"Hi, I'm Sundae with Natural Sundae. Have you ever heard of polarity massage? What does it mean? Well, I'm going to tell you. Now, polarity massage is actually not all a massage-related therapy. It requires many different techniques, and the basis is it works on the human energy field. That basically means that everyone has electromagnetic fields going through their body, and there are three types. There are electromagnetic fields that run longways. There are electromagnetic fields that run transverse -- that means cuts through our body. And then there are electromagnetic fields that spiral out from our core and spiral outward into the universe. Now, there are many different techniques used, but the basis of polarity therapy is this: They believe that each and every cell in our body -- and we have trillions and trillions and trillions of them. Each cell, each tiny cell, has a negative pole and a positive pole, and polarity therapy works with special manipulation techniques to balance these two poles and achieve balance in the whole body. Now, there are four types of techniques used. Not only is massage used, which is manipulation of the soft tissue, tendons, and connective tissue and muscles, of course, but there's also special cleansing diet that's given. Massage is given to, of course, release physical blockages. Well, this purification diet is also given to help release those blockages in your body. Besides the massage and besides the purification diet, there's also stretching exercises that are given, and usually, this is yoga. Yoga also helps to release physical blockages and it's also wonderful for releasing mental and emotional blockages as well. The fourth type of therapy used in polarity therapy is sort of a little, mini therapy session. Not only are...does the therapist work with you in the other areas on physical blockages, but this little, mini therapy session helps to talk about and release any types of blockages in your life -- any types of old patterns or beliefs that you may have that just aren't working out for you. So it's really a mini counseling session. So in polarity therapy, you're trying to balance the two poles in each and every cell, positive and negative, bring those together and you're equal balanced. And then you're using massage, you're using cleansing diet, you're using yoga stretching, and you're using a little, mini therapy session to identify all the blockages in your life and to remove them for your benefit. So I hope you've learned a little bit about polarity therapy. It's very interesting. I'm Sundae with Natural Sundae. Take care."
