Energy is the foundation of all life

Modern scientific research is just beginning to document this simple truth which has been the basis of Eastern medical traditions for thousands of years, and it is revolutionizing how we think about our health. Polarity Therapy is on the cutting edge of this revolution - bringing the study of energy out of the esoteric realm of quantum physics and nuclear particle accelerators into, quite literally, the palms of our hands.

Just as there are subtle electromagnetic forces which bind the parts of an atom together, there are subtle patterns of energy which create and sustain all living things. This "life energy" expresses itself not only through our physical bodies but also through our thoughts, feelings, personal relationships, and everyday experiences.

Polarity works with life energy in all of its forms, using a comprehensive system of bodywork, exercise, nutritional guidance, and verbal counseling to bring body, mind, emotions, and spirit into a state of balance, harmony and vibrant health.



Polarity Therapy
Therapies
Polarity Therapy was developed by Dr. Randolph Stone (1890-1981), an osteopath, chiropractor, and naturopath who sought to integrate Eastern and Western approaches to healing modalities such as reflexology, acupressure, craniosacral balancing, yoga, and Ayurveda. But Polarity is more than just a collection of techniques - at its heart is a set of principles about the balance and flow of life energy which Dr. Stone believed to be the underlying essence of all healing arts. This is attested to by the growing number of health care professionals, such as nurses, chiropractors, physical therapists, creative arts therapists, and massage practitioners, who are successfully incorporating Polarity Therapy into their work.

When we are truly well, our bodies vibrate vitality and our thoughts and emotions are in alignment with our soul’s truth. The polarity model sees the body’s imbalances as the final “printout” of information entered long ago. Polarity serves as the key to unlock the door to the source, thereby allowing for genuinely new choices. Utilizing hands-on contacts, toning, breathing and gentle counseling techniques, this work embodies a full holistic health care system, and can be used to empower other modalities as well.

Cranial Sacral Unwinding
Therapies

CranioSacral Unwinding is a therapeutic modality that offers a specialty training for the body worker, massage therapies, chiropractor, physical therapist, anyone working in the healing arts with the body. It teaches the practitioner how to use their palpation skills (to become present in their hands) to get into harmony, resonance and rapport with the fluidic nature of the body. It also teaches a thorough treatment of the connective tissue system throughout the body, from the tip of the toes to the top of the head. Students learn how to approach the client with health boundaries, honor the person and their innate healing process, and create a relationship that is noninvasive and client centered. Upon completion of this program students receive a certificate that acknowledges that they have met a basic competency in classical, contemporary and esoteric craniosacral techniques.
Craniosacral therapy is process work which speaks the language of cellular reality. The focus of this system is on garnering the healing energy within the body, which jump starts the person's own healing ability and process.

The craniosacral rhythms are at the core of the body's pulse; learning to palpate and balance them is like discovering the ebb and flow of the ocean. The student learns to contact the tissue, the rhythm within the tissue, and move with the tissue in a way that honors the way the cells move - getting in touch with the cellular memory - which leads into the places that have become devitalized or overcharged.
The practitioner talks to the tissue, reflects what is in the body and allows the client to interact with the movement of the tissue which gives them a reflection of who they are through the tissue.

Through presence and awareness these places become connected back to the primary healing core energy of the body, which is pulsating with the craniosacral (Primary Respiratory Rhythm) rhythm.

A relationship is established between the tissue (which holds much of the unconscious memory) and the core energy in the body. It is through these rhythmic pulsatory craniosacral pathways that subtle energy steps down into the physical tissues of the body nurturing them, bringing healing resonance and enabling them to perform all of the vital biological function in a healthy way. The client thus becomes connected to the primary core of energy (PRR) which enables them to: relax tension, release energy blocks and open the energy pathways in the body, restore balance, and promote revitalization.

Craniosacral work is complimentary adjunctive therapy to any other modality, on the tissue or energetic level., and makes a significant contribution. As the person's core energy becomes related to the work you have done, the tissue and the consciousness reorganize around the highest intelligence in the body and the work goes out very far into their lives.

"Craniosacral work is the Rolls Royce of bodywork." - John Beaulieu, ND, Ph.D.
 
Somatic Trauma Resolution
Therapies

What is Somatic Trauma Resolution (STR)?

STR is based on Somatic Experiencing, Peter Levine's groundbreaking work with how to re-regulate our physiology and nervous system when it has been traumatized. You will learn principles of the link between sensations and discharge, the importance of carefully controlling the level of activation, and how this system is so precise and reliably effective in building resiliency for future events as well as healing the effects of overwhelm from the past.

 

 
Essential Oil Therapy
Therapies

Aroma therapy is the art and science of using essential oils, the aromatic extracts of plants and flowers, for health and well being.

Pure essential oils actually detoxify and help restore cellular balance in our bodies.

Clinical research has shown that essential oils can create an environment in which disease, bacteria, virus, fungus and other microbes cannot live. Therefore many use essential oils to clean, cook, and additionally, have been added to personal care products and nutritional supplements as well.

We offer protocols for administering Essential Oils as a healing modality and strong form of energy medicine using Theraputic Grade Young Living Essential Oils.
