ERO Balancing is the art of simultaneously touching and balancing the structure and the energy of the body. In fact, it is often this experience of touching both energy and structure that makes a Zero Balancing session memorable, when the sensations and perceptions of the receiver are intensified and felt in the whole body. By the structure of the body, we mean the physical body – the bones, the organs, the muscles, skin and other soft tissue. Of course, our physical structure is vitally important to our health and much of medicine is devoted to healing this part of our being. The energy part is a more difficult idea for some people to grasp. In Asian cultures the concept of Ch’i energy is better understood. Ch’i is central to all ancient Chinese practices – not just in medicine, but also in painting, poetry, music, dance, martial arts, politics, spirituality and, indeed, all of life. We know there are many energetic aspects of the body, including heat, electrical signals in the brain and body, electrons floating in our blood and lymph systems. All of these create electric fields. Zero Balancers believe there is a bio-energy in the body, different from the nervous system, which influences the nervous system. If so, our scientific instruments are not yet sensitive enough to find it. But you can feel that energy with your hands, and you can work with it to help people heal.
