| A gentle hands-on bodywork system designed
to align your energy body with your physical structure.
It combines Western scientific approaches to body structure
with Eastern concepts of energy and healing. Zero Balancing
(ZB) promotes a quieting and centering of body/mind.
It's primary focus is on the relationship of the energy
of the body to the physical structure of the body and
ways we can improve health and relieve body symptoms
by balancing and/or integrating these two aspects of
a person. This is the fundamental basis of ZB.
As
we continue to expand our understanding and definition
of the body/mind, and of the body/mind spirit, a number
of other possibilities present themselves. Experience
has shown that tissue holds memory, and that by using
clearer, stronger force fields of energy as a working
tool, we can help to directly release old tissue-held
memories and reprogram a person's response to their personal
history. In a sense we work directly on the mind.
Recommended for: People in a variety of situations can benefit from zero
balancing, those with stress-related
symptoms, people going through life changes:
divorce, loss of a loved one, loss of job, physically
fit people who wish to maintain their optimal health,
or anyone on a journey of self-discovery and self-actualization.

Expanded States of Consciousness
In Zero Balancing we often work with Expanded
States of Consciousness. Brain physiology tells
us there are a number of brain waves possible,
each having its own characteristics. In Zero Balancing
we use the term Expanded States of Consciousness
or Altered States of Consciousness to indicate
brain waves that move away from a beta linear-thinking
mind set. Whereas we do not attempt to define
exactly which brain wave the person is functioning
in, we monitor body signals and body language
to indicate to us that the person is in fact in
an Expanded State of Consciousness.
Experience has taught us that as people move
into expanded states they are less held to specific
definitions of themselves, definitions in which
illnesses are often embedded. People seem more
prone to change and to healing in expanded states
than in normal brain wave states. Thus we teach
how to use touch to bring about an Expanded State
of Consciousness.
Expanded consciousness can be brought about by
introducing two contrary sensations, such as pain
and pleasure. In Zero Balancing we have defined
the term hedonic to mean hurts good. Holding a
hedonic fulcrum will induce an Expanded State
of Consciousness.
Another way of inducing expanded consciousness
is by holding two contrary stimuli into a singular
experience for the client. This provides the client
with an experience of unity, which is an Expanded
State of Consciousness, or enhanced awareness.
