Right Brain Aerobics Certified Trainer
This week I had a wonderful Right Brainy kind of day. Teaching Right Brain Aerobics for Left Brained Folks was a fabulous gathering of individuals who each came for their own specific reasons for wanting to learn how to think more creatively. Before teaching the characteristics of a right brained orientation, each student responded to the inquiry of what qualities they experience when doing the activities that bring them the greatest joy.
Their responses
defined a right-brain-activated state of mind. One spoke of feeling like she
was "in the flow" when doing her quilting; a kindergarten
teacher shared her passion for teaching children "outside the box"
and beyond the prescribed curriculum; a social worker beamed as she described
the serenity that she benefitted from when getting her hands in the
soil while gardening, and another lost herself while listening to her
favorite music.
We all intuitively
know our right brain states; they are so commonly tied to those activities that
give us the greatest sense of joy and heartfelt connection. It is not that we
cannot derive great pride and satisfaction with left brain driven activities,
they are just less frequently tied to the joys that make the heart sing.
Teaching Right Brain
Aerobics for me is all about empowerment and inspiration. It is my intention
that each person that leaves a workshop can go home that night and have an
imprinted brain and body memory of how to do their Right Brain Start Up
exercise. They should be able to easily resource moments from the class
that distinctly recall a sense of peace and at-easeness that returns to them as
soon as they begin their 3 movements, 3 sips of water, and 3 breaths.
The brain learns
through the laws of repetition and association, so each time I teach, we
repeat the exercises and entrain our minds and hearts to recall what was
learned that day, so that the information is more deeply embedded than
extrinsic short-term memory information that dissipates soon after it is heard.
When students begin
to see as possible, that which was only an hour before, considered
to be an "impossible thing", I am convinced that the world needs
this work more than it even knows.
