Namaste -


> Just to add my perspective as a Zero Balancer on John's
Feed-back...

G: of course that is fine ......

> I think his description is excellent, and well observed
considering he was in an altered state (with his permission,
and yours I'd like to use it as a case history in my promotional
material).

G: that is up to him ---- it has nothing to do with me.....

> The interview before the session is used to frame the
participant's experience of the session; by having them recall
significant events leading up to "now" and to focus on their
current experience of being in their body, we create a frame in
which changes can occur.

G: ok....

> I wouldn't go so far as to say that Zero Balancing can reverse
the adverse effects of living, but by connecting with them, the
> neutrality of an altered state opens people to their own
changes.

G: it can move them forward .....

> Neutrality of purpose is an important principle in Zero
Balancing.
> Fritz Smith took pains to explain that our job as a practitioner is
> to hold 100 percent of attention and zero percent of intention
when we're working with people. As much as we might want to
"heal" whatever our patient presumes(or worse that we might
presume) is wrong with them, it's not up to us to impose our
will, but simply to offer a neutral space in which the work that
needs to be done can occur.

G: yes ....... here those doing the healing work simply remain in
a meditation state of no mind..... this allows the energy and the
participant to merge and enter their own dance .....

> The body-felt changes that John describes are pretty much
standard. Each session follows the same protocol, with a few
small variations, to alter the focus on specific areas of pain for
example, but even though each session is the same to a casual
observer, the reality of the experience is completely different,
even with the same patient a week later.

G: it can continue to work for quite sometime after ......

> It is quite common during a session for the person to
experience a range of mood changes, there can be laughter and
tears; some people experience total recall of long forgotten
memories. Some that I have worked on have "revisited"
childhood situations, recalled significant conversations, and
accessed quite specific dreams whilst they have
> been on the table (and afterwards in their sleep).

G: today one being worked on had many traumatic past
lifetime events discharging ...... this opens the way for letting
go of subconscious glitches and allows healing to take place in
deeper levels .... sometimes cellular memories release so that
present day balancing may occur .....

> Although the areas where attention is given are the same and
> connections (fulcrums in ZB jargon) are made in the same
sequence, the degree of presssure (which ranges from hardly
any and to almost none) and the length of time (usually around
ten or twenty seconds) and the pauses between fulcrums
depend on what the practitioner feels through their fingers; but if
anyone asks me to explain what I feel, I can't tell them.

G: it is the same here ..... one cannot describe how the energy
feels as it is adusting .... one just Knows and feels when a
balance has been reached .... or as much balance as will take
place in This Moment ....

> One of the biggest problems in offering Zero Balancing to
people is to explain to them what it's good for. In my experience
it seems able to "fix" pretty much anything. Yesterday I used it to
help a cab-driver with a bad back, today I used it to help relieve
the rheumaticky joint pain of a lady suffering from lupus.
Tomorrow, I'm helping a woman who's husband has deserted
her for a "younger model" and both sons having left home, is
now facing the grief of the forced sale of a family home that she
has cherished for thirty years.

G: it works on whatever level is needed ..... whether physical -
mental or subtle ......


> I expect that John will find (or maybe has already discovered)
that the effects of his one Zero Balancing session have lasted a
lot longer than the confines of the actual session and that he will
> continue to experience beneficial reverberations in his whole
being for some time yet.

G: yes it continues to unfold for sometime ....

> So aside from just helping people to feel good, I am constantly
> amazed (and humbled) by the power of Zero Balancing to help
people in ways that seem to extend the scope of bodywork way
beyond the confines of the body into the areas of deep spiritual
quiet that empower permanent changes.

G: here some can enter into stilled mind and flow ..... some
can and do open to deeper spiritual experiences ....

> By enhancing our experience of being who we are, Zero
Balancing seems able to enhance our experience of life itself.

G: as one lets go ---- then flow may take place..... as the
shadows are removed then the pure Light of Being may be
encountered as ones original nature .....
