“M

l
ovement” has become quite the buzzword in the
U.S. this year! Newspapers and magazines are
full of articles about movement as an antidote for
depression, a tool for managing pain, a way to stay alert, get a
good night’s sleep or even lose a few pounds. In addition to
all of these benefits, we in the Brain Gym® community value
movement because it draws out our highest potential.
In my work as a writing teacher at two Los Angeles schools,
I was recently assigned to a special education classroom. In our
first session, “Nomi” had little interest in participating with our
group. If she made eye contact with me at all, it was only for a
split second. Before brainstorming, I led the children through
a modified pace, The Thinking Cap and The Owl. When I
placed two hula hoops on the floor, and asked my students to
walk this Lazy 8, Nomi was absolutely mystified. She appeared
more comfortable “floating” around the room than moving with
this kind of intention.
On my second visit, I wove the same activities into my
lesson. I brought chalk and drew a more precise Lazy 8 on the
pavement outside; this time Nomi zipped around the pattern.
By the third session, she was drawing some careful 8s on her
little whiteboard as she chattered away. When I arrived for
our fourth class, Nomi giggled and grabbed my hands tightly,
inviting me to jump with her. Sitting in our circle afterwards,
she looked at me intently, absorbed in sharing the details of her
poem. At our fifth meeting, Nomi greeted me with a huge hug,
and then sat engaged in our group for thirty minutes, breaking
only to grab my hands and play the jumping game again!
I don’t know what internal change may have taken place for
Nomi during our time together. What I did observe, from
week to week, was how a few simple Brain Gym activities
seemed to help her focus and communicate!
Now, this story is not unusual; Brain Gym enthusiasts all
over the world report on their successes– many in the pages of
this magazine. Yet each breakthrough, small or large, has the
power to shift perspectives for our students, our clients
and ourselves.
As the world becomes more aware of the value of movement,
I think about three decades of Edu-K innovation. And I wish
you a 2011 filled with possibilities – through movement!

Remanlay Acureflex Integration and
the Thinking Cap
Henry Remanlay
M
y work as an acupuncturist links well with the work
that I have learnt about the
primitive reflexes. In my practice I
have combined the Brain Gym® Program, Rhythmic Movement Training
(RMT), acupressure and acupuncture.
The results of this combination of
interventions have been profound. It
gives my clients, who are predominantly children with special needs, and
me a deeper understanding of how the
body works. I have created a form of
therapy, which I have called Remanlay Acureflex Integration. This work
involves the application of acupressure
points for primitive reflex integration.
This pathway creates the connections
from the brainstem to the upper parts
of the brain. The infant’s development
is progressively noticeable, since the
movements become more coordinated
and finer as they go hand in hand with
the development of higher skill abilities.
The neuronal link that these connections create gives the infant more
possibilities to access whole brain integration. When the primitive reflexes
are fully integrated, then the neuronal
Primitive Reflexes
Primitive Reflexes are a series of
stereotyped baby movements1, and
most of the movements have emerged
in utero. These are involuntary
movements being controlled by the
brain stem2, the only part of the brain,
which is fully active right after the
delivery process3.
The purpose of these primitive
reflexes is to ensure maturation of the
“higher brain”. They are the foundation of physical, emotional, and
chemical integration. All of the infant’s
efforts to work with its sensory motor function become its pathway to
develop the maturation of the brain.
link is complete, for lifelong reactions
to anchor into the system.
Unintegrated primitive reflexes may
lead to physical, emotional and chemical stress caused by the deficiency of
these neuronal connections, which limits access to whole brain integration.
Physical challenges may be noticed as
seen in the ability and coordination
of sensory motor function. Emotional
challenges also arise since there are
not yet adequate neuronal connections
from the cerebellum to the frontal lobe
through the limbic system.4

Acupuncture Meridians
Acupuncture meridians were
invented in China more than 5000
years ago.5 There are hundreds of
acupuncture points on the human
body connecting a particular organ
to the other organs which would create a balanced cycle of energy, blood
and essence circulation. “Essence” in
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
is considered as the transformation of
energy (qi) – originated from air and
food intake.6 Emotional and physical
illnesses are then considered as the
result of imbalanced systems. In this
context, the word “healing” means to
create the balance of the whole system.
Unlike the “western conventional
health systems”, TCM acknowledges
the importance of Qi, The Life Force
Energy that has its own metabolic
circulation pattern through all organs.
Human organs are seen as a part
of the holistic system of the physical, emotional, chemical and energy
systems. For example, the heart is
not only an important organ for
blood flow, but also for mental and
emotional wellness. In other words,
the physical, emotional and spiritual
energies are bound as an ‘inseparable’
concept of the human being. “Western
conventional health systems” work
on the mechanical aspects of the
organs, eliminating the energy and
metaphysical aspects of the human. In
this approach, the human has become
segregated from the living energy of
the human. 7

