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;

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.
