The human body is constantly immersed in the energetic substance of the universe. Within this substance exists the energetic balance of the Polarities in our human energetic field. That Human energetic field runs in either clockwise or anti clockwise polar directions depending on the health and condition of a persons energetic being and connection to self and different Human dimensions of existance. When Polarity is imbalanced in someone it can contribute to the onset of weakness in their energy field making them more susceptible to damaging frequencies, bad nutrition patterns and living habits and toxic environments and medications. Imbalanced Polarity has even been equated to mere temporary reversal of sickness if not corrected as a adjunctive form of balancing the Human field.

This is Polarity in it's basic form of understanding. The depth of polarity and it's still unclear effects on us as an evolving race can be more deeply looked into by reading some cutting edge research done by Dr. Bruce E. Morton, Ph.D of University of Hawaii School of Medicine...He wrote a wonderful research document on the nature and history of Polarity and it's effect on us as a race. Still seeking his peers approval for publishing in Medical Journals Dr. Morton has accomplished some wonderful insight and documentation of his studies in the field of Human Polarity.

Human Polarity is mostly unheard of by the general public and has been thought of as an esoteric subject, but is a very important and powerful energetic that the electromagntic circuitry of our being is directed by. The balancing of ones Polarity is an important part of the equation in maintaining a healthy and potent immune system, endocrine, nervous and circulatory system. When our Polarity is in alignment with that of our cosmic environment and mother earth we are far more capable of maintaining a sense of Wellbeing and can more readily withstand and shifts occuring in our own solar system and galaxy. The ocean and seawater that our physical selves is mostly made up of make for a very electrically conductive vessel, which obviously whether we realise it or not make us highly vulnerable to energetic changes at the cosmic level. To remember and reconnect with this depth of connection to ones self and to correct our Polarity if imbalanced will help hold any and all other energetic balancing being undertaken and assist in communicating back with self at a cellular/universal level. The Micro and Macro are one in the same.

Back before the current system of civilization our ancient healers and spirit leaders understood the importance of being connected and in alignment with their environment. When one was out of sorts and needed grounding to correct their Polarity the local wise man would often advise the ailing person to go into the woods and lay against the base of a beautiful old tree. The plant world are known for their constant state of Zen and are the original organic spiritually intelligent lifeforms on the planet. Known as the slow moving devas of the earth, numerous studies undertaken over the past two hundred years make if abundantly clear remembering and studying the innate intelligence of our environment opens truths that have been forgotten but remain and exist within the energetic realm all the same, never disconnected from source. 'The Secret Life of Plants' by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird is such a reference book that will open your understanding of the truly special world we are gifted.
If we were as conciously aware and respectful of our origins and connection to our source as the great Oaks, and Redwoods of the world we will be well on the path towards our collective reunion.
