Folge 131: Tom – vom Rollstuhl wieder zurück in den SportTom, 23, litt vor zwei Jahren an einer neurologischen Autoimmunerkrankung, die ihn an den Rollstuhl fesselte. Als Sportstudent musste er erleben wie, scheinbar ohne Ursache, innerhalb von wenigen Tagen eine Lähmung von den Füßen bis in die Hüfte auftrat. Monatelang musste er starke und übermäßig teure Medikamente einnehmen, die immer nur für kurze Zeit wieder auf die Beine brachten. Die Aussage einer der bekanntesten Neurologinnen war damals: “Sie werden nie wieder gesund werden.” Er hatte sich als Sportler immer vorbildlich “gesund” ernährt. Die offizielle Diagnose lautete: akut beginnende, schubförmig verlaufende, chronisch inflammatorische demyelinisierende Polyneuropathie, kurz CIDP. Man könnte die Erkrankung auch als Multiple Sklerose des peripheren Nervensystems bezeichnen. Zuvor gab es auch die Diagnose Guillain-Barré-Syndrom GBS.Dank zweier Ärzte, nämlich Bastian Hölscher (Episode 127) und Dr. Dirk Lemke wurde er mit Paleo und dem Coimbra-Protokoll, was eine Vitamin-D-Hochdosis-Therapie ist, wieder hergestellt. Inzwischen macht er Carnivore und es geht ihm damit am besten.Er studiert heute Medizin mit einer Leidenschaft für Ernährungsmedizin und NeuroMovement. Sein Wissen teilt er auf dem Instagramaccount @numbneurotherapy auf Englisch. Fleischzeit ist der erste deutschsprachige Podcast rund um die carnivore Ernährung.

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.

Tania Ginsberg-Jambou is a French-American bilingual mom and Montessorian living in California. Tania grew up speaking both French and English with her American father and French mother. Tania and her husband, who is French, have three children with whom they speak exclusively in French at home. Tania is trained as an AMI 3-6 Montessori guide, and before she became a mother, she taught in a bilingual Montessori Children's House in Paris. She shares what that experience was like for her and how bilingual education functioned in that classroom. In addition to her Montessori training, Tania is also trained in the Pikler Method, known as RIE or Resources for Infant Educarers, and she is also trained as a NeuroMovement Practitioner. We talk about how she uses both her RIE and NeuroMovement trainings with her children these days, and how NeuroMovement has been particularly transformative for her son, who has cerebral palsy. We also get into a wonderful discussion about language and identity, both about how these themes have shown up in Tania's own life and how she sees them manifesting in her children's lives as they grow.

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.

I hold curiosity and an open mind as two of my most precious values and so I love nothing more than to step off the straight and narrow in search of treasures and possibilities.I am struck however by how much synergy there is in what thought leaders and master clinicians that I've interviewed are saying - and how Anat has packaged these up in her 9 essentials. Such seemingly opposing philosophies of approach all in agreement despite their many differences - Kim Barthel talking about emotion, the brain-body connection, and the importance of verbalizing behavior to bring awareness and connection, Brian Hoare talking about the importance of extrinsic learning and learning to learn, Jean-Pierre talking about not treating into the child's limitations but accessing the brains capacity for change and Prof Rosenbaum recognizing the importance of accepting each child as perfectly whole and amazing no matter their current challenges. I'm excited by so much synergy and worried that egos get in the way of building on these connections, and concerned about how we start to tease out the hope from the hype. What a crazy, energizing and precarious place to be as therapists - we have important roles to play here because we are the ones who walk the longest and closest with the parents and their children - we have a responsibility to be open to new possibilities whilst being informed and cautious. How do we do that? With conversations open conversations for a start which is exactly what this interview is about. Anat and I had so much to say, that I've had to split it into two parts. This is part 1 as we seek to understand the concepts. In part two we really dig into the hot topics, hard questions and science - enjoy For all the links mentioned in this podcast and more great speakers check out www.wiredondevelopment.com

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.

Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma.

Babies with SWS are born with a birthmark on their face known as a port-wine stain. Port-wine birthmarks are caused by enlarged blood vessels right underneath the skin. People with Sturge-Weber syndrome also have clusters of abnormal blood vessels between the layers of tissue that cover the brain and spine known as leptomeningeal angiomas. They may also have increased pressure in the eyes known as glaucoma. Other symptoms of SWS may include seizures, muscle weakness, developmental and intellectual disability. SWS is caused by a mutation in the GNAQ gene.THE WORLD'S BIGGEST PIANO MAT by SMART PLANETSearch for this product online and purchase from your preferred retailer.“Featuring a whopping 6 feet of fun, the music mat doesn't only feature piano, but lets you choose from 8 different built-in instruments!”

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.
This week we continue our kids series by rambling with Jen Stewart! In this episode we had the opportunity to sit down with Jen, she is an ABM practitioner out of British Columbia. Jen discovered the Anat Baniel Method of NeuroMovement® after the birth of my daughter, who was born with a rare genetic disorder. Unsure if she would talk, walk or interact with intention, she began a journey to find a way to help her unique brain develop to it's fullest potential. Join me in the journey of discovering new ways to learn through slow, gentle movements and how to connect to yourself and your child. Some of the topics we cover are: What is ABM? How does ABM work? What are the 9 essentials? Who can benefit (conditions/ ages)? What does an ABM session look like? Are there other modalities/ therapies that pair well with ABM? What can I do as a parent to support my child?

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?'"

I am always excited to speak with inspiring practitioners and parents on this podcast, but today I am especially grateful for the opportunity to introduce you to Johannes and Signe Skovgaard. That's for several reasons, one of which is that we are friends. I met Johannes and Signe at the ABM Center in California. They were there with their daughter Anna, and we were there with our son Carter. Though they live and practice in Denmark, we have maintained our friendship.Johannes and Signe did more than take Anna to the ABM Center . . . they started one of their own, back in Denmark. It's called the Scandinavian Center of Neurodevelopmental Movement.On this podcast, we'll learn more about this incredible family and the work they're doing to bring the science of neuromovement to children from around the world.Support the show (https://whoiscarter.z2systems.com/np/clients/whoiscarter/donation.jsp)

In this podcast, Anat interviews Richard Miller, PhD, a world-renowned spiritual teacher, author, yogic scholar, researcher, and clinical psychologist. He has worked with veterans, homeless people, women who have escaped human trafficking, people suffering from chronic depression, and others with post-traumatic stress disorder. Dr. Miller is the founder of iRest®, a simple and accessible form of meditation designed for modern day living, and what he calls “tools for life.” These tools empower you to skillfully meet each moment with unshakable peace and wellbeing—no matter how challenging or difficult your situation. In this episode, Anat Baniel and Richard Miller discuss:when we are under ongoing, undue stress that is inescapable, the natural response of the brain/body is to react with a trauma response or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); Richard’s experience with having a child born with hydrocephalus, and how he responded to his son’s challenges in life; Richard takes us through one of his exercises to connect to our innate quality of “wholeness of being,” helping us shift from our thinking mind to our body as sensation; the importance of and need for safety first, within ourselves, and within our children; we have five other needs, according to Richard, in addition to our basic needs: to be seen, to be heard, to connect with, to belong, and to feel our innate wholeness;both iRest® and NeuroMovement® offer a holistic approach to healing and well-being that embraces the unknown and opens up a world of possibilities.
Cheyanne Marcy has been an advocate on big stages, on everyday social media platforms and in day-to-day life on behalf of her son, Archer (5). She values action and advocacy – and has navigated not one, not two, but three state education systems. She writes, “… I learned I was not doing enough to advocate for my child’s needs. Advocacy begins in your home, with our family and friends. It is all too easy to clam up and keep quiet. Sometimes feeling like you are explaining things over and over, then these people are close to you, so offense is taken. The challenge exists consistently.” We sit down to talk about overcoming the fear of speaking up, vital services and resources for kids with CVI and NeuroMovement.

