Human touch promotes calmness, revitalization and integration of the whole person. This belief is ancient and exists in all cultures. Recent advances in measuring the effects of different therapeutic interventions demonstrates scientifically how one person's electromagnetic field can be influenced and affected through the touch of a trained practitioner, ultimately influencing their state of health.

In Polarity Therapy, the practitioner's energy is neither given away nor channeled, it is only used as a model for the client's energy by assisting the client to draw in, release or redistribute energy for him/herself.

The practitioner simply waits for a balance, a sensation that they recognize in their hands.

The practitioner's hands assist the flow of healing energy in the client's body often resulting in a profound state of relaxation.

A variety of touches, ranging from light (Sattvic) to medium or stimulating (Rajasic) to deep (Tamasic), are used to activate the client's innate healing ability by connecting specific reflex points or areas on the body.
