About Polarity Therapy
Polarity therapy is a holistic healing
system that works with this
"life energy" in all its forms, using a comprehensive system of
bodywork, exercise, nutritional guidance and verbal counseling.
The goal of polarity therapy is
to realign and unite body, mind, spirit and emotions into harmony and
vibrant health.
The characteristics of the human
energy field have been known for centuries. For example, the term
"polarity" refers to the universal pulsation of
expansion/contraction or repulsion/ attraction, known as yang and yin in
Oriental medicine. The understanding of the universal
"life force" is known as "chi"
in Oriental therapies, while in Indian Ayurveda it is known as
"prana." Although this belief has been the basis of Eastern
medical tradition for thousands of years, modern Western scientific
research is now just beginning to understand and embrace the belief that
energy is the source of all life.
The more recent and intensified interest in
polarity therapy stems from its increasing success in preventing or
treating such conditions as stress, arthritis, frozen shoulder, chronic
fatigue syndrome, cancer, trauma resolution and back pain. Even athletes
are using polarity to achieve and maintain peak performance.
The human body has an energy system
similar to a magnet, having positive, negative and neutral poles and
currents that flow through them. Subtle electromagnetic fields and
currents are present in every cell, tissue and organ, and function to
organize, vitalize and sustain all living things. This life energy
expresses itself not only in our physical bodies, but also through our
thoughts, feelings, personal relationships and everyday experiences.
When these currents are flowing,
without significant blockage, we are functional, healthy and our
thoughts and emotions are in alignment with our
soul's truth (the source). When the currents are blocked, when
our thoughts, emotions and body are out of alignment with the energy
necessary to meet a life challenge, when we have moved away from source,
energy imbalances appear in the form of physical pain, emotional
distress and disease.
Currently, Western diagnostic tools, such as
the EKG and EEG, which monitor the activity of the heart and the brain,
respectively, are the closest we come to measuring these energetic or
electrical currents in the body. Polarity practitioners use their hands
to scan the body and energy currents surrounding the body in order to
identify and release blocks and restrictions.
Experiencing a polarity therapy session
Sessions usually take 60-90 minutes,does not require disrobing. It involves mostly light touch of different points of the body, applying hands on different areas, putting crystals on the front and then on the back of the body in order to release energy blocks, balance energy, clear and align. It also involves cranio-sacral work. A Polarity session with a skilled practitioner will result in deep relaxation, state of mental and emotional clarity, feeling of inner balance and strength, release of physical pain as well as emotional. Continued sessions will assist client in maintaining focus and balance and continuation of enhanced and empowered personal growth.Benefits of Polarity Therapy
