Polarity Therapy

Polarity Therapy

#

Polarity is an energy style that seeks to remove blockages within the human energy fields. The therapist focuses on the energetic blockages within the body that maybe contributing to areas within the tissues that are not releasing through other methods.

Life energy flows in definite patterns; the planets poles, the Chinese meridians and Eastern Indian Chakras are examples of known energy patterns. In Polarity therapy the chakra system is at the center of how the energies flow within our system and our bodies magnetic fields. The spin of the chakras create the direction of the flow in our bodies. The right side moving from the head down to the feet and out the hands and the left side from the feet and in the hands out the head.

Energy blockages are experienced as an area where the magnetic field has slowed down and is often felt as a build up of pressure (stagnation). Many trigger points or muscle knots may be caused by this, conversely they can cause energetic blockages.
The therapist conducts the process of polarity technique through physical touch using both hands as a positive and negative pole to encourage the flow of energy. This is accomplished by either holding the body at distant points to the blockage, a specific pattern or through the body at the location of the blockage. This often is experienced as a feeling of relaxation, heat, tingling, pulsing or lightness.
