Product Description
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.

Deepening Into Embodiment June 19, 2007
Kathryn (Scotts Valley, CA USA)
20 out of 21 found this review helpful
This beautifully-written book is valuable for readers from a very wide variety of perspectives, disciplines, interests, questions, and concerns, both personal and professional.
For me, the primary value is twofold:
1) the paradigm shifts available from the metaperspective that represents Bonnie's unique synthesis of Continuum, Osteopathy, and her own rich and varied life experience. This metaperspective emphasizing fluidity, de-habitualization, open-focus exploration, and trust in organic unfoldment is the connective tissue that links together the diverse topics explored in the individual chapters.
2) the insights and openings that come to me from reading a single sentence, paragraph, or page and then letting her words resonate and reverberate throughout the course of a day to see what new intuitive and experiential connections emerge.
A Grounded Vision June 19, 2007

As a computer systems architect and engineer with a strong knowledge base in the sciences, I tend to find most books that attempt to deal with metaphysical or esoteric topics shallow, inaccurate, and annoying.
What a pleasure, by contrast, to read Dr.Gintis's excellent, knowledgeable, and grounded vision of the continuum of body-mind-spirit!
Also, by contrast to the dry academic tomes with which I am all too familiar, this is a book that allows me to participate in the author's life, vision, and healing process. I find that reading it stimulates me, not only to new thoughts, but also to new ways of experiencing my embodiedness.
For all people involved in health and healing May 5, 2009

This book of Bonnie Gintis is very well written.It brings us a unique mix of insigts from osteopathy, continuum movement, embryology and physiology. It helps us explore our "inner wilderness" (Bonnie's word). A vast territory with uncanny healing potential. I just followed a workshop of Bonnie and it has done wonders for my health. Thank you, Bonnie.
Highly recommended!!
