(un)Wind It Up!

Cranial Unwinding allows the body to use its own natural way to unwind itself and the therapist helps the client move his/her body by following this movement.  While the body is in movement the mind replays thought processes that happened at the time of trauma and the client has a chance to rethink and put into perspective what thoughts are of current value for the here and now.  As the body unwinds itself it loosens the tissues and opens channels that allow the flow of fluid to move in areas that were too tight to benefit from the nourishment this fluid has to offer.  It then has a chance to flow through the body's tissues, spine and the cranium in a balanced way.  Loosening of the tissues also helps to free nerve endings, thus relieving the cause of pain.

No wonder I feel all sorts of fucked up after last night.
