A few days ago I posted about how I intended to explore this somatic movement modality called “Continum.” Today I took my first class and I feel really amazing. I will have to continue to do it every week for a while to talk more definitively about it, but basically I am a little surprised at how good I feel.
I guess I would describe Continum as the idea that your body has an ancient, primal biological history that took place in the water until one day we crawled out onto land as a quadraped and then took our first breath. So the practice consists of using sound that is vocalized in such a way as to vibrate the sphenoid bone in your skull and loosen it, so that you get out of your head and can access the your body’s biological wisdom through slow, primal movements that mimick the undulations and motions of both an ancient quadraped and an aquatic creature.
At first it seemed ridiculous, until I began to feel the same way as I would feel after a Neuro-Cranial Restructuring (NCR) session:
Seriously, the somatic after-effects were rather stunning, and the more integrated and naturally your body moves, the less you have to take saw palmetto.
