4 l The Brain Gym Global Observer l September 2011

A couple was walking their dogs. Suddenly, a squirrel clumsily fell 12 feet from a tree right in front of them. It landed on its back with a thud, flipped back onto

its feet, and scurried away as quickly as possible avoiding certain death by the salivating dogs. The couple stopped in their tracks and contemplated what had just occurred. “Well, I guess nobody is perfect” the man nonchalantly stated as they continued their leisurely stroll. Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary defines perfection as “the quality or state of being perfect: freedom from fault or defect: flawlessness”. When referring to an idea or a moment, “perfect” may be a suitable word. However, is it appropriate to use when referring to humans? Is it in our best interest to strive for perfection? Obviously, we may want to be “free from fault or defect.” Being flawless would be fantastic… but is it actually attainable? Does it set us up for success? In the process of “striving” for perfection of self and/or others, expectations rise considerably. Children are expected to sit still, regardless of developmental appropriateness. Teachers are expected to raise test scores. Parents are expected to have well-mannered children. Squirrels are expected to understand tree physics and trek safely among the branches. Yet, what happens when those expectations can’t be met? In our Brain Gym community, we sometimes expect others to balance for what we perceive as necessary. “You (or that person) need a balance” sends the message that one is out of balance or that something is “wrong” with him/her. Both are judgments that are not ours to make, for we can never truly know the path another is on, or why. Expectations of perfection can be harshest when directed towards “self ”. Hindsight is often so clear that it can be easy to berate ourselves over something we didn’t “notice” such as “being stuck on a specific issue” or “not listening to our body”. The insights we gain usually come at the “perfect time”. The articles within illustrate how occasionally intentional movement is the first step towards noticing a different possibility. They look at stuck-ness from the perspective of sales and marketing, growing older, and even meeting school systems where they currently are. What if we all begin to strive for excellence instead of perfection, embrace the concept of being perfectly imperfect, and set our expectations to allow for the squirrel in each of us?

school the last seven weeks of the 2008 academic year. The last quarter is usu-ally spent reviewing the previous year’s work. It was essential that the students be able to absorb and retain whatever they were studying as they prepared for their final exams. I focused only on the 147 Grade 12s (final year) and facilitated one-on-one sessions with 42 students. At the same time, I introduced the pace* process and a few more movements to the whole school. Every class brought pace into the 15-minute registration at the beginning of each day. The Brain Gym activities selected were: Sipping Water, Brain Buttons, Lazy 8s, The Thinking Cap, The Calf Pump, and The Cross Crawl. Positive Points and Think of an X were used in conjunction with Hook-ups. These movements were chosen because they represent the three dimensions*: later-ality*, centering* and focus*. Initially there was some resistance to trying something new but Mr. Ballie ensured that all the classes participated. One quarter seems hardly enough time to show success. That said, with Brain Gym being the only change the

throughout the school. This is measur-able. Taking into account the socio economic situation together with the limited environment for studying op-portunities these results are exceptional. It takes the support of the entire school and the teachers’ dedicated hard work. Thanks to Mr. Ballie’s belief and support of the Brain Gym programme. The local newspaper has also been supportive by publishing monthly articles, which spread the word. We look forward to expanding to more schools. This work is necessary for the benefit of youth empowerment and advancement. We extend an open invitation to the experts to learn.

Brain Gym had arrived in Ceres! 2008 gave me one term in which to introduce the Brain Gym program to a community through one school. Since then I have been able to broaden the base of the one-to-ones with the students from other years allowing for long-term results. From these individ-ual sessions I identified and addressed problem areas such as comprehension, eye tracking*, attention, immune chal-lenges, specific academic skills and/or needs. Goal setting, pre-activities*,

noticing* and Brain Gym movements, including Dennison Laterality Repat-terning* were used. Some students benefited from a single session while others had several. Many of the students were directionless so goal setting was introduced. Goals could be short term (to get them through each day) or long term; however they had to belong to the students, be measurable and attainable. We are in the third year and despite the initial wariness and skepticism, Brain Gym has been embraced by the teachers and pupils at the school. The school maintained the increased pass rate in 2009 and 2010 remaining 15% above the national average. Students participating in the Brain Gym ses-sions saw a significant improvement in

