The core objective of the course is to learn techniques and activities to enable you to discover and express your best potential, using all your senses and styles of learning and communication. You will learn the significance of sensory preferences – which eye, ear, hand, foot and style of information processing do you prefer? How does your sensory profile shape your sense of yourself, your natural skills, your challenges and how you relate to the outside world? Develop the skill to draw out this profile and understand its relevance to many areas of daily life. There are a host of practical applications: help yourself and others to enhance learning, relationships and success, manage the effects of stress and provide a sound basis for life choices, based on an awareness of natural gifts. This course is a natural and illuminating companion to the Brain Gym® 101 Foundation Course.

- The positive effect on all aspects of daily life of smooth synchronisation between our eyes, ears, hands, ability to move and processing of sensory information
- Noticing when we have an integrated sensory profile – or not – in different situations is a key to accessing more resourceful states
- The beneficial effect of releasing stress on accessing our inner resources and capacity to make good choices
- Awareness and respect for our sensory preferences can increase understanding of our own and other’s behaviour
- The model of the 3 dimensions of learning – the synthesis of sensing, feeling and thinking – can provide links and insight into our sensory profiles
- Understanding the significance of our own sensory preferences can make us more successful in dealing with other people’s behaviour, encouraging their skills and appreciating their attitudes