Awaring—the action of generating Awareness—is to be knowledgeable about what you are doing, sensing, thinking, and experiencing at any given moment. When you are aware, you are fully alive and present. Your brain is working at its highest level, noticing subtle nuances of what is going on around and within you, revealing options and potentials, greatly accelerating learning. In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss: Awareness is an action that can be practiced and developed in yourself and in your child; Awareness is the “glue of learning;” it can significantly shorten the process of change and progression; Awaring calls upon us to use our brains at a higher level quality of functioning; practical tips and examples of how to use the Awareness Essential with children with special needs; children are often aware, and using all of the Essentials will generate more awareness and new learning and possibilities; related questions from the audience.
Einstein said: “Imagination is everything. It is the preview to life’s coming attractions.” Through imagination, your brain figures out new possibilities before actually having to perform. Your dreams give you a unique life path to follow and guide your brain to continue growing and developing. Imagination and Dreams give you and your child the ability to create something that has never been there before, transcending your limitations.In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss: how to practice and apply Imagination & Dreams intentionally, and the power of this Essential to move you and your child beyond current limitations; practical tips and examples of how to use Imagination & Dreams with children with special needs; the brain is a quantum information system, and there is either a change or no change (not small or big change); how to connect with your child where she or he is at using the Essentials, and allow for spontaneous outcomes;A Life Unbound, a documentary about this Method, is being shown online (check out our upcoming screenings);related questions from the audience.
The brain is either in a learning mode—the Learning Switch is on—or not. Repetition, drills, and everyday stresses all tend to turn the Learning Switch off. The same happens when a child has special challenges, or a person has suffered trauma or injury. For the brain to properly do its job, the Learning Switch needs to be on. Once on, at any age, life becomes a wonderful new adventure, filled with movement, creativity, and new possibilities.In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss:how Anat discovered the Learning Switch, and how this Essential can help any child, or adult, become a more potent and powerful learner; practical tips and examples of how to use the Learning Switch with children with special needs; the importance of giving children the space to experience themselves and their own learning; recognizing when you are in a learning mode or not, and discovering how to turn on your own Learning Switch;A Life Unbound, a documentary about this Method, is being shown online (check out our upcoming screenings);related questions from the audience.

Freeing yourself from the compulsion to achieve a goal in a certain way and at a certain time keeps you open-minded. You are available to recognize opportunities you may have never noticed had you been fixed on a too rigidly set course. There is no way to know in advance the path that will lead you to achieving your goal. In this episode, we explore how to use Flexible Goals in your and your child’s life.In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss:the purpose of the 9 Essentials is to create conditions where the brain can do its job better, and how you carry out your goals will affect your and your child’s learning; “If he could, he would; if she could, she would.” Asking a child or an adult to do something that she or he cannot do grooves in experiences (and patterns) of failure in the brain; the Flexible Goals Essential offers opportunities for you to find creative ways to begin where your child is at and with what your child can already do;instead of focusing on the performance of a specific skill, focus on the brain and ask yourself: What can I do now to get my child’s brain to do its job even better?;practical tips and examples of how to use Flexible Goals with children with special needs;related questions from the audience.
Parents at times find it challenging, and perhaps confusing, how to be with their young one and what leadership with their child means. Does it mean discipline? “consequences”? punishment? “bribery”? It is that much more challenging when a child has special needs. In this podcast, Anat Baniel interviews Randy Roberts, a world-class strategist and educator whose specialty is leadership. Randy has been working for 35 years as a transformational coach with top leaders and their teams. Her biggest passion is parents.

