APPLICATION OF ENERGY FLOW IN THE BODY
THE CADUCEUS
The caduceus includes:
-
a pole topped with a pommel at the bottom of which are attached two wings,
-
two snakes surround the pole and intertwine in four places,
-
their heads look at each other just below the wings. According to Stone, the two wings represent the two hemispheres of the brain and,
-
the pommel, the pineal gland.
-
the pole represents the central canal, the neutral mental principle called Sushumna through which passes the breath of life, the Prana.
-
The two serpents symbolize the mental principle in its duality.
-
On the left side of the body, flows the energy of the moon, along the parasympathetic nervous system: named, "Yin" by Chinese medicine, "Ida" by Hindu medicine (Ayurveda) and "Water" element in Polarity Therapy , electromagnetic principle of negative charge.
-
On the right side of the body, the energy of the sun flows, along the sympathetic nervous system: named, "Yang" by Chinese medicine, "Pingala" by Hindu medicine (Ayurveda) and element "Air" in Polarity Therapy, electromagnetic principle of positive charge.
Note: See the energy section for more on electromagnetics.
These two positive and negative principles, Stone explains, produce alternating current when they intersect. These two principles feed, like a power station, the various functions of the body. They are represented by intersecting threads on the human skeleton. At each place where there is contact, plexuses (Chakras) are formed:
-
The tails of snakes take as their starting point the coccyx and form the coccygeal plexus.
-
The snakes then intertwine at the level of the sacrum, which gives the sacral plexus,
-
then to the navel to form the solar or visceral plexus,
-
unite at the level of the heart to form the cardiac plexus and,
-
they intersect higher at the neck to form the cervical plexus.
-
The heads of the two serpents look at each other at eye level, which would be, mental energy descending into matter and,
-
of its course in the physical body in two opposite currents of energy and composed of the four natural qualities which are Fire, Air, Water and Earth.

ASTROLOGY IN THE HUMAN BODY
Stone explains that everything in the physical or mental universe has a positive aspect, a negative aspect and a neutral aspect. Thus the four elements of Fire, Air, Water and Earth, in their triple action of positive, neutral and negative, become three times four, twelve equal signs or principles of functioning of these elements in the body. , according to the signs of the Zodiac:
Earth: Capricorn (N), Taurus (+), Virgo (-)
Water: Cancer (N), Scorpio (+), Pisces (-)
Fire: Aries (N), Leo (+), Sagittarius (-)
Air: Libra (N), Gemini (+), Aquarius (-)
THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL STRENGTH
The fifth element is Ether, luminous and limpid consciousness;
the essence individualized in the form of Soul, principle (+).
The Spirit (mind), principle (N), allows, through the senses, the contact of the Soul with the body.
The physical body is the principle (-).
For Stone, the Soul, as a unit, is a source of inner energy that can be called, Individual Essence. This source responds to the same function, that of feeding matter with its energy. Matter (physical body), is located opposite this source. Between the two, there is the mental world (Spirit). We can therefore say that the individual Essence and the body are two opposites which share their nature with the mind. Mental well-being, like physical well-being, is linked to the polarity of the energies that come together. For the Soul (individual Essence) is the positive principle which naturally guides the thoughts and actions of the Being. It allows a clear consciousness and maintains it in the reality of impermanence.
When the Spirit is linked to the Soul, it is then impregnated with Ether and under the influence of its vibrational aspect, its functions, ideals, principles, moral values and trained in right thinking, good hygiene of life. Then the Spirit clears, in turn permeates the senses with consciousness, it maintains its will and keeps control over its objectives. Gratitude, healthy interest in surpassing oneself, the need to share one's inner richness and actions motivated by a collective conscience are great stabilizers of the spirit.
Otherwise, when the body becomes the dominant principle, the dispositions of the mind change. Thoughts, no longer guided by the Soul, become chaotic. The veiled consciousness is maintained in the illusion of permanence, the mind then loses control and prioritizes attachment to the pleasures of matter. Interest in the service of the individual are great disturbances of the mind, generating perpetual disappointment, a feeling of separation and the absence of happiness.
THE BREATH OF LIFE
Prana, a word which in Sanskrit means “breath or vital principle” is the principle of life in the air and the blood. Without it, Stone argues, no life in the physical world would be possible. Its absence leads to death. Prana is everywhere. We extract it and transform it in the air we breathe, in the water and the food we eat. Fresh, unprocessed foods contain more prana.
Among the characteristics of prana, we must remember that it cannot be stored, that it provides the body with its youth and its flexibility, and finally, that its absence causes death. Prana is the link and medium between mind and body, just as mind is the link and medium between soul and matter, just as oxygen is the chemical carrier of prana._cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_
The individual has five sensory organs and five organs of action through which he expresses himself. Each sensory organ is linked to an action organ, vice versa. It is a dynamic link that guarantees the balance of the physiological system of the body. Stone speaks here of a system of compensation between the sensory organs and those of action:
1) The ear is related to the power of the voice and the principle of sound
2) The eyes, as an organ of sight, correspond to the thighs which are used for running. “We couldn't run if he couldn't see where he was going. The eyes are the lights to the path and to the skill of the hands.”
3) The organ of touch has its seat in the heart. The corresponding compensating organ is the sense of touch found mainly on the skin and in particular on the fingertips. “All skill and all art has its roots here in the principle of Air, which is akin to the Prana residing there, and flows through the heart.”
4) The nose and the sense of smell correspond to intestinal elimination. "It has its roots in the Earth element, in the decomposition of compound elements."
5) The tongue and the sense of taste find their motor expression in the act of sensuality. This correspondence is also related to the water element and emotion.
We clearly see here the importance of the vital principle (prana) that we find at the base of all of Stone's arguments. He often compares this vital principle to an electric current with its positive, negative and neutral poles. The human body, Stone explains, is made up of magnetic attraction fields at the front of the body and propulsion fields at the back of the body. This is why all the organs of perception are located in the front of the body and the back of the body has strong muscles used for propulsion, pushing, expulsion and repulsion._cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_
By eliminating the physical symptoms, the real cause of the disease is masked. It is better to try to restore the polarity of the energy fields in order to restore health while using the symptoms as a barometer. “So the real object of all treatment is to balance the energies and release excess surface tension on any System, so that the center can radiate again and the energy can flow to where it is intended. »
