If you ever tried a healing modality—nutrition, energy work, homeopathy, or bodywork—and felt like it just didn’t take or maybe it just didn’t “stick”, there may be something else to do first. The problem may not be the method or the practitioner. It may be that your body wasn’t in the right state to receive healing in the first place.
That’s why, in holistic and energy-based healing systems, we always start with two foundational checks: polarity and switching.
Part 2
What Is Switching?
Switching is a term used to describe neurological confusion—a disconnect between your brain and your body. When you’re “switched,” your nervous system scrambles incoming information. The Sympathetic and Parasympathetic systems become switched. The sympathetic system is your fight/flight response, and the parasympathetic system is the rest/digest system. If you are switched, many systems can become disrupted.
This can manifest as:
- Brain fog
- Difficulty concentrating
- Emotional instability
- Trouble integrating healing treatments
- Insomnia
- Digestion difficulties
- Inability to address the most current symptoms
Switching can be triggered by stress, trauma, toxicity, foods, pathogens, or exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). When this occurs, healing signals either don’t reach the right places or are completely misinterpreted.
How Are These Issues Identified and Corrected?
In holistic practices like Applied Kinesiology, Energy Medicine, and Homeopathy, polarity and switching are gently tested using:
- Muscle response testing using Applied Kinesiology points
- Observation of subtle energy patterns
- Meridian testing
Corrections are simple and non-invasive. They may include:
- Light tapping on acupressure or reflex points
- Holding certain energetic contact points
- Using homeopathic remedies or essences
- Releasing emotions stuck in the body
- Realigning fields with magnets or intention-based work
Most clients feel a noticeable shift in clarity, being grounded, and energy flow immediately after correction.
Start from a Place of Alignment
Healing is a process, but it must begin from a place of internal alignment. Without a solid energetic foundation, even the most powerful remedies and techniques can fall flat.
That’s why checking polarity and switching is always the first step. It opens the door for your body to truly receive, integrate, and sustain healing on every level.
