on why Kinesiology is such a beautiful gift to your body

I love how Adam Lehman brings out the treasures of Kinesiology in this interview:

It is the muscle check,

a tool to communicate with the subconscious

which gives you information you can use 

to heal yourself.

And much more!!

Treat yourself 

with some beautiful insides

on your body functionings :-)

I was so lucky

to attend the 

International Kinesiology Conference 2015 

together with Ruben

my Kinesiology brother.

We covered it for you

and had a blast!

The next level: Kinesiology in high level sports

Lisa: 2 Years ago you were with us for the OBO teacher training and I remember us sitting around you on the couch and glued to your lips listening to your experiences of Kinesiology in sports. What are your experiences in this area?

Carol-Ann: My experiences are very dynamic. I worked with one of our Olympic fencers and he explained it beautifully, he said Carol-Ann, I see the sports psychologist and he supports me, I have my training and that supports me. But what Brain Gym did was the bridge between my sports psychologist and my training and allowed me to bring them together and bring about my whole performance.

Lisa: That is a beautiful feedback. Which sports areas do you have experience with coaching?

Carol-Ann: Fencing, Basketball, Fieldhockey, Softball, Gymnastics, American Football, Soccer. Grand Master in Marshall Arts … He was next in line to become the grand master. So this man had phenomenal movement and so we did some work with him supporting him to finish his process.

Lisa: How do you work with such people? A grand Master has such amazing movement skills …

Carol-Ann: You know the key thing to remember is we all have this incredible instinct to survive and so when pressure or stress gets large enough that we no longer have resources to balance it, we move into survival. So its that point where it tips into survival where you can work with anybody in the world no matter who they are.

The Tendon Guard response breaks down the core coordination in the body so physically I am no longer moving with the elite skills that I am capable of, instead I can revert back to the coordination that a baby has when they are in fight or flight or the Moro response.

Lisa: How is the work different if you work in team sports or in individual sports?

Carol-Ann: In individual sports it is me myself and I who is the team. When you are working with a team now you all have to contribute to the goals of your team and at the same time there is a wonderful dynamic that I talk to them about the contribution that they make and then they balance for themselves to individually raise their skill level so their contribution is a greater enhancement to the team goal. The goal in team sports is as relevant as it is in individual sports.

Lisa: Which Moment in your work with Kinesiology and sports filled your heart the most?

Carol-Ann: I am so blessed with the experiences that people had. I know we want to look at it as the sports success but it is really more about the persons success. They are a person in life, a whole being and sports is just one aspect of who they are. So there are many Olympians who may have won a gold medal but they crushed and burned afterwards and so I think when you see them take that aspect of their life (as in the sports) but their entire life opens and expands so that they as a human being have just grown and move into the incredible things that they are capable of doing and sports is just one aspect of their life.

Lisa: Thank you very much!

Eine Brain Performance

2012 hatte ich die Ehre miterleben zu dürfen, wie Dr. Paul Dennison mit einer 'ehemaligen' Schlaganfallklientin arbeitete. Ich war fasziniert: das erste Mal in meinem Leben durfte ich die rechte Gehirnhälfte in ihrer nur wenig eingeschränkten Aktivität erleben. Ich sah, wie wunderschön es ist, im Moment zu sein. Aber auch, wie verrückt es ist, nichts beginnen und zu Ende bringen zu können. Ich war gerührt von der Klientin, die Tränen in den Augen hatte, nach der Brain Gym Aktionebalance, die ihr half, ihre linke und rechte Gehirnhälfte ausgeglichen zu nutzen. 

Diese Rede - oder vielleicht eher Performance - von Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor ist ähnlich faszinierend. Ein muss, für jeden, der nicht nur über unsere beiden Hemisphären reden möchte, sondern sie auch erleben möchte.

  als Dolmetscher für Dr. Paul Dennison @IKL Damme '12

     

     Es waren ein paar spannende Tage unterwegs in Deutschland als Dolmetscher für Dr. Paul Dennison, dem Begründer der Edu-K/ Brain Gym®. Einige seiner Gedanken werde ich gewiss hier und da einstreuen - wie zum Beispiel diesen:

     'Die Wissenschaft (also Menschen) wird nie in der Lage sein, die Genialität und Komplexität der Mechanismen unseres Gehirns vollkommen nachzuempfinden. Für mich ist es wichtig, dass wir dem Gehirn den nötigen Raum verschaffen, seine wundervollen Mechanismen zu aktivieren und sich mit ihnen ins Gleichgewicht zu bringen. Viele Leute – sogar Kinesiologen – begrenzen sich in ihrer Arbeit, da sie sich zu sehr darauf fokussieren, alles wissenschaftlich zu unterlegen. Sie verlassen sich nicht auf die wundervollen und hochkomplexen Mechanismen in unserem Gehirn. Diese bringen sich eigenständig wieder in die Balance, wenn wir ihnen die entsprechende Stimulierung geben.'*

'Bei H&M finden sie die neusten Trends'

Ja, es stimmt schon, Kinesiologie hebt auf eine einzigartige und wundervoll Weise deine Schönheit und dein Können hervor. Die idealen Voraussetzungen für einen Trend Setter. Und dann bekomme ich heute Morgen dieses Foto zugeschickt: auch wenn nicht neu, Überkreuzbewegung - inn, hipp und in Mode. Ein Trend halt ;-).