the area of sensory motor, mentalemotional, thinking and concentration

brain itself, but they are all related to
the imbalance of the energetic metabolic system.
The Thinking Cap
Dr. Paul Nogier, a French neurologist, spent 20 years in research and
rediscovered that the ear corresponds
to the whole body and represents the
inverted fetus position.9 Applying
pressure to the related points of the ear
stimulates the corresponding organs
that the Chinese acupuncturists
have practiced since ancient times. In
Brain Gym® “The Thinking Cap” rubs
these acupressure points to relax the
shoulder and neck tension and bring
attention to the auditory system.10

tional variations of this movement.
There are three trivial muscles
attached between our ears and temporal side. In mammals the function
of these muscles is for moving the
ears to listen and keep alert in case
of danger. Even though most of
us are no longer able to move the
ears, I find that many children with
special needs have some tension in
this particular area. By lengthening
these muscles, relaxation is assured,
and survival tension is released.
Begin with the usual Thinking
Cap rubbing the ears top to bottom,
then gently pull your ears in three
different directions: forward, backward, and downward. Exhale for
seven seconds in each position, and
repeat the whole exercise three times.
In my practice, I have seen a
strong relationship between the
process of neural development and
the meridian system. This holistic
approach has proven to quickly
bring the young child back into
alignment with the natural biological plan. Stimulating and balancing
both aspects brings beneficial improvement and significant progress
to children with special needs.

PLAY: Get Your Giggle On
A
rather fiery Kindergarten child marched into my room,
looking cross and pouty. Before I had a chance to invite
her to rub Brain Buttons as part of pace, the following
conversation ensued:
“Suzanne, I’m not doing that anymore!” she said, eyeing
me darkly.
“Why ever not?” I asked.
She crossed her arms decisively, “I went to the Science
Museum of Minnesota with my mom and my dad this weekend
and I saw the brain.”
I waited for further explanation.
“You’ve been lying to me!” she retorted dramatically.
“I looked inside the brain and there’s no buttons
in your brain! You’ve been lying to me and I’m
not going to do that anymore!”
I suppressed my mirth. “You’re absolutely
right. It was my mistake. So we’re going to
do Kidney 27s instead!” I blustered my way
through some explanation of the kidney 27
points and by the following week she started
joining in again.

Minnesota for sharing this story.

The Energy Exercises as
Alignment Markers for the
Three Midlines
Edu-K cofounder Gail Dennison
A
ccording to movement
educator Eric Franklin1,
“alignment emphasizes the
aspect of posture that is concerned
with the geometric relationship of
the parts of the body, usually in the
standing position.” As keys to this
alignment, anatomy2 describes three
axes that intersect to form three planes.
Educational Kinesiology* (Edu-K)
refers to these axes as midlines3*. In
Edu-K, the Processing Midline is
the axis for the left-right midsagittal
plane, and gives rise to the Laterality
Dimension. Similarly, the Participation
Midline is the axis for the back-front
dorsal-ventral plane, giving rise to
the Focus Dimension. Finally, the
Stabilization Midline is the axis for the
top-bottom horizontal plane, and gives
rise to the Centering Dimension. (See
figure one, page 11)
When the body’s geometry is offset,
creating misalignment, we’re constantly
making adjustments to improve our
stability—attempting to balance any
weak or tense muscles and subsequent
torquing; any sideways or
forward pitch.
The focus of this article is how we
use the seven activities from Brain
Gym’s Energy Exercises* to provide
awareness
of the three
midlines,
improve our
alignment, and
thus increase our structural and
emotional stability.
Stability is firmness, steadiness,
the quality of being fixed; yet the
body is rarely fixed. For example, the
dolphin can swim at the surface of
the ocean or plunge into the depths,
leaping and turning yet never losing
the stability given by its movement
. . . we’re constantly
making adjustments to
improve our stability . . .
around or through its vertical midline.
Centering* refers to this ability to
access the center of gravity while
moving; providing for us the dynamic
stabilization that’s possible when we’re
aware of how our extremities and
sensory organs relate to our
body’s geometry.
Biomechanics scientist Katy
Bowman4 says that bent knees, flexed
ankles, a tucked pelvis, or an arched
back can make the body appear to
be standing straight, “but the bony
skeleton is no longer stacked vertical to
the floor.” Bowman explains that, “The

