the consciousness level, and the disease genes get turned off as a result. In addition, BodyTalk offers energy balancing techniques aimed at waking up our innate self-healing mechanism and activating healthy genes.
To do that, the BodyTalk practitioner uses neuro-muscular biofeedback (a form of muscle testing), which allows us to “talk” to the body. This form of communication gives access to information stored on a very deep subconscious level. Personally, I believe we are actually talking to the soul, as it is said that the soul can only speak to us through the body. You can also think of it as a conversation with your innate wisdom or your higher self. The important thing here is that through the use of this special form of muscle testing, we can get to the bottom of what’s causing the client’s discomfort and disease.
Once the practitioner obtains information about what the body needs to be corrected in order to heal, a tapping procedure is performed over the head brain, heart brain, and enteric brain of the client. Combined with the conscious observation of the practitioner (who assumes the role of a quantum observer, thus shaping manifestation on the physical plane), the tapping procedure powerfully influences the relevant energetic circuits involved in the healing process. A deep and lasting shift on a cellular level follows.
Who can benefit from BodyTalk healing sessions?
Almost anyone seeking a holistic and non-invasive approach to healing on a mental, emotional, and physical level can benefit from BodyTalk sessions. Here are some of the symptoms and conditions that can be addressed effectively using the quantum healing principles of the BodyTalk System:
- Abdominal dysfunction, IBS, hiatus hernia, constipation
- Abnormal blood sugar, food cravings, and fatigue
- Addictions
- Allergies
- Cell damage due to vaccines, antibiotics, alcohol, drugs, and other toxins
- Chronic illnesses and pain
- Depression
- Eating disorders
- Fears, phobias, limiting beliefs, deep-seated emotional trauma, ancestral trauma, anxiety and PTSD
- Headaches, migraines, neck and back pain
- Heavy metal and chemical toxicity
- Hormonal and reproductive disorders, PMS
- Joint pain and stiffness, injuries from trauma and sports
- Learning disabilities and dyslexia, behavioural problems, ADD
- Lymphatic disorders
- Mental health problems
- Muscle tension
- Poor posture and coordination
- Respiratory and circulatory problems
- Viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal infections
What is the difference between BodyTalk regular sessions and BodyTalk Access?
BodyTalk regular sessions are tailored to the individual needs of the client. During a BodyTalk regular session, healing balances are performed in a strict order of priority determined in the process of muscle testing, as instructed by the client’s own innate wisdom. Thus, if I am seeing two people with the same cardiac pathology, ancestral trauma may be the start of the healing journey for one of them; the other’s first order of priority may be a boost in motivation to stop a certain self-destructive behavior. Similarly, two people suffering from stomach ulcers will almost certainly receive different BodyTalk balances depending on the causative factors contributing to the superficially (i.e. symptomatically) same pathology.
In contrast, BodyTalk Access is not personalized. It consists of 5 balances performed in the same order for each client every time we do an Access session. These balances harmonize the brain, turn off the fight-flight mode, improve hydration and immune system function, and help the flow of Qi throughout the entire meridian system. As a result, you can also expect better posture and coordination, improved mood and focus, increased circulation of blood and lymph, and release of muscle tension, to name a few.
Can BodyTalk work at a distance?
Yes, you can be asleep somewhere in Africa, and I can send you a distance healing BodyTalk session from Alaska, for instance. This is possible because BodyTalk is essentially consciousness-based medicine.
Now, what is consciousness? Simplistically, it is the information (i.e. a very high frequency vibration) that precedes and gives rise to the matter. Think of it as the plan (blueprint) you work off to build a house. No plan – no house! Similarly, consciousness precedes and gives rise to our body as well as everything that happens within the body. Every cell has its own consciousness which serves as an instruction manual for its purpose and function.
Thus, if we want to make lasting changes within the body, we need to make them at the level of consciousness, which is precisely what BodyTalk does. And since consciousness transcends time and space, BodyTalk can be done effectively as distance healing.
Importantly, the effectiveness of distance healing is not merely anecdotal. It has most recently been studied and verified in research conducted by Dr Joe Dispenza, among others.
Can you share a memorable success story?
I once worked with a woman with fertility issues. She had been trying to get pregnant for over 5 years, with no success. After three BodyTalk sessions with me, she finally got pregnant and ended up giving birth to a healthy boy.
Even more memorable, however, is the story of another woman, also with fertility issues. She didn’t end up getting pregnant at the end of her healing process but was filled with gratitude nonetheless. During her BodyTalk sessions, she got access to her heart’s wisdom and understood that she didn’t come here to have children, contrary to what was expected of her. She turned to painting instead. In no time she became a very successful artist. She also experienced a spontaneous remission of a thyroid condition she had been suffering from. That, of course, came as no surprise to me. Since one of the main consciousness aspects of the thyroid is Self-Expression, the thyroid suffers when self-expression is blocked. Once we begin to express our heart’s truth freely, the thyroid is happy and healthy again. That’s precisely what happened to my client, and her story is a perfect illustration of the truly holistic nature of the BodyTalk System.