Ibecame involved with Brain Gym “back in the good ol’ days” of the early 90’s. Things seemed relatively casual while I attended Brain Gym courses. As I completed the

licensure process, it was announced that the Educational Kinesiology Foundation was being formed, a non-profit orga-nization dedicated to facilitating learning through movement. The structure of this new organization didn’t seem particu-larly solid; however, it was becoming established and working through the ‘bumps’ as they came along. There were only ten faculty members at that time and affiliates were developing in eight countries. Two decades later, I find myself serving on the Board of Directors and am in awe of the strength and solidity. The board has the direction and ability to develop the organization for the benefit and well being of all participants around the world. While change can be challenging at times, I can attest and assure you that any modifications made to the organiza-tional structure are carefully considered by the Board with good intention to support the positive efforts of each member, potential members, and students. The influence of this strong organization is exponentially felt around the world. The Board, and those affiliated with it, seeks a strong, healthy, forward thinking organization. Today the Foundation notes approximately 685 licensed instructors with an average of 1,200 students per year attend-ing Brain Gym® 101; these figures do not include records from our affiliates. Additionally, we have 45 International Faculty members, 39 countries with licensed instructors and the Brain Gym program has been introduced to more than 87 countries worldwide! The organization continues striving onward with the help of its seven board members, four part-time employees, eight administrative committees, seven board committees, and 79 volunteers! Baby, we’ve come a long way! Perhaps change can be seen as ‘a good thing’ and easily supported with trust that the Foundation is in good hands, and guided with intelligent heads and warm hearts. This is a GREAT organization! We affect the world for good!

IntroductionMild cognitive impairment (MCI) refers to a stage of mild level of

cognitive decline not sufficient to meet the criteria of dementia. MCI is commonly referred to as the transition between normal cognitive aging and dementia. Community studies have shown an annual progression rate from MCI to dementia of up to 15%.1 Consequently, people nowadays are more aware of the prevalence of MCI among seniors. The Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council (HKSKHWC) has conducted a series of pilot groups studying the relationship between the Brain Gym® activities and cognitive functions among seniors in Hong Kong between December, 2008 and February, 2010. Before this pilot study, we conducted two pilot groups so as to refine selection criteria of assessment tools, participants and Brain Gym movements.

functions of seniors, the HKSKHWC conducted this pilot study between December 2009 and Feburary, 2010. We recruited members aged ≥60 years

from five elderly services units. We used Hong Kong Montreal Cognitive Assessment (HK-MoCA)2 and the validated Chinese version of the 4-item Geriatric Depression Scale3 to assess their cognitive function and depressive symptoms respectively. The HK-MoCA evaluates seven cognitive domains including visuospatial/executive functions, naming, verbal memory, attention, abstractionand orientation. Participants received the above baseline assessment and were then assigned to the control group or the intervention group. Those in the intervention group attended Brain Gym training at least three times a week for four weeks. In this study, we chose five movements as intervention. They are Sipping Water, Brain Buttons, The Cross Crawl, Hook-ups and The Thinking Cap. Participants in the control group did not receive any

cognitive intervention during the study period. The HK-MoCA and GDS were repeated at the end of the study to assess the effectiveness of the Brain Gym training on cognition and mood. Informed consent was obtained from all participants.

