Educational Kinesiology in Depths
The 7 Dimensions of Intelligence

With Kay McCarroll, international Faculty Instructor UK and European Lieaison for Educational Kinesiology Foundation, USA

This course is taught by a Faculty Instructor and completes the core syllabus by extending the Brain Gym model to seven dimensions of brain/body co-ordination.
The course involves facilitated techniques, suitable for one-to-one consultations, together with self-help tools. It is open to anyone for personal and skills development and is the last training step before the Consultancy courses. Advanced techniques and procedures are learnt, building on the tools of the previous modules.

The model used in this course expands to seven dimensions of function. The course teaches further “Noticing” skills (body-based observation) as to when we, and our clients or pupils, access these dimensions with ease or when they are a source of struggle or stress. The seven dimensions, with some common experiences of how they can be out of balance, are:

• The ability to communicate easily - or feeling blocked in self-expression
• Feeling motivated to move forward towards goals - or held back by negative expectations, thoughts and feelings
• Ease and competence in organization - or struggling to bring order into life and work
• The skill of staying focused on task while remaining aware of the context or “big picture” - or becoming bogged down in detail or overwhelmed by the hugeness of tasks
• Keeping the natural rhythm, flexibility and pulse of our body and life - or becoming locked and rigid in body or self-expression
• Ease of inhalation and exhalation of breathing, a sense of comfort and space in the body - or holding our breath and inhibiting its natural rhythm, which is a primal response to stress and anxiety
• Self-management - balancing what we take in and what we give out, for example, in food, activity and relationships - or going to extremes of food intake, lack of rest (or too much) and difficulty in accepting from others or sharing ourselves
People often manifest inhibitions in one or more of these areas in relation to life challenges and learning issues and the course provides body-based tools and movement work to address these.
The objective of this course is for participants to learn at a more advanced and deep level how to deal with learning and life issues in themselves and others. As a participant on this course you will further develop your skills of observation, both of yourself and others, as a starting point for change. New Educational Kinesiology interventions are added and the emphasis is on using them for one-to-one work, although almost any of the tools can be adapted for group dynamics.

Course dates:
28th of October to 1st of November 2011.
The course starts at 3 pm the first day and ends at 3 pm the last day. Arrival on 28th of October.

BRAIN GYM® TEACHER'S TRAINING

With Kay McCarroll, international Faculty Instructor UK and European Lieaison for Educational Kinesiology Foundation, USA

The aim of this part of the training is to provide a high level of confidence and competence in those wishing to present Brain Gym to the wider public through insets, seminars, talks and the Brain Gym® 101 course. The course syllabus is internationally set and involves practical sessions of presenting and co-presenting aspects of Brain Gym® 101.

Participants will be well familiar with the 26 Brain Gym activities by this point, so the emphasis is on learning to present these in an accurate, safe, engaging and informed way. Students will add to their knowledge both from the experience of the Faculty Instructor and their fellow trainees, who by this time will have considerable experience of using Brain Gym and Educational Kinesiology in consultations.

Explanations of the observed effects of the programme and the individual activities on learning and life issues will be reviewed and discussed with a view to these being presented in an appropriate, context-related, professional way. There will be practice in languaging the programme to adults and children. Peer evaluation is built into this training and all students are encouraged to take a constructively active role in feedback as members of the group present every aspect of the techniques, concepts and activities involved in the Brain Gym® 101 course.

Course dates: April 5 to April 10 2012 starting the first day at 3 pm, ending the last day at 3 pm.
