WHAT IS POLARITY THERAPY?

Polarity Therapy is a very effective form of treatment which is much sought after in this age of holistic and complementary approaches to ill health.

This approach to health and healing, developed by Dr Randolph Stone, DO, DC, ND, employs a profound system that blends both eastern and western concepts of health. It deals with the whole person, mentally, emotionally and physically, by helping the body to heal itself naturally. Polarity Therapy is truly a complementary science. It recognises that energy has to move from a positive to a negative pole, through a neutral field; this concept was applied by Dr Stone to the human constitution. This scientific law is fundamental to the movement of energy throughout the universe and the earth around us: it manifests in our physical body as energetic currents, which Dr Stone referred to as the Wireless Anatomy of Man. Polarity Therapy works on many different levels: subtle energy; nervous, musculo-skeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive systems; gynaecological (excellent in pregnancy and after-care) and at emotional and mental levels. It has been found useful in dealing with many varied and different expressions of disease by unlocking the holding patterns that create the symptoms.

Bodywork

The therapist uses a series of subtle and/or deep qualities of touch, which allows the client's energy system to seek balance through facilitating previously unconscious tissue memory to surface. This incorporates three levels of touch: sattvic (very light), rajasic (stimulating), and tamasic (deep). It is important to note that where the client does not wish to have touch contact, the therapist will respect his/her wishes. This process can be relaxing and restorative; it can also allow emotional and personal issues to surface and become clearer.

Awareness/Process Skills

A Polarity Therapist will allow the client's own inherent "knowing" to emerge in its own time by building a secure therapeutic relationship. This increased awareness, together with the release of unconscious tissue memory, enables us to realise our own potential.

Health Building and/or Cleansing Diets and Procedures

These can be used to help detoxify the system. This in turn will free up the held life giving energy. Each person is assessed individually, as no one procedure is correct for everyone.

Polarity Yoga

These exercises not only release stagnation, but also allow the client to continue and maintain their own healing process.

These are the four aspects of Polarity Therapy that enable us to take responsibility for our wellbeing.
