Polarity Therapy is energy-based bodywork. It was developed by Randolph Stone, a 20th-century osteopath, naturopath and chiropractor. Over the course of many years of practice and study, Dr. Stone drew up a detailed series of energetic maps. Identifying positive, negative and neutral charges that drive the flow and pulsation of energy throughout our bodies, Dr. Stone named his method Polarity Therapy.
Many of the principle concepts of Polarity Therapy are rooted in Ayurveda, ancient India’s system of holistic health. One such concept is the idea of chakras and the interplay of their respective elemental energies. Reflexology is also a part of Polarity Therapy, whereby various reflexes on the feet are pressed upon to break up stagnant energy throughout the body.
WHAT CAN POLARITY THERAPY DO FOR YOU?
Emotional and physical distress often disturb energetic currents and fields throughout our bodies. In response, the energy can be energetically sluggish, weak, inert, or hyperactive. Though you may not feel these nuances in your daily life, surely there are have been days when you have felt sapped of energy or overridden with stress!
Sensing these disturbances, I use contacts that vary in pressure from extremely light to quite firm. I work with the various energies and tissues of the body to bring them into a greater holistic balance. While following my sensitivity and intuition, I also draw upon my knowledge as a movement teacher, taking into account the body’s fascial, muscular and skeletal systems. When deemed appropriate, I also incorporate sound, breath, imagery and dialogue.
I respectfully work with the body, rather than forcing change, so that a more healthful and harmonious state can be organically achieved.