ideal system for stabilizing the body
is a complex communication between
the muscles, tendons, Golgi tendon
organs, nerves, spinal cord, and brain.
When electricity flows through this
proprioceptive system, we feel
clear as to where the body is relative
to itself and its environment. The
flow of electricity, however, depends
on the structural length of this
communication system . . .. Without
optimal muscle length, which requires
correct bony placement, the body is
forced to rely on non-internal reference
points, moving the center of balance
farther away from the center of mass
and leaving the body unstable.”
Awareness of the three planes of
movement contributes to stability by
making possible that optimal muscle
communication. For example, since
tense or weak muscles can’t assume the
needed interrelationship to support
electrical flow, and muscles don’t
automatically return to their normal
relaxed state after contraction, doing
the Lengthening Activities* for the
back-front plane can balance muscles
that are too contracted or lacking tone.
Figure One
Similarly, because lateral asymmetries
such as a “short leg” or high hip impact
the ability to smoothly cross the
midline, the Midline Movements*
can help stabilize the left-right plane
through symmetrical usage.
Franklin provides a further key to
alignment: “The natural center of the
human body is the navel. If a human
being outstretches his hands and feet
and one puts a compass on the navel as
center, both the tips of the fingers and
the tips of the toes are touched by the
resulting circle.” We can use the Energy
Exercises to stabilize all three planes
by attuning to the weight of the body

properly loaded over its center of mass,
as when centering the navel between
the anklebones for standing balance
while we do Balance Buttons.
Such hands-on activities as Earth
Buttons and Space Buttons can give
us ease of verticality in terms of the
Processing Midline. They can further
offer head-to-hips-to-feet awareness of
alignment in terms of the Stabilization
Midline by teaching us to carry the
weight of the head (as when doing
the Energy Yawn, the Thinking Cap,
and Balance Buttons) centered over
the shoulders, which are centered over
the torso (Brain Buttons), which is
centered over the pelvis (Earth Buttons
and Space Buttons). These activities
also give us side-view alignment
markers at the ear, shoulder, hip,
and anklebone on the Participation
Midline, actually addressing each of
the above three body areas as well as
helping center the navel (and so the

Monty, The Monarch Butterfly
Marg Harris
A
s a Brain Gym® instructor
and consultant for over twelve
years, I discovered some adults
had difficulty doing Hook-ups due
to arthritis of the hands, wrists and
shoulders. Utilizing skills developed
as a previous public health nurse and
educator, I quickly realized the need to
create a modification for Hook-ups, yet
honor the intention of the movement.
I demonstrated my “Butterfly
Technique” at a Brain Gym workshop.
An energetic grandmother in the
group declared it was delightful and
wanted to share it with her two-yearold grandson. What a fun way to learn
self-control! Thus was born the
following story:
He stretched his beautiful bright orange and black
butterfly
wings
and made a decision. He would
courageously (for a small
newborn butterfly) land on the
wee child’s head. There was no
response from the upset,
crying child!
“Hmmm!” he said to himself,
“Perhaps I need to move closer.”
He mustered up more cour-
age and fluttered to the child’s
forehead. This time he startled
the wee child, who looked up at
the butterfly wings waving
before his eyes. The child
laughed with glee at the wings waving before his eyes.
Monty, also responding with surprise, laughed too, and then flew in a happy double circle to
the left and the right. (Butter
flies are known for their unique fluttering skills.)
“My name is Monty the Monarch Butterfly. What is
your name?”
“I’m Devin,” replied the
wee child.
“Well, Devin watch me for I can show you how to joyfully
flutterby just like me,” Monty
responded with a butterfly grin.
Wee Devin was curious,
Monty the Monarch
butterfly awoke early one
morning, freshly hatched from his warm, snuggly cocoon. As he fluttered and dried his new butterfly wings, he cheerfully greeted a wonderful sunny day.
He flitted from flower to flower looking for nectar
and happily exploring his new world, since being transformed from a caterpillar into a
butterfly. He extended his long butterfly tongue (it is actually a feeler for butterflies) to drink the flower’s nectar as he moved from flower to flower.
Suddenly he came upon a wee child, bowed over crying in the garden. Monty was startled, but not afraid, curious really.

