Water is the foundation of our world, the source of all existence.  It connects all living things to each other.  Early sea creatures were the original carriers of water.  When some moved to the land, they had to find a way to carry the water forward into a new medium. One of water’s gifts is how it innately takes the form of its container, and the evolving creatures learned to use water to change form.

Embryos are water beings, almost ninety percent water, and the embryo’s DNA is highly influenced by its environment. Waves of communication connect the fetus with its parents. So the fetus is feeling whatever is going on for its parents as strongly as it feels what is going on in utero.  These early imprints begin to shape sensory and motor development, as well as social skills and relationship patterns.

Most of us don’t inhabit our fluid very well, mainly because we have been taught to ignore our bodies.  By plunging into an exploration of the water within us, we have the opportunity to write ourselves a new creation story, to create a new birth-death-birth cycle for ourselves. Why?  To deepen our meaning of life.  By learning about our fluid bodies, we can receive highly enriching fundamental nourishment while gaining access to a heightened state of sensation and pleasure.

Because we are water beings, the fluid body is one of our most potent medicines. One of the keys to personal evolution is being able to connect with and enhance our fluid potency.  Once we accomplish this, we can begin to understand an amazing choice each of us is offered – the option of moving beyond our own histories and stories.

Continuum Movement, an incredible healing practice that helps us connect to our own medicine, was invented by Emilie Conrad, a visionary pioneer in the field of somatics.  Her groundbreaking work was born as she helped people with spinal cord injuries and other forms of paralysis to regain movement.  Emilie is a master, assisting people to regain freedom of movement, teaching them to inquire into their fluid bodies with different sequences of sound, breath and spiral movement.  Professionals from diverse fields including Rolfing, Zero Balancing, Hellerwork, Craniosacral, osteopathy, and physical therapy all integrate Continuum into their practices.
