In 40 years, I have found that many people are tight and toxic. In my world of health and well-being, an essential goal is to become as loose and clean as possible.
We live with our unresolved emotional and physical traumas after conception in our space-time continuum. Our body adapts and compensates which can compromise our function in aging. CFT helps to free us of these traumas. When exercising, we do not want to create additional strain to our craniosacral fascial system. We want to be loose to function optimally.
We live in a toxic world. We strive to have the cleanest air, water and food. We want to digest, metabolize and eliminate our food as well as possible. We generally want to keep our internal bodily fluids alkaline with generous portions of vegetables and fruits. We want to avoid sugar, added chemicals, refined and processed food. We want to eat organic, whenever possible. We want to find the dietary sweet spot that works specifically for our body. We want to avoid toxic relationships. We want to be as clean as possible to function optimally.
CFT is most effective with newborns who are just tight from their birth trauma. Even though they may have acquired some toxins from their mother, most are relatively clean. People become tighter and more toxic with aging. The healing process becomes longer. In old age, some people require walking aids, and their bodies start to shut down because of toxicity. In some CFT sessions, patients may start to cleanse their body, which will help them become looser and cleaner.