Results One-hundred and twenty participants were allocated to the control (n=70) and intervention group (n=50) respectively. There were no differences in age, sex and education between the two groups as shown in table 1 on page 11. The control group had significantly higher scores on the HK-MoCA at baseline and comparing to the intervention group. Scores on GDS did not differ between the two groups at both time points (page 11, Table 2). There were no significant differences in the proportion of changes in the HK-MoCA total score or the GDS between the two groups. However, the intervention group demonstrated improvement in attention domain of the HK-MoCA and the result was significant (p=0.004). Multivariate logistic regression controlling for age, sex, education and baseline HK-MoCA and GDS scores showed that intervention is significantly associated with improvement in the HK-MoCA attention domain (Odds Ratio=2.46; 95% Confidence Interval 1.04-5.82, p=.04).

Discussion Our study showed that the Brain Gym movements (i.e. Sipping Water, Brain Buttons, The Cross Crawl, Hook-Ups and The Thinking Cap) demonstrated beneficial effects on

cognitive functions in community-dwelling elderly persons, particularly in attention. The attention domain in the HK-MoCA contains items evaluating verbal sustained attention, working memory and vigilance, which are basic abilities for everyday functions and responsible for consolidation of memory for long-term storage. In the future, the HKSKHWC will conduct further studies on Brain Gym and cognitive functions of seniors.

Stuck! It is when something refuses to move or requires immense effort to move. When I was growing up on a dairy farm in

Minnesota, I remember picking rocks and feeling my boots collect mud with each step until I could hardly walk. Taking a break to scrape the layers of muck off was important to maintain stamina while working the field. Every spring and fall my parents recount stories of entire tractor wheels becoming buried in the rich black soil. It often takes one or even two bigger, more powerful pieces of equipment to get the earth to release its hold on the stuck one. Have you ever felt stuck? It may have been physical or perhaps mental, emotional, social, or even spiritual. Sometimes we recognize the jam and other times a supportive friend may point it out to us. How do you release yourself from an issue’s hold? Is the muck scraped off one layer at a time? Is it hosed off all at once? Maybe it’s allowed to dry so it falls off piece by piece? Do you prefer to operate alone or with others?

Awareness is the first step. Before I can move, I have to acknowledge I’m stuck. To me, noticing* stuck-ness is a delicate concept requiring openness to vulnerability and an acceptance of

imperfection. There are times when I may recognize my situation and, yet, choose to stay there for the time being. When ready, there are many ways to get moving! Sometimes a self-balance* can create the energy for movement; it might even be simpler, e.g. one or two activities performed with intention. And, in my experience, there are times when it is necessary to receive support from others. We may call a friend to vent or perhaps swap balances with a colleague. The Brain Gym program offers wonderful tools to help when one is ready, willing, and able for forward progression. Goal setting can direct the energy away from the stagnation and towards new possibilities. The Pre-Activities* are wonderful in identifying what is accessible

I was first introduced to Brain Gym® in 1986 and got very excited at the possibilities. After becom-

ing a licensed Brain Gym Instructor, I realized that there wasn’t a lot of focus on the business arena. As a professional speaker and trainer in the corporate world since 1980, I noticed an opportunity to create business-oriented courses. The Dennisons and I discussed some possibilities and I designed the Switched-On Selling (SOS) seminar. The SOS seminar has been offered since 1989 and it combines the Brain Gym movements and balance* process with the principles from selling. Since then, I’ve created the Switched-On Management and Switched-On Net-work Marketing seminars. The business community wanted hard data to support the extremely positive anecdotal reports that I was receiving. So I began conducting research studies on the impact of SOS materials. From this thought, I have completed two major studies that are

posted on my website at www.teplitz.com/switched-main.htm. One was with 695 salespeople and the other was with 87 bankers. I have also conducted studies for

the corpo-rate clients who have put their sales force through my seminar. And the results are always the same. When compared to the baseline established at the beginning of the seminar, attendees dramatically improve their view of themselves and their selling abilities at the end of the seminar. They improve even further a month later. These posi-tive changes have lead to documented increases in individual and company bottom lines. It is typical for 50 to 65% to respond Strongly Disagree and Disagree at the beginning of the seminar and by the end of the seminar almost everyone is on the positive side. Below is an ex-ample of a unique sales force because it had already been through several years of extensive training conducted by The Emmerich Group, Inc. A one-day seminar was conducted on March 17, 2011 for 21 employees at Bank Newport in Newport, Rhode Island. This was an experienced sales force as can be seen from Figure 1, which gives the response totals on the 18 questions each of the attendees answered. It shows that 2% selected Strongly Disagree, while 23% selected Disagree. On the positive side, 59% se-lected Agree and 15% selected Strongly Agree.

