What is Polarity Therapy?

"This unique form of energy healing enables you to look at what you’re carrying as pain, stress and disease. It provides an opportunity to access and unwind the origins that create physical, mental and emotional symptoms.

How does polarity balancing compare to reiki?

"Polarity balancing and reiki are energy therapies that supposedly work by releasing blocked energy channels in your body. Both techniques use similar hands-on techniques and have little scientific evidence to support their use. 

The idea that your body’s electromagnetic charge plays a role in blocking your energy flow is unique to polarity balancing. 

Below is a breakdown of their differences.

Reiki

• Reiki comes from Japan, and it’s usually accepted that it was created by Dr. Mikao UsuiTrusted Source
• . It’s thought to involve the transfer of energy from the palms of the practitioner to the patient.
• It’s believed that energy stagnates in the body when there’s an injury or emotional pain.
• A practitioner may transfer energy with their hands in contact with the client or slightly above the client’s body.
• Sessions are generally shorter than polarity balancing.

Polarity balancing

• Polarity balancing is influenced by Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine.
• Proponents believe that changes in your body’s electromagnetic fields block your body’s energy flow.
• Practitioners use their hands in contact with your body to release energy.
• Sessions generally take longer than reiki sessions."-Healthline
