POLARITY THERAPY
Polarity Therapy, based on the
teachings of Randolph Stone, in its highest essence, helps unblock that which
keeps us from experiencing our ongoing connection and flow with Source.
Polarity therapy is a gracefully integrated system of understanding and
working with the field of dynamic and creative energy that is the embodied
self. It honors the holographic nature of existence. Every cell, every
structure, and every system carries within it all the elements of the universe
and the universe celebrates the inter-relatedness of all life. Polarity
therapy dances in and through these layers, these mirrors, these reflections;
seeking to facilitate a return to unencumbered flow, harmony and aliveness.
It is a system that
empowers the individual seeking treatment to take simple yet profound action
to balance themselves through awareness, exercise and movement, sound, and
nutrition. Polarity therapy invites the individual to meaningfully engage in
a co-creative partnership of healing. (S)he becomes aware of the space of
Being and connection to Source or the grief of disconnection (ether), the flow
of mind, movement, compassion, and inspiration (air), the passion of
creativity, directedness, and digestion (fire), the flow of feelings, death
and rebirth, and circulation (water), and the sense of grounding, structure,
and home (earth) as integral parts of the bodymind. The elements are no longer
just theoretical concepts, they are a clear part of experiencing and embracing
life. We become aware of when they move out of balance and how to bring
balance back to our lives. Exercises for working with each element are
taught, as are foods that help bring the system into balance (pulling from
healing traditions of the East and the West).
As Randolph Stone said, "Life
must flow constantly to express itself." Health is described as the energy of
life flowing smoothly and in balance.
Dis-ease is the presence of
blocks and imbalances to that flow in the wireless anatomy. Polarity Therapy
focuses on re-establishing the health, the flow, the aliveness that Source
directed into our being and that has
moved out of balance in our
sometimes tempestuous journey of becoming. It is a holistic and humanistic
approach and vision that addresses the living, creative being before us as an
interwoven balance of mind, body, emotion, and Spirit
Polarity Therapy
According to Polarity Therapists, the body is a system of energy fields, with the life energy kept in constant motion by the magnetic pull of opposing poles. Depleted or stagnant energy currents result in illness and bad health. Practitioners believe that poor nutrition and digestion are frequent causes of many physical problems; for this reason, cleansing diets are often prescribed to rid the body of accumulated toxins. Simple yoga exercises are often advocated to maintain muscle tone and strengthen the spine. Polarity therapists will also counsel patients to enhance self-esteem, as negative thought can impede energy flow.
History
Developed by the Osteopath and Chiropractor Dr. Randolph Stone, Polarity Therapy works primarily with the energy fields that underlie the human body. It is based on the energy model that was developed in India three thousand years ago and which is combined with the Western understanding of the structure and function of the body. The resulting combination becomes a very potent therapy which has a wide application to health at the mental, emotional and physical level.
What to Expect
You will be asked about your medical history and lifestyle; the practitioner will then assess your energy flow as you lie, usually clothed, on a treatment table. He or she will then use various forms of pressure to clear any blockages. You may be given exercises to do at home, along with advice about diet.
