A professional practice in Polarity Therapy requires skill in five interdependent areas: Randolph Stone, D.O., D.C., N.D. (1890-1981) Founder of Polarity Therapy  Bodywork: Polarity is a unique touch system which encompasses the whole being, tracking energy from subtle patterns of consciousness to its manifestation as a physical body. Conscious touch facilitates the release of energy blockages. The practitioner uses deep listening and subtle guidance to facilitate increased awareness and relaxation. Clients are guided and empowered to discover a more full expression of their innate life force, on all levels of their being. Diet: Polarity's approach to nutrition focuses on the energetic qualities of food and utilizes diets for purification as part of the overall healing strategy. Exercise: Dr. Stone's "Polarity Yoga" opens energy pathways and gives a profoundly effective system for self-help energy balancing. Polarity postures emphasize presence and intention within movement. Self-Awareness: Polarity emphasizes the unified interdependence of mind, emotions and body. Therapeutic focus on all three levels is integrated into a comprehensive, gentle path to self-improvement. Love: Dr. Stone wrote, "Life is the expression of love in sound waves and energy currents." Inherent in Polarity is a spiritual perspective in which Love is the cornerstone of true health and wisdom.
