Body Alignment Technique - An Introduction

How it all started:

Jeff Levin is an architect, nutripath, author, healer and pioneer in the world of energy medicine. Through his own ill health he began to explore different avenues of self-healing. Back in the 70's in South Africa, he discovered his healing abilities and began to lay the foundation for the healing technique that he was to develop. That technique he called Body Alignment Technique.

The Issue is in the Tissue

Body Alignment Technique uses vibrational energy to heal others and ourselves. Negative emotional experiences become subconsciously locked into our body at a cellular level and become part of our biological systems. Body Alignment Technique clears these subconscious memory pathways. Jeff Levin teaches that the "issue is in the tissue". This echoes one of Caroline Myss's favorite expressions, "your biography becomes your biology". Their ideas are closely interlinked.

Through Body Alignment Technique, this knowledge of past memories is accessed, pinpointing these emotional experiences in a very quick and direct way, getting to the heart of the matter. These experiences are brought back into the body, to its deepest cellular level, and from that place of deepest feelings, released. The experience is taken out of the head, and back into the body and felt exactly as it was at the time of it happening. This helps shift the energy as it is no longer an intellectual experience, but a body experience. As the body stores memory at this level, it is released from this level. To bring about healing, layer upon layer is released.

What's the role of the Practitioner?

In order to correct the energy imbalances, Body Alignment practitioners use their hands as a means of transmitting energy, as opposed to using them mechanically, as in adjustment or manipulation. As Body Alignment practitioners we recognize that we do not heal people. We simply facilitate the removal of blockages that are in the way of this self-healing mechanism and assist in raising the vibrational frequency so that the body's innate intelligence can do the healing. Using Body Alignment Technique, the receiver's body reveals the nature and location of the blockages so that we may accelerate the healing process.

However, we are not attached to, nor do we take credit for the results. We simply function as channels for the healing current that is available to us all. As we facilitate the balancing of another person we do so to ourselves and, as a result, we find ourselves energized through the process.

All of life is energy - when the flow of energy in the body is blocked or restricted, physical symptoms occur.

Healing is the result of the love, caring and vibrational chemistry that develops between the practitioner and the receiver. These, together with the technical competence of the practitioner, provide a safe and conducive atmosphere for the healing to occur. It is important, therefore, that the practitioner be open and centred in loving service.

Memory

Everything we are is the result of memory. Memory is the collective database of information that determines function and form. The past is what we make of it and is therefore subjective. Thus it is possible to change the past by changing our perception of it. And it is necessary to change the past to change our future.

Healing is the ability to Remember

Multi-dimensional beings in a multi-dimensional Universe

We are multi-dimensional beings living in a multi-dimensional Universe. Overlaying and interacting with our physical body are the emotional, mental and spiritual bodies, making up our auric field. Imbalances are generally initiated in this auric field, before manifesting later in our physical body as pain and dis-ease. When we become ill, it is our body that is shouting for us to take notice and pay attention. It is telling us that all is not well, and changes need to be made. How often do we hear of someone having a crisis? In fact, the word crisis originates from the Greek, meaning decision, so when we are having a "crisis" it is actually time for taking a decision and making a choice.

On Illness and Health

Once we begin to understand that we are primarily spiritual beings working through the limitations of physical bodies, our consciousness begins to change.

Illness is just a human condition indicating that the "patient" is no longer in harmony at the level of consciousness. This loss of inner balance manifests itself in the body as a symptom. The symptom alerts us to the fact that we are sick people. Once we have grasped the difference between illness and symptom, our basic attitude and approach to illness becomes transformed. No longer do we need to see the symptom as the great enemy, with the goal to resist and destroy. Instead, we discover in the symptom a partner capable of helping us to discover what we lack and so overcome our current illness. At this point, the symptom becomes a kind of teacher, helping us take responsibility for our own development and the growth of our consciousness. Illness knows only one goal: to make us become whole.

As a healer, Jeff Levin has witnessed deep transformations through working on the energy fields. He began to see that disease was actually initiated in these subtle fields and slowly cascades down to the physical, and that, as the energy field is cleared, the effect on the physical is immediate and profound.

Pain is simply the body's means of communicating that something is out of balance.

In Body Alignment Technique, through applied kinesiology, or dowsing with a pendulum, we are able to access this information, which is stored in the body and its energy systems, and with the use of charts identify the information. The physical systems interface with the subtle energy systems, the meridians, the chakras and the crystalline energy systems, which link us with all creation. Trauma or blockages carry a charge, which weakens the person's energy field. Once the blockage is released the client experiences a "lightening of spirit" and when tested they no longer carry the emotional charge of the experience. They are no longer bothered by the experience and it is no longer part of their patterns. As this is a holistic technique, we assist in bringing all the subtle energy fields of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies back into alignment. The process is called a "balance". There is a meeting of science and mysticism in this technique, of the physical human anatomy system and the subtle anatomy of our energetic systems.

