Are YOU "Switched"?
"Feeling overwhelmed, like you hit the wall or your brain just can't take in anymore info? Easily confusing left & right? Chances are pretty good you may be "Switched"
What is being "Switched"? This is a term used in BodyTalk to describe the brain being overwhelmed and shutting down as a protection/survival mechanism. ......"
In BodyTalk there is a technique that takes care of this issue, and sessions can take care of this issue on a deeper level as well as addressing lots of other issues.

The switching and cortices techniques of BodyTalk are closely related because they can address many of the same symptoms of brain imbalance, shock and malfunction. Despite this relationship, however, switching is quite a distinct phenomenon. The primary trigger for the switching phenomenon is stress. Initially, the functioning of the cortices is compromised. Switching is a natural mechanism to stop an overloading of the brain function that, in a healthy person, engages only when necessary. As an example, if you overtax yourself by working on a computer for hours without rest, nutrition, etc., you will arrive at a point at which you
suddenly will go into a switched state, signaling that the functioning of the left and right hemispheres and the way they work in harmony with one another is severely compromised. In this switched state you are in a relative state of shock that is characterized by the brain function “shutting down.” Clear thinking is compromised and there is a lack of clarity. You make mistakes easily and cannot think issues through. What your body is saying to you is that you have overdone it, your glucose levels are too low and you are extremely fatigued. At this stage rest is necessary along with food and fluids. What switching does is keep you from becoming extremely ill by overtaxing the body.
Marathon
We can see the same concept in long-distance runners. When marathon runners “hit the wall,” they actually are switching. The runners’ bodies are saying that they are overtaxed, the blood glucose levels are too low, and their bodies have done too much work. Therefore, they go into a dazed state in which they feel that they cannot run any further, they lose concentration, etc. What marathon runners are trained to do, however, is go through that wall and come out the other side by going onto emergency reserves in the body.
Studies on Australian marathon runners at the Australian Institute of Sport have shown that from the time they switch and go through the “wall” onward, they are actually destroying their bodies. As a result, we often see that long-distance runners who “hit the wall” are people who get old very quickly. They often have many health problems later on in life because of the damage they have done. (Interestingly, this is not true, however, for persons with certain unusual metabolisms, for example, some Kenyan and Ethiopian runners, who can run an entire marathon
without “hitting the wall” and entering into a switched state.)
Competitive athletics aside, there are many aspects of life in which switching occurs, particularly under stress. A classic example of a switching situation is when someone asks you to raise your right hand and you put up your left. Or, when driving, you are directed to turn left and you turn right. Those are typical switching symptoms: getting everything back to front, doing the opposite of what you are supposed to be doing. In your mental processes, often you are saying “yes” when you mean “no.” You often are making decisions that are the opposite of what they should be because there is confusion as to what is right and wrong.
Switching is your classic self-destruct mode
When you are in a switched state, you cannot think clearly and there is a natural tendency to do the opposite of what is good for you. Thus, for instance, a person who is on a diet can reach a certain point of stress and switch, embarking on an eating binge. Or a person who is upset can be stressed to the point of seeking relief through drugs or alcohol.
Switching can be induced by a variety of factors
Interestingly, one of the more tragic incidences we see involves strobe lighting. For example, it has been shown that when a fluorescent light in an office malfunctions and begins to flicker, it will cause anyone sitting under that light to go into a switched mode. This can cost a company a fortune, as employees in a switched mode make mistake after mistake after mistake, and their output is diminished. This situation continues until the light is repaired or replaced, as employees operating in a switched state continue to make incorrect decisions. Further, if something is not done quickly, affected employees also go into the cortices coping mode of shutting down into a state of mild shock. The same thing can happen in a classroom, profoundly affecting the children in the vicinity of the flickering lights.
Another example is found in nightclubs and dance venues with strobe lighting. In those environments, healthy, well-balanced people under a bit of stress and already in a state of shock can immediately go into switched mode. In this switched mode, they may start to do the exact opposite of what they normally would mean to do. They may, for instance, go into a self-destruct mode of overdrinking, getting involved with drugs or just doing stupid things. This is a very serious situation, in which we clearly see this self-destructive behavioral mode occurring.
However it is induced, switching has a profound impact
Because of their stress levels, many people switch too easily, going in and out of switch mode almost every day and even several times a day and hence making mistakes and impractical decisions, not thinking clearly and malfunctioning.
For example, one symptom of switching is dyslexia. You will find that when you have dyslexic children and “unswitch” them, they may no longer be dyslexic. However, they can quickly revert to the dyslexia because they switch too easily when under stress, such as when they have to read. In such a case, a practitioner will have to do the Switching and the Cortices techniques in combination over a period of time to gradually strengthen the brain and improve its stress threshold, so the body will not switch as easily and will be far more functional on a day-to-day basis. It is critical to note that in BodyTalk, the treatment is not designed to “unswitch” anyone permanently. It can “unswitch” someone who is in switched mode at the time of treatment, of course, and, if done over a period of time on a regular basis, it can heighten the person’s threshold for switching.
That said, we do not want to eliminate the body’s ability to switch because it is a natural mechanism that can save a person’s life during periods of extreme stress.
Switching in children is very common and obvious to parents and teachers. For instance, parents have learned to cope with a child’s dyslexia by not forcing him or her to read in excess or do other things that create switching. The average person, however, lives in this chronic state of coping by going into mild shock, coming in and out of switching almost all the time and compromising the immune system. You can imagine the value of these two techniques – switching and cortices – and their vital importance to quality of life and just being able to exist in this world in a much more lucid way with far better cognition of what is going on and the ability to think clearly, respond effectively and work and play in a constructive way.
