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. 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.

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.

Please be sure to credit: “Ep. 7, Beril Tokcan, Courtesy of Wisdom Shared Podcast with Carole Blueweiss.”You have all these dreams about what's next in your life.. ... suddenly it's all washed away and you're left with a big unknown.The gap was getting larger and larger every day. Our doctors kept telling me .... “They were born prematurely. We should wait a little more.”There's that motherly instinct saying, “something is wrong,” but you're hoping it's all fine because the doctor is saying it's all fine.There should be a more humane way to connect with him and see where he's at and to help him get to the next step, not go 50 steps ahead. I had no idea what it could be, but I knew there should be a way so that’s when I started doing my research,I had no idea how much movement has influence on the brain's potential to learn and change it.It[ABMN] works in different ways with each child because each brain is unique.I was feeling very alone and isolated. I thought no one got what I was going through. I built these big walls around me and I just wanted to be inside with the two kids I just didn't want to have anything to do with the outside world.I started to see a psychologist. And one of the things that she told me really struck me. She said, “You have to put the oxygen mask to yourself first,” which I found out to be very true. I said out loud that I have a child with special needs. And that was the breaking point for me because before that, you know, of course I have a special needs child, but I couldn't verbalize it. The ABM training was wonderful because you could look into each other's eye and understand each other and feel each other without, without needing for words, it was such a safe place to be. I went to the[ABMN] training to learn the tools to help my son and other children, but I had no idea how much it would change me as a person. We need to see where the child is and offer different ways for him to figure out how to get to the next step.He's a child with confidence and determination and motivation because he figured things out for himself. And by me slowing down and by me connecting with him and by me giving him the space, he figured things out.At one point he left his walker and started taking steps. And there was more fluidity in his walk and he opened up his arms and he said, “I'm free now.”When he was diagnosed, we went to see a couple of neurologists and all of them basically gave similar answers of what he will never be able to do in life. How come they can speak so firmly about things that my son will never be able to do in life? He's only one year old. It's just that motherly instinct saying, I'm going to do everything in my power to help him improve his potential.Sports has been a part of our journey, a big part of our journey because that's where he likes to challenge himself and wants to play together with his friends. And I see that as the best therapy.Trust your intuition in whichever path you want to take. And do a lot of research. Not everything will be useful for your child, but find your own rhythm and pace and what works for you. Don’t wait for answers to come to you.No one has a magic wand. It's a long process and it can be hard. But it can also be joyful and fun. Just embrace it all and take care of yourself. I wish I had started taking care of myself and helping me heal earlier. Find parents that are going through similar journey and process because you do need someone to walk this path with. I don't believe in labels and I don't think we need words like special or unique or extraordinary. I think each child is unique and special and extraordinary..... By labeling them, you're pushing them outside of the circle. Be open enough to listen, but then listen to your intuition and let that be the guide in your decision-making process. The most important thing is that the child can learn and if they can learn, they can always learn more.

Please be sure to credit: “Ep. 6, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, Courtesy of Wisdom Shared Podcast with Carole Blueweiss.”"How does our brain create our perception of reality?""I could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of my life. I became a complete infant in a woman’s body. I was minutes from death.""I knew nothing. I had no information in my left brain… I had no perception of my past. I was isolated completely in the present moment. It took eight years to recover all function of my left brain.""I was nothing but a breathing body in a bed. That’s how my mother described me.""I don’t use the term “victim” because I survived that day. I prefer that instead of calling people stroke victims—the victims died, the survivors survive—I encourage people to call us stroke survivors. It makes a difference. Words have power.""If you’re going to be a good teacher, you have to go to the level of the student.""When I experienced the stroke, I had incredible right brain ability. I was completely turned on to body language, physical language—all kinds of gifts of the right brain—far beyond the normal person. I could tell in an instant if someone was telling the truth or telling a lie, because the cells that could distract me from being able to tell that someone was telling a lie were turned off.""I was very blessed. And this is one of the greatest gifts Gigi gave me. From day to day, I couldn’t remember yesterday or the day before because all I had was the present moment. She kept reminding me of what I couldn’t do yesterday. She was enthusiastic about my ability to get better.""Every step is a celebration. I had to stay focused on what I could do, not on what I couldn’t do. So much of our society focuses on the disability. Let’s focus on and enthusiastically say YAY to what’s working, and then 'what’s the next thing I can learn?'"
