Chart No. 12
[See Book 3, Chart 12]
A graphic description is given here of the sphenoid bone as the positive pole of the coccyx, the sphenoid being located superiorly and mostly anterior while the coccyx is the inferior and posterior extremity of the spine. Opposite polarity and corresponding relationships exist between them.
In physiology, the ganglion of impar is located anteriorly to the coccyx and the superior pole is in the ganglion of Ribes' in the brain. Many surprising beneficial polarity reflexes can be elicited here. The sensory, soft tissue reflexes are used to good advantage in the Perineal Technique, especially in emotional cases and in pain due to pregnancy, as is explained in detail in books I[1] and II[2].
Neck tension also has its polarity reflex in the soft tissue of the perineum, on either side and below the coccyx, and can be released there. (For coccyx treatment, please refer to chart No. 19 in book II, also perineal treatment charts No. 30 and 31 in book II.)
This polarity combination represents the densest force of vital concentration in the negative pole below and the more rarified life energy of 'Prana' above, in the neck and in the front of the skull, as the positive fields of sensation.
The anterior sphincter has its polarity reflex in the throat. The polarity reflex of dryness, cough and tickling in the throat, when not due to cold, is found in the rectal sphincter. The tightness in the anterior portion of the sphincter muscles is a negative factor of the irritation in the throat and has its positive polarity reflex in the swallowing mechanism. The anterior portion of the throat reflexes to the anterior portion of the sphincter ani, and the posterior portion of the neck to the posterior portion of the sphincter ani. A band of tight muscles under the jaw, as well as the watery eyes in such conditions, are the associated positive polarity reflexes to the throat. The septum of the nose and the nasopharynx have spots of irritation which need to be treated and polarized for best results in such conditions.
The rectal sphincters and the gullet respond to each other as positive and negative areas. The functions of deglutition [swallowing] and defecation are oppoiste [opposite] factors as positive intake and negative expulsion. The relationship is clear without further elucidation.
TREATMENT: An external contact is made on the tight sphincter ani, anteriorly, first on one side and then on the other, and gently lifted superiorly and posteriorly. The contact is held until relaxation begins. One minute is sufficient for the contact. Then rest and repeat the same as in Perineal Technique. It may be well to repeat that one does not enter the orifice in giving this treatment, as the most sensitive fibers are external, in the skin. Rectal dilation is sometimes indicated and when that is necessary, it should be done with gloved and well-lubricated fingers, and not with harsh instruments.
For Polarity contact in giving the Perineal Treatment, also contact the tight muscle under the jaw, superiorly, above the point of irritation, and hold it for the same length of time with the other hand. (See detailed description of Perineal Technique in book I[1] and chart No. 30 in book II for the release of sensory blocks. For congestion and lumps on the side of the coccyx, see Fig. 3 of chart No. 19 in book II, which illustrates the contacts to be used in Polarity Therapy.)
