Every human body has a flow of electromagnetic energy in an around the body. When this flow is undisturbed, the individual enjoys TOTAL health and well being on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual plane. Polarity therapy, developed by Dr. Randolph Stone, is a system of balancing this electromagnetic energy through nutrition, exercise, counseling and energy balancing.
If the flow of energy is blocked or impeded the resulting tension is manifested as pain, disease or illness.
Polarity therapy seeks to remove these blockages and restrictions, thereby revitalizing the flow of energy in and around us. The resulting release from tension allows the patient?s system to return to its inherent fluid state.
What causes the block in energy? Human life is greatly influenced by factors such as environment, attitudes, life experiences, relationships and trauma. These external factors may affect us adversely and lead to blockages. The Polarity practitioner is trained to assess the patient?s energy system. For this, his main tools are palpitation, communication and skilled observation. Reflexology, energy exercises, touch, open communication and diet are some of the body works that are included in Polarity Therapy. These works enable the person to get better through self-awareness.
Polarity therapy can work in tandem with supervised medical care to cure allergies, arthritis, asthma, cancer, burn out, circulatory problems, depression, emotional problems, headache, hormonal imbalances, infertility, insomnia, injury, menstrual disorders, PMS, pre and post surgical pain, pregnancy, sciatica, skin diseases and problems related to stress.
In a typical Polarity therapy session, the patient is made to lie barefooted. Each session may last between 60-90 minutes. The practitioner guides the patient to focus all his attention and awareness on the subtle changes that he is experiencing. Some of the physical sensations include tingling, hot and cold waves or push/pull movements. Due to the subtle nature of this treatment, the patient may take some time to understand what he or she senses.
After the Polarity Therapy session, it is common for patients to feel a deep sense of relaxation and self-awareness. Patients also experience relief from specific symptoms and gain a new insight or clarity. Polarity therapy addresses the entire system of the person. Therefore the patient may experience a general improvement in the quality of his life as well as freedom from the symptoms that prompted him to therapy in the first place.
There is no fixed time span for this therapy. A patient may continue with the therapy for as long as he wishes. There is no fixed protocol followed in the therapy sessions. Communication is open ended, and one of the prime aims of the treatment is to facilitate self-awareness. The procedures used will vary from doctor to doctor and will also depend upon the needs of the client.
Polarity therapy is deeply influenced by the ancient Vedic philosophy from India that considers the human body to be made of the five Tattvas or five elements ? ether, air, fire, water and earth. There has to be a balance of these five elements for the individual to feel healthy and strong.
Polarity therapy thus stresses the importance of the body-mind continuum. The human being is considered to be an entire unit and healing process is practiced in a synergistic fashion.
