My friend Clare Gowen is teaching ZB I and 2 on the shore in CT in June - should be fun, restful, inspiring and enhancing to your body work practice.

Join Us Oceanside at Crescent Beach in Niantic, CT. This refreshing time will help you learn how to touch the structure and energy of bone, simultaneously and consciously. Zero Balancing is a SO-year old protocol which has amazing effects on people. Touch at this deep level engages the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the client.

Newly published in the International Journal of ZB and Transformative Touch

Integrating Psychedelic Experiences through Touch, by James Salomons, a ZB practitioner from Edinburgh, explores the use of Zero Balancing in integrating psychedelic experiences through sessions with three volunteers. inner-flow.uk

The author writes: "My theory is that, using conscious touch, it's possible to connect with the person's psychedelic experience – its qualities, to be more exact – and help ground it into their literal and metaphoric bones. Doing so would help them integrate these qualities into their everyday life."

Life is full of questions. Penetrating Heaven, a technique that combines Zero Balancing with the wisdom of Chinese Acupuncture, offers a simple yet effective method for finding our very own answers. By allowing us to access our deepest and highest potential, Penetrating Heaven enables us to receive meaningful guidance for our everyday life.

Zero Balancing, a profound bodywork that relaxes us right down to our bones, has been called “bodywork for the mind” because it can allow us to enter altered states of consciousness. Through the use of touch on a specific Acupuncture point, Penetrating Heaven enhances and provides a focus for these altered states of consciousness, giving us the opportunity to explore hidden parts of ourselves that yield insights and inspiration for our personal path.

In this fascinating and inspirational book, Gethyn Williams describes how he developed Penetrating Heaven, how the technique is applied and how it is incorporated into the Zero Balancing protocol. Aimed first and foremost at trained Zero Balancing practitioners, the text is also easily understood by laypeople interested in how one can tap into the nature of consciousness for the purpose of healing and personal growth.
The powerful effect of Penetrating Heaven is documented in case examples and client feedback. The inner experiences that recipients of this new healing art share in the pages of this book are highly intriguing, deeply moving and at times nothing short of life-changing.

ribs..

Why do we talk about a rib-cage?

I much prefer to consider my ribs a basket, of flexibly sturdy material, that will hold the precious contents inside.

My lungs,
my heart.

I'd rather they weren't enclosed in an impermeable fortress.
Perhaps a ribcage is suitable analogy during wartime, but not during lovetime, or laughtime, or take-a-deep-breathtime.

I want a flexible rib-basket that will support a deep and vital breath, the first food of my body.

When I hold your rib-cage, my hands spanning as much of the curve of your upper back as I can reach, I invite you to feel the containing basket. Encouraging your bones to remember that there are a million ways to protect and serve, and many of them can be light-hearted.

How about you?

from a friend who also does Zero Balancing in her practice, a client response well said.
Thanks Mary Beth for sharing.

“I can’t believe it! I can sit up properly and I feel good walking!
The treatment was so gentle and now I feel so much better!”

First client of the day. In for her second session. Many self employed people really need to feel good to keep their business going.
Don’t I know it!
It is so hard to describe Zero Balancing. It is gentle. The results are powerful.❤️
Happy bones! Happy life.

My favorite body/mind/spirit/soul therapy. Thank you forever Fritz Smith.

The fundamental principle of Zero Balancing is that we are made up of particles and waves, which comprise our two bodies of structure and energy. Western scientific approaches to health and healing are mostly based on the structural aspect of our being. Eastern and some alternative approaches include the energetic aspect. Zero Balancing is related to both. I believe that if you are trained in structure, you need to recognize energy; if you are trained in energy, you need to recognize structure; if you know both, you can put them together. -Fritz Smith, MD from his book The Alchemy of Touch

One of the things that makes Zero Balancing so powerful and also endlessly fascinating is that you get to ask for what you want and need each time you receive a treatment.

"Your wish or intention for your treatment–in ZB language we call it the frame, an energetic container that can amplify whatever is placed within its boundaries–is the wildcard that can take you from a freer shoulder to the outer reaches of consciousness. The frame frees me as your practitioner from the responsibility of fulfilling your wish. We are in this together. You and I have made a leap of faith, assuming that there is more power at our disposal beyond what we hold in our normal beliefs. In other words, by working with energy, we can manifest almost anything."
