Zero Balancing Expanded: Addressing the Viscera (formerly Spirit of the Organs) is a four-day course that teaches you how to evaluate, mobilize and balance the structure and energy of the visceral system, including internal organs, membranes, cavities and other important structures. Using anatomy knowledge and Zero Balancing principles (Interface, the Blue Line, fulcrums, working signs etc.), you will gain the skills and confidence to easily integrate visceral work into your ZB sessions. Through demonstrations and practice you will learn treatment protocols, specific fulcrums and techniques for individual organs, and general principles for constructing your own visceral fulcrums.


Please bring your copy of
Zero Balancing Expanded: The Attitude of Awaiting a Fish
This is the study guide for this class.

You will learn:

• The anatomy, mobility, and specific evaluations and fulcrums for each organ
• The 5-element acupuncture concepts of Elements and Officials, which introduces us to the energetic quality of each organ and its relationship to the entire body
• How each body cavity is related to certain qualities, roles, thoughts and emotions and how these impact us and our organs
• About the physical and functional relationships among different organs: Large Intestine, Small Intestine, Pancreas, Kidneys, Bladder, Heart, Lungs, and, Uterus, and between the Liver and Gall Bladder, and Stomach and Spleen
• How to evaluate and balance the abdomen and the valves of the digestive system

What Participants say about Zero Balancing Expanded: Addressing the Viscera:

“This is life-transforming work, titrated to be well-integrated by ZBer and receiver. The viscera work as taught by Lisa and Amanda deepens my practice and further supports my thriving clients and business.” Rex Jarrell, LMT

“I love this class! It has truly “expanded” the possibilities of my ZBs, expanded my understanding of Core principles in new ways, expanded how I live in my own body. Amanda and Lisa both clearly embody this work.” Megan Lavery

“I have been working with musculo-skeletal issues for so long. Who knew organs have such a role in dysfunction. ...this protocol and principles just make so much sense to me and the results have been POSITIVE.” Patty Reilly, PT

“I was trained in acupuncture, so think in terms of surface anatomy. This class helped me feel the viscera and volume of organs and cavities. Revolutionary shift of perception.” Mark Greiner, LAc
