Expanded States of Consciousness
In Zero Balancing we often work with Expanded
States of Consciousness. Brain physiology tells
us there are a number of brain waves possible,
each having its own characteristics. In Zero Balancing
we use the term Expanded States of Consciousness
or Altered States of Consciousness to indicate
brain waves that move away from a beta linear-thinking
mind set. Whereas we do not attempt to define
exactly which brain wave the person is functioning
in, we monitor body signals and body language
to indicate to us that the person is in fact in
an Expanded State of Consciousness.
Experience has taught us that as people move
into expanded states they are less held to specific
definitions of themselves, definitions in which
illnesses are often embedded. People seem more
prone to change and to healing in expanded states
than in normal brain wave states. Thus we teach
how to use touch to bring about an Expanded State
of Consciousness.
Expanded consciousness can be brought about by
introducing two contrary sensations, such as pain
and pleasure. In Zero Balancing we have defined
the term hedonic to mean hurts good. Holding a
hedonic fulcrum will induce an Expanded State
of Consciousness.
Another way of inducing expanded consciousness
is by holding two contrary stimuli into a singular
experience for the client. This provides the client
with an experience of unity, which is an Expanded
State of Consciousness, or enhanced awareness.
