POLARITY THERAPY
Written by Heather for All Natural Feb. 2018
Polarity Therapy is a system of energy balancing involving body/energy work, including the concept of CranioSacral work, counseling, movement and nutrition, all based on the Five Elements of Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. The science of Astrology is considered and used in relation to these Elements and the Chakra system.
It is based on the work of Dr. Randolph Stone. He was born in Austria on Feb 26th 1890, and practiced in Chicago IL most of his life. He integrated his work as a Chiropractor, Osteopath, Naturopath and Naprapath with the Eastern concepts of energy flow in the Ayurvedic system of India, the Yogic Path, as well as the Chinese and Egyptian systems of health. He was an avid spiritual seeker, growing up Catholic, becoming a Lutheran Minister and later, after discovering Eastern Mysticism, was initiated by his Guru in 1947 into Shabad Yoga, the Yoga of Sound. Consequently, Sacred Sound can also be a part of experiencing Polarity Therapy.
Wireless Anatomy is the name Dr. Stone gave to his body of work describing the science of the flow of energy in the body. He wrote five books to share his discoveries, which have since been simplified by some of his students, all available on Amazon.com
He practiced for 60 years in Chicago before moving to California to teach, spending most of the year in India working on those who had given up hope. He lived his last 10 years in India at his Ashram and died there peacefully in 1981.
The key to any Polarity session is tuning into the energy flow of the individual and discovering where the energy is blocked, and using knowledge, intuition and guidance to create more movement and balance. Sometimes this is a peaceful process and sometimes it elicits hidden memories in the subconscious, while other times it creates movement in order to free something. The practitioner leaves room for the mystery to unfold in any given moment, on any level.
Deep relaxation usually happens very quickly at the beginning of the table session, allowing for a release of tension and chronic pain, and often providing an opportunity for awareness about changes and attitude needed for a happier and more fulfilling life. Many corrections to the Sacred Geometry of the energy system can happen effortlessly, bringing more alignment with the blueprint of the Soul, thus making one’s life purpose more apparent. Dr. Stone considered what he called “Right Thinking” to be of paramount importance.
Individual sessions generally last up to 90 minutes. The client is clothed and no oil is used, except when combined with Massage Therapy. Three types of touch may be used – Sattvic (light touch or off the body), Rajasic ( more active with movement such as rocking or jiggling) and Tamasic ( deep contact with a cleansing effect). These three are also reflected on the outside in our lives. The goal is always balance at the pace of the client – or more truthfully, the client’s Higher Self.
Practitioners are trained in various communication skills, Polarity Yoga and nutritional values. They are also trained to keep a high level of integrity and confidentiality. Sometimes referrals are made to other practitioners such as Psychotherapists, Medical Doctors, Chiropractors, Naturopaths and Nutritionists.
Polarity Therapy can be integrated very effectively into other forms of body/energy work including Massage, Shiatsu and Reiki. Many practitioners have reported that Polarity Therapy has provided the “missing link” and enabled them to integrate the many aspects of the healing arts.