stopped crying, and said, “How
can I fly as beautifully as you?”
Monty offered, “I see you
have your legs crossed. Hu
mans do that when they want
to relax. Now raise your hands. Wow!! That’s it, palms up fac
ing you. Now cross your wrists,
hook your thumbs together
and then wiggle your fingers. See you have made your own
butterfly in your own body”
Devin grinned with delight!
Monty guided, “Move your
butterfly to the right in a circle
and to the left and then to your
right making circles as you go,
fluttering with your fingers…
That’s it! You can do it! I am so
proud of you! Can make your
hands dance and fingers flitter
and flutter?”
“O.K., now circle left, then
circle right!” Monty continued,
“Play with it two or three or
more times. You are awesome!
Let’s pause a bit for another
trick. Fold your baby and ring
fingers. That’s It! Good work
Devin; follow just like me
above your eyebrows. Here, I’ll
show you.”
And Monty Monarch landed
right in the middle of wee
Devin’s forehead. Devin again
giggled at the tickling sensation
of the butterfly on her brow.
She followed Monty’s instruc
tion and placed her pointer and
ring fingers on her brow.
“Now,” said Monty Monarch,
“Think of a happy space where
you love to be. That’s it! Close
your eyes, take a deep breath
and just be in that space for a
minute or so.”
And wee Devin did just that,
imagining a place by the beach with sand and sunshine. When
a minute or so had passed
Monty the Monarch Butterfly
asked, “What are you noticing?
Devin answered, “ I feel great!”
“Why were you sad?”
asked Monty.
“I have clean forgotten,”
replied Devin.
“Then let’s play some more!”
said an excited Monty who
flitted about with wee Devin
dancing and fluttering joyfully
as they moved about the
sunlit garden.
This story has been so useful to me
that I am in the process of creating a
potential sequel: Monty the Monarch
Meets Sammy the Swallowtail.

Outreach
Kari Coady
I
have a habit of daydreaming about our organization’s
future, especially as it relates to outreach and public service
- one might even call it my hobby. While indulging in this
passion of mine I became curious about Brain Gym® International’s history of service projects, and decided to do some
research.
Since 1987 there have been many projects, too numerous to
mention, facilitated all over the world. Most were developed
independently and driven by individuals while others were
administered directly by the Foundation.
Understanding this history informs me as I look to our organization’s future. Brain Gym® International is now at a place to
take the lead by creating a more solid structure that encourages
and supports individual participation in public service. In this
way, the responsibility of achieving our mission lies with the
non-profit organization, while simultaneously building a bridge
between the Foundation and the individuals who share this
passion of giving back.
Examples of how to create this shift were submitted by our
2010 conference participants and others. They include having

Networking can also occur through
the media and with other organizations.
Last year Edu-K SA received a lot of
media exposure including articles in
magazines, phone-in talk/radio programs,
and TV opportunities. We also collaborated with Wheels On Crèches a
non-profit that focuses on bringing
pre-primary education to areas where
none currently exist. This is one way
we meet our goal of offering Brain Gym
training across the wealth spectrums.
A success story:
We are happy that many teachers
come for training; some have learned
only the Brain Gym movements while
others are busy with Brain Gym® 101.
Malvern Primary School is situated in a crime-ridden area in Central
Johannesburg. Many children have
to deal with abuse, bullying, drugs,
alcohol, and often have lost at least
one parent to AIDS. In the school
all the teachers learnt “The 26”, a few
attended Brain Gym® 101 and some
continued with more advanced Edu-K
coursework. The teachers worked with
the children daily to turn negative
emotions into positive feelings through
balances. They also used the Brain
Gym work to address reflexes.
They found a huge improvement
in the school. The marks went up, the
bullying reduced dramatically, discipline improved, less items ended up in
lost-property, self-confidence improved
and much more.
Our increased ability to provide
Brain Gym training in the poorer
regions, such as Johannesburg, is
directly related to our accreditation.
We anticipate spreading this work to
similar areas throughout South Africa.
In conclusion:
Our goal is to make Brain Gym®
a household name in our country
and bring intentional movement into
government schools. Therefore, it is
important to get recognition and align
with the decision makers in our country. This means meeting government
requirements and organizing ourselves
in a professional manner so schools are
willing to send their teachers and other
professionals to us.
We are proud of how the Brain
Gym work is being used in South Africa. What is happening in your corner
of the world?
Edu-K South Africa’s vision is to
create a place of excellence, love,
and respect where people experience Brain Gym and then apply it
with success. Marlize Basson is

