Polarity Therapy Foundation

The foundation of all my work is polarity therapy. It really doesn’t matter what path a client decides to take when they are faced with a challenge in life. Some come in wanting to try hypnosis, another conscious coaching, another enzyme therapy, and sometimes massage therapy.

Polarity Therapy Stands Powerfully

Polarity Therapy is one modality that stands powerfully on it’s own. Addressing so many challenges from anxiety, depression, back pain, neck pain, structural alignment, sciatic pain, headaches, to empty nest syndrome and life changes such as divorce, grief, to job changes.

Additional feedback from you and my answers:

What you are looking for?

No light coming in

Please know that you can request all exterior lights off while floating. There are no windows in the new space which support the darkness.

Shower & bathroom in same room

In the new space you will have the shower in the same room, the bathroom is right next to the tank room.

No chlorine smell

I don’t blame you on this one. We now sanitize the tank with commercial grade hydrogen peroxide. This is safer and better for the everyone.

More than one tank

I hear you on this and appreciate your request. For the past thirteen years of providing floating the number of times people bring a friend still does not justify the expense in doing this. I will keep my eye on it and when timing is right will work to provide the second tank.

Reward for cancelling early

I believe that everyone needs to honor and value the time of other people. The reward for cancelling in advance is that you will not be charged. This also allows another person to schedule that time slot.

Free first float

Sorry on this one. I can’t provide this as I need to pay people to supervise floats and do orientations. The first floats will continue to remain the same full price as they are more time consuming. You may however stop in to see the tank and ask questions, please let me know when you would like to come by and I will meet you.

Discounts for bringing a friend

We currently provide a monthly membership where you can float once a month for the cost of $40. per month, if you choose to share your membership with a friend, they too can float for $40. If you float more than once a month, you still get that same price, your second float in the same month is an additional $40.. This a a monthly auto bill to your credit card when you sign up.

Member Yearly Discounts

There seem to be quite a few floaters who would float weekly or bi-weekly if the yearly membership was available.

  • *****Yearly Float ONLY Member: Cost $ 650 (If you float 26 times in a year this package will save you $910.) For the committed floater, you cannot beat this deal.

Finally Moving Forward

 

FLOAT TANK IS FINALLY COMING TO WEST BOYLSTON

Out new space!

Just yesterday I received word from the Architectural Access Board that I have their permission to go ahead and put the tank at the new center where everything else is happening. Yeah!

Moving there without the tank has felt like leaving one of your kids at home. Floatation has become such a huge part of the business that having it stay behind in the old location just feels wrong. Now that I have permission to move the tank I face the next challenge. Strategically planning the cost associated with the final phase of the build out. Stretching, imagining, and possible bartering, I am determined to bring the tank home to it’s new location to complete the center.

It’s exciting to bring the tank over to West Boylston! For those of you who are not aware; when I started my polarity practice in 1999 I was across the street from this new location. Something keeps bringing me back to this town, not sure what it is but West Boylston is an awesome little town and central to so many major routes and highways. It makes perfect sense to be there.

As I anticipate the tank up and running in West Boylston I see the need to eventually hire someone who can manage the front of the space as well as support the floaters. This is very exciting time for Crystalline Awaken, it is the next stage of expansion, one that became very necessary in order to get the idea of floating in front of so many more people. I am looking forward to seeing a big expansion with the opening with the floatation tank room. It’s exciting to look at the plans; shower directly in front of the tank, an ideal situation, space for hanging the clothes, towel storage, bathrooms right next to the tank room, it really doesn’t get any better than this.

For the next few weeks I will carefully plan this move out to bring it to completion as quickly as possible. At the present time I am surveying all the current floaters and future floaters to determine which factors are most important to people. As I see it right now, it appears this location will be inviting, hours will be expanded to offer evening appointments during the week. There is a meditation space right outside of the float room for anyone wishing to arrive early or waiting for someone. And there is plenty to do in West Boylston for the person waiting, trails, water, scenery, it’s just a beautiful little town to visit.

From many major highways our location intersects with 140, traveling from Leominster, Lancaster, Princeton, Holden, Marlboro, Northboro, Westboro, Worcester, Boston, Springfield, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, or local residents, it’s an easy and pleasant travel.

I would like to highly encourage floaters to book their appointments in advance, take advantage of the specials that I will be sending out. Check emails, these are how the specials are delivered. I look forward to a waiting list to float, and you should to. Book ahead and pay ahead for the discounts, make sure you get yourself in now.

It’s happening… finally!!!! I hope you are as excited as I am to see this happening later than I anticipated but happening still.

See you soon! Remember that you can always add bodywork to the float session or simply sit in the meditation space and maximize your visit. We offer organic teas, water, and comfort for your wait time. You may want to read a little, we have a shop copy of the Book of Floating for those who want to know more about what they are doing in the tank.

Many Blessings for this Awakening Process!

Polarity & Float

This is the ultimate combination for awakening! I see a lot of people doing one or the other and not mixing it up. The idea when I brought floatation into the business was to support clients to a deeper level who were already in the awakening process. I am surprised at the number of people not taking advantage of the power of this combined therapy.

The difference between floating and polarity therapy is this:

Polarity Therapy is amazingly powerful and effective in moving the blockages of energy that exist in everyone. Floatation as does polarity provides an opportunity to experience a deep relaxed state where the recipient is renewed as a result of each service. Floatation is clearing on many levels as the mind empties of the repetitious thoughts that simply take up space. Polarity supports this process as well through the cranial sacral techniques that are applied in each session. Floatation does not provide this, however it provides letting go of tension. The benefit to Polarity is the energy systems are balanced which deepens the ability to experience deeper connection to our awareness of who we are.

Personally, the combination of the two therapies is simply amazing for the awakening process. Many floaters come for the experience of floating and many utilize the tank as a tool for awakening on a much deeper level. Each experience is different in every session depending upon the individual goals and readiness to the next levels of awareness. I am passionate in providing both of these services to clients and would love to see more people experiencing the combination, at least for the experience.

Energy Exercises

Energy Exercises

Eye Movement

Sit quietly for a couple minutes

Breath in and say the number 3, next breath, say the number 2, next breath say the number 1 and close your eyes. Affirm to yourself; “I am calm, I am relaxed, I am in control.”

With your eyes closed, begin to move your eyes from right to left in the shape of the number 8. You are strengthening your 3rd eye, the center of intuition and vision.

Body Movement

Stand with your feet approximately shoulder width apart

Move your hips in the shape of an 8, maintain focus on the ease of the movement of your hips, do not move your whole body, keep the movement limited to your hips.

Focus

Sit with your eyes closed

Using the same method of counting as above and the affirmation “I am calm, I am relaxed, I am in control.” Do this for 3 minutes each day.

Dance

Turn on music that your body resonates with and allow yourself to move, stay fully aware of the movement of each muscle, allow yourself to let go completely. Move easily and effortlessly with the rhythm.

Sound

Using the sound of your own voice, use vowel sounds and feel the vibration, locate where the vibration is, which chakra, what do you notice, how do you feel?

Hypnosis in my practice

Who can offer hypnosis?

Hypnosis for therapeutic benefit provides many options to the therapist working with clients. Therapist of social work, psychologists, nurses, psychiatrists, massage therapy, and more.

When will hypnosis support your clients?

Your clients will at some time or another require hypnosis as a therapeutic tool to overcome something in their life. As a polarity therapist I have added hypnosis to many sessions for added support. In a polarity session clients have the option of addressing anything from emotional to physical as well as spiritual. Polarity therapy supports clients in finding the emotional balance, spiritual connection, as well as physical balance as a result of balancing each element to support energy flow.

A Seamless Integration

Hypnosis as an added tool to Polarity is a seamless integration during an intake, while the client is in a tasmic (parasympathetic) state, or during the closing part of a session. Due to the nature of hypnosis there is much flexibility for integration through creative visualization methods, deepening techniques, trauma resolution, age regression, channeling and more. A massage therapist as well as any type of bodywork therapist will inevitably work with clients in physical and emotional pain. Understanding how to integrate hypnosis into the session would be incredibly useful in supporting their clients.

Psychiatry / Hypnosis

One of my instructors for hypnosis was a psychiatrist, he uses hypnosis more than psychiatry to support his clients. Why? Because it gets the results the clients are seeking.

Results are what your clients want.

In the medical profession the number of clients who could use this type of support is astronomical in relation to not only the patient but the loved ones who are dealing with trauma associated with their loved ones. Physical and emotional pain can be addressed through hypnosis whether you call it hypnosis or creative visualization, it really doesn’t matter as long as it supports the patient.

Opportunity is limitless!

Opportunity for creating a practice is expansive. You may be someone who loves to work with athletes and may do “performance” hypnosis. Or maybe you are more like me, and love to work to alleviate pain and suffering of past trauma. Typically clients coming in with anxiety or panic disorder are also dealing with multiple layers of trauma, deal with the trauma and the anxiety disappears.

Once certified as a hypnotist you would naturally continue your education in either a field of expertise or to expand your practice to work with multiple challenges; from addiction, recovery, relationship, performance, hypno-birthing, pain management, and more.

Continuing Education an Exciting Field

In addition to using hypnosis techniques to support the many challenges we face during this human experience, learning neuro-linguistic programming is beneficial to both the practitioner and the client. Understanding how to feed back to your client what they are seeking to change is pivotal in creating success.

There are hypnotist doing some incredible work with corporations in motivation technique, sales techniques, stress management, creative or guided visualizations, and team building. Your previous experience and knowledge of hypnosis opens the doors for you to create the practice you desire.

Create Your Vision

You may want to work with groups, individuals, families, corporations, medical, dental, or plastic surgeons. There is a lot of work to do to support people. If you are ready to integrate hypnosis or begin your journey in creating a practice, the next step is to schedule an appointment to discuss your options and your visions for success. Hypnosis Certification is only 100 hours and recognized nationally through the National Guild of Hypnotist.

Feel free to call 508-612-7488 or simply schedule through our appointment schedule on line. I am excited to bring this work to you to support your vision.

Enzyme Therapy Importance

Symptoms; Natures First Alarm
By: Tina Brigitini, Digestive Specialist

Recognizing the importance of enzymes and where they come from

When you understand the importance of enzymes, maintaining health is easy.

Thank you for taking the time to educate yourself to the power of digestion, the challenges, and our available foods. I do hope that the years of research and study I have done around creating health will help you in your mission to accessing a healthy balance.

Most of my education comes from practical experience and the work with client challenges; from physical to emotional and spiritual. There is no doubt that one affects the other; hence the importance of nutrition to create emotional and physical health.

Polarity Yoga & Kids

I don’t need to tell you that kids who take yoga do better in school, they do! Studies have proven that kids who do a mindful practice of being still have an increased ability to focus.

The combination of yoga and polarity yoga that we provide to our younger students supports their ability to balance themselves, hold their power, and connect deeply to their true spirit.

Polarity yoga is a gentle form of movement that combines sound and breath. The sound is used to vibrate the structure of the bones to create release. Each posture is related to an elemental quality; ether, air, fire, water, and earth.

The usefulness of children learning to use these movements is that they learn how to balance their emotions as well as their physical body in relation to energy.

An example of the elements in relation to emotions would be water to feelings of sadness, when balanced the child can access creativity in place of sadness. In relation to fire out of balance the child experiences anger or frustration. When they learn how to release these feelings through movement they can experience joy, passion, and direction. The element of air is related to the nervous system and out of balance can be experienced as foggy, or jumpy, in balance it is clarity of thought. Ether represents the space around them, and within and Earth their ability to feel secure in the world.

Polarity Yoga is wonderful for adults as well. Parents wishing to join their children in classes are invited to do so.

Please see our website for the next four week series beginning in June.

Polarity Client Responses

The Polarity Clients Immediate Response

Watching a client awaken from Polarity is one of the most rewarding experiences of doing the work. The expression of joy is typically seen on their faces. Their first words spoken are; “I don’t know where I just went?” Second, I am so relaxed I don’t want to get up.

What brings clients to polarity?

I am not sure we can answer simply why they come but what they bring in to work on might resonate with you. My observations of what brings them to the work is an inner guidance.

Life challenges us daily, whatever your challenge is what you will most likely bring to a polarity session. The polarity therapist is listening intently to determine where energy is blocked and how unblocking supports the client in managing the stresses of life.

The Polarity Therapist may also be trained in advanced energy work and assist in clearing to bring in right resolution.

Life is happening, polarity balances so that you can manage life in the most harmonious way. Feeling centered, balanced, and aligned, assist in creating solutions to everyday situations.

How do we know when we are out of balance?

This is as subtle as bringing the body back to balance. The one common response I hear from clients is; “I didn’t realize how much I needed that, I feel sooooo much better”. It’s difficult to recognize out of balance until one is in balance.

Here are some of the symptoms of energy out of balance:

  • Difficulty in concentration
  • Relationships seem more challenging
  • Feeling stuck
  • Life seems more challenging than normal
  • Digestive issues
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Panic
  • Inability to conceive
  • Attracting people in life that are not serving
  • Difficulty in holding appropriate boundaries
  • Extreme emotional outbursts, anger or tears
  • Scattered thoughts
  • A lot of ideas but no follow through
  • Feelings of insecurity
  • Fatigue
  • Lack of joy or interest

These are some symptoms and there are many more. If you have any one of the above something is out of balance.

Observations Over Time

One of the most asked questions when clients receive the work of polarity is; “how often should I receive this work?”. I answer this based on the level of discomfort in their lives. Often clients who are seeking resolution from past trauma may experience more difficulty in relationship, in life itself. These clients will benefit by receiving sessions on a bi-weekly basis for at least six sessions. Others who are working on remaining balanced and clear so they are making appropriate decisions in moving forward may benefit from bi-weekly or monthly sessions. Due to the fact that imbalance can be subtle, I recommend clients come at least monthly to maintain balance while continuing to strengthen at the core of who they came to be in this life time. Simply stated, manifesting the truth of their spirit. It is always up to the client. The more frequent the sessions the faster the evolution and awakening.

Practitioners of any kind are susceptible to taking on the energy of their clients and would benefit by receiving polarity and energy clearing bi-weekly at minimum.

Please enjoy this mini polarity session…. something I put together about six years ago to educate people to polarity therapy.
