WHAT IS POLARITY THERAPY?

Polarity Therapy is a profound holistic health care system, which balances life energy in the body. It is based on 5 elements found in Ayurvedic medicine. Polarity is the practical application of understanding that everything is animated by energy. It includes bodywork, cleansing and health building diets, simple exercises and communication skills.

BACKGROUND

Polarity Therapy was developed by Dr. Randolph Stone (1890-1981), a chiropractor, osteopath and naturopath. His genius lay in his ability to see the essential principles unifying diverse approaches to healing. Stone traveled the world to discover different healing modalities. He took the best of Ayurvedic and Chinese traditions and integrated them with quantum physics to develop a cohesive bodywork-based system known as Polarity. He believed that there are five elements in all things.

	ETHER Container of all elements The joints are associated with this element.
	AIR The shoulders, kidneys, and ankles are associated with this element. Relates to speed, movement, and the nervous system.
	FIRE The forehead, eyes, solar plexus, and thighs are associated with this element. Relates to enthusiasm, anger, and shaking movement.
	WATER The breasts, pelvis, and feet are associated with this element. Relates to emotion, connecting, and letting go of things.
	EARTH The neck, colon, and knees are associated with this element. Relates to courage, strength, and fear.

Polarity Therapy itself is comprised of four basic pillars or components. These are:

1. Bodywork - brings about awareness, aligns the body with the spirit, and releases physical tension.
2. Verbal communication - increases awareness of the source of tension and fosters positive mental attitudes.
3. Exercise - Yoga-type movements to continue the work.
4. Nutrition
