What is Polarity and how it can help?
Polarity is a holistic healing system. It works the 4 levels of being. Body, mind, emotions and spirit, having its roots in Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, and Hermetic Science.
Polarity was developed by Doctor Randolph Stone, DC, DO. Bodywork is one aspect of Stone’s holistic system and encompasses caring intention and three levels of touch, the primary principles of motion are Satva, Rajas and Tamas.
- [ Satva ] : soft, gentle, still, balancing, nonreactive, relaxing.
- [ Rajas ] : rocking, directive, stimulating.
- [ Tamas ] : dispersing, heavier and more strongly reactive.
Humans are seen as fields of pulsating life energy, and polarity enables practitioners to balance the elemental frequencies, including ether, air, fire, water and earth. Pathologies are seen as the manifestation of restricted or blocked energy.
Polarity is used to start or enhance the healing process using protocols, nutrition, holonomic reflexology and energy yoga that works on the 5 elements, on energy distribution and as a model to better understand, influence and appreciate emotional states. It is a complete and self-contained approach, though it can also be incorporated with other forms of massage therapy.
