DESCRIPTION

Ayurveda and Polarity Therapy share a hands-on, present focus when working with clients. Learn how to apply Ayurvedic methods of tongue and fingernail assessment in your Polarity Therapy practice. With relaxed observation, we will notice differences in the tongue and what this indicates from a constitutional, nutritional, and organ perspective. Likewise, observing the fingernails with respect, we will see differences related to the elements, the organs, and nutritional needs. You will learn to:

• look with a fresh perspective at the tongue and fingernails

• discover how specific areas of the tongue relate to different parts of the body

• see how tongue assessment can be used to determine whether cleansing or building is needed, and how digestion can be supported

• observe the fingernails for information relating to mineral status, absorption, and metabolic strength

These are advanced clinical techniques. Advanced students who want to work with deeper energy, awareness, and focus in their practices will find them useful.

Beginners are welcome with the permission of the director of the Polarity Therapy Institute.

Note: In this 1 ½ hour hands-on training, you will be assessing yourself in the first 45 minutes, and will need a mirror to see your own tongue. In the second 45 minutes, you’ll need a partner to be able to practice on the techniques. Come with an open mind and relaxed eyes.

(90 Minutes, Recorded via Zoom 6/2/21)