Some examples of the statements that they responded to were “I Handle Rejection Well,” “It is Easy For Me To Make Cold Calls In Person” and “It Is Easy For Me To Ask Clients For Referrals.” The questionnaire revealed that one quarter of these highly trained employ-ees were still viewing sales from the negative side. Even sales people who have attended many trainings can still have blocks that prevent them from being as successful as they are capable. In addition, while many thought they were good, only a few (15%) thought they were outstanding. Now let’s examine Figure 2 which is their responses at the end of the semi-nar day. No one responded Strongly Disagree and only 2% selected Dis-agree. While the Agree figure dropped from 59% to 46%, the Strongly Agree numbers jumped from 15% to 51%. This meant that 97% were now posi-tive about how they viewed themselves as sales people. Keep in mind that the only thing the attendees experienced that day to create this level of change was specific

balances, which used the Brain Gym movements. While these figures are extremely impressive, the question remains whether the changes lasted or faded away in a couple of weeks. To answer this important question, we had all 21 participants fill out the question-

naire again one month later. As can be seen in Figure 3, the changes not only held—some of the attendees even improved further. In terms of the design reliability of the study, management was never

shown the responses of any individual. The questionnaire was delivered to each participant one month later in a sealed envelope and their responses were returned in a sealed envelope. This was done so that wanting to “please” management would not influ-ence attendee responses. There is one more question to be answered. When an individual or a company invests money in a sales training program, they want to know that there will be an actual bottom line impact for those attending the seminar. The answer to this question is affirmative. Following are examples of participants’ success. One attendee, Chris Steely, said that the month after the seminar his sales went up $13,000. Another attendee, Karen Seltz, a Brain

Gym® 101 Instructor, who is also a sales person, said that in the four months after the class her sales had increased 103%. Finally, one company, A-Active Termite and Pest Control, doubled its profits over a 12-month period that encompassed the recession through the slow recovery. You can read more about this success story in the July 2010 Edu-K Update. The bottom line for the Switched-On Selling seminar is that it’s a proven program with validated results. As Brad McDonald, owner of a franchise of Sandler Training (the world’s largest sales training company), said “It’s the missing piece in sales training.” If you can’t attend a seminar, con-

Outreach Kari Coady, Executive Director

M any of us have witnessed how one Brain Gym move-ment can transform a person’s life. The same is true when creating opportunities for

public service projects—a seemingly insignificant action can be life changing. Our goal at Brain Gym® International is to continually reach out to our local and global communities. The emphasis is on creating positive change, knowing that small and large efforts alike can make huge impacts. As Executive Director I have many opportunities to view this firsthand. In May’s issue, I shared my experience volunteer-ing on behalf of our organization at an alternative high school. That particular project was so well received that I have been invited back for the entire 2011-2012 school year. What began as a one-time presentation is turning into a more permanent and structured service project. In this issue you’ll meet Pam Smith who did some personal outreach in Nepal. Pam emailed us prior to her trip. She ex-plained how much she loved the Brain Gym work and inquired whether we could donate books. It occurred to me that this was a great opportunity to be of service so Brain Gym® Internation-al donated a few. I trust you’ll enjoy reading how one woman and a few books touched the lives of others. Brain Gym® International has several service projects thatare percolating:

• Ourpoliciesrelatingtospecialfundsarebeingreviewed. These funds will support opportunities for participation in Brain Gym® International outreach programs. • WeareprovidingbooksaspartofthereliefeffortinJapan. • We’resettingupaprocessthatwillallowustotrackone- person “service project” moments, too.

