Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Polarity Therapy from The American Polarity Therapy Association Energy Polarity Therapy is a natural health care system. It asserts that energy fields and currents exist everywhere in nature, and that the flow and balance of this energy in the human body is the underlying foundation of health. Energy balancing is a central concept in many ancient and traditional health care systems, such as oriental medicine and Ayurveda from India. Modern scientific research has provided new understanding of the evidence for the powerful effects and health benefits made possible by Polarity. Polarity Therapy has a remarkable simplicity, yet its philosophical and practical implications go as deep as the human experience itself, and its techniques touch all aspects of life. History Polarity Therapy was developed by Randolph Stone, D.C., D.O., N.D. (1890-1982). For over 60 years, he studied, tested and synthesized health ideas from around the world. Dr. Stone chose the term `Polarity' to describe energy's qualities of attraction and repulsion, fundamental characteristics of all energy movement. Dr. Stone taught that body, emotions, mind and spirit are interdependent, that each person shares in the responsibility for her or his own health, and that simple steps can be taken to improve wellness. Today, Polarity Therapy is rapidly growing in public awareness, availability and acceptance. Polarity gives a fresh perspective on health conditions, and a personal experience of renewed energy and vitality. Experiencing a Polarity Session In a typical Polarity session, the practitioner and client work together in a healing relationship to address physical, mental and emotional energy blockages. The practitioner may use bodywork and guidance in diet, exercise, attitude and lifestyle to support the client's healing process. In Polarity bodywork a variety of contacts and manipulations are used to stimulate and balance the body's electromagnetic fields. The practitioner may help to process feelings and develop strategies for resolving issues causing tension. The result is a safe and supportive experience encouraging understanding and respect for the client's healing process. Polarity Techniques Polarity Therapy offers the seeker of health a natural, effective way to uplift body, mind and soul. Polarity has four inter-related therapeutic methods: *Bodywork: The practitioner's hands assist the flow of healing energy in the client's body. *Diet: Polarity promotes the use of specific dietary principles for internal cleansing and long term maintenance that lead to optimum well-being. *Exercise: Polarity Yoga is a series of simple self-help energy techniques that create relaxation and balance. *Self-Awareness: Learn to understand the sources of your tension and discover ways to sustain your health. These techniques combine to provide a simple, comprehensive method for health maintenance. Polarity is unique in its combining of natural, self-guided techniques for dynamic results. ``Energy is the real substance behind the appearance of matter and forms''-Dr. Randolph Stone About APTA The American Polarity Therapy Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of Polarity Therapy.
