participant comments:
- "I went to Jeanine for a hearing tune-up. Music is
important to me, and I had noticed I wasn’t hearing optimally. We did a
thirty-minute Brain Gym balance, and I could feel a definite shift
during the session. The next day I was out talking with a friend, and I
heard the far off sound of a train honking. The train was miles away,
but it sounded very close, and that was different. Also, I felt a lot
of pleasure in the beauty of the sound. This balance took place five
months ago, and the results are
holding permanently. Jeanine
is a caring and gifted healer who uses advanced techniques that make
miracles easy." --A. J. October, 2006
- "Throughout my life I had been nervous, especially in
social situations where everyone was new to me. I had plans to go to a
three-day conference with hundreds of people where I didn't know any of
them. On top of that, I earnestly wanted to talk with some of the
speakers. As I prepared for the event, I was nervous to the point of
shaking. My Brain Gym
balance for 'I easily maintain serenity and confidence in new
situations' was a life changing experience! I went to the
conference and had a fantastic time, meeting many new people,
connecting with some for lunch, having vibrant conversations, and
speaking in depth with three of the speakers. The second night I dashed
off an email to friends saying, 'I am having the most wonderful time!
These people are the nicest people I've ever met!' It wasn't until the
next day that I realized that the people were just as wonderful as
those I had encountered at previous conferences. They weren't
different. I was different! I was serene and confident, so I could
enjoy the delightful people I met. Now two and a half years later I
still enjoy relaxed confidence in new situations." --J. R. D.

Gym® Session
~ Information and Release
Brain Gym, also referred to
as Educational Kinesiology, is a
unique merging of learning theory and applied kinesiology, as well as a
synthesis of both ancient and modern disciplines. Developed by Paul
Dennison, PhD. after more than 25 years of research and
experimentation, Edu-K / Brain Gym provides a method for understanding,
supporting, and often enhancing interconnections within the brain.
Both the lay person and the professional alike use educational
kinesiology (Edu-K) to expand their human potential, and to allow the
physical, mental, and emotional aspects of each person to function in a
harmonious and integrated fashion. When people create goals and balance
for these specific tasks and functions in their lives, they generally
find the shift to living those goals comes quite easily.
Brain Gym has proven useful in assisting those with dyslexia,
hyperactivity, and associated learning problems to function more
comfortably and effectively. Neurophysiologist Carla Hannaford, PhD
addresses this and the role of movement for brain function in her books
Smart Moves: Why Learning
is
Not All in Your Head and Awakening
the
Child
Heart.
