CFD Intro is a stand alone 2-day workshop that introduces people to a sophisticated model of practice. Based on cranial osteopathy and the more commonly known craniosacral therapy, CFD takes the practitioner into a specific non-verbal dialogue, using both kinesiology as a neuro-kinetic feedback tool, and hand modes (mudras) as a non verbal language. This facilitates within the client a deep understanding of the root causes of the disturbance of the craniosacral fluid system, which can bring about deep and profound inner transformation. In the course of this process, the entire system is directed towards a greatly expanded state not only of health and well being, but also of the much deeper roots that support maintenance of a more balanced state. Cranial Fluid Dynamics is a gentle, non invasive companion-like process. Using the broader template of InnerDialogue in conjunction with hands on interaction with the cranial fluid system itself allows for the release of deep seated patterns that hold the charge for these often human mediated stressors, resulting in a greatly expanded state of health, well being, and conscious awareness.

True dialogue is the mutual exchange of the logos in communication, providing an inner understanding as you palpate the different rhythms. Resolution imparts both inner and outer well-being, healing, motility and fluidity of the central nervous system. This work is a direct outcome of osteopathy in the cranial field, and craniosacral therapy, and has been developed and taught around the world over the past 30 years.

CFD is:

Cranial Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a new paradigm in therapeutics. Originally shaped and developed out of a background of osteopathy in the cranial field, Solihin Thom DO (UK) has taken this discipline into a new realm, by melding it with the art and science of kinesiology (a neurokinetic feedback system) and hand modes acting as a protolanguage and ‘voice’ for the client. The system allows for a precise dialogue to be heard from the client as to the underlying patterns or forces that alter the homeostasis of the fluid matrix of the body, undermining health and well being

.
Although CFD’s origins lie in osteopathic thought and philosophy, these original ideas have been developed over the years, changing the original maps or paradigm of the neuromusculoskeletal system as primary mover in the dynamic of the human body, into a more functional ontological model which looks at the whole organism as the sum of parts.

This major overhaul of the primary and fundamental understanding of root cause takes the mechanistic model of structural integrity and relegates it to an important but less primary role, by addressing the human as a whole system. The fundamental concept lies in understanding the human as a parallel entity – having a structural and cognitive life but also parallel to this, an inner life. Thus the model of structural integrity loses its primacy as we begin to realize that structural integrity actually is the display or voice to the many differing factors and their attendant force within the organism. These elements are rarely voiced in osteopathy and, if so, certainly not often heard. The work takes after the ancient model that encompasses many similar and apparently divergent religious, spiritual and philosophical ideas – one of emergence. Emergence infers the rising up of an organism out of its niche or realm. Ancient and modern philosophers see this emergence as continual. The human form houses content, and it is this content that needs to emerge and be given voice. Structural patterns of dysfunction lead to ill health, dis-ease and and poor management of stress. By listening to the many hidden aspects of the emergent human, we can hear the story underlying the breakdown of function, and address these patterns and forces with the client, allowing them to see the myriad factors that underlie and undermine their well being, as well as resources that they contain which support health.
To enable practitioners to do this, they are told and taught how to palpate the sub rhythms of the mechanism - taking the practitioner away from the classic entrainment of the cranial rhythm into the palpation of ‘what is’. That is, the various elements of this internal structure hold and manifest different forces, and manifest these as distinct albeit variable rhythms.
The work allows the practitioner to delve into a story that emerges, asking and receiving deep, detailed, precise information, of the site and nature of the aberrant force(s) that is held within the tissue that contribute to dysfunction. The practitioner learns how to be a companion in this process; to guide, accompany and ‘be’ with the client – and to be able to interpret the story, understand the elements and contain and hold the story at a palpatory level. It is this holding of the story: its field, power and ‘naming’ that ultimately changes the organism towards well being.
