“"We must be
STILL and STILL MOVING"” . . . . .

“"IMPECCABILITY begins with a single act
that has to be DELIBERATE, PRECISE and SUSTAINED.
If that act is repeated long enough one acquires a sense of
UNBENDING INTENT which can be applied to ANYTHING else.
If that is accomplished the road is clear.
One thing will lead to another until the warrior realizes his full potential."” . . . . Don Juan Matus

"Tone, you are amazing. I can see now what you were talking about.
I had no clue my brain was so dis-integrated
(and I am a yogi, a dancer, ice skater and an artist).
Thank you for your creativity and genius. Wow, I feel honored to know you.
Blessings, good luck, keep creating, it is awesome."... Tatyana Chechuga

"Whether it's between nations or mind and body, integration seems to be a key factor in health.
Using this DVD, produced by a physical therapist, in a few short minutes I was able
to integrate a bilateral movement I had been working on for years with no success.
This information is a perfect complement for anyone seeking mind-body integration
by increasing hemispheric balance in the brain."

Is the doll spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise???
Is she bouncing on her right leg or her left leg???
Keep Looking!
If she spins right & bounces on left leg you are left brain dominant.
If she spins left & bounces on right leg you are right brain dominant.
If she switches legs or directions, seek psychiatric help immediately!!
Better yet! Just balance your brain through Rhythm Therapy & Muscle-Brain Integration!
It's a lot more FUN, QUICKER, CHEAPER and EFFECTIVE!
WHAT IS MUSCLE-BRAIN INTEGRATION & RHYTHM THERAPY ANYWAY?
BENEFITS & MODUS OPERANDI:
Partially learned in
the dream state, a place
where much of the humanity’s guidance
and advancement in knowledge has come, ‘Rhythm
Therapy’ is a specialized
form of Movement
Meditation, a modern
application of ancient technologies along
the
lines of Sufi Dervish dancing, Tai
Chi, Qigong, Yoga and Shamanism.
Rhythm Therapy
is a unique art and science of performing
specific patterns
of
rhythmic whole body movements with
precision, and
grace, and done with the
specific intent to engage ones total attention
sufficiently to to shut out all outside distractions
and allow one to focus ones attention
within. Such focused and conscious attention on
the movements, rhythm and breath serves to curtail the
usual thinking process (ie: the internal dialogue<),
offsetting
the restrictions and limitations imposed by
language, verbalization and conceptualized
thinking. One can thereby attain sufficient
inner silence, stillness
and relaxation to achieve all the
DIRECT BENEFITS of MEDITATION
(as listed below), as well as the
added benefits of
WHOLE BRAIN LEARNING, SENSORI-MOTOR
RE-PATTERNING and
NEURO-MUSCULAR RE-EDUCATION.
These added benefits can
not be accomplished via still
or sitting meditation, only through intricate
rhythmic patterns done with PRECISION and
AWARENESS in MOVEMENT -
- ie: ‘Movement
Meditation’.
IMMEDIATE EFFECTS:
As
the basic level patterns are mastered, one
proceeds to more advanced levels of exercises
by adding other dimensions of difficulty to
the exercises to ensure the sensori-motor
system is always fully engaged, and the
internal dialogue dis-engaged. Forcing both
brain and body (sensori-motor system) to
retain full cognizance and control of
the unique movements
simultaneously allows one to achieve
a state of inner silence more easily and
quickly than in sitting or still meditation
(especially for Westerners). The TOTAL
ATTENTION required in order to perform such
an activity forces the brain into a mandatory
state of non-thinking and the body into a
state of corporal perception where the usual
thinking process has no place or function!
Meditative states of balanced awareness occur
spontaneously when the mind is made clear and
the body energized.
The IMMEDIATE EFFECTS and the RAPID
RESULTS of performing Rhythm Therapy and
Movement Medicine speaks for itself, as
you shall see (or
feel). The effectiveness of the
movements is not measured by the time spent
or the sheer number of repetitions, but by
the feeling
created. On a practical level, as with any
true meditation, the aim is to carry any feeling
of silent balanced awareness, mental clarity,
energy, joy, relaxation or state of well being
achieved during Rhythm Therapy into all
our everyday activities.
PRIMARY GOALS
& BENEFITS
It is not the intention of this program to
compete with the countless exercise and yoga
videos that promote strength,
flexibility, endurance, balance,
etc. For the most effective way to achieve these particular goals,
please click here for info on Intuitive Yoga – The
Original Method.
Though these are also
some of the direct benefits of doing Rhythm
Therapy and Movement Medicine, they are strictly
secondary to the primary
goals and purpose -
which is for the express purpose of ACTIVATING MILLIONS of BRAIN CELLS
& NEURONAL PATHWAYS, BALANCING the R/L HEMISPHERES of the Brain,
achieving a QUIET MIND, WHOLE-BRAIN LEARNING, total SENSORI-MOTOR MASTERY,
and MEDITATION through Movement - plus any of the following practical benefits:
1) to instantly
disengage the internal dialogue
in order to achieve a quiet mind
or inner silence –the primary
pre-requisite to shifting into alternative modes of
perception or heightened
states of awareness. That is, the
ability to experience or interpret sensory
data without the use of the usual influence,
interventions or interpretations of the
rational or thinking mind;
2) to strengthen the powers of
concentration, discipline, will, intent and conscious
attention (as opposed to the
usual UN-conscious attention we function with
in everyday life). Conscious attention is
not simply total concentration, but it is
distinguishable as having the awareness of an
objective observer – what is known
as ‘witness
consciousness’
in yoga, ‘ mindfulness’
in Zen and the 'second attention'
of Shamanism.
3) to promote physical and mental states of well-being ,
4) to cultivate,
store and re-distribute ENERGY
in the body,
5) to restore balance to
the autonomic nervous system, helping us break
the habits 'hurry-worry' and always being
in the stress response ('fight or flight' - making it a novel and fun way to accomplish STRESS & DEPRESSION MANAGEMENT
6) ACTIVATES millions of the
countless brain cells that lie IN-active or dormant,
7) to facilitate consciousness and heightened awareness,
8) to repattern &
reprogram our neuro-muscular system by creating new
sensori-motor pathways & revamping
the older inefficient ones that are causing
musculo-skeletal dysfunction, pain and
inefficiency of movement;
9) to enhance and regain our
sensori-motor control,
balance and
coordination by using our kinesthetic
senses to their limits - then going beyond that limit.
10) Rhythm Therapy is an
ideal and rapid track system
for
facilitating WHOLE BRAIN learning &
functioning by balancing and
integrating: (a) the right
with the left hemispheres of
the brain, and the linear and logical with
the intuitive and psychic functions of the
mind, (b) the frontal lobes
(focus and concentration), (c) the
newer brain functions (cerebral
cortex and abstract thought) with the
instinctive functions of the old
brain (midbrain and brainstem).
11) Rhythm Therapy and Muscle-Brain Integration is also the ideal preventative and remedial measure
for clumsiness, poor balance
& coordination,
dyslexia, Attention Deficit Syndromes,
poor memory, mental decline and other learning disabilities
and physical developmental challenges in both
children and adults.
