“The medicine of the future will be energy medicine, and chemical medicine will be a subset of medicine as a whole. Probably 80 percent of medicine will be energy medicine, and 20 percent chemical medicine.”  –  Robert Jacobs, N.M.D. D.Hom. (Med), London England 

Who Is Polarity Therapy For?

Who Is Polarity Therapy For?

Polarity Therapy is a path for people who are committed to working with advanced, integrative healing techniques that are based on harmony with the body, mind, and spirit. Polarity therapy is particularly powerful for people who meditate or are committed to their spiritual path. It is impossible to work with high energy without being transformed into new levels of understanding and awareness.

Whether you are already an energy worker who is looking for a more clearly defined model, a massage therapist who keeps sensing that there is more going on than the rubbing of muscles, or you are intuitive, sensitive to energy and tuned in to vibrational healing, Polarity Therapy offers a path of knowledge that strengthens you as you learn and do the work.

What is the Science of Polarity Therapy?

Polarity Therapy is a broad term that defines a primary construct of a physical body, the human energy field. Every day there are new studies that validate what the holistic and energetic healing community has known for centuries: The body has an energy field that affects our physical body. The fields of chiropractic, osteopathy, acupuncture, holistic health, homeopathy, yoga, tai chi, meditation, and many other fields have described it in different ways. Polarity Therapy combines many of these concepts to create an integrated description that covers the phenomenon of the human body.

Of course, the scientific method (what can be measured and recorded) is unable to address the field of human energy due to limitations in the ability to measure it with the current technology. Remember that DNA, mitochondria and the microbiome are all relatively new fields of study and that science is working to get closer to understanding what’s happening with human energy systems. As science becomes increasingly refined, it is getting closer to “discovering” the energy system. But it’s still in the future. This is similar to gravity: The effect of gravity can be measured but science still doesn’t know what makes it work. These are indeed exciting times.

What’s it Like to Learn Polarity Therapy?

This is difficult to describe as so much happens on so many levels. As you learn Polarity Therapy, you may feel like you were born knowing polarity therapy or discovered it on your own personal journey as a healer. Learning polarity therapy is more like remembering than it is like learning something new. That’s because everyone, whether they perceive it or not, has an energy system that needs corrections.

But more importantly, as you learn the techniques and practice the work, it changes you. If you are receiving a session, you are in the energy of Polarity Therapy healing for 60-90 minutes. However, when you give sessions multiple times a day, you are in that same energy for hours on a daily basis rather than once a week or once a month. Being in the energy for extended periods of time transforms your perception and your body. You also receive sessions as part of your polarity school experience.

The exposure to this much transformative and healing energy changes your nervous, endocrine and other systems and may also be changing your mitochondria, microbiome and even your DNA. The end result is that almost all Polarity Therapists realize a profound shift in their perception and intuition along with physical changes in their bodies and their lives.

What is Polarity Therapy?

Polarity Therapy is the application of how energy manifests in the human form and the ways that it can become blocked, causing illness, or cleared to create health. It was developed in 1940-1980 by Doctor Randolph Stone, a Chiropractor, and Osteopath who searched the world over to find what prevented people from healing.

With concepts from the new field of Quantum Physics that recognized energy as the building blocks of matter and finding the energy-based healing modalities including Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic from India, he created the breakthrough model known as Polarity Therapy. Polarity Therapy includes energetically based bodywork, thoughts/beliefs, exercises, and nutritional understanding.

Polarity School Programs

The 660 clock hour Polarity Therapy program offered at Spa Tech Institute is based on decades of work by author, developer and teacher Nancy Risley, RPE, BCPP, who was also the Chair of the American Polarity Therapy Association, Board of Certification for Polarity Practitioners. Her unique understanding of transformational healing work uses a powerful combination of Polarity Therapy and energy techniques developed in Realizing Your Sublime Energies ( RYSE ) which was developed by Nancy. The synthesis of these two techniques creates training that teaches self-clearing as the core of being able to clear others.

RYSE is the study and application of how to manifest your highest potential through energy awareness and intention. Using this energy as a tool for self-transformation through self-realization, you learn to become an energetically aware being who is able to heal yourself on the most profound levels. This work is present in the form of advanced energy clearing techniques, energetically based channeling and communications, and client empowerment techniques.

Polarity School ProgramsThe benefits of these combined modalities are that you move into a state of realization that allows for deep healing and the creation of new patterns of living that are consciously aligned with realizing your highest potential in all areas of your life. What you experience you can then teach to others through a combination of polarity bodywork, energy clearing, energetic nutrition, and energy exercises.

Polarity Programs Offered at the Polarity School

There are both introductory APP programs available for CEU ‘s or for professional or personal development as well as the full RPP training.

We look forward to working with you as you learn this exciting new field.

“After having one polarity session, and feeling the immediate peace and balance that occurred, I knew I wanted to share this experience with others. After eight years, I continue to enjoy a very successful practice and a superior quality of life.”
