Introduction to grooming

Your skin is folded and refolded millions of times.
Some folds are clearly visible, most are hard to see but you can find and feel them easily with your flat nails.
Grooming is the activity of unfolding your skin with your nails.

There are two ways to groom:

•Single finger grooming

•Four finger grooming

The folds crisscross your whole body in all directions and create a grid.
Some folds are vertical, some are horizontal while others are the result of all the movements, positions and expressions you have held during your life.
Your head is particularly folded.

Fold crossings

These folds are a problem by themselves, but things get worse where they meet; at the fold crossings.
The folding is deeper where the folds combine.
These intersections keep on growing all your life and are the source of most of your aches and pain.
Almost all the moles, pits, discolorations and problem spots you can find on your face and body are fold crossings.

Not grooming

Grooming is not optional.
You should have been grooming, about two hours a day, for all your life.
Your lack of grooming has greatly influenced the way you feel and look.
It creates several skin problems such as acne.
Most backaches, pain in the feet, knees, hips, neck, articulations, headaches...  are due to a lack of grooming.
As you age, the folding increases and causes several known illnesses and disabilities depending on its location.
Grooming also changes our comprehension of numerous issues relating to sensitivity, mobility, flexibility and health in general.

Ungroomed skin

Since you have never groomed, your skin is in very bad condition.
Grooming is a healing process, but it is long and slow.
When you nail finds a fold or a crossing, the skin below the nail produces a slight pleasure I have called “unpain” because it is the contrary of the pain that was there.
This feeling indicates that you are grooming at the right spot.
Practice on your hands, feet, arms, legs and head first.

Reversibility

Grooming has the amazing ability to restore your skin's healthy condition.
All the folds on your body can be unfolded.
Even the worst problems seem reversible.
