Polarity 

Polarity Therapy addresses the body as an energy field. Instead of just noticing the tight muscles in your leg, I would address this by looking at how the energy is flowing through the leg. It is a different paradigm of treatment. It allows the body to be seen as a whole as opposed to individual parts. The flow of energy can be addressed in many different ways. A session may involve holding the body, placing my hands on the client in different places so the energy will shift. I may rock the body, trying to match the frequency and movement of the energies of the body. This allows the body to notice and perhaps change how its energy is flowing.

Polarity Therapy is the work of Randolph Stone, a German man living in the US in the early 1920’s and 30’s. His travels to India greatly influenced his work. Polarity Therapy has aspects of Ayerveda, and also Energy Theory and Quantum physics. Polarity has been practiced in a myriad of ways and has become an umbrella for many different types of energy work. There are practitioners that apply these theories to music, sound, dance, movement, percussion, money, business, shamanism… The list is long. Each practitioner will have their own version of treatment.
