Aquateam Fasting Team
Why is it healthy to fast?
Fasting is healthy because illness is largely caused by an over abundance of toxins in our body. Aquateam builds further on the fast which is one of the oldest methods that mankind has used through thousands of years. Fasting is a fantastic tool, in that the body during the fast reaches a level where it repairs itself, both with regard to illness and aging. In fact, it doesn’t hurt us to go hungry once in a while. This condition is called “autolyse” where the body begins to live off itself, protein and fat, in particular.
Aquateam does not harm important tissue or vital organs. Glands, the nervous system, bones and the brain are not stressed.
Fasting
Fasting helps prevent many maladies and is a healthy yearly ritual. Through fasting it’s possible to achieve a heightened consciousness around the body and spirit and become more aware of what one consumes both mentally and physically. This heightened consciousness is crucial for one’s centering as a person and has wide-spread consequences for all aspects of life.
The intestinal system can finally rest so that it can completely detoxify down to the cell level. Other organs in the body can do this, too.
Results
The results you achieve by fasting are a total rejuvenation of the whole system and it helps to strengthen the immune system, hormone system and the nervous system.
Your senses become sharpened
Taste, smell, hearing, sight, and touch – all five senses are sharpened. Sight can be significantly improved because the liver, which influences sight, is cleansed. The liver is the last organ that is cleaned out. Great results can be achieved with especially longer fasts.
Muscles come into balance
Muscle tone is improved, beautiful and harmonic. The muscles come into balance. Poorly trained muscle and muscles that because of poor posture are poorly aligned become aligned during the process.
Metabolism is tuned
When the body’s metabolism is adjusted and comes into balance it’s possible to lose weight. If you are underweight, this adjustment means that you will be able to gain weight afterwards. Massage supports this process.
Digestion improves
Digestion will be relieved and at the end of the fast the intestinal system releases old sediment, which for some individuals can be up to 6 years old. For some people, the villi of the small intestines, which absorb nutrients from food, have been destroyed due to poor nutrition. After a fast, these villi will be significantly improved and it will be easier for the body to absorb nutrients from food.
Arthritis and skin problems
Arthritis and skin problems will either disappear completely or be significantly reduced as the kidneys, lungs, intestines and liver are cleaned out. If you are particularly bothered in these areas you can, if mentally prepared for a complete cleansing, go far.
Exercise
Fasting can help one to get started with exercise. The new diet gives the body much more energy. Body-sds training forms are especially unique in reaching various goals with the body. Cufei, our basic training, gives you the possibility to treat yourself in the start and end phases of the fast. Afterwards, Cufei can help you maintain the open places in your body and regenerate the places which have not been functioning optimally.
Mental
When waste toxins in the tissue are released and eliminated, the body’s cells are better able to absorb nutrients and oxygen thereby improving your ability to think logically and clearly.
Physical
The exercise that the muscles get during the massage process is equivalent to running a marathon. During a 4-day fast the cleansing process is equivalent to what one would normally get with a 16-day fast. Already on the first massage day, Aquateam ensures that the body begins the process of autolysis. This means that the body begins to break down and destroy sick or injured cells and tissue – in short, the body begins to live off its own deposits – deposits that have no value for the organism such as impurities, dead cells accumulation, substandard components, crystals, fat and waste materials.
Emotional
Along with the actual physical cleansing fasting enables a great emotional release process. The body’s consciousness can let go and cleanse itself thereby realizing an intensive self-awareness and insight – in other words, the stress of life can change and this gives a greater overview, contact and openness around oneself and one’s surroundings.
Greater Body Awareness
During the fast you will discover places in your body which have gone unnoticed before, or your subconscious has suppressed. Aquateam will support your self-development here by creating awareness and contact to your inner values and help free your inhibitions. Over the years fasting has long been recognized as a tool to help reach a higher spiritual consciousness and is recommended by many enlightened persons around the world.
Personal development
Individually you will be more aware of your own needs and become better at knowing your own limits. You will have the possibility to focus on your habits and patterns. If any of these are not optimal you will be able to change them. Your quality of life will improve through your increased self-confidence; you will have more energy, and pleasure in your daily life –all of which will help you to take responsibility for your own life.
Aquateam process
The fast takes place over 4 days. The first day of fasting is done on your own. The next 3 fast days take place as part of an intensive massage process with a specially selected Team Body-sds therapist. The second and third day of fasting are the longest – around 7 hours of intensive massage and the last day of the fast is around 3-4 hours. Please be aware that there can be delays!
You are responsible for the remaining fasting days. Remember that you need rest and relaxation because your body is tired. Activities such as walking or light working are possible.
Many foods must be avoided ten days before the fast and ten days after the fast. These two periods are very important and are called decreasing and increasing.
During the decreasing and increasing stages you should avoid consuming the following: sugar, raw sugar, syrup, honey, milk products (cheese, butter, etc.), yeast, meat, eggs, white flour, coffee, tea, fruit juice, tobacco, alcohol, frying in oil (you can use water), potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, spices and salt (though you may have salt in small quantities).
There is no reason to worry; there are many other things you can eat: vegetables, rice, beans, lentils and many other lovely things like nuts, kernels, berries and fruit in small portions. During the 4 fasting days you may consume water, special vegetable juices and teas.
Is fasting dangerous?
A Body-sds fast is built up in such a way that if you follow the directions and recommendations from the therapist during the entire process the body will not be overly burdened.
Who needs another approach to fasting?
Children, pregnant and nursing women, emotionally troubled individuals, elderly, diabetics, individuals suffering from acute infection, goiter patients, cancer patients, heart and cardiovascular patients, those individuals taking strong medication, and AIDS patients. If you have any of the conditions listed above, the Aquateam program can be used as a cleansing process for you but with another approach. Please contact us for more information.
Aquateam massage?
Aquateam is a unique massage and treatment form which must be carried out under the supervision of a specially selected Team Body-sds therapist who has been trained as part of the Body Self Development System continuing education.
In the late 1980’s, the founder of Body Self Development System, Bengt Valentino Andersen, developed the various forms of Aquateam massage specifically for use during fasting. Massage is a tool that affects the entire body, where all the body’s energy systems are a part of each other. Massage is very deep and intensive and is recommended only during fasting because it reaches deep into the bone tissue.
Many people choose Aquateam as part of a yearly ritual; others choose Aquateam every other year. We have trained new therapists and Body Self Development System can offer Aquateam all year round.