Over the past couple of years, I have realized that service projects come in all shapes and sizes. I look forward to our or-ganization’s involvement in broader-scale programs that include large participation from our community. And I will continue to cherish the smaller, individual opportunities that allow us to change the world for the better one moment at a time.

A Woman andan Orphanage Pam Smith

To bring joy to children while helping them learn is the greatest gift I can give and so

I returned to Nepal on March 14th, 2011 for my 8th trip. I walked across the cement floor of an orphanage dining hall as sun streamed in curtain-less windows. Children sat with their heads down at old wooden tables recit-ing their lessons. Heads popped up with curiosity when Auntie Pam said “We are going to experience something new today that will help you learn!” Wooden benches nearly fell apart as the children struggled to get up. They had already spent an hour cleaning, sweeping and studying so anything was a welcome intrusion. I was confident this would not only be fun, but would help them learn while finding joy in the process. Skeptical smirks met me during the beginning session and one particular older boy stood stiffly shift-ing from one foot to the other. It was obvious he wanted nothing to do with

this—Bishnu was my challenge. “Let’s everyone shake our bod-ies loose,” I invited. Giggly children wiggled and shook all over, excited about this new experience.

Our first exercise was Lazy 8s and it was immediately apparent which children needed extra help with their eye coordination. Glancing at the back of the room Bishnu was shift-ing on his feet again and I observed his difficulties crossing the midline*. More of the boys followed his lead and began to goof off so I asked one to come forward. I demonstrated the “how” and explained the “why” of Lazy

8s. Next I chose Bishnu; reluctantly he came forward. I gently took his arms and motored him through the activity. Evidently he loved the combination of touch and movement by the huge grin on his face when he returned to his place and began to participate. Hook-ups were next. Laughs exploded as they tried in earnest to do the handclasp, twist and close their eyes while staying balanced. After several attempts it was, for the most part, accomplished. Many swayed at first; however, by the end of seven weeks most were able to stand calmly, eyes closed, tongue on the roof of

their mouth and breathe deeply. The children mentioned how relaxedthey felt. The Thinking Cap followed as I noticed the tension many carried and their short attention span. (Who can

blame them in a Rote system of learn-ing?) Nearly a hundred brown eyes met mine as I explained the benefit of this exercise and that teachers wouldn’t even know when they were doing it during classes. Of course they loved this idea. One pair of small brown eyes looked on in sadness as he had a broken arm, so of course I chose him as my partner. Imam was so relaxed as I massaged one of his ears and he did the other. Down, down, down each ear

while everyone followed suit. Imam was obviously in heaven. This exercise was by far all the children’s favorite. After the first few days the children

met me with enthusiasm and clam-ored to volunteer as my guinea pigs. I taught many Brain Gym movements including The Energy Yawn, Space Buttons, Brain Buttons, Neck Rolls, The Elephant, The Footflex, all the 8s activities, and the X exercises, while I was at the school. After seven-weeks improvement was seen in their ability to sit relaxed, do homework and to listen for longer pe-riods of time. Children commented on their attention span increasing along with information retention. By the end of my stay, Bishnu was a cheerful and constant help to the younger children. I consider it a success!

Research Design and the Brain Gym® Activities

Paul E. Dennison and Gail E. Dennison

The purpose of any research study is to measure the validity and reliability of a given test

variable. Whether designing research or simply citing it, one must consider the objectivity with which a test mea-sures the variable that it was intended to measure; that is, whether the study is based on sound methodology. Research methods draw from three primary kinds of data collection, analysis, and interpretation—ranging on a continuum from the qualitative (oriented more to process, observation, and behavioral inquiry) to the quantita-tive (addressing numeric results, as on standardized tests). Somewhere in the middle is a mixed methods approach combining the two and utilizing varied data such as interviews, teacher-made tests, performance or attitude survey, and researcher interpretations of themes and patterns. According to Cresswell (p. 15), “. . . it is useful to consider the full range of possibilities of data collection and to organize these methods, for example, by their degree of predetermined nature, their use of closed-ended versus open-ended ques-tioning, and their focus on numeric versus nonnumeric data analysis.”Regardless of the preferred methodol-ogy, data is compiled and analyzed mathematically to see whether this measure of the validity of a study is statistically significant; that is, the results realized are unlikely to have occurred by chance.

