Why do you do what you do?
I love working one on one with people who are seeking greater health, wholeness and self-expression. Originally, I was exploring mind-body approaches to wellness for my family and myself. I received a polarity session and I felt a tremendous sense of peace and well-being. I felt my heart open and my body awareness expand. I left the session with a tangible sense of greater possibility for my health and all aspects of my life. I knew immediately I would want to share this profound healing art with others as a practitioner.
What exactly is Polarity Therapy?
The philosophy of Polarity Therapy is simple: We are made up of energy. Science now tells us that we are more energy than matter! The ancient health system of India refers to this energy as prana. When the energy within us is flowing freely and in balance we experience a wonderful sense of well-being which includes greater physical health. So, Polarity Therapy is a beautiful hands-on healing art of strengthening and balancing human energy flow for a healthy, vibrant, body, mind and spirit.
What happens then, when it is not flowing well?
Did you ever have a day when you hit all the red lights? Ever been stuck in traffic? This is what it feels like in your body. There is a sense of stuckness, nothing is working smoothly on the inside or the outside. You feel tired, frustrated, irritable, low energy. If your energy pathways remain stuck consistently over time you can imagine how your relationships and work begin to feel. And when your energy pathways are blocked, physical symptoms and pain are more likely to develop.
Can you see the energy blocks?
I am trained to see, feel, and sense where energy flows and where it blocks. More often, I help my clients sense energy flow within their bodies. I show them how to nurture and enhance their energy system for a healthier body and spirit. This is a tool they can use for life.
What do you mean by nurture the energy system?
I introduce practical tools and exercises to tune into your energy system; to let go of stress, negativity and stagnation; to unplug thoughts, people, and experiences that drain your energy; and to restore and enhance vitality.
So, Polarity Therapy helps with stress?
Yes, Polarity addresses the energy behind the stress and helps you let go of the root cause of the stress. This could be a stressful issue in a relationship expressing itself in tight shoulders and indigestion. The main stress could be an unsatisfying job. This could manifest as irritability, headaches, and depression. In both cases, there is a corresponding block or stagnation in the person’s energy system influencing their physical body and their life experience.
How can we be sure there really is an energy system?
You could ask your self:
Did I have enough energy when I awoke this morning? Where did it come from? Where did it go? Are there times when you have too much energy? Feeling wired or wound up from a stressful interaction? What is keeping my blood circulating throughout my body? What keeps my heart beating? In our homes we don’t see the invisible electricity behind our walls fueling a reading lamp. Yet, we do notice the practical result of the energy flow to our lamp—light!
What happens In a Polarity session?
We sit down together and talk about the intention of the session. It may be to free up energy that is causing an uncomfortable physical symptom or to help you connect with your sense of clarity and purpose for an aspect of your life. Then, you rest comfortably on the treatment table or at home during a telehealth session. From here the nurturing, body centered healing work begins. Space opens up to feel and listen to the sensations of the body guiding you to relax and to connect with a core place of clarity, strength and wisdom within you. It is from that place that we collaborate to create mind, body health and well-being for you.
There is energy all around us creating weather and wind and autumn leaves on the trees. Autumn is a wonderful time to watch the earth’s energy in action! Body and spirit flourish when your energies are flowing.
Thank you!
