Chart No. 7
[See Book 3, Chart 7]
The illustration given here is of the FIERY principle [Yang1] as it functions in the human body.
The superior pole is manifested in the light of the eyes and descends over the region of the heart and chest as respiration and the fiery warmth in the blood, to supply every cell of the body. It crosses over in the abdomen in the region of the umbilicus, where it becomes the fire of digestion in the splanchnic [intestinal] area and in the solar plexus. It centers especially in the duodenum as an emotional seat of the fire principle [Yang1]; also in the gall bladder and duct as the organ of anger, jealousy, envy, hatred and bitterness. Its third function is action and motion which are expressed through the skill of the hands in the neuter [neutral] pole and as running through the action of the thighs. The thighs express this definitely in the motor field as the negative pole. When a horse runs away, if his eyes are covered by the hands of the rider, he will stop at once. These psychological qualities were expressed as planetary characteristics in alchemical writings because truth had to be veiled. Planets also radiate energy waves as their keynote of action.
In headaches, in hemicrania and when there is the pulling and straining sensation in the eyes, even with glasses, as if they were being drawn out of the head, it is the fiery circuit which is disturbed. The head symptoms are but reflexes from the neuter [neutral] pole of the gall bladder and the duodenum, where the real trouble is located. Emotional stress is the hidden background of these recurring symptoms. This is verified by gas pains, abdominal cramps and indigestion symptoms. Belching is a sure sign of it, when enough action is present to get this symptomatic relief by moving the accumulated gases.
In such cases everything goes to gas because there is not enough of the fiery power present to carry on the complete process of digestion. Foods may even remain in the stomach, undigested, for days. Even skillful and careful work over the liver area, anteriorly and posteriorly, does not release the cause of it; but it does help to being up the gases and relieve the head of gas pressure through belching.
By experience and diligent research I have found that the liver and stomach are not so much at fault here as it seems. They only lack motive power to do their work because the emotions have diverted the energy. The real block is in this fiery element which is stuck in the gall bladder and the duodenum, into which the common bile duct empties. Abdominal work helps but does not get the quick nor lasting reaction as does the POLARITY REFLEX from the negative pole. In this case it is the negative pole that is blocked, which does not allow this current to return in its circuitous sweep from top to bottom and back again. The exact spot is the first joint of the second toe, near the big toe on each foot.
This reflex area is entirely new in its application as a specific for these symptoms and for obtaining immediate relief. The POLARITY area is different from the actual liver and digestive one, which is usually the second finger and the third toe for the liver, stomach, colon and digestion in general. Here, it is the fire element [Yang1], in its active natural response, located nearer to the middle line of the body.
Each one of the four polarized elements has a positive pole, a neuter [neutral] pole and a negative pole. Therefore, all action is triune. Whenever they move, or wherever these fields are, they must be related to each other by POLARITY FUNCTION AND CURRENT FLOW to obtain best results.
Chemistry also works through Polarity attraction and repulsion in each field in the body, by

1 To alleviate confusion between the Three Principles (Fire, Water and Air) and the Five Elements (Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth), many Polarity practitioners refer to Dr. Stone's "Fiery Principle" as "Yang," his "Watery Principle" as "Yin," and his "Airy Principle as "Neutral" or "Tao." See The Three Principles and Five Elements for more information.