Enthusiasm is a skill you can develop. It is a choice to appreciate and take delight in the small things. It amplifies what is important and grooves in new learning in your brain. When hearing the word “enthusiasm,” it often evokes the idea of excitement, happiness, or externally expressed feelings. Today, we explore the relationship between the adult’s Enthusiasm (an internal response, different from external excitement), and awakening powerful neuroplasticity in the child’s brain, leading to transformational breakthroughs.In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss:the purpose of the 9 Essentials is to create conditions where the brain can do its job better, and Enthusiasm is a powerful way to make it easier for the brain to perceive differences the Enthusiasm Essential develops your ability to internally amplify what you observe and to appreciate the smallest of changes in your child; it is recognition of the “miraculous”Enthusiasm is not about clapping, praise, or loud excitement—these kinds of external responses may actually inhibit the brain in the learning process practical tips and examples of how to use Enthusiasm with children with special needshow to practice the Enthusiasm Essential yourself and with your child in daily liferelated questions from the audience

We’ve all heard the expressions “no pain, no gain” and “try harder,” expecting these ways to provide us with the desired outcomes. As counterintuitive as it may seem, the reduction of force and of intensity is what the brain needs to get new information to help us, and the child with special needs, change for the better in powerful ways. In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss:the focus of NeuroMovement is to upgrade the ability of the brain to do its own job well, and the 9 Essentials can provide the conditions to help make this happenhow Subtlety, the reduction of force or intensity, can enhance the brain’s ability to perceive differences and receive new information for learningpractical tips on how to use Subtlety and other Essentials with children with special needshow to use the Essentials and to observe what happens with your child—and be open to the possibilities!related questions from the audience
As children grow and develop, they continually “figure out” how to do things, becoming more and more independent. For a child with special needs, this learning process is interrupted. How can you help your child and also recognize when you are doing too much, or helping too often?In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss:how to give children with special needs the space and time to do what they canallowing children to do it on their own with limited assistance will allow them to know what they CAN do, and will allow YOU to observe what they are able to do without helppractical tips and examples on how to provide your child with opportunities for learningthe importance of using small experiences to help children with special needs to discover their own powerrelated questions from the audience
The human brain is an endless source of mystery and wonder. It’s the most powerful computer we know of, at least for now, and it’s a tool that has allowed the human race to achieve incredible things. The brain is also much more flexible and adaptable than many people realize. Someone who understands this more than most is Anat Baniel. She’s a psychologist, best-selling author of two books, Move Into Life and Kids Beyond Limits, and the creator of NeuroMovement, a powerful methodology that uses physical movement to rewire the brain. NeuroMovement is practiced around the globe and can be used as a treatment for pain, traumatic brain injury, and stroke. It’s also a method for achieving peak performance and even a way to combat aging. If you find your mental performance lagging, know that you’re not hardwired that way. Like the muscles in your body, your brain can get flabby without proper care. NeuroMovement reminds us that we need to take a holistic approach to our mental and physical health. Tune in as Anat explains the amazing science behind using your body to optimize your brain.
For many of us, the brain remains a mystery. But it has an important job in our life: to make sense out of the disorder of the world. Our brain must process every sight, every sound, smell, taste, emotion, everything that we experience, process it and make sense of it in a way that is healthy for us.

