 Polarity Energy Balancing is a gentle way to internal Well Being..
Just as energy circulates in a room, it also circulates within you! Dr. Stone, developer of Polarity Therapy, described energy as having 5 different natures. ETHER is the prime element latent in all things, providing space and balance for all elements to unfold. Ether is essential to our sense of connectedness with spirit and wellbeing. In the body, ether is space, particularly in the chest and joints. AIR is lightness and movement. On a still day we feel listless and heavy, while on a windy day we feel refreshed and enlivened. Air is associated with the east, a new day, and new beginnings. Air signs include: Gemini (shoulders and arms, lungs and respiration); Libra (kidneys); Aquarius (legs) FIRE is light and heat. Fire is transformative and is associated with willpower and creative force. Fire is connected with the south, the summer, and purification. Fire signs include: Aries (head); Leo (solar plexus); Sagittarius (thighs). WATER, the source of all life, formless and flowing. Water is associated with the west, the fall, the time to go deep and let our emotions flow. Water signs include: Cancer (breasts); Scorpio (genitals), and Pisces (feet). EARTH is dense, passive, the great provider. It has permanency and stability. Earth is associated with the north, winter, and material affairs. Earth signs include: Taurus (neck); Virgo (bowels); and Capricorn (knees)
Energy Precedes Form. All dis-ease is a byproduct of an imbalanced energy system. Our energy becomes disorganized when we experience mental, emotional, or physical strain or trauma. Energy can easily be realigned. Once the blocks are removed, we can connect fully with the eternal Source of Energy, Balance and Health. TO BALANCE YOUR INTERNAL ENERGY USE: NUTRITION: Food increases the flow and potency of elements. Air foods grow high above the ground, including fruits and nuts. Seeds and grains growing above the ground (sesame and sunflower seed, corn, wheat, rice, beans) increase the Fire of digestion. Water foods growing nearest to the ground (green vegetables and melons) balance a fiery system adding a sense of flow to the body. Comfort foods of Earth grow under the ground (potatoes, carrots, onions, beets) and provide a sense of grounding and stability. VISUALIZATIONS: To increase the flow of an element, simply visualize its properties. Imagine feeling the wind moving to increase Air. Watch a blazing campfire to increase Fire. To cool fire, imagine floating on the ocean. When feeling "spacey", pretend you are moving down into a cave in the earth. Or actually do them! Stand outside in the wind. Take your shoes off and walk on the earth. Walk in a cool mountain stream. The body responds quickly to real or imagined changes of scenery. YOUR HANDS. Your right hand is your positive or giving hand. Your left hand is your negative or receiving hand. By placing your hands on your body opposite each other (front to back, side to side, or top to bottom) you automatically establish an energy flow between the positive and negative poles. Draw out inflammation by placing your left hand over the area and your right hand opposite it. Relax tight areas by placing your right hand over them to add healing life.
