Feeling stressed? Zero Balancing can help!
For many of us, these are the most stressful times we have ever experienced. Whether it’s the changes in our daily lives caused by COVID-19, the fires and poor air quality here in the San Francisco Bay area, the state of our country, or the state of our world, we are being called upon to manage a veritable avalanche of stress. With this much stress, our autonomic nervous system, the nervous system that regulates our heart rate, blood pressure, and many other basic body functions, can get stuck in a high alert response. This high alert, AKA fight or flight, is our body’s way of responding to both a real or a perceived threat. Not only do we feel very uncomfortable under this much stress, it’s not good for us. The unhealthy consequences of stress are well documented and include lowering our immune system’s ability to fight infection. To state the obvious, when in a pandemic, a strong immune system is vitally important. And so is reducing stress.
Zero Balancing can help. Research on Zero Balancing is revealing how a 30 minute session can decrease stress by 61%. Researchers at the NeuroSynchrony Institute in Austin, Texas used polygraph (lie detector) technology to measure stress levels in people who were receiving a ZB session. This first study on the effects of Zero Balancing showed a 61% reduction in stress in those receiving ZB compared to a 12% reduction in the control group; people who lay quietly for 30 minutes without receiving ZB.

While more research is needed, these results are impressive. The research is confirming what I see in my clients every day and what I’ve experienced myself after receiving a ZB. We feel better after the session than we did before. We feel more relaxed and more ready to face the world. For those who use Zero Balancing for pain relief, the relaxation may seem like a side effect, albeit a good one! In truth, Zero Balancing sessions can be used to great advantage purely for stress relief and relaxation.
Self care to manage stress is more important now than ever. Are you yearning to feel more relaxed? Consider adding a biweekly or monthly Zero Balancing session to your self care regimen!
