WHAT IS POLARITY THERAPY ?
Polarity Therapy is a powerful holistic approach to health and well-being. The Polarity Principle works on the
assumption that there is such a thing as life energy and that disease results when our life energy is blocked or
is out of balance. The free flow of life energy is necessary for health. The aim of Polarity Therapy is to correct imbalances in the energy flow and enable the body's self-healing systems to operate effectively.
A Polarity Therapist works to release and balance the life energy in the body through the use of specialized bodywork which can release tension and holding patterns in the physical body and the psyche, enlivening the life force that exists within us all, thus enabling you to reconnect with the deep core of your being. This ensures the continuation of the expression of your essential self and aids the return to wholeness and wellbeing.
It is a gentle, holistic method of drugless healing. It is a complementary therapy in the sense that it can happily co-exist with other forms of orthodox treatment. The practitioner evaluates patterns, unblocks and re-balances them using a variety of gentle techniques helping to restore health and well-being.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A POLARITY THERAPY TREATMENT?
Dr. Stone developed many specific techniques for unblocking and balancing energy flow dependent on the nature and location of the problems. Polarity Therapy uses four different approaches to balancing life energy.
Bodywork, Diet and Nutrition, Exercise, Communication Facilitation
A typical session would consist of a bodywork treatment combined with one or more of the other three approaches where applicable.
BODYWORK Polarity Bodywork consists of gentle, hands-on contact often with rocking movements of the body. The whole body approach may involve many parts of the body or may concentrate on only a few. Most of the work can be done while fully clothed but it is useful to wear loose, light clothing preferably made from natural fibers. The experience of a bodywork treatment can be deeply relaxing and therapeutic leading to emotional releases and the alleviation of tension and pain and an increased sense of well-being.
DIET AND NUTRITION Polarity Therapists recommend dietary changes where necessary to help balance the Five Elements. Our bodies accumulate a level of toxicity through over indulgence in particular foods affecting our minds and emotions as well as our physical body. Health building diets help each person find the way of eating appropriately.
POLARITY EXERCISES sometimes called Polarity Yoga/stretches may be recommended for practice between treatment sessions. These involve powerful but gentle stretching and rocking movements and are designed to release the tension in the body to facilitate the free flow of energy. They can support the bodywork part of the treatment.
COMMUNICATION FACILITATION Good health encompasses positive thoughts and feelings about ourselves 'as we think, so we are'. Polarity Therapy not only seeks to heal the physical body but in its highest aspirations aims to unify and balance the whole person via increased self awareness. It can form an important ally in the journey towards self knowledge and growth.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? A treatment session lasts for one hour. It is usual for clients to have a minimum of three sessions, but the number will depend upon individual circumstances.
WHEN SHOULD POLARITY THERAPY BE USED? There are times in our lives when we do not feel well or seem frazzled. Our bodies seem taxed and become ill and stressed, or our minds are strained and our emotions confused. When life becomes difficult and you don’t feel your best, it is sensible to look for help.