In the last 20 years in the US, the number of options that parents have in choosing how to help their child has grown dramatically. However, it often leaves parents wondering which of the interventions to provide their child. And how many should the child be exposed to at any given time? By what criteria can parents judge and decide? In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss:the learning process and how optimal learning occurs in small units of timethe need for rest after learning in order to fully integrate what has been learnedrecommended criteria for deciding which interventions to use with your childtrue learning is pleasurable; we are built to enjoy learning!related questions from the audience
Fast, we can only do what we already know. This is how the brain works. To learn and master new skills and overcome limitation, the first thing to do is slow way down. Slow actually gets the brain’s attention and stimulates the formation of rich new neural patterns.In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss:the tools for waking up the brain – the 9 Essentials of NeuroMovement®the perception of differences is the source of information for the brainthe Slow Essential and how it helps the brain to improve its ability to perceive differenceshow to use Slow with children with cerebral palsy, genetic disorders, and other special needsrelated questions from the audience
Movement is Life. The brain needs movement to grow and form. However, for successful learning and development, movement alone is not enough. Movement done without attention to the feeling of self only further grooves in existing patterns. With attention to what you feel as you move, billions of new connections are created that usher in remarkable transformations.In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss:the tools for waking up the brain – the 9 Essentials of NeuroMovement®research that shows movement with attention creates new connections in the brainthe potential for everyone to have a stronger, better brain with NeuroMovementways to potentiate your brain and your child’s brain to grow and changehow to use Movement with Attention with children with autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, brain injury, and other special needsrelated questions from the audience
Martha Herbert, MD, PhD, is a pediatric neurologist committed to making a real difference in the lives of children with special needs. When writing her book The Autism Revolution, she interviewed Anat Baniel, and discovered the transformational outcomes that Anat’s clients were getting with NeuroMovement®. Martha saw a unique opportunity to bring together all her knowledge and skills, and she joined Anat’s training program!In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Martha Herbert discuss:their commitment to improving outcomes for children with special needs, and all of their clientshow the brain of a child with special needs can be awakened using the power of human connectionthe amazing capacities of the brain to grow and evolve, when provided with the right conditionsthe personal and professional outcomes that Martha experienced with the practitioner training programhow NeuroMovement® and the 9 Essentials can help to make the impossible possible
We now know the enormous importance of the brain in everything we do. The good news is that the brain is “plastic,” meaning that the brain changes in response to its experiences. The challenge is how we can take advantage of the brain’s ability to learn and heal, and move the child with special needs past his or her limitations (and adults, too). In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss:how Anat discovered that movement is the way to communicate with the brainthe fundamental job of the brain and how it grows and evolveshow NeuroMovement® helps the brain to get stronger and better at its jobthe source of information for the brain and the conditions required for learning learning through perception of differences and the process of differentiation related questions from the audienceView some of the slides discussed in this episode here and learn more about differentiation.
It took Jill Bolte Taylor eight years to fully recover from her stroke. That was before she met Anat Baniel and discovered NeuroMovement® and the 9 Essentials. Jill states: “Anat applies the exact same principles when helping people overcome limitation that I used to recover my brain and body from stroke. She understands that for any meaningful change to happen in the way we think, move, and use our body, the change has to happen in the brain.”In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Jill Bolte Taylor discuss: Jill’s experience of having a stroke and what it was like to learn skills she had lostthe importance of connection in recovery and learning (from “fixing” to connecting)the need for sleep and safety in the healing and learning processhow stroke recovery is similar to working with children with special needswhy Jill supports NeuroMovement and how it can help a variety of conditions
The most normal and common response to a child having a challenge or limitation is to try and “fix” the child. However, the human being cannot be “fixed.” It is through learning and the brain creating new possibilities, that the child can move from his or her impossible to the possible.In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss:the ways in which adults try to “fix” children with special needswhat it looks like when you are trying to “fix” and how to choose differentlythe brain is an information system, requiring a different approach what it looks like to “connect” with your child and how connection affects the brainrelated questions from the audience
When a child has special needs, those surrounding and caring for the child are laser focused on trying to help him or her get past their limitations, understandably so. However, have you ever asked yourself: “What is it like to be the child with special needs?” Exploring this question can be transformative for the child, the parent, the caregiver, and the professional.In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss: their experiences using NeuroMovement® with children with special needs and their families how children feel and respond to interventions that are meant to help them what the brain of the child with special needs learns from its experiencescreating the conditions necessary for the brain of most any child to learn and grow with NeuroMovementrelated questions from the audience
The Anat Baniel Method®/NeuroMovement® is an intervention that uses gentle movement to create new connections in the brain. For stroke survivors, NeuroMovment offers a way to tap into the power of neuroplasticity and re-map the neural connections lost in a stroke.
