Polarity therapy is a holistic way of healing illnesses based on Western and Eastern techniques. The therapy focuses on balancing of energy flow in the body which has been blocked. This therapy is based on the idea that to maintain normal health and well being, electromagnetic energy of the body has to flow from positive to negative pole, through a neutral field. A disturbance in this flow of energy results in illnesses. This concept of health and healing was developed by Dr Randolph Stone decades ago.
Polarity therapy considers the 7 Ayurvedic Chakras as the primary energy center.
