ENGAGING THE MOVEMENT OF LIFE(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Engaging the Movement of Life is an invitation to discover new
ways to experience health and embodiment. 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.
　　Moving 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, Engaging the Movement of Life is equally
useful for medical professionals, bodyworkers, exercise
enthusiasts, and spiritual seekers.

　　Praise for Engaging the Movement of Life
　　“Engaging the Movement of Life offers a revolution of thought and
purpose in the exploration of embodied health. Our fragmented
understanding of the human body dissolves in Bonnie Gintis’s much
broader view of our biological intelligence. This book could not be
more timely in providing us with a guide for health in the
twenty-first century.”
　　—Emilie Conrad, founder of Continuum and author of Life on
Land
　　“With accessible, evocative writing Bonnie Gintis interweaves the
potent discoveries of Continuum and Osteopathy to reveal complex
truths about the nature of life, health, the fluid dynamics of
creation, and especially how we can creatively participate with
them. Full of insights and practices, Engaging the Movement of Life
is a radiantly clear and sensuous call to deepen our embodiment,
daring us to inquire with innovative attention as we engage
life.”
　　—Susan Harper, international teacher of Continuum Movement and
creator of Em’oceans and Sensations Trainings
　　“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.”
　　—David Brown, founder of BodyRecoding, a Pilates/Gyrotonic
studio
　　In Engaging the Movement of Life, Bonnie Gintis offers Osteopaths
a special opportunity to experience Osteopathic principles at work
within ourselves rather than just within others. This is a rare
guide toward our own personal development, from within.”
　　—Nicholas Handoll, DO, MSCC, author of Anatomy of Potency
