People seek Zero Balancing (ZB) sessions for many reasons. Because I am a Physical Therapist, the issue that usually brings people to my office is pain. Sometimes it’s physical pain. Sometimes it’s emotional pain. Often, it’s pain they have suffered for a long time, such as an injury from a car accident that never seemed to heal or the aftermath of a traumatic event. Regardless of the initial reason for coming, they find multiple facets of life improve after a series of ZB sessions. While it’s the pain that brings them through the door to my office, every ZB session helps every part of them.

What is meant by “every part of you?” Exactly what it says. All of you. Your body, your emotions, your mind, your spirit. You are so much more than your physical body. When you awaken in the morning and determine how you are feeling, you certainly scan your body. And likely you have some attention on other aspects of yourself, like how energized you feel, how happy or sad, whether you are looking forward to the day or dreading it. In the Zero Balancing world, you are assessing your structure and energy. 

Structure is everything in the body that can be seen, such as bones, muscles, skin, blood, even our cells. If it can be seen, it’s structure. Energy is everything in the body that is unseen, such as the motion of our organs, our thoughts, ideas, emotions, beliefs, consciousness. Try to think of a part of you that isn’t either structure or energy. Don’t be surprised if you can’t. I can’t either. In short, all of you is either structure or energy. 

Structure is what we usually think of when we think of our bodies. Bones, muscles, joints, organs can be seen with our own eyes or through an Xray or MRI. When we go to the doctor or Physical Therapist, this is what we report on and receive care for. The unseen, our energy, might be a bit more challenging. Yet we are all familiar with aspects of our inner world. We talk about having lots of or not enough energy. We are aware of feelings of happiness, sadness, frustration, anger or stress. We have ideas, hopes and dreams. We have beliefs, either conscious or unconscious, such as “the world is a safe place,” “the world is an unsafe place,” “I’m ok,” “I’m not ok.” Although unseen, these are foundational aspects of who we are. 

Zero Balancing helps all of you because it works directly with your structure and your energy through touch. Zero Balancing practitioners are trained to touch your structure and energy simultaneously and consciously. While certainly any touch, like massage, physical therapy or even a handshake, is touching energy, it is the conscious attention that makes Zero Balancing unique. In a ZB session, the practitioner uses mindful, skilled, respectful, and safe touch to seek and balance stuck energy in your structure, specifically in your bones. 

The result is a healing session that acknowledges, engages, and accepts every part of you. 

The beauty in this approach is that you don’t have to know all or any of the parts of you that need healing, although awareness has its own rewards. All you need to do is to lie on the Zero Balancing table, relax and enjoy yourself as every part of you is helped.
