Sometimes life knocks us to the floor. We hit bottom and don't know what to do. Maybe there's nothing we can do to change the situation, particularly if it involves the condition of another person. Then there are times when nothing seems to be happening. Nothing we do seems to work the way we want it to. All our efforts seems to be fruitless and just tire us out. These are some of the ways that zero points can manifest in our life. Often the feelings we experience are fear, anger, frustration, apathy, helplessness, rage or disappointment.
Zero as the Beginning
It was about thirteen years ago that I first learnt how to navigate successfully through zero points in life. I was seeing all I'd worked for and dreamed of suddenly falling away from me. I felt utter terror and bewilderment, with my mind racing to find answers yet coming up blank. During this period I had a client come to see me whose zero points were off the scale and in fact had made National news headlines. It was about her third session when she seemed different and began talking about this concept of zero points. A friend of hers had talked about how zero could be seen as a valuable turning point in the natural cycle of life and wondered what my view was. I suddenly remembered the opening lines of the Pathway Balancing Kinesiology system and reached for the first manual in the series, opening it at the first page and read out the opening paragraph to her:
Gateway 1 - Trackways of the Soul
Barrenness. The bottom. Facing death. Soul. Point of nothing. Disconnection. Being unseen and unheard. Limbo. Being cut off from both life and death. Danger. Living hell in the present. And then connected, being seen and heard. Uplifted. Safe. Soothed. Fecundity. Living life. Heaven on Earth in the present moment. Seeing zero as the beginning, the everything, the all.
A Light in a Dark Place
In the early years of Pathway Balancing Kinesiology, myself and other kinesiologists questioned why the Journey material started with such dark descriptions. Even the colour associated with Gateway 1 was Black. You see I didn't write this stuff. Yes I wrote it down and am credited as its author and the owner of the intellectual property rights, but I received this material and simply acted as a scribe. It comes as an intuitive download when I'm working with individual clients or conducting group sessions. However I do have editing rights and there have been times when I've reviewed the material in the light of new revelations, so why have I chosen to keep these opening words and risk alienating people who may draw back from such strong statements?
From Overwhelm to Safe Connection
Because of who Pathway Balancing is for. Because if people just want to paint on a smile, recite a few positive affirmations, tap on a meridian point to try and make it all go away or even knock back a bottle of wine to dull the pain, then this isn't the system for them. Because the reality of this fallen world is that it hurts people and damages lives. So when the darkness seems to overwhelm you and life becomes a bottomless pit or reaches a standstill, there is somewhere safe to turn to. So that when you are lost in the darkness of a downward spiral, there is someone who will hear you, listen to you and call you towards the light again. When the darkness of a zero point comes, don't stay stuck in the barrenness. Head towards the light of life, strike a match, press the 'On' button to light up your mobile phone screen and begin to learn about zero as a natural point for a bright new beginning.
The Pathway Balancing Journey material is unique and original and only available from myself or one of the six Pathway Balancing Kinesiology Practitioners that I have personally trained to full professional level :- Sue Preston-Eyles, Jolene Ironside, Stella Brookes, Owen Wheatley, David (Veda) Harper and Shirley Wilkins.
