I often say Zero Balancing is medicine for our times and medicine in real time. What do I mean by that?
Medicine for our time. It is the coming of age of Artificial Intelligence. Just this term is confounding to me. All intelligence comes from the intelligence of nature, and every time humanity has tried to override or overrule organic intelligence, we have ben led further astray from our purpose and promise. I see the sparkle and shine of AI, but truthfully, I am much more interested in OI. Organic Intelligence. Even though all the perfect words are not here at my fingertips, the act of searching for some and typing them is exercising my awareness, my consciousness, my neural networks, my agency. Using my innate intelligence makes me grow and expand and delight in the effervescent synthesis of my own perspective. The essence of me is being shared along with the words and concepts pouring out of me. My soul is speaking to and from it’s creator in an intimate and singular vibratory pattern of energy and information. This is life; this bringing-forth , this emerging, this awakening. And touching this life force can only be done through the miraculous circuitry of the human body.
Medicine in real time. When we touch the body with great skill and consciousness, we help a person know themselves. Did you know that about 85% of all interoceptive nerves that end in the part of the brain known to be the seat of consciousness begin in the connective tissue of the body? The body is a constantly awake and aware transducer of all sensed phenomenon; it feels and feeds information into the insula and cingulate cortex of the brain so that we can assess meaning, tone, context, humor, innuendo, self-vs.-other, authenticity, etc. When we touch the body, we have the opportunity to release old, outmoded patterns of perception and response, and allow for new, evolved, expanded possibilities to be encoded in our neural networks.
In Zero Balancing, we see the nervous system respond by dropping into a parasympathetic state. We witness signs of expanded states of consciousness through the breath, the eyes, the voice, through body movement, emotional release, mental insight. It is well known in the field of neuroscience that in expanded brainwave states people are more open to change, creativity, insight, and healing. As we offer Zero Balancing touch to clients and patients, they begin to rewire, reprogram in real time. It is engaging and exciting to facilitate and fascinating to observe how a client’s body can re-organize, re-balance, and re-invent itself. Lives get better.
