The concept of Duality is a fundamental principle that interpenetrates all of existence.  In a dualistic system, two equal and opposing forces operate in such a way as to create a unity when harmonized properly.  Simple examples of this principle include day/night, physical/spiritual, outer/inner, etc.

When considering the dualistic system of the physical/spiritual body, it follows that when these two components are in harmonious alignment then the self (unity) will experience perfect health.  The goal of both Reiki and Polarity Therapy is to accomplish the task of bringing these opposing vibrations (physical/spiritual) into harmony.  In order to do so, however, it is necessary to understand each component of this continuum individually.

The physical body is the end product of a combination of interdependant systems that operate with respect to some invisible architectural plan.  At the base level, atoms gather together in order to form molecules, which collect to form cells, then cell groups (tissue), and then organs.  Using these terms, the invisible architectural plan would be the spiritual influence and the end product would be the physical influence.  When these two systems are not in harmony then the individual will be in dis-ease.  Adjustment will be necessary in order to harmonize the condition.

Adjustment from the gross physical level would involve a wide range of procedures, starting with surgical removal of a diseased component.  A less invasive procedure might involve drug therapies, followed by dietary changes, chiropractic adjustments, massage and then energy healing techniques like Polarity Therapy and Reiki.  Each of these treatments involves a progressively increased reliance on adjustment to the energy system of the body.

Adjustment from the subtle spiritual level would involve a wide range of procedures as well, starting with having a firm understanding of the laws of nature such that the the physical body would be forced into alignment due to individual will power.  It is rare to have this level of awareness, and a more probable application would be one where prayer was applied from a point of unshakeable belief or faith.  Following this would be techniques of meditation which allowed the physical system to relax and awaken to the harmonic vibration of spirit.  And this would be followed again by Reiki and Polarity Therapy techniques.

Using these examples, it can be seen that Reiki and Polarity Therapy techniques can act as a bridge that connects the physical and spiritual components of self such that alignment or adjustment can be realized.

In line with this discussion, another set of dualistic components can be seen to overlay the paradigm of the physical/spiritual self.  The concept of the conscious/subconscious mind can be seen to follow the same continuum as the physical/spiritual self.  The conscious mind directs the voluntary nervous system, whereas the subconscious mind directs the involuntary (autonomic) nervous system.  Both are necessary for the proper integration of the whole, and using the terms discussed in this section, Polarity Therapy would be used to bring the conscious system into alignment while Reiki would work on the subconscious system.  The intuition is the bridge that connects the energy healing techniques of Polarity Therapy and Reiki.
