Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I have palpitations and tachycardia. ---------------------------- As info, there is a specific release pattern in Polarity Therapy called the Cardiac Regulator that is used for irregular heart rates because it affects the heart's rate and rhythm. I have not used it personally, other than learning how in class, but my instructor has. She has gotten very good results with clients with palpitations. She has not specifically used it for tachycardia but feels it should work for that as well since the release basically helps adjust the heart rhythm back to normal. There are three specific points that are held and a " line " over the top of the head that is massaged and held. The three points are on the sternum, between the ribs, and under the diaphragm. Find your collar bone. The first rib is beneath the collar bone. Start with it as " one " and count down to the fourth and fifth ribs. The sternum point is in the middle of the sternum, at a level between the 4th and 5th ribs. The rib point is between the 4th and 5th ribs on the left, right over the heart (about a thumb's width away from the edge of the sternum). The diaphragm point is just to the left of the of the bottom of the sternum, up under the ribs on the left side. The " line " on the head is a bit more difficult to describe because there aren't any bony landmarks associated with it. Start with a point at the base of the skull, right at the bottom of the ear lobe. Visualize a line back to the base of the skull, parallel to the floor. Then visualize a line straight to the top of the head from the bottom of the ear. With this 90 degree angle in mind, cut it in half. The Cardiac Stability Line runs from the bottom of the one ear, up and over on that 45 degree line to the bottom of the opposite ear. The release pattern has three steps. Step 1: With the thumb of your right hand, gently contact the sternum point. With the index finger of your left hand, gently massage the entire Cardiac Stability Line from one ear to the other. After massaging the entire line, rest your whole left hand on the line and hold for a " balance. " Step 2: Move your right thumb to the rib point and put your left palm and finger tips along the Cardiac Stability Line, first on one side of the head and then on the other. Hold for a balance on each side. Step 3: Put your right thumb on the diaphragm point and push up and under the rib cage. Leave your left hand gently on the cardiac stability line and hold for a balance, first one side and then the other. When I say " hold for a balance " I am referring to an energetic balance so the sensations feel the same between your two hands. The sensations are subtle but might feel like pulses or waves. They will feel different from the blood pulse or breathing. You also need to do it with a grounded, relaxed frame of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
