This accessible book is a bridge between todays cutting edge learning and brain research and a powerful introduction to specialized kinesiology. It is clear and playful, even though the content is serious. It has implications for the average individual, and also those with a specific learning challenge or Attention Deficit Disorder. Indeed, a major component of Sharon Promislow's personal practise is leading professional development workshops for school districts and Special Education departments. It is Sharon's thesis that when our bodies are impacted by the physiological effects of stress, we lose our brain body integration, and to all intents and purposes, we become "living and learning disabled". We then need the very same activities that would also help a learning challenged child, to develop the proper neural circuitry and an optimumlearning state for effective, easeful learning and living.Making the Brain Body Connection clearly explains the impact of the classic stress reaction on your brain and body and what you can do to stop the wear and tear now. Step-by-step you will also explore and experience how your brain, body and senses interrelate and learn how they can work better for you, clearing away mental, emotional and physical blocks in the process. The theory is well supported by personal processes and specific techniques drawn from Specialized Kinesiology. Discover how you can: * Handle stress effectively * Improve memory and concentration * Change self-sabotaging behaviors * Experience better reading, writing, vision & hearing * Feel better physically and mentally
