Polarity Realization Therapy Career Training


660-clock-hour


Polarity Bodywork

Are you intuitive, sensitive to energy around you and tuned in to vibrational healing? Then you are an ideal candidate for the Polarity Therapy Career Program.


Whether you were born knowing polarity 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. As a polarity therapist you unlock your own potential as you perform the work on others. It is impossible to work with high energy without being transformed by the energy.


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 break through model known as Polarity Therapy. Polarity Therapy includes energetically based bodywork, thoughts/beliefs, exercises, and nutritional understanding.


The 660 clock hour Polarity Therapy program offered at Spa Tech is transformational healing work that uses a powerful combination of Polarity Therapy and some of the techniques developed in RYSE®.  The synthesis of these two techniques creates a training that is completely unique.


RYSE® is the study and application of how to manifest your highest potential through energy awareness and clearing.  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.


The benefits of these combined modalities is that people 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 their highest potential in all areas of their lives. 


There are also shorter introductory programs available for CEUs or for professional or personal development. Call or email the institute to schedule an appointment to review your options.

 

"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."
