“The healing process is the pivotal point around which all polarity procedures spin. The intention of Polarity Therapy is to stimulate and encourage it…Health is not just about an absence of symptoms, but is more an attitude and way of life that can be learned and experienced. People initially come to see a polarity therapist because they are in some form of pain or discomfort. This may have physical, emotional, or mental tones. I do not perceive my role as a therapist as one of curing their pain. I see my role and the role of polarity therapy at its greatest depth, as helping the client explore, tolerate, accept and finally let go of their pain or problem. It is an educative rather than corrective role. At a deep level I believe that the body and its energies know best, if given the chance. Ill health, pain and suffering is a process, not a thing. It is a process which can be known and perceived by ourselves. Healing is also a process; it too can be known and perceived.”—The Polarity Process: Energy as a Healing Art, Franklin Sills (North Atlantic Books, 2002)
