Recognizing the body as mutable, multi-functional and fluid, Continuum calls a “body” movement, a dance of cells, wave motion, undulation . . .
We are basically fluid beings who have arrived on land - moving water on earth. Transformation carried within - the power of healing waters . . .
Continuum Movement practice softens hard beliefs and limitations in both body and mind. Our current culture is trying very hard to separate the body from the mind, but this is not possible!
Illness, aging and deterioration take on new possibilities when the experience of body is expanded and sustained by this inherent undulating wisdom . . .
Essential Elements of
Continuum Movement
Breath
All movement originates from
breath. Fixations, compensatory patterns, family
history, trauma, and emotional stress are
maintained in the movement or inhibition of
breath. In Continuum practice, we are able to
stimulate a wide spectrum of internal sensations,
responses and movements through different
breathing explorations, this provides a climate
for healing, growth, and multi-mobility creating
much more dexterity of breath.
Sound
Sound is audible breath, penetrating the density of locked tissue. It eases mobility while releasing areas of stagnation and stress. In a Continuum practice, specific sound frequencies engage various systems of the body. By coupling sound with movement, we increase the agility of both.
Movement
Continuum’s movements are designed specifically to enhance the undulating spirals and circularity of the fluid system. A full range of non-patterned movement, from dynamic full-bodied expression to subtle micro-movements, stimulates neurological growth and vibrancy. Undulating wave motion permeates tissue, softens boundries and amplifies sensation.
Sensation and Pleasure
In Continuum we use sensation as a guide for awakening the body’s mysteries and the activating principle of the life force that feeds and nurtures the entire system. Sensations of pleasure create an inviting climate for self-renewal.