It offers gentle, hands-on energy release work, leaving us feeling relaxed and more empowered to live our lives fully.

Body Alignment Technique is not intended to diagnose or treat diseases.

Natural Law at a higher voltage

As practitioners, we are not performing some sort of magic. We are working with natural law at a higher voltage. Our body has an innate intelligence, always striving towards harmony and well-being. The process honours our "True" or "Higher Self", and not the programmes adopted through life's experiences. This is the part of us that has no agenda, except to be well, has no ulterior motive and knows only the Truth.

We are facilitating the removal of these energy blockages, allowing the body's own self-healing mechanism to operate. This is a very powerful technique, transforming harmful energies and bringing the client back into their power, allowing for change to take place and to assist people to shift to higher dimensions of consciousness. It often brings to consciousness that which we do not want to, or are unable to see, giving us the courage to move forward and make long overdue changes in lifestyle.

Practitioners work as a team, complimenting the efforts of those from other healing disciplines.

Vortex Cards and Supplements

As an adjunct to Body Alignment, Jeff Levin has also developed the Vortex System of Vortex cards and supplements. These cards emit sub-atomic particles that re-organise the atmosphere and bring it into harmony with our multi-dimensional bodies. When placed on the body at strategic access points the cards accelerate the healing and deepen the balance. The cards are a powerful healing tool, as well as a tool for harmonising the environment by transmuting the harmful effects of Electro-magnetic fields (EMF's) and geopathic stress to a light healing frequency. The Vortex Supplements work on all the systems of the body, and help to maintain the raised frequency initiated by the balance, keeping us on the path of wellness and harmony. The cards and supplements, when used by a trained practitioner, demonstrate a remarkable ability to restore balance in the body, relieve pain, align the physical structure, improve the function of organs and body systems, chakras and meridians, as well as emotions.

Like Body Alignment Technique, the Vortex system is easy to learn and is easily integrated into many different healing modalities, for example osteopathy and chiropractic. Psychologists use the Supplements with great success. However, it is not a diagnostic method and never attempts to replace medical care. Bearers of the Dawn

Samantha doing healing on Jean-Pierre It is truly a healing modality of the millennium. This is a brand new energy medicine and it works. A new dawn of healing is upon us, and we have the choice as to whether or not we participate as bearers of the dawn.

Case studies

Dyslexia

An 18-year old boy with severe dyslexia all his life came to a demonstration talk. His parents had spent a fortune on therapies and for tutors to read to him. At the talk, he took several minutes to attempt to read one word, trying to read letter by letter. After a few minutes' balance, he read words in about 10 seconds. He came to the Vortex workshop where another balance lasting 3 minutes was done, after which he read the headlines of the newspaper, both forward and backwards. Several months later he is holding the balance and reading fluently.

Scoliosis

A 65 year old woman with congenital double Scoliosis came to a Vortex workshop and after a balance, which took several minutes, her spine straightened out. The process took several hours to completely straighten and she looked and felt significantly different. This was checked by a chiropractor in the audience. She came to a class 3 weeks later and it was still holding the balance. She has been relieved of a lot of pain that she had been suffering for years. A year later at another class she was still holding the balance and her spine was straight.

Scar Tissue

A woman learning Body Alignment had had a mastectomy over a year before, resulting in a very red and uncomfortable scar. During the course of her balance the emotions that arose were "solitary" and "strict". These resonated deeply with her. Her surgeon, although brilliant, was not very empathic, and she had been left feeling very afraid and very alone to deal with this traumatic event in her life. These emotions also mirrored her childhood. Her father was always away, and there were many occasions where she had had to fend for herself. Once she was balanced for the emotions, her scar faded within 24 hours, and the pain that she had been experiencing disappeared. She no longer carried the emotional charge and she could now, confidently, move on.

Body Alignment Technique is the most direct, quick and efficient route to healing - releasing blockages right at the core.

Healing, transformation, growth and consciousness

The stories go on and on. Healing, transformation, growth and consciousness all work hand in hand. This healing energy is available to all of us and does not require any special gift, just the desire to live life to the full.

Some Conditions balanced by Body Alignment and the Vortex System

Jeff Levin B. Arch., B.Sc. (Nutrition) RNC.

Through his own ill health, Jeff Levin began to explore various avenues of healing. His journey of discovery brought him to Canada where he founded the Natural Health Institute in Toronto, and the Natural Health Retreat in Northern Ontario, where he is now based. He came in contact with many modalities, including homeopathy, kinesiology, radionics, iridology, Body Electronics, Touch for Health and nutrition. He travels for most of the year, teaching his revolutionary technique to both health practitioners and the general public in Canada, America, Israel, Italy, England, Norway and South Africa.

In Body Alignment Technique we are not attached to, nor do we take credit for the results.
