~Continuum Movement~
"Continuum is an extraordinary awakening to the fullness of what it means to be alive." ~Emilie Conrad
Continuum Movement uses sound and movement practices to increase communication within the entire system. It is beneficial for increased awareness, mobility and vitality. It helps to develop core strength, alignment and flexible power. It revitalizes bones, joints, and releases and relaxes the entire body. Using these therapies during a session involves the use of gentle vocalization, movement and hands-on contact.

"The Body can be seen as a resonating chamber, in which the play of breath becomes a kind of music. The versatility of breath invites ranges of new sensations, responses- new awarenesses develop, new relationships are formed...Breath enlivens our functioning, allowing MORE to exist."
~Emilie Conrad
The following are the writings of somatics pioneer Emilie Conrad (founder of Continuum Movement):
"Sound and movement practices make an art form of dissolving constraint, welcoming the liberation of the entire person at every level... [Continuum] is a process by which we can experience the interconnection of our own origins with the larger currents of all organismic life, beginning with the first cell and ultimately layered into the intricacies of human form... [There is] a vast communication network beginning within our own bodies... Continuum uses movement, the dexterity of breath, the resonance of sound, and the value of meaning to amplify and refine this far-reaching communication..."
"The health and vitality of any organism is in its ability to redefine its own structure. Rather than following a fixed system of postures or formalized exercises that maintain patterned structure without release, our explorations delve into the play of emerging and dissolving of form. This theater of life becomes the source of continuous well-being, wisdom and creative imagination."
"Cells thrive through communal resonance, creating a range of inclusion that increases their function and viability. Cellular resonance at the human level allows for a larger body in which a greater field carries the opportunity of restorative health."
"We are basically fluid beings that have arrived on land. All living processes owe their lineage to the movement of water. Our implicate pre-existent memory, beginning with the first cell, lies in the mysterious deep, quietly undulating, circulating, [that nourishes] this aquatic being... The fluid presence in our bodies is our fundamental environment; we are the moving water brought to land."
"Vocal sounds are used to stir the magnificent fluid that resides within our tissues. When awakened, the primary choreographer of our bio-sphere begins its remarkable dance as our bodies become glistening examples of timeless shifts... We learn that our spines are our "cosmic antennae" as we adventure through the miracle of undulating vertebral play.... our hands and feet reflect the nuanced array of unburdened movements, and we are now free to move among the many streams of what it means to be alive..."

Referencing continuum in a session...
During the context of a session, we can incorporate elements from continuum, for increased awareness, mobility and health in a particular area of the body. Delivering these therapies include use of gentle vocalization and hands-on contact. Please inquire if this is something you are interested in exploring.
