THE CRADLE OF THE COSMOS
Watsu, Tantsu and ContinuumFabrizio Dalle PianeMy initial attraction to the practices of Watsu and Tantsu was,and continues to be, the nurturing power of the cradle, unique tothese practices of bodywork.In this kind of bodywork the resonance shared between thehearts of both giver and receiver create a realized awareness ofa larger field of energy that manifests itself in many differentways and can be lived in a unio-mystica with Existence.In the practice of Continuum Movement, I experience theresonance of the cosmos; the manifestation of the movement oflife within my tissues and the infinite network of inter-galacticcommunication.Having been able to explore both possibilities, I have becomeaware that the connection between the practices ofWatsu/Tantsu and Continuum dwells in the mystery of the water.Water is a physical manifestation of the spiritWe are sparkling pulsating star-selves carried to planet Earththrough the vehicle of water.If there would not be water on this planet there would not belife.Most astrophysicists agree that chemically we are composed of
 
the same elements as the stars. But in order to manifest theoriginal essence of life into form, we have used the medium ofwater.The evolutionary process of our planet began with simplemicroscopic forms in warm, ancient seas. As we continue toevolve, we carry the codes and memories of our oceanic origin toland within the tissues of our body.Evolving to living on land has required an ongoing and ever-changing relationship with gravity. Although this earthly pull mayrender temporary amnesia of our bio-cosmic origin, the source isconstantly pulsating and resonating within us, as in the galaxies.The process of re-membering our bio-cosmic oceanic origin hasbeen at the core of all the spiritual traditions.By immersing ourselves in water, we can perceive this cosmicresonance within our fluid system and bring back on land ourundulating origins.With this awareness, we can forever explore the Eternal Returnof the continuum of life. The development of every cell, as in the embryo, resonate themovement of the galaxy.Within this motion we are connected with a bio-cosmic cradlethat contains infinite possibility of life.In the womb, like in the cosmos, we are nurtured by a field thatis electromagnetic and watery at the same time
 
Scientists have discovered a potential quantum of energy in ourbody called "scalar energy" It dwells in the space between thecells and in the fluid system.This scalar space of pure potential can be explored in thepractice of Watsu Tantsu and Continuum. This is a place whereall the movement of life began and continues to manifest.The Connection between the PracticesIn Watsu and Tantsu, we begin by connecting with the breath andbecoming aware of the empty space at end of the out breath. Allaction initiates here, at the bottom of the breath. We use thenurturing containment of the cradle to contact the oneness oflife and we allow our bio-cosmic intelligence to manifest naturally.In Continuum Movement, we use breath and sound to activate thisfield of energy.
 
These signals of sound, breath or contact initiate wave motionsthat flow through the watery substances of the body, softeningour defenses and arousing the life force in the matrix of everytissue, bone and cell.Our body can be viewed as a dance of cells, molecules andinterpenetrating vibrational wave motions.By amplifying this wave motion through cradling, touch andmovement, we resonate as a fluid, vital whole.Zen Shiatsu master Masunaga said:
