Just recently I have noticed the term 'integrated bodywork' is becoming more and more popular as many practitioners study different systems of bodywork and find that they use an amalgam of these different ways of working on the body and therefore no longer wish to be identified with only one mode of practice. It occurred to me that Polarity Therapy was one of the original forms of integrated bodywork drawing on the disciplines of osteopathy, chiropractic, zone therapy combined with eastern and western energy theories. Yet another example of Dr Stone being ahead of his time. It really is a shame that Polarity Therapy is not more widely practiced as it really does give you just about everything you need in order to become an accomplished practitioner of energy medicine and a skilled and effective bodyworker.

Just finishing off his training. Our first Polarity Therapy student from Portugal. Although there is not that much Polarity in Portugal, Pedro is hoping to change all that.

If you haven't already done so, take a look at the new Polarity Network site. It is now the ideal location for details of your workshops and Polarity news. Each month there will also be an article on an aspect of Polarity.

Well yesterday was Paddy's Day as it is often referred to here and we grabbed the dog and walked down to the town to watch the parade. There were pipe bands, antique tractors, custom cars, motor bikes, lots of children and most of the clubs and businesses in the town put in an appearance as well. 

Booking is now open for the International Polarity Education Alliance Gathering to be held in Dublin this September. There are presenters from the USA, Switzerland, UK and of course Ireland. This is the first of these events to be held in Europe and we hope to see many Polarity people there. Details at http://www.polarityeducation.org/gatherings/2013-in-ireland/

In keeping with the ever changing world of web design we have revamped our site. We don't just work on our own websites of course because as part of MWI Publishing we design websites for our authors as well as book covers, so if you know someone who wants a book cover designed or a website of whatever size tell them to get in touch. The design wing of MWI Publishing is www.mywizarddesign.com  Check it out.

The Eyes of Anaskwa by David Kala Ka La

This is a highly unusual story, fundamentally spiritual in nature, filled with reflections and observations on the ways of those on the path, and some of the ways of the earth and the universe in which we live. With echoes of Herman Hesse and Carlos Castaneda this is a mythic tale of reality told by a master story teller with quotes from ancient spiritual books that serve to both intrigue and illustrate the teachings within its pages.  Recommended

As we begin 2013 I find myself looking back over the last year. 2012 was a full year for us and we sensed an upsurge of energy as people started to pull themselves out of the doldrums of the economic recession. We were delighted to have students from Norway, Switzerland, Belgium,Sweden. the UK and of course Ireland coming to continue and in some cases finish their training with us.

The Snow Bear has been a power animal of mine for many years lending support and security and sure footedness especially in the Norwegian winters.

We wish you well and look forward to seeing many of you in the New Year. Morag & Phil