Cindy’s Sense
Cindy Goldade, Faculty Member
C
onsidering myself a life-long student, I recently attended a workshop called “Ignite Your Presentations”
by Michael Hoffman, a Certified Speaking Professional. The essence of his talk was how to effectively reach
the listener. Much of what he said resonated with me and
I want to share a couple of key points about movement
that seem relevant for all ages and occupations.
Let’s begin with the opposite of movement—stillness.
When speaking, a lack of movement can punctuate what
is being said, similar to how a well-placed pause can make
quite an impact. Good storytellers excel at building in
dramatic pauses. Brain Gym founder Paul Dennison is a
master at speaking and then breathing while his listeners
digest what has been said.
Movement attracts attention, makes the presenter
interesting, and activates the sense of vision. This is true
whether explaining pace to friends, facilitating a balance
for an individual, or teaching a workshop to a hundred!
In my experience “children” of all ages enjoy absorbing
information in ways other than simply through their ears.
As a Montessori educator, I understand the potential
distraction of language when showing a new activity: few
words are used and the adult may even exaggerate particular “points of interest” for the child’s sake. Movement can
impact the message.
So, what kind of movement works? Well, this brings
us back to the basic premise of the Brain Gym program:
intentional movement. Fidgeting, adjusting clothes, and
pacing are often distracting and unintentional. According to Michael Hoffman, making a large X with the body
exudes confidence; therefore he suggests using large arm
motions away from the midline and as Michael coaches,
“Let your armpits breathe!” (Especially when talking to
more than fifty people.)
Facial expressions are important since they hold a lot
of emotion. This concept is explored in the Visioncircles
course when we cover the face below the eyes and guess
our partner’s emotion. Allow your eyebrows to join in the
communication dance!
Are we aware of our eyebrows…or of our fidgety movements? Do we know which of our movements appear

effective and confident? You might find it immensely helpful and fascinating to have
yourself videotaped and photographed. (I know I do!) Taking the time to study and
reflect on my own movement patterns in candid snapshots, 1:1 consults, and in front of
groups allows me to improve how I share this great work with others.
Whether it is your face or your body, know that descriptive movement has a purpose
in communication. Body language supports the spoken word, illustrates a point, and
offers a visual memory.
On the Go!

we get. We make a life by
what we give.”

is growth, and our minds,

Trail in Maine

aving had to work very hard in
school myself, I was so excited
about my personal growth
using Brain Gym® techniques that in
1999 I became a licensed instructor/
consultant. In looking for a way to
pay back all the help I received from
supportive teachers, neighbors and
friends I realized that the parts I loved
as a teacher/mentor/coach were all included in this profound modality. This
fun and easy work, which requires no
special tools, fulfills people’s hunger to
find ways to feel better and accomplish
more, while staying relaxed. Many, like
myself, are amazed and delighted to
see how much change can come from
this effective program. As an Outstanding Achievement Award recipient, this article is a compilation of how
I spread the Brain Gym work.
the word to
colleagues,
administrators, therapists, and
parents.
When I
travel and
teach, I drop off my business cards and
Brain Gym materials at local businesses, such as brain injury specialists
and day care centers. My sales pitch
includes honoring their work while
offering suggestions to make what they
do easier and/or more effective. In
addition to these “cold calls” I also offer
services through silent auctions and
health fairs.
Sharing this work can be as simple
as standing in line at the grocery store.
A private session may have me smiling
and someone may ask whether I’m
having a great day. It opens the door to
share the transformation offered with
the Brain Gym work.
My private practice fuels presentations and vice versa. Clients and
students have ranged from two to 102
years old, and their goals are just as
varied as their ages. • A seven-year-old client in
second grade tested at Pre-K reading level in October. He
loved how the Brain Gym
movements made him feel as
if he were in charge and he did
them wherever he could. By
the end of January he was
reading at a second grade level,

Over the past eleven years I have
had the privilege of traveling and
teaching throughout Maine, USA.
Different statewide organizations
including educational non-profits,
foster and adoptive caregiver associations, childcare providers, OT’s, school
nurses, health and physical educators, recreation therapists and dance
instructors have sponsored me. I have
taught Brain Gym® 101 to 583 people,
many of whom got excited and spread

plus his self-esteem and
confidence were greatly increased.
• An 88-year-old client had been falling down frequently; he wanted to regain his balance
and go bowling. Following
three Brain Gym sessions, he
threw a strike on his first throw
at the bowling alley.
• A 102-year-old student
attended a senior workshop;
while she was hard of
hearing, she did all the
movements in class and every
day on her own and was so
proud of herself.
The work that is still changing my
life continues to spread before my eyes.
In Maine, even the former governor’s
wife Karen Baldacci, a former kindergarten teacher, knows the value of
movement. She told me: “Brain Gym®
belongs in every classroom.” I am meeting my goal of paying back and having
fun doing it!
There is no way I could ever fully
state all the wonderful healing I have
received from the Brain Gym program.
