Polarity Function in Man & the Universe

same reason, downward stroking is soothing, while upward stroking - from the feet up to the head - is stimulating. This can be done with both hands, because the direction determines the polarity here.

The front of the body is sensory and receptive, and attracts. The back of the body is motor and repelling. For example, to turn our back on a person is to slight or dismiss him. Sensory pains have their origin in front of the body. Motor pains are usually of the bones or muscles and are found in the back.

All polarization is done from the front to the back, from side to side, and from the above to the below, or the superior to the inferior. What healing power lies in the hands of all beings, for themselves and for others, has to be tried to be convinced by proof. It is the primal electromagnetic energy of the molecular construction of the body. It is not a mystery, nor supernatural, any more than the principle of expansion and contraction. The nerve currents are the same energy in a conducted form for specific impulses from one definite area to another. The nerves act as wires. The molecular structural energy is wireless, but is tapped by switches in the brain, to flow over definite regions, and nowhere else. Polarity Therapy is a precise localization of currents for definite functions in the body.

The Creator gave each person energy, which flows from center to circumference and returns by polarity action. It also flows from within outward, and from the top downward, and returns by reaction or attraction from the surface to the center and from below to the above. That is how life works and the motor energy goes out, and the senses report back the result of the outgoing experience. By these paths of energy or light waves and rays, we can reach cause and effects in the body, and balance them within ourselves by mind and emotional polarity or balance; and with the hands, as energy polarity of the pranas or the five life breaths which animate the five senses, as sensory and motor functions.
