Commonly, when we speak of the “body,” we refer to a defined boundary that features a head, two arms and legs, and encompasses a very specific locale. This description is necessary to know that I am feeding my mouth and not yours, which is basic to survival.

In Continuum, we recognize that the body is mutable, multi-functional and containing a process that is not defined by boundaries. What Continuum calls a “body” is movement -- a dance of cells, molecules and interpenetrating wave motions. All of these movements stabilize in order to function in the environment of planet earth. Beyond conventional functioning exist domains of an unfathomable fluid mystery. We could say that all has been forgotten of this legacy except for our primordial pulsating, undulating environment of blood, organs, membranes and connective tissue.

We are basically fluid beings who have arrived on land – moving water existing on earth - with all its transformative properties carried within.

Through Continuum’s practices and held values, we are relieved from our linear mechanical existences and from our hardened beliefs and limitations. Illness, aging and deterioration take on new possibilities when the experience of “body” is expanded and sustained by this inherent undulating wisdom.

We moderns, now separated from the ongoing living process of our planet, hunger to remember our true origins. Continuum provides an opening to the deepest, most satisfying nourishment, long sought after and rarely received.

Essential Elements Of Continuum:
Breath - All movement originates with breath. Fixations, compensatory patterns, family history, trauma and emotional stress are all maintained in the movement or inhibition of breath. By engaging with variations in breathing, we are able to stimulate a wide spectrum of internal sensations, responses and movements. Healing, growth and all mobility, whether physical, emotional or spiritual, are enhanced by the dexterity of breath.

Sound – Sound is audible breath, penetrating the density of locked tissue. It eases mobility while releasing areas of stagnation and stress. Specific sound frequencies engage various systems of the body. By coupling sound with movement, we increase the agility of both. Sounding further connects us with each other and to the resonant whole, providing another source for communication.

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 boundaries and amplifies sensation. Wave motion is the primary access to our bio-intelligence that is not bound by time, space or condition.

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.
