Osteopathic physician and Continuum Movement teacher Bonnie Gintis offers an approach that encompasses fluid movement, open attention, and awareness of sensation and breath as empowering practices to enrich all aspects of life. She presents a philosophy in which the body is a portal to “something greater”—an opportunity to join a grand experiment in deepening consciousness and connectedness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoving fluidly increases our vitality, just as water in the natural world is vitalized by flowing freely. Chronicling a path that encompasses views of body, mind, and spirit as a self-healing intercommunicating whole, \u003ci\u003eEngaging the Movement of Life\u003c\/i\u003e is equally useful for medical professionals, bodyworkers, exercise enthusiasts, and spiritual seekers.Praise for\u003ci\u003e Engaging the Movement of Life \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Engaging the Movement of Life \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a revolution of thought and purpose in the exploration of embodied health.

Full of insights and practices, \u003ci\u003eEngaging the Movement of Life \u003c\/i\u003eis a radiantly clear and sensuous call to deepen our embodiment, daring us to inquire with innovative attention as we engage life.”\u003cbr\u003e—Susan Harper, international teacher of Continuum Movement and creator of \u003ci\u003eEm’oceans and Sensations\u003c\/i\u003e Trainings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Bonnie Gintis straddles the seemingly different worlds of intuitive body truths and information from the scientific point of view. She provides tools and suggests ways of looking, feeling, knowing, and thinking that are the currency of those of us involved in the world of the body. Gintis’s message that everything is interdependent and mutable is a ray of both hope and clarity. With Continuum as the medium, she gives us both the permission and the keys to begin a lifelong journey of independent exploration of our bodies.” \u003cbr\u003e—David Brown, founder of BodyRecoding, a Pilates\/Gyrotonic studio \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eEngaging the Movement of Life, \u003c\/i\u003eBonnie Gintis offers Osteopaths a special opportunity to experience Osteopathic principles at work within ourselves rather than just within others.
