Polarity Therapy Explained
Courses & Qualifications.
Standards
Taught by Dr Ranna-Lesley Lachlan (PhD,
BCPP, RPP, RPE), an Australian-American who is a USA Board Certified
Polarity Practitioner and Registered Polarity Therapy Educator.
"The
object of Polarity Therapy is the removal of energy blocks which
are the cause of real pain
in the overall sweep of wireless currents in the vital energy
fields of the body." Dr Randolph Stone D.O., D.C.,
N.D. - developer of Polarity Therapy.

POLARITY THERAPY EXPLAINED
Is it Massage?
No. Is it Reiki or Reflexology? No. Is it Shiatsu
or Jin Shin Jyutsu? No.
Acupuncture or TCM? No. Homeopathy? No.
Chiropractic or Osteopathy? No. Though
you will see some useful strands of most of these woven through Polarity
Therapy, it is different from any one of these modalities. Is
it Morris Bradley's Polarization work? Again, no. Is it psychic
healing or faith healing? No. Definitely not. Is it a spiritual
path? Again, no, definitely not.
Polarity
Therapy IS an extensive system of integrative, non-invasive "energy
medicine" that was developed by Dr Randolph Stone during more
than 60 years of clinical practice. It aims to restore healthy energy
flow in both the human energy field and the energy currents of the
body, thereby bringing the body's systems into balance and towards
health.
Polarity
Practitioners approach their work with a thorough grasp
of the mind-body connection, using specific techniques to
assist their client's own energy and resources to mobilize towards
health. The
Polarity Therapist's work involves (i) two handed contacts on the
body to connect with or restore their client's energy flows, (ii)
client self awareness, (iii) therapeutic movement, and (iv) energy
based dietary considerations, in varying ratios depending on the nature
of a client's ailment. Polarity
Therapy has specialized protocols for specific ailments and Polarity
Practitioners use these to help their clients. While many Polarity
Therapists have, or develop, keen intuitive skills, they don't use
their own energy, psychism, channeling or entities to "heal"
their clients. It isn't necessary: they use their training, knowledge,
insight, and the extensive repertoire of Polarity protocols to assist
their clients to wellness, empowering each client in his or her own
process.
To achieve
this, Polarity Therapy integrates Western knowledge of human anatomy
and the human nervous system with several branches of Asian traditional
medicine. With strong underpinnings from Ayurvedic medicine from India,
Polarity Therapy also encompasses knowledge from Dr Stone's clinical
experience as a Chiropractor, Osteopath and Naturopath, and it incorporates
influences from Chinese medicine, to name a few. The Polarity Therapy
method is a comprehensive and sophisticated hybrid, yet it is also
an inspired, light and subtle therapeutic method that is remarkably
effective. With a track record of almost 80 years in assisting people
with many dis-ease conditions, it is both the "oldest" contemporary
energy wellness method and perhaps the most complete.
In the
USA, Polarity Therapy is moving steadily towards formal recognition
as an identifiable therapeutic profession in its own right.
In Australia,
Polarity Therapy has had a more sporadic development, but that is
changing. Read more: The
Development of Polarity Therapy in Australia.
