How to Use thePolarity Therapy Workbook
The purpose of thePolarity Therapy Workbook is to provide a structure for learning the art of Polarity Therapy.
Structure, represented by the six-pointed star, is the masculine principle of Polarity Therapy. Structure creates the space for learning. That space must be filled with expressive and creative energy. Structure without expression leads to decreased life energy. Structure with expression leads to growth, joy, success, and the thrill of learning.
I trust that you and your teachers will fill this workbook with the expressive and creative qualities of Polarity Therapy. The workbook, like Dr. Stone’s “oval fields,” has many open spaces for your notes, drawings, doodles, and insights.
ThePolarity Therapy Workbook is an easy-to-read guidebook of pictures and protocols for the beginning as well as the advanced practitioner of Polarity Therapy. The workbook is designed to help you learn new skills, review the ones you already know, and practice the art of Polarity Therapy. Dr. Stone believed that learning requires “burning the midnight oil.” ThePolarity Therapy Workbook is one of many candles to help you through the night. May the Light be with you.
How to Use the Protocols
I compare my experience of learning Polarity Therapy to my experience of learning the ancient Chinese martial art of Tai Chi Chuan. The Tai Chi symbol is the same as the Polarity principle of life energy…
…It is an empty circle which contains both negative and positive forces within it. The ancient Chinese called these forcesYin andYang. Dr. Stone called this empty circle “neutral,” the Yang force “positive,” and the Yin force “negative.” These forces continually interact to create all life.
For thousands of years, Tai Chi has been taught with protocol movements called “forms” combined with readings in the Tai Chi classics. Each Tai Chi form contains the principles of the Tai Chi classics expressed in movement. When you practice the form correctly, your physical body aligns with these principles. Every time you reach a new degree of alignment, the Tai Chi classics must be studied again. This process creates an ongoing energetic connection between the mind and body.
In thePolarity Therapy Workbook, the protocols provide a systematic method of learning and practicing important Polarity principles and skills. Learning
