  • The Science of Energy Therapies and Contemplative Practice a Conceptual Review and the Application of Zero Balancing
    FEATURES The Science of Energy Therapies and Contemplative Practice A Conceptual Review and the Application of Zero Balancing ■ Sallie Stoltz Denner, MSN, CCIT, CZB, CRNA The topic of energy therapies is prompted by the increasing attention of healthcare practitioners and consumers to Eastern philosophies and ancient healing practices. This article includes a conceptual framework of quantum physics principles providing the basis of interpretation of energetic phenomena, along with the exploration of theoretical concepts involving energy as a communicational network. An overview of the contemplative tradition of meditation indicates its necessity as a requisite element of energy therapies, the practice combining a knowledge base of the core scientific precepts with the experience of restorative strategies. The relevance of energy therapies as a path to self-transcendence along with the application of a specific touch technique, Zero Balancing, is highlighted. KEY WORDS: energy medicine, energy psychology, entrainment, mindfulness-based stress reduction, psychoneuroimmunology, putative energy fields, quantum physics, self-transcendence, stress, transcendental meditation, Zero Balancing Holist Nurs Pract 2009;23(6):315–334 Our traditional medical model designed to address Ironically, a contributing factor is medical progress diseases once manifested, rather than to promote itself: As people live longer, they develop many optimal health and prevent reoccurrence, delivers stress-related diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, treatment more relevant to acute illnesses than diabetes, Alzheimer disease, and cancer.

The Miracle of Zero Balancing Newly Certified ZBers ZB at the Pentagon by Karla Moffet In June of 2018, I received an email from AMTA’s Virginia Chapter announcing, “Massage at the Pentagon.” My immediate response was, “Yes, this is what we all have had in our hearts, minds and in our pyramids—a larger platform for ZB to be expressed and embraced! I immediately called, Steve, the organizer, and said that I would like to participate. Though “Massage and Reflexology” were the only bodywork modalities offered, I encouraged Steve to be open to the benefits of Zero Balancing—a calm mind, mental clarity and inner peace. Our first day at the Pentagon, June 25, included 9 practitioners—4 massage therapists, 4 reflexologists and 1 ZB practitioner. My work was to educate prospective clients about ZB. Two people, from the same department, came in and when I explained that ZB reduces stress in the body, the women looked at her colleague and said, “You need ZB now, and I’m paying for it!” The man receiving ZB was very tall; when he stood up, his colleague and 4 others said, “you look taller!” He seemed to really “get” that ZB was and is an inside job. We returned to the Pentagon in July. All 10 clients I had that day felt the relaxing benefits of ZB; in addition, there were 2 or 3 who experienced an expanded state of well-being.
