What is Polarity Therapy?
Reprinted from the American Polarity Therapy Association
e are energy and everything has a vibration. Energy fields and currents are around us and are found everywhere in nature. Polarity Therapy asserts that the flow and balance of energy in the human body is the foundation of good health.
Polarity therapy is a synthesis of ancient Eastern and alternative medicine health care ideas, centered on the concept of a human energy field. Polarity Practitioners use several types of touch, intuitive counseling, exercise, and nutritional methods that will help clients continue to live a vibrant life. The practitioners of polarity therapy seek to balance and restore the natural flow of energy within the bodies many pathways. The aim is to re-establish “balance” and harmony so the client can manifest and live a life full of joy, peace and harmony. In addition to polarity bodywork, specific polarity yoga exercises, counseling/positive thinking,
In the Polarity model, health is experienced in it's full state when:
1. Energy systems function in their natural state.
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.
lockages 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.
By becoming aware of different characteristics of energy pulses and energy patterns in the body we could map the way diseases alter these patterns and discover the problems on an energetic level before it manifests on a physical level. What an insight to disease control! Energy Medicine Practitioners can help the client sense distorted energy fields and locate the origin and reason for the pain.
A blend of modern science and complementary medicine, Polarity Therapy is a comprehensive health system involving energy-based bodywork, 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. |
