Polarity Therapy
Polarity therapy is a holistic system
of healing developed by Dr. Randolph Stone
over a fifty year period.
It was Dr. Stone's belief that the
free flow of energy within the body is
responsible for the overall health and
happiness of the individual.
The therapy is based on Ayurvedic
principles, and operates on the concept that
energy enters the body and forms a double
helix. Each point at which the helix crosses
is called a Chakra (a spinning centre of
energy), and carries with it a different
elemental quality:
Ether; throat to mid-cervical
spine
Air; mid-thoracic spine
Fire; mid-lumbar spine, just
below solar plexus
Water; lumbrosacral junction,
small of the back
Earth; near the end of the
tailbone, just behind the rectum
The four facets of Polarity Therapy
are therapeutic bodywork using three levels of
touch, health building and/or cleansing diets,
awareness, as well as gentle polarity
stretching exercises.
