In bioenergetic theory, the concept of polarity has to do with a slightly negatively charged electrostatic field that permeates the physical body. We call this the polarity field. It is formed from both the chemical and energetic activity of the body, and it plays a vital role in the formation and functioning of the human body-field.

What is the Body-Field?

The body-field itself is the fundamental control system for the body – it’s associated with the production and direction of energy. We could call it not only a blueprint for life, but a director of chemical activity as well. It operates as a wireless communication system alongside the wired nervous system.

The body-field is itself composed of countless smaller fields – fields associated with each organ, but also every cell and organelle. We can talk about the importance of various fields – the drivers involved in producing energy; the integrators in guiding everyday activities; the terrains in guiding healing processes; and so on.

But some fields have an effect across the entire body-field. Professor Peter Fraser, who developed the first complete body-field theory, would have pointed to the cell driver – helping to power every cell – and the imprinter driver as two such fields. The polarity field would also be counted among elements that are central to the health of the entire body.

In fact, according to Fraser, in the process of assessing the body-field and understanding what needs support for better health, aligning one’s own field with the earth’s “big fields” and ensuring a healthy polarity are key to unraveling the rest of the story. He used an analogy of trying to understand a road map when the map itself is crumpled. By first smoothing it out, you can then read the map. Correcting big field alignment and polarity help to smooth out the map.

Disruptions to Polarity

Air travel is one of the biggest disruptors of the physical body and the body-field’s polarity because we’re exposed to increased levels of electromagnetic fields and X-ray ionizing radiation.

The Benefits of Correcting The Body’s Polarity

In addition to certain bioenergetic solutions to polarity, this field can be supported through grounding – that is, touching the skin to the earth and absorbing negatively charged electrons. You can also get this effect through certain bioelectric technologies.

Whatever method one uses for correcting polarity, the results are far-reaching. We already discussed how it influences the body-field overall, so it plays a key general role in health. But further, Fraser’s research suggests that stem cells in the red marrow of the bones provide a main link between this polarity field and the physical body. Given their importance in the immune system, we can see additional value to polarity correction.

The Role of Polarity in Body Memory 

There are other benefits as well. Fraser placed great emphasis on the role of memory in the body – not just our conscious memory, but memory of the body in order to continually reproduce itself in the right way. Errors in memory could cause a breakdown in how the body functions.

This raises the topic of chakras, which are seen in various traditional healing methods as energy centers in the body, related to certain organs and even personal traits. They are usually described as seven centers, though some traditions recognize more.

Fraser recognized such centers, but mainly as records of everything that has happened to you. Perhaps each stores certain types of information, or information related to specific areas of the body; nevertheless, they play an important role in memory, and the polarity field appears to bioenergetically match these; in other words, it may play a role in how memory is stored and retrieved.

Fraser further saw that polarity was related to genetic memory and even consciousness itself. This simply builds on the idea that polarity plays a key role in the body’s knowledge of rebuilding itself each day.

Besides this, Fraser found matches between the body’s polarity and many hormones and enzymes. Clinically speaking, he found that it helped with hot flashes in menopausal women as well as overall mental integration.

Conclusion

Polarity may be one of the easier concepts to understand when we dive deeply into the theory of the human body-field. But this doesn’t make it any less profound. It is one of the few things that deeply affects all other elements of the body-field. Because of this, it plays a priority role in supporting overall health, and importantly, it plays a priority role in both conscious and subconscious awareness of who we are, providing continuity of both body and identity.
