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.

Reviews/Endorsements:
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
