Brain gym helps stimulate learning through movement.
Each hemisphere of the brain, and the different areas within each
hemisphere is
responsible for various functions of the body and mind, for example:
auditory, visual,
communication, creativity, reasoning, co-ordination and movement
etc. When we
(especially children) are put under stress or find something difficult,
part of the brain
that has to do with that stress 'switches off' and the task becomes
even more difficult and
frustrating.
Years of research has shown that specific movements can 'switch
on' various parts of the
brain and learning and co-ordination can become easier again; literally
a few minutes of
certain exercises can make a huge difference to the tasks we want
to do well in, whether
it is in academia, sport, emotional or behavioural problems, concentration,
communication, business et cetera. It is important that the two
hemispheres of the brain
work together.
All age ranges can benefit, especially children.
Brain gym can help:
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT - DYSLEXIA - DYSPRAXIA -
CREATIVITY BLOCKS - A.D.D
EMOTIONAL ISSUES - A. D. H. D -
STRESS - OTHER LEARNING DIFFICULTIES
Sports facilities, schools (including higher education faculties),
and businesses can all be
enhanced by using the brain gym system.
