Principles & Application

2. A deconcentration of electromagnetic light waves in the fields of the cells with an increase of hydroxyl ions makes the cells excessively alkaline, cold, constricted and dehydrated. This is the basis for all chronic diseases and limitation of motion. Here the water element* is functioning in excess, as the primary polarity factor in the energy fields' imbalance, as an excess negative charge with its constrictive over-alkalinity, limiting function and motion, and its crippling effect like in arthritis, rheumatism, etc.

Depressed and repressed mental-emotional states have an effect on the electromagnetic waves and their charge and cellular polarity. These fields can be balanced when the patient is co-operative and willing to work with it as change in diet, habits, hot and cold water therapy, sunbaths, grounding the body, etc. But primarily it is the new inspiration of hope and a positive attitude that makes the vital change in the mental, emotional ion attraction and polarity fields of the electromagnetic light wave charges. It is here where the humorous element comes in to arouse the patient by making him good and mad, so he or she will show you what they can do. The stories of the effectiveness of this suggestive therapy are legion and most practical when used with discretion. The inspiration given by new ideas, new hopes, a new doctor, a new cure all have the same basic impact in the energy field on a stagnant, negatively-charged mind and emotion with its deteriorating chemistry. We are either self-motivated or we must be pushed. This finer chemistry, connected with our emotions and thinking, has not been given much attention and yet is one of the greatest factors in our life and health-building process. "As a man thinketh, so is he."[1] Every cell responds to the pattern-energy impulse. The process of breathing sustains our life in the earth's atmosphere. We depend on every breath to sustain us in that moment of life on earth. If

2 Here the words "water element" are referring to the Yin Principle. This is an example of how Dr. Stone's Principles/Elements language can be confusing. The reference to water as one of the five elements is also useful in that the water (second) chakra is associated with damp cold conditions when it is out of balance, but the primary intention here is Yin in the Three Principles. To alleviate confusion between the Three Principles and the Five Elements, many Polarity practitioners refer to Dr. Stone's "Fiery Principle" as "Yang," and his "Watery Principle" as "Yin." See The Three Principles and Five Elements for more information.
