Polarity Therapy
What is Polarity Therapy?

Energy fields and currents exist everywhere in nature. Polarity Therapy asserts that the flow
and balance of energy in the human body is the foundation of good health.

In the Polarity model, health is experienced when:

  1.  Energy systems function in their natural state, and
  2.  Energy flows smoothly without significant blockage or fixation.

                                  When energy is unbalanced, blocked or fixed due to stress or other
                                  factors, pain and disease arise.

                                        Blockages generally manifest in sequence from the subtle to the dense
                                             levels of the field. Polarity Therapy seeks to find the blockages
                                              and release  energy to normal flow patterns, and to maintain the
                                               Energy Field in an open, flexible condition.

                                                   A blend of modern science and complementary medicine,
                                                   Polarity Therapy is a comprehensive  health system involving
                                                    energy-based body work, diet, exercise and self-awareness.
                                                       Scientifically, it    works with the Human Energy Field,
                                                        electromagnetic patterns expressed in mental, emotional and
                                                        physical experience. In Polarity Therapy, health is viewed as
                                                          a reflection of the condition of the energy field, and
                                                           therapeutic methods are designed to balance the field for
            health benefit. There are 3 types of energy fields in the human body:   Long line
            currents that run north to south on the body; Transverse currents that run east-west
            in the body; and spiral currents that start at the navel and expand outward.
In the healing arts, Polarity Therapy is special in its comprehensive exploration
of the different dimensions of the human condition (physical, mental and
emotional).  Polarity Therapy seeks to bridge the full spectrum of body, mind
and spirit: the body is designed by nature to heal itself.  Polarity Therapy assists
in this natural occurrence).  Applying the Polarity Therapy system can take
diverse forms, always based on the underlying intention to support the client's
inherent self-healing intelligence as expressed in its energetic patterns.
As a result, Polarity supports strong connections to many other    
healing and holistic health systems.   For example, basic  
characteristics of the Human Energy Field are described in many
sources, both ancient and modern. From the Ayurvedic tradition,
integrates the "Three Principles and Five Chakras" and has been
called the modern manifestation of ancient Hermetic philosophy.
Polarity is experienced as the universal pulsation of expansion
/contraction or repulsion/attraction known as Yang and Yin in
Oriental therapies.  Energy moves out from a central source which is
repulsion, then back to the source – which is attraction.  Polarity
practitioners use this natural phenomenon as a way of tracking
energy flow.
             Polarity Therapy was developed by Dr. Randolph
            Stone,  DO, DC, ND (1890-1981), who conducted a
             thorough    investigation of energy in the healing
             arts over the   course of his 60-year medical career.
             Drawing on  information from a wide range of
             sources, he found   that the Human Energy Field is
             affected by touch,  diet,  movement, sound,
             attitudes, relationships, life  experience, trauma
and  environ-mental factors.  Since Polarity Therapy lends
an energy-based  perspective to all these subjects, the scope
of  Polarity practice is often very broad, with implications for
health professionals in many therapeutic disciplines.
