Denise has been on the Autism journey with her son, Nathan for 20 years, diagnosed with autism at 2, he is now 22. She has gone down alot of "rabbit holes" in the 20 years without a lot of significant change looking to help her son. Since finding the Anat Baniel Method NeuroMovement method as well as her own personal embodiment and healing journey, they are both thriving. The missing piece that she believes is the Brain-Body disconnect and lack of embodiment that her son was struggling with. Also since starting to really ALLOW and let him be who he is, healing herself and beliefs around who he was and the diagnosis, he then started integrating more into this world, feeling his body, regulation of his nervous system, awareness of his emotions, environments etc.  Denise helps families deeply connect with themselves and their children on the spectrum. She does in person NeuroMovement lessons as well as coaching for parents online using the Anat Baniel principles. You can find out more on her website at www.awakenedbodymind.com.

How can you use movement to activate your brain for greater mental strength, energy, flexibility, and clarity? One of the best ways to enhance learning is by disrupting the monotonous drag of long study sessions and rote memorization. Moving your body is one way to help enhance focus and give your brain an extra energy burst. But what if there were specific movements you could utilize to unlock your full learning potential and give you even better results? I'm thrilled to have Anat Baniel on our show today to discuss this topic. Anat is a clinical psychologist, dancer, and best-selling author of Kids Beyond Limits: The Anat Baniel Method for Awakening the Brain and Transforming the Life of Your Child With Special Needs and Move Into Life: Neuromovement for Lifelong Vitality. She's here to talk about why movement is the brain's language and how to utilize movement as a mechanism to empower learning and create possibilities in your life. You've heard me say it before: as the body moves, the brain grooves. But it isn't about movement alone. Listen in as Anat explains the essentials of movement that will help align your body and brain to improve your learning and your life. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

How Simple Movements Can Rewire the Brain and Improve Wellness Are we limited by the abilities of our brain or can we actually change the brain? Can we naturally improve performance & flexibility, reduce pain and heal? Anat Baniel has proved that this is possible via the NeuroMovement system she has developed. Join health seekers Adiel Gorel and Chad Lefevre as they discuss her groundbreaking work in neuroplasticity. Listen now!   Key Insights: We tend to think of our brains as unchangeable and our skill sets as finite and limited. However, Anat Baniel's work shows that it is possible to learn new things, and to rewire and actually change the brain. By making simple changes in the way that we move, we can give the brain new information to work with. This can help ease pain, increase range of motion, and help people with physical injuries, ADHD, stroke, brain injury, etc. The brain tends to fall into the habit of doing certain things in a certain repetitive, not-always-positive way. We can create a new system of movement to help the brain overcome these habitual behaviors. Learning a new instrument or a language is Neuromovement in a sense. It is a way of training the brain to do things it has never done before; helping to create billions of new neural connections. We now understand how we can make quantum changes in the brain by making small shifts in our movements. Recent research into mindfulness and meditation has helped us to understand the power of the mind. Author, Investment Expert and Wellness Advocate Adiel Gorel isn't just an expert in his chosen fields but also a storyteller who makes complex issues easily accessible. Tune in to his show where he addresses diverse issues with a single aim to improve quality of life.    Have questions?

How the Anat Baniel Method Harnesses Neuromovement for Lifelong Vitality Do you believe that you're hardwired to behave and think in certain ways and that it's impossible to change? Research into neuroplasticity tells us this isn't so; that we can change the brain, improve performance, health and vitality in simple ways. Anat Baniel's work and her NeuroMovement Treatments corroborate this. Join us for this chat about her work, how she helps special kids and top athletes, and the nine essentials that can change your life. Listen now!   Takeaways: We tend to think of the brain being hardwired and unchangeable in some ways, and feel that we do things the way we do them because of this. Anat Baniel's NeuroMovement Treatments suggest otherwise. According to Anat, movement is the key to positive brain change. She carries forward and builds upon the work of her mentor Moshé Feldenkrais who is famous for the Feldenkrais Method. Doing things differently from the way that we always have done them gives the brain new information and makes it change. This helps us learn new skills and refine and enhance the abilities that we have. Anat has helped children with special needs, as well as top athletes and professional dancers by simple movement training. By making the brain think and function in new ways, it is possible to physically change the brain. In her book Move Into Life: The Nine Essentials for Lifelong Vitality, Anat Baniel speaks about nine ways to improve health and enhance life. She speaks about the importance of mindfulness, slowing down, movement variation and more in the book.

You are welcome to share the wisdom from this episode. Please be sure to credit: “_Ep. 10, Ariana Speyer, Courtesy of Wisdom Shared Podcast with Carole Blueweiss._”In my conversation with Ariana, we covered a lot of ground. Here are some of the highlights.Parenting a child with special needs in some ways prepared Ariana and her husband for the COVID-19 pandemic, “Because risk benefit analysis is something we've been very used to doing since my daughter was very little, and that's something people are grappling with a lot of: Is this worth it? Does this make sense? Is the benefit worth the risk? You know, all of those questions we have to ask ourselves now all the time we were already pretty used to asking ourselves, like, is it worth it to have an MRI?”2. We discuss labels, and how the bureaucratic drive to quantify every special needs child is an ongoing challenge for parents. “If I were to talk about her as a human, as somebody that I love, I would say she's silly. She loves to dance. She's nine years old. She enjoys all kinds of music and hanging out with her grandparents and watching movies. If I was going to talk about her labels, I would say that she's non-ambulatory, non-verbal, and she has multiple disabilities.”3. Bedside manner isn't something every doctor is trained in, but it can make all the difference. “Ideally, a doctor will come with a certain amount of positivity and kind of connectedness. That makes you feel safe and like you're working together collaboratively to figure out the next best thing.”4. The Anat Baniel Method, or ABM Method, provided a transformational, movement-based way of working with Calliope and a new career and community for Ariana. “From the very beginning, I just felt a visceral response to the ABM approach, which is so gentle. And so hard to describe—giving Calliope movement experiences that she wouldn't have on her own in a way that would develop her own potential.”5. In ABM, resting is part of learning. “Rest is so essential to how ABM operates in every movement lesson. There's so much resting and that's a time when you can kind of notice differences and noticing differences in our work is the fundamental unit of learning. So having intensive practice time, and then resting in between to see what happens with how the system takes that information in is an interesting model. And it's been shown to work pretty powerfully.”6. It's hard not to compare your neurodiverse child's development to “typical” children. “Every birthday was incredibly painful and the uncertainty felt more overwhelming than it does now. There's something to be said just for the passage of time and it not being so fresh, but…there's always going to be grief.”7. Having a community of other special needs parents can be really good medicine. “The support of that community is essential for mitigating or at least bonding over all of these challenges so that they feel less isolating and also less scary.”8. I always ask parents who I interview how they take care of themselves. For Ariana, it's a combination: “ABM movement lessons saved my sanity and my body during the pandemic. I've become very dependent on them in a way that I hadn't anticipated would be possible. Going for walks has been another thing that I've found incredibly therapeutic. And then other than that, you know, trashy TV, ice cream, and beer.” TERMS, TREATMENT MODALITIES, and RESOURCES in this EPISODEARIANA SPEYERhttps://www.arianaspeyer.comANAT BANIEL AND NEUROMOVEMENT®https://www.anatbanielmethod.comAnat Baniel, a student of Moshe Feldenkrais, developed and evolved NeuroMovement® from 30+ years of experience with thousands of clients using practical applications of brain plasticity principles.