Correlating the Brain Gym Activities with Social, Physical, and Academic Skills We describe the Brain Gym activi-ties as intentional movements that are used in teaching academics by ad-dressing such life skills as self-control and self-calming, along with balance, gross-motor coordination, focus of attention, ease of sitting, and fine-motor and midline-crossing skills (e.g., eye-teaming, head turning, and thumb-finger-hand-eye dexterity). Definitive measures for identify-ing change in the acquisition of skills would involve the identification and isolation of design and control vari-ables, as in the examples that follow: • OneormoreBrainGymactivities that are hypothesized or correlated through a review of the literature to be consistent with the development of a specific physical or social skill (such as paired pointing of the eyes for information processing at near-point, or the ability to calm oneself during a test) • Aphysicalorsocialskill(seethe above examples) that is hypothesized or correlated to a change in performance (whether in academics, sports, or any other field of endeavor)

moving with intention l 21

• Thecarefulmatchingofcontrol variables, including age, gender, grade level, ethnicity, socioeconomic group, duration of the study, size of the test sample, etc. It is common to complete small pilot studies to determine which variables will then be worth studying with larger populations. If the results of a study are statistically significant, the researchers then know that they have one pilot study suggesting a trend. Continuous review of the research helps to build a body of literature that will eventually explore the relationship between specific kinds of movement and acquisition of such diverse skills as self-calming, eye-tracking, academic achievement, and problem solving.

Regarding research design, “. . . possi-ble sources of bias should be identified, and how they will be controlled should be explained” (Fraenkel, p. 20). It is then the responsibility of peer review-ers to identify any unstated internal bias or variables. For research on the Brain Gym activities, such potential biases or variables might include: • Incorrectperformanceofthe activities (e.g., subjects do Lazy 8s without being taught to let their eyes follow their hand motion) • Poorlychosenparameters(e.g., the selected activities don’t apply to that set of abilities, as in researching the effectiveness of Brain Buttons to improve

phonetic awareness) • Extraneousvariables(e.g.,astudy measures the effects of doing the Midline Movements on reading speed, comprehension, and phonetics—abilities that the Brain Gym work identifies as calling for different categories of movement) • Activitiesarenottaughtfor transfer (e.g., academics are taught and tested, but the Brain Gym activities aren’t associated with the specific abilities to be learned) • Amisunderstandingoflearning readiness (e.g., interpreting that learning readiness means students can outperform their mental age, when in the Brain Gym literature it means learners can be coached to be more physically ready to learn an age-appropriate skill) • Distraction(e.g.,using musical accompaniment that is too loud, fast, or otherwise distracting from the kinesthetic experience) Today, abundant studies show how a deficit of physical and social develop-ment negatively impacts attentive abili-ties and academic success. Yet there is remarkably little research on the positive relationship between the nur-turing of physical skills and improved cognitive achievement. Clearly, any and all research done on the practical and easily applied Brain Gym activities will continue to provide a needed contribu-tion to the literature.

Brain Gym® - a series of specifically conceived movements that addresses thephysical skills of learning (for example: visual, auditory). Brain Gym activities contain three categories of movements: The Energy Exercises to develop awareness of the body as the central reference for all directional movements; The Lengthening Activities to facilitate skills of focus and attention; and The Midline Movements for physical coordination as well as accessing of both analytical and spatial information.
