Great article by a great Zero Balancing teacher

WHY ZERO? WHY ZERO BALANCING? — David Lauterstein The structure and energy of the evolved skeletal system is something we have inherited that embodies the wisdom, the solutions of countless ancestors in the biological and existential world. When we experience what a sacred gift our life is – that’s when healing is most possible.

I finally wrote how I got involved with acupuncture:

And So It Begins
Often, I’m asked how I got started with acupuncture. Hint; my story isn’t a fantastic adventure of pursuing a life-long dream or even a riveting tale involving a mystical experience that crystalized my destiny. Quite honestly, my path to acupuncture meandered a bit, and in the end, acupuncture found me.
Back story: Growing up I suffered with chronic allergies. I sought relief in allergy shots, medication, and even went so far as to have sinus surgery (four of them). All of which only slightly helped. It was after my second surgery that I realized my efforts were only addressing my symptoms. Seeking lasting relief, I began to contemplate the idea of a more holistic approach to my situation.
I was in San Francisco attending a yoga teacher training when I decided I needed to get outside and clear my head. While on my walk, I saw a sandwich board advertising treatment at a clinic run by an acupuncture school. Since it was a school clinic, the practitioners were students which made the treatments inexpensive. I thought, why not? I had several treatments that week and found I was able to breathe easier. Back in my home state of Michigan, I continued to seek out treatment - sometimes traveling across to Windsor, Canada or riding my bicycle many miles for an appointment. In those days, acupuncture wasn’t easy to find.
Attending the yoga teacher training had been a respite from my real life. At the time, I was pursing an engineering degree. While using form, structure, and analysis to help people function optimally in their workspace sounded appealing, even challenging, something was missing. I wasn’t sure engineering was what I wanted to do as a lifelong venture. Engineering just didn’t engage my heart and ignite my passion.
Trying to diversify my course load and give some freshness to my outlook, I enrolled in classes about nutrition, psychology, and physiology. In the end, I obtained both a Bachelor of General Studies degree and an Industrial Engineering degree.
Still not enthused to be an industrial engineer, I joined the Peace Corps upon graduation. My assignment was to Ghana to set up a school teaching vocational skills. While there I contracted malaria five times and was eventually sent home early. I arrived home weak and exhausted. I wondered if acupuncture would help as it had done with my breathing. By combining acupuncture, herbs, and good nutrition, I was able to get my strength back.
Twice now acupuncture had come through for me, but I still hadn’t considered it an option for my career. Instead, I began taking classes to become a massage therapist while working a day job at a residential psychiatric center.
I was still receiving acupuncture treatments and decided to take classes to learn more about exactly what the acupuncture was doing for my health and well -being. It was Lonnie Jarret, a well-known acupuncture teacher, who got me excited about the idea of studying acupuncture as a profession. Finally!
I was enthralled by this ancient tradition and marveled at the complexity of the medicine and how it assisted people to function optimally.
Acupuncture brought together my two worlds. I love the way I get to use my heart, my senses and my engineer mind to understand what a body is saying and what I might be able to do to assist with healing. The rest, as they say, is history.

This is a great article on FEAR = Forgetting Everything is All Right http://www.moneysuccesshappiness.com/2012/09/scared-to-life-vs-scared-to-death/

Scared to Life (vs. Scared to Death) In my work with people, and in my own personal life, one of the biggest components of happiness, success, obstacles, or challenges always seems to boil down to one thing: FEAR. Now, you may think you know what fear means… you certainly know what it feels like… but let me paraphrase a definition I li...

Acupuncture and heartbreak in 350 words
A few months ago it became clear that the woman with whom I was head over heels wasn’t taken with me. I was heartbroken – for me a feeling of sadness and aching in my chest. I weathered the storm of the ending of other relationships including a fourteen year marriage. I could rationalize and perhaps repress the uncomfortable feelings. The next morning I woke early for seemingly no apparent reason. I sat in my meditation corner and soon the tears poured out - for a while. Although I analyzed some, mostly I was able to let the emotion flow through me.

Had I not had my own acupuncture treatment around this time it is likely the feelings would not have come out so easily. The grief, heartache, and sadness might have stayed in, perhaps manifesting in chronic sinus conditions that were a part of my earlier life. I might have more harshly judged my feelings or blamed the lovely woman I dated. Or I might not have had the wherewithal to pick up the pieces, get needed help, and move on.

It is personal experiences with my own healing that influenced me to become an acupuncturist. I am fascinated by how clients (and I) are capable of growing through emotional and physical challenges when body, mind, and spirit are supported and balanced through acupuncture treatment. I love working with each client I see and supporting their well being in a unique manner. The way I work with Worsley Five Element acupuncture is similar regardless of whether the client is undergoing heartbreak or a named disease like arthritis or headaches. I look at the whole person, the way energy uniquely manifests in their life. From there I use individually crafted acupuncture treatments and lifestyle suggestions to promote the client’s ability move through the tough knocks of life – even finding reward in the process.

If you would like to explore how I can help you with acupuncture I invite you to visit my website www.acubalance.info , look at my videos, and call me for a free consultation to answer your questions 970-689-5926.

I want to help my clients heal as fast as possible and as slowly as - a quote I saw recently. In truth it is nature that does the healing in a safe, inexorable, beautiful unfolding.

Today I went to a cadaver lab in Colorado Springs. I learned the sciatic nerve is about a finger width wide. Bev and Bonnie, co-owners, are knowledgeable and great teachers. What a positive experience!
