Question 1

Disclaimer

Accepted Answer

I am not a medical doctor. I do not give medical advice. The focus of my work is to enhance health and well-being and, is intended for educational and informational purpose only. The somatic movement teaching that I offer can be used in adjunct to your overall integrative healing process. Always seek advice from your healthcare professional before starting any movement or exercise program to determine if it is right for you and to answer any questions you may have. If you engage in this movement or movement program, you agree that you do so at your own risk, are voluntarily participating in these activities, and assume all risk of injury to yourself.

Question 2

Why Continuum Meditation Movement?

Accepted Answer

First we need to admit, acknowledge, surrender to the fact that everyday we need to tend to our bodies, our emotions, stress, our inner being, or in other words our whole being. Some may think they have the body thing down by frantically exercising. However so much is being left behind. The same amount of time could easily be spent moving in an embodied state rather than exercising wildly and increasing cortisol levels. Together we can develop an ongoing experiential movement practice towards wellness.

Question 3

Meeting Together Online

Many have had enough Zoom meetings during the pandemic for this lifetime. But imagine having a designated sacred place in your home to calm yourself, listen deeply and focus inward to restore. Anytime. And, you don’t have to drive anywhere. Creating your meditation movement space in your home may encourage regular practice.

Question 4

Ahead of time please prepare your space

Accepted Answer

We begin sitting and then gradually will be lying down. People generally are on the floor with padding. You want a quiet comfortable space free of interruptions. Wear comfortable clothing. As we slow down you may want to add a layer of clothing.

• Have a pillow and/or folded blankets to sit on. Or, sit in a chair.

• People generally are on the floor with enough padding to be comfortable while moving which can include rolling side to side, etc. Padding can be carpets, foam pads, folded blankets, pillow tops for a bed, etc.

• You want a quiet, private space free of distractions and interruption.

• Consider the temperature as we slow down; you may want to add a layer of clothing.

• Laptops are on the floor or a chair.

• Using a desktop computer can work- let me know prior to the session.

Question 5

What can I expect in our session together?

Accepted Answer

For the most part we are engaged in a movement process that is gentle and contemplative. Moving with our eyes closed we enhance our awareness and ability to use all our senses in perceiving our internal and external environment. There is time at the beginning and at the end of the session for discussion

Question 6

What happens in a session?

Accepted Answer

Together we are able to create an environment of acceptance and protection with each other. This safe place allows us to soften and deepen into potent energy for a powerful shared movement experience. Even online this field of intentionality can be felt.

Question 7

What is the format of our session together?

Accepted Answer

We start with a general check-in and introduction. Instruction is given in a specific breath that we then practice together. Vocal sounding is added and again, we practice. Subtle motion is initiated through these practices. Gradually we deepen into an extended movement exploration. You may eventually sense your own internal fluidity in relation to being on the continuum of a larger resonance. Dwelling in this place deep regeneration can occur.
At the end we take time to discuss your experience. At first it may feel like a long time to be in your own self intuited movement exploration however most people eventually feel it’s not enough time.

Question 8

What prior experience do I need?

Accepted Answer

The movement we do together is slow and gentle. Sessions are designed for various movement abilities and experiences. You move at your own pace during the guided and then self-guided process. A curiosity and willingness to explore your intrinsic world is required.
