This professional Polarity Therapy Advanced Somatic Energy Healing training Part 2 is designed for students who have completed an American Polarity Therapy Association (APTA) approved training Associate Polarity Principles APP level of training- part 1. The RPP advanced educational levels are broken into parts 2 & 3. This program's intention is to support the seasoning and deepening of the student's understanding of this comprehensive healing system of Polarity Therapy. We will go in-depth in learning more sophisticated energy maps, studying systems of the body, and learning to facilitate the polarity therapy process with practice clients therapeutically.
Practitioner skills continue to be fostered to promote a clear, spacious, and neutral space to listen to the Inherent blueprint of wholeness within practice clients. We continue to emphasize cultivating physical and energetic ease, alignment, and effortlessness throughout the polarity process. Students deepen their ability to sensitively feel, listen to, and read the energy in a client's system and apply the diverse skills of energetic touch, Gentle Movement energy exercises, Energetics of food and nourishment, and gaining a bigger awareness of a clients alignment with their physical, energetic, emotions and thought. The student learns to balance their intuition with knowledge and theory of the many layers of this healing system.
Of vital importance in all of our training programs at Tree of Life Center is to create a supportive, inclusive learning environment that fosters personal growth while learning therapeutic skills to support another in their healing journey. Our educational model incorporates a diversity of kinesthetic, visual, and auditory learning styles to support students in how they learn best, and students are encouraged to find their unique pace and connect with tangible resources to bring more regulation to their own nervous system throughout the learning journey. Through this program, we work to support students in developing a deeply embodied understanding of Polarity Therapy.
"As long as these elements or energies flow into and through each other, and support each other in function, all is well."
