Zero Balancing / Acupressure
What is Zero Balancing?
Sometimes described as Structural Acupressure, Zero Balancing integrates a western scientific knowledge of body structure with eastern understandings of energy and healing. As such it shares many natural healing principles with acupuncture, yoga and shiatsu. The person who devised this technique - Dr Fritz Smith – is a conventional doctor as well as an osteopath and master acupuncturist. If you want to know more, I can recommend his book ‘Inner Bridges.’ I have had the privilege of training with Fritz Smith almost every year since 1997 as part of my continuing professional development.
What happens in a session of Zero Balancing?
A Zero Balancing session lasts about 40 minutes. First you will be asked what your needs are at this time. This is followed by a gentle assessment of certain joints, movement and posture. Most people find this detailed attention to their needs a rare treat in today’s high speed, high tech existence. You will then be invited to lie fully clothed on your back on the treatment couch. The work involves gentle releases, finger pressure and held stretches. Your job is simply to relax and enjoy the experience.
What can Zero Balancing do for me?
Zero Balancing is a beautiful therapy to receive for the body and the mind. Relaxing, calming and centring, Zero Balancing is a gentle yet powerful way of balancing body energy with body structure. It invites the release of tensions accumulated in the deep structures of the body.
Zero Balancing has many healing benefits either for existing conditions, or to support a demanding, busy life.
Some of the effects of a Zero Balancing session;
- Release of tension in the body
- Easing of pain or stiffness
- Helping a natural re-alignment of the body
- Feeling more at home and integrated in your body, mind and spirit
- Re-energise and refresh your soul
- Improving insight, inspiration and creativity
- Overcoming blocks in realising your potential
Really Zero Balancing has to be experienced directly; words rarely do justice to the feeling of being so wholely supported. And of course everyone has their own personal experience particular to their needs on the day.
Zero Balancing and personal growth
A Zero Balancing session can facilitate the flow of life force within you, opening you up to new possibilities and releasing old less helpful patterns which are self-limiting. It is possible to move into new states of awareness where you discover your true nature, and realise your inner potential.
My own experience of Zero Balancing is very much one of opening up and discovering the real me.
Deep relaxation in Zero Balancing nurtures our natural talents and creative energy.
