First, let me say that this is an excellent question from the consumer perspective. But in all honesty Polarity Therapy cannot alleviate any disease. The trained Polarity Practitioner is taught not to focus solely on the clients’ “symptoms.” The reason is because structural imbalances, sciatica, headaches, digestive disorders, anxiety, sinus infections, relaxation, conception challenges, prostatitis, emotional and nervous system disorders affecting individual A is not the same as for individuals B, C or D. The conditions mentioned above are some of the reason why clients seek out a Polarity Practitioner. Even though they are successful in helping the client find balance with their situation, no one condition is the same. Each person, and their situation, is unique.
For example, let’s say that several clients come in to see a particular practitioner and they all have structural imbalances, or anxiety. The may have all been diagnosed by modern medicine with the same “dis-ease.” But Polarity Therapy is a holistic system of health and wellness. We are taught to address the total person and not their symptoms. Polarity Therapy looks at the clients "health," not their dis-ease.
Polarity Therapy does not look at the physical manifested challenges of one client as a standard for addressing another clients’ health issues. We strive to help each individual to discover energetic balance not only in their physical bodies, but also in their spiritual, mental, and emotional. We discuss with them their nutrition, relationships, life style, occupations, exercise habits, and their desire to be an active participant in their health and wellness process. The individual becomes empowered, not the practitioner. I tell clients that I am not interested in being their healer. They must want to be their own, and I can teach them how to be.
If the health practitioner is only addressing the “conditions to be alleviated,” then they are merely applying bandages to the physical body. In Polarity, we teach that “ illness is in the energy body, not the physical.” Anyone can address illness and dis-ease, but honing the skill of listening to the client’s health is the real challenge that we try to address as Polarity Therapy Practitioners.
