This study explored the relationship between Zero-Balancing (ZB) treatment, a bodywork which balances both the physical body and the energy body, and spiritual growth to illuminate the larger relationship between the physical and spiritual. The definitions of 5 Subtle Qualities (openness, expansiveness/inclusiveness, flexibility/fluidity, balance, and awareness) were created and explored in their physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects in order to describe the subtle changes noted by ZB recipients. Using these definitions, and then a new transpersonal assessment, the Subtle Qualities Self Questionnaire (SQSQ) was developed, refined, and validated by the research. An integrative methodology with both qualitative (semi-structured interview, thematic content analysis) and quantitative (correlation analysis of standardized assessments) methods was used. In the qualitative study, six long-term ZB recipients (3 females, 3 males, 1 was non-Caucasian) were interviewed with open-ended questions. Analysis of themes and contents confirmed the presence of Subtle Qualities, which were also assessed quantitatively. In the quantitative study, 76 participants (66 females, 10 males; age range: 31–60; 4 were non-Caucasian), having received different ranges of ZB sessions from none to over 100, reflected on their experiences and filled out 7 standardized questionnaires to assess their physical and psycho/spiritual experiences and well-being. In addition to the Subtle Qualities, the assessed qualities included self-actualization, self-identity, self-transcendence, life change, body awareness, and physical well-being. Correlation analyses indicated that the Subtle Qualities were the most pronounced and consistent changes resulting from ZB and were significantly correlated with the amount of ZB treatment. A pioneering design, the third-party report, was implemented in both studies to explore an objective view of the transpersonal changes and to improve the objectivity of the research. Results showed that transpersonal changes could be observed internally and externally. Analyses of the inter-relationships among the sub-scales provided empirical support of physical/spiritual connection, especially on the subtle level, which then extends to and explicates theories about the holistic integration of body, mind, and spirit. The theoretical and empirical extension of this study in conjunction with the application of the SQSQ could further support the psycho/spiritual potential of bodywork and expand the future research of psycho/spiritual practices.
