Polarity is a natural healthcare system. Its practice is based upon the universal principles of energy - attraction, repulsion and neutrality. The interrelation of these principles form the basis for every aspect of life - including our relationship to health, wellness and disease.
The practice of Polarity is a system of energetic touch and acupressure points that balance energy flow in the body. It involves energetic touch, energetic exercise and energetic food awareness. Polarity has its structure in the traditional system of Ayurvedic medicine and defines the patterns of health based upon the concept of energy movement and the balance of the five elements (Ether, Air, Fire Water, Earth).
Polarity consists of a step-down from Ether to Earth. Energy flows downward from Divine source on the right side of the body (known as involution) and flows up the left side of the body, seeking Divine source (known as evolution). As energy steps down from one element to the next it becomes more dense and structured until it gets to Earth where it manifests itself in form (the physical body). The step-down qualities of this pattern is seen in the nervous system - parasympathetic, sympathetic and central nervous system. The higher up the element is, the higher vibrational level is. The lower the element is, the lower vibrational level is.
Energy has three poles - positive (the head), neutral (the solar plexus) and negative (the feet). Energy also attracts and repulses. As it attracts and comes together, it also repulses and is thrown back out again only to be attracted again. This area of attraction and repulsion is where the chakras (means spinning wheels) emerge from.
Polarity Therapy was developed by Dr. Randolph Stone, DO, DC, ND (1890-1981). He found that the Human Energy Field is affected by touch, diet, movement, sound, attitudes, relationships, life experience, trauma and environmental factors.
The flow and balance of energy in the human body is the foundation of good health. Health is experienced when energy systems function in their natural state and energy flows smoothly without significant blockage. When energy is unbalanced or blocked pain and disease arise. Polarity Therapy seeks to find the blockages and release energy to normal flow patterns and to maintain the Energy Field in an open condition.
The benefits of Polarity Therapy are many. Some benefits are:
