Everything in the universe, including our bodies, is made up of molecules moving at a unique rate of speed for that particular form and function.  In Ayurvedic theory, there are also 5 elements expressing through the body, preferably in a harmonious way to one another as Ether, Air, Fire, Water & Earth.

"Ether is the one river from which all other rivers flow"  

Dr. Randolph Stone, D.C., D.O., N.D.

While we require an overall free flow of life force (Prana or Chi) for a healthy body, mind & spirit, we also need a balanced interaction between these 5 elements for well-being on all levels.

For example, the Fire element governs the function of our head, stomach and thighs as follows:

   

   Head ~ Fire moves through this area as the brain fires up for clear thinking and overall function as the brain

               and spinal cord control all functions as our body's "mother board".

   Stomach ~ This area needs to fire up for "burning" food as our digestive system fuels us.

   Thighs ~ Our larger leg muscles need to Fire up in order for us to access enough energy for our "get up and go".

Fire imbalances express as: Headaches; lack of clarity; earaches; stomach problems, fatique...and more.

Balanced Fire express as: Clear thinking; good digestion, overall strength, motivated action...and more.

Each one of these elements play an important role in our overall state of being. I truly believe Dr. Stone's healing science known as Polarity Therapy is one of the most comprehensively balancing techniques available anywhere.
