The answer to what is Polarity is as elusive as a butterfly. That is because it encompasses so very much. It works with the body, mind, soul and spirit. A session may include bodywork, exercise, nutritional components, communication aspects or looking at thought processes.

The body work can use simple techniques or involved sequences and all are designed to bring the body into a state of relaxation. When the body is in a state of relaxation then its’ innate drive for health will use that period of relaxation to reconnect, reunite and re-establish it’s natural rhythms and energy flow. So, it is from within the client that the true movement to health is rekindled. The body has its’ own innate intelligence and desire for Health inherent within it’s’ system. It is the understanding of the energetics that allows a practitioner to be able assess where a client is energetically and what type of energy session is going to be the greatest support in their process at the present time. There are protocols for relaxation, for all systems of the body including the nervous system, for structure, for tension release and more.

Each exercise enhances different qualities of energy. The understanding of which will allow a practitioner to suggest the exercises that will best support the client at the current moment relative to their energy state at the time, relative to the energy of where their body is at when they come for a session an based on where they decide they want to move to in Health Building process.

It is the same for nutrition. Every food has specific qualities of energy within it’s’ makeup. Knowing about the energetics of food the practitioner can share such knowledge with the client so that they can then chose to enhance their Health Building process.

There is also an energy component involved with communication and thought processes. This is relative to those between client and practitioner, client and themselves, and client with others in their relationships. Repeating a negative thought over and over is like building a groove in one’s mind. Since most of our thinking and automatic responses come from the subconscious such grooves end up directing how we interact with our world. Energy follows thought and precedes a change in structure and form. To create change one must first change their thinking.

All aspects of Polarity involve the understanding and use of the energy theory. Energy and how it flows or doesn’t is the key to health. Everything in the universe is here because of energy in some form. Knowing how the energy is meant to flow in the body allows a practitioner to use that understanding to assist the client in moving to a higher state of balance in their body and their life.

Dr. Randolph Stone DO, ND, DC founded Polarity. He had circled the globe many times in search of the secrets to health. He had the ability to distil everything he looked at down to it’s essence. The bottom line for what rebuilds health is energy. Dr. Stone took his vast amounts of knowledge he had acquired from around the globe and drawing heavily on Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine principles he combined it all with his understanding of western medicine and created Polarity Therapy.

The energy of the body is electromagnetic. Dr. Stone in his book called “Health Building” refers to the secret of the electromagnetic energy as being it’s connection with the chemistry of the body. Thus Polarity Therapy is both an art and a science. The physiology of the body follows the cerebrospinal fluid radiations in their functions as electromagnetic waves, and can be applied in practice with the hands as polarity of positive and negative poles. The science of Polarity Therapy can be proved by applications of electromagnetic energy waves through the right and left hands to opposite parts of any area in its three dimensions of space.

This then is a simplistic overview of the art and Science of Polarity Therapy. Each person will have their own personal experience with the work. It is therefore best to be able to understand Polarity Therapy more fully to have a personal session or to experience the work through the taking of a course. Polarity Therapy becomes a way of life and a fascinating never ending journey into the world of energy and Health Building.
