Polarity Therapy
The Polarity Therapy health balancing system is a synthesis of eastern and western techniques blended with an understanding of the connection of body, mind and spirit. Created by Or. Randolph Stone, it represents the fruition of a life long study of Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Naturopathy, Biological Sciences and the ancient wisdom of east and west. Polarity Therapy is based on an understanding of the atomic structure of the body and the resonance of these fundamental patterns of energy in creating and sustaining the structure and functions of anatomy and physiology. It is a broad synthesis which includes a unique program of exercise, nutritional regimes, an understanding of the relationship between spirit, mind and body and a series of simple, easy to learn techniques for re-polarising the body's energy. The body is in every moment sustained by universal patterns of energy. Pain and disease are the product of tension and toxicity inhibiting the harmonious resonance of these universal currents as they seek to create and sustain the structures and functions of the body. The Polarity practitioner uses the resonance of the energy in the hands and the polarity created by the flow of energy through the hands to re-establish harmonious patterns of energy, to release tension and to re-establish a vibratory pattern that is conducive to the self healing ability of the body.
Three patterns of vibration are the core of the work of Polarity Therapy. They are known as Air, Fire and Water or Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic. These three are woven together in every mode of their expression though each one of them predominates and strikes the keynote of expression in every structure and process of the body. Thus, particular structures and processes are said to be characterised by Air, Fire or Water. We can strike the keynote of a particular pattern and stimulate its level of vibration by the way we touch the body and the place where we touch it. The quality of Air predominates in a light touch on the surface of the body. Air rules balance in the body, it governs the senses and the cybernetic feedback mechanisms in the body. A gentle touch, soothing movement and balancing contacts activate this pattern of vibration. The nervous system and the DNA blueprint are ruled by Air. Air can be seen to reflect the intelligence or consciousness of a human being. Fire predominates as the vital active force in the body. Its radiant energy rules the processes of metabolism and the work of the musculature. Any stimulating, tonifying contact activates the Fire principle. Water rules the form of the body. It is characterised by the principle of inertia or crystalization. It takes deep work which almost threatens the integrity of the body to effect this element. It is most easily stimulated at the polar extremes of the toes and the heels, the arch of the foot and the neck. We work with this vibration when we seek to realign body structures.
