Core ZB I Friday- Sunday, November 7- 10 9am-4:30pm
I welcome you to a valuable course for your professional practice and great principles and tools for your everyday life. You will learn a simple and unique way to touch someone so that it feels safe, effective, comforting and with practice is easier on your body than most direct pressure methods.
Enjoy discovering how the body signals that it is making energetic and structural shifts that enhance an over all sense of well being and simultaneously addresses joint and muscular imbalances and calms the nervous system!

Gentle When I touch someone I do so with the intent to help them connect to themselves. Our founder, Dr.Fritz Smith’s philosophy is that everything should feel good or hurt good. When I touch a point that is tender my client will often say, “I didn’t know that was sore.” I may ask a question or say, “I’m sorry that hurts there. In my hands it feels “tense or buzzy or dense.” Just a word to let them know I recognize that area too and move my fingers to another point. After another minute or two going back to the same area there is rarely any sensation of discomfort and I can quietly move on.
Clear In our training we teach students of ZB (Zero Balancing) how to simultaneously notice where their own boundary of touch sensation ends and where it starts to be aware of the other person. We call it interface. We use simple exercises and descriptions based on the principals of nature. And every Advanced Zero Balancing class, after the first two four day Core ZB classes, teachers and mentors help students refine that skill and encourage them to let each other know whether the touch needs to have a little more structural or energetic feel for them as individuals.
Connected There are 2 qualities we ask students to pay attention to, the energetic presence and the tactile structure of the layers down to the bone. When both those aspects are present we have coined the term “donkey connection.” It came from an observation during an early Zero Balancing excursion. Donkeys with a heavy burden will lean into one another to keep a steady footing on a steep hill. Even the inside donkey presses it’s body toward the one on the dangerous downhill side. They work together to ease their burdens. To master interface touch takes a good bit of practice with many different people so we review it frequently. Students do quite well by the end of the first 4 day class. Learning how to keep it constantly fresh is a never ending practice. Core Zero Balancing is taught in 2 parts. During the second 4 day class there is review and practice and always, always helping one another refine the interface connection in conjunction with the new techniques added to the basic ZB protocol.
These three key aspects are essential to our clients developing trust and making gains in their life based on the reasons they chose to receive Zero Balancing. It feels safe, respectful and always our aim is to have the highest personal regard, a founding principal espoused by Dr. Smith.

I find myself noticing all the little tensions in my body. Especially when I slow down enough to drop out of busy mind. One of the techniques I’ve been sharing with my clients is a simple self massage using only your breath.
Imagine your ribs. They move in numerous ways but not very far in any direction individually. As a coordinated team they can make a grand motion that stretches your entire torso to it’s maximum potential. Every organ, every muscle and every bit of connective tissue is going along with your full inhale stretch, smoothing out and releasing the wrinkled compression we get from sitting too much, scrunching our necks to see screens or distant objects, and cringing from the hourly news.
Try it now.
Take one long full breath and sniff a wee bit more air in until you feel like you’re going to burst with air. Hold your breath at this peak to a count of 3 – 10. (Build up to a comfortable number so it’s a fun challenge- not painful!) During the hold consciously let your arms and shoulders drop and your low belly, hips & face soften a bit.
Then release the breath with control through your nose. At the bottom of this breath use your abdominal muscles to squeeze a bit more air out through your nose with a quick snort. Now hold your breath out to a count of 3 – 10 so it’s a gentle challenge.
Let your next inhale come in naturally and feel the inspiration both physically and energetically! Repeat 3 at a time many times through out your day. Your whole body is refreshed with oxygen, you’ve expelled additional toxins from your lungs AND many muscles have been given a self massage!
Try it when you can lie on the ground and look up at a brilliant summer sky!
Bliss for all and all for bliss!
