Whole-brain organization is actually a dynamic, continuously changing process. The whole human physiology (brain, eyes, ears, arms, etc.) reorganizes itself moment-by-moment to perform any specific task.
The Brain Organization Profile becomes a useful description of a person's experience of "How I learn." or "How I may behave when I am under undue pressure (either internal or external) to perform."
The Edu-K processes you learn in this workshop offer you the opportunity to switch on all sensory channels in order to access all modalities for more positive, healthy and integrated responses to those challenges.
The profiles described in this workshop are useful in clarifying learning blocks and suggesting possible integrative Brain Gym® activities that help to re-establish an optimal learning profile. The suggested Brain Gym® movements help to support the person's learning preference and facilitate full integrative processing for optimal learning even under stressful situations.
When integrated for whole-brain learning, people experience dramatic shifts in their functional style. Continued use of Brain Gym® strengthens ability of the two hemispheres to ideally correlate left and right visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic information.
The Brain Organization Profiles Workshop can help you understand and change these (and other) experiences:
· Negative attitudes/Lack of Motivation
· Frustration in learning
· Difficulty being "heard" by others
· Poor Memory
· Reading Difficulty
· Lazy eye
· Being "stuck" reading in the "Dick and Jane" mode
· Stuttering
Your Brain Organization Profile indicates your sensory and brain preferences and its implications for such activities as:
· Motivation
· Relating to people
· Sports skills
· Performance skills
· Counselling
· Other life activities
· Reading
· Math
· Writing
· Memory
