This part of the forum seems a little quiet, so I thought I'd try and jig it up a bit!

I know, I got very excited when I saw someone new had made a post![sm=jump2.gif]
Now, to your question. I'm not a polarity therapist myself, although if you've read my previous posts here, you will have seen that I am presently having sessions. From my expereince of Polarity, I would make the following observations:
Compared to most therapy courses, it is very in-depth, and there is also the nutrition, exercise and counselling aspects which also have to be learnt. I would make a guess that most Polarity therapists have already worked in a healing or theraputic environment (i.e gained experience as a healer or therapist) before moving into this field. A great deal of the session is carried out intuitively, and for this reason experience of metaphysical healing and working with individuals to help imapact change on a mental, physical, emotional and spiritual level is extremely useful.
Imagine a dog-behaviourist/trainer for example. It would be very difficult for someone who had never worked, played, walked, and generally lived with a dog to start looking at the inner workings of their mind and working out what makes them tick. Yes, everyone knows what a dog looks like, and that most will respond to food when you want them to do something, but I expect dogs have a lot more about them than we give them credit for! It takes someone who has grown up with dogs and knows all their little idiosyncrasies and quirky ways to be a great dog behaviourist. To put that in context with the polarity course, you work with people every day, and I'm sure you will have gained many insights into human nature when working in the office! but how much experience do you have of empowering people and helping them find their own inner healing gifts? I'm not saying that you have to be an expert before you start training (because that would just defeat the whole object of learning!!) but I think there are certain things that you simply cannot learn "in the classroom."
I don't know how much previous expereince you have had, so it's very difficult to give advice, but what I would suggest is to learn as much as you can!
* Read books on complementary health and indivdual therapies.
*Have fun learning about the subtle energy systems of the body- chakras, meridians, marmas, the HEF and how imbalances within them can impact on our physical health.
* Delve into some metaphysical health books- a good starting point is 'Heal Your Body' by Louise L Hay.
* Attend natural health fayres
* Go to short courses and workshops in complementary health
*Here's the fun one- try the treatments out yourself!! The only warning here would be not to try lots of different ones all at once- if you do that you wouldn't be giving them enough of a chance to see if they work for you. I'd suggest finding a treatment that really interests you, and then (depending on the treatment) going about once a week for 6 weeks, this is usually enough to note changes. Collect your thoughts about that treatment, and then move onto something else.
Most of all, remember that to become a healer, one must first heal themselves. You know the type of work that doesn't satisfy you, and you have shown an interest in healing- that's fantastic, it will be rewarding! But first address all the things that need healing in yourself, and gain personal experience of healing. You will learn so much more this way!
Good luck,
