A Zero Balancing Session:
– Is carried out whilst you remain fully clothed.
– Usually takes around 30 – 40 minutes
– The quality of touch is gentle but firm – taking you into a deep relaxation.
– Involves stretches and short held pressure with you lying on your back.
– There is a focus on bones and joints but it is non-manipulative as it works within normal ranges of motion.
– Normally the lower, then the upper body are worked on, closing with integrating moves.
– It gives the sense of being touched in a core way which harmonises your awareness of your structure with the experience of fully inhabiting your body.
Zero Balancing is a gentle and powerful method of balancing body energy with body structure. It integrates Western scientific knowledge with Oriental understandings of energy and healing into an original, practical and coherent bodywork method. Zero Balancing is valuable for a wide range of situations and has extensive applications in the maintenance of good health as well as personal development.
Zero Balancing is a gentle yet powerful experience of human touch.
Here at the Dorset Acupuncture Centre Alan Hext and Alice Rogers use Zero Balancing as a therapy in its own right and frequently as an accompaniment to acupuncture treatment.
Patients welcome the quality of touch which complements the power of working with needles.
