Review of Zero Balancing: Conscious touch and transformation by Karli Beare, Co-Chair ZB Touch Foundation Board, ZB UK Faculty & ZB Cert
In this compelling book, James McCormick successfully sheds a welcome light on the great mystery of how the power of conscious touch can facilitate self-actualization and the unique potential of Zero Balancing as a profound tool in the service of personal transformation and wellness.
Clients generously share intimate aspects of their personal process, allowing the reader to journey with them as they are able finally to release deeply repressed emotions, and associated body-held pain, that have historically limited their personal growth. And thereafter, how easily new insights and feelings of increased well-being and clarity are integrated to enhance their daily lives as they move forward.
Existing healthcare practitioners will find the detailed exploration of the principles of Zero Balancing together with recent research into Zero Balancing intriguing. This narrative offers tantalising insights into the foundational theories that underpin the healing benefits of working with energy in the body through conscious touch and how transformational a 30-minute Zero Balancing session can prove to be.
Review of Zero Balancing: Conscious touch and transformation by Misty Rhoads PhD CZB
Zero Balancing: Conscious Touch and Transformation, by pioneering transformative touch practitioner and teacher James McCormick, is a profound and engaging textbook that teaches readers a multi-layered approach to working with the body, mind, and spirit through skilled, conscious touch. The author, a seasoned acupuncturist and Zero Balancing teacher, skilfully shares the power of living from our core selves through cases studies, research, and wisdom gained from decades as a teacher and practitioner.
Zero Balancing: Conscious Touch and Transformation shows us that the body, mind, and spirit are interconnected and interdependent, and how Zero Balancing practitioners support the whole being with skills and training that help amplify wellness by bringing the physical and psycho-spiritual lives into balance.
The essence of the textbook lies in the fact that even though we live in a world that is stressful and may encourage people to repress their feelings, we can unify the body, mind, and spirit to help people connect back to their core selves and to help with healing. Emotional issues, trauma, and illness cannot be treated by isolating these dimensions, but by holistically treating the entirety of a person.
McCormick explains one of the basic beliefs in Zero Balancing, supported by our clinical experience – that we can find the vibration of every part of the person somewhere in their energetic field. Physicists can still find the vibration of the big bang present in the world today, even though it is now thought to be 13 billion years ago. In a similar way, our earlier life experiences leave an energetic imprint in our bodies. We can find evidence of earlier traumas in the bones and energy of a person, and we can also always find the ‘wellness’ in a person’s vibration. A ZB practitioner can work with those imprints to assist the person in their journey towards self-actualization.
Jim introduces all the concepts crucial for understanding Zero Balancing, for instance: structure and energy, the importance of our bones, physiological working signs, creating a frame for the session, fulcrums, expanded states of healing, boundaries, trauma issues, and research. The author gives specific diagrams, charts, and real-life examples to increase understanding of the material. Jim’s writing style is dynamic and easy to comprehend.
After reading Zero Balancing: Conscious Touch and Transformation, I gained a deeper appreciation of the theory and process of Zero Balancing. I will be requiring this textbook in my Zero Balancing and Integrative Medicine courses. This book is full of wisdom and helps us understand the complexities of the body, mind, and spirit connection in healing and is brilliantly written to be accessible to both practitioners and lay public.
The journey to understanding healing, the body-mind-spirit connection, and becoming a skilful practitioner or living a skllful life, takes a lifetime, but if you want to understand the essence of Zero Balancing, transformative touch and its effect on people, in hours, you will want to read Zero Balancing: Conscious Touch and Transformation by Jim McCormick.
