For thousands of years people have sought holistic approaches to taking care of their mental, physical, and emotional wellness. Alternative medicine has been around for thousands of years, used among ancient civilizations who did not have modern medicine.
One approach centers around the premise that changes in the human energy field have a direct correlation with our ability to overcome disease, heal the body, and recover a healthy life balance. A practice rooted in this approach is Polarity Therapy.
What is Polarity Therapy?
Polarity Therapy is a comprehensive approach to wellness founded by Dr. Randolph Stone. It is a form touch therapy centered on the idea that the movement of energy within the body is the foundation of life.
With this therapy you restore the balance of your body’s energy through the combined use of exercise, touch, nutrition, spiritual counseling, and self-awareness.
The premise of Polarity Therapy is that the energy within your body originates from an electromagnetic force and that disease occurs as the result of improper, or immoral energy.
Polarity Therapy combines Ayurvedic medicine, Chinese medicine, and other ancient medical treatments. A practitioner of Polarity Therapy serves as your guide, leading you towards achieving a precise balance in self-healing and energy flow.
What are the Energy Sources within the Human Body?
For Polarity theorists, energy refers to five vital elements: air, earth, water, fire, and ether. These elements have both mental and spiritual components. The aim of the practice is to attain balance, which they see as being the body’s capacity to successfully manage a subtle flow of positive and negative attractions.
Benefits of Polarity: How is It Used?
People use Polarity Therapy to help rid the body of unbalanced energy, thereby eliminating a disease. The practice removes any existing obstacles or opposing forces that affect the flow of life energy.
Polarity Therapy offers a variety of benefits to the body, including but not limited to the following:
