FOR MORE INFORMATION ON ZERO BALANCING, VISIT WWW.ZEROBALANCING.COM. FS: One thing we have noticed over the years is that people seem to get healthier from performing Zero Balancing. When the practitioner puts in a fulcrum and holds it stationary for some seconds, part of the practitioner's body-mind goes into a state of stillness or quiet because they are holding that point in stillness. A still, quiet body-mind is one goal of meditation. In a sense, the Zero Balancing practitioner is going in and out of a meditative state many times every session. Over time, the Zero Balancer's mind is quieter, their fields become clearer and more harmonic, and they become more internally peaceful. They become healthier. They're also healthier because they begin to experience the world from an alternative energetic perspective that allows a more intimate connection with nature. We can all easily feel the energy of the wind as it blows. And as energy becomes more real, we can also feel the energy of a grove of trees or see the energy around a flying bird. Our relationship with nature becomes continually deeper and more personal because we begin to appreciate its energy, not just its physical form. This enriches everything. DL: Who can practice Zero Balancing and how many of you are there currently? FS: Zero Balancing is an advanced studies program for the healthcare practitioner. Up until this time, people practice Zero Balancing under some umbrella license or certificate from another of the healing arts. We have taught people from most of the healing arts, including physiotherapists, massage therapists and bodyworkers of all sorts, psychologists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, osteopaths, and medical doctors to mention some examples. Zero Balancing has grown in a very natural way. We've never had a five- year goal; we've never pushed ourselves through advertising. The world is kind of discovering us. Zero Balancing has been around since the early 1970s. There are now more than 500 practitioners worldwide, with about another 500 actively engaged in the certification process. Most are in the United States and England, but there are certified Zero Balancers in Canada, Mexico, Switzerland, Spain, Morocco, Belgium, Italy, New Zealand, and visit massageandbodywork.com to access your digital magazine 77
