Polarity Therapy Volume 1, Book 3 Chart No. 22 - Activating Anterior and Posterior Body Areas for the Release of Gases.

(A) The same firm thumb X contact on the left side of the back releases the emotional energy blocks which contract the duodenal fibres [fibers] into spacticity [spasticity]. This emotional chemistry is the prime factor of gas because of the peristaltic stasis which it produces. (B) Thumb contact between the transverse process of the fourth and fifth dorsal [thoracic, T4, T5] vertebrae opens the pylorus. (C) A contact in front as in Fig. 1 with a flat right hand polarity contact on the back for gas release. Brace the right elbow on your knee to stretch the back over the hand contact in a lifting motion. The sitting up posture is best because it favors the release of gases.
