Brain Training New Pathways: Waking up the Paralyzed Body Part II by: Shanti Medina
This is Part II of a 3-part Neurosculpting® Institute Video Blog documenting the transformational journey of one woman’s choice and courage to use Neurosculpting® brain training to enrich her life and look beyond her limitations to know grace in the human condition. Part I of this amazing journey can be found here: Brain Training New Pathways: Waking Up the Paralyzed Body Part I
Watch as Heather Griego’s courageous journey continues to awaken her paralyzed body in this short 4 minute video. Witness as she regains the pinching motion for the first time after being guided through a simple Neurosculpting® brain training practice for mobility and control with Lisa Wimberger, Founder of the Neurosculpting® Institute and author of Neurosculpting: A Whole-Brain Approach to Heal Trauma, Rewrite Limiting Beliefs, and Find Wholeness
Heather’s hard work and dedication in following the simple principles and practices of Neurosculpting® has led to her ability, after only 3 additional sessions with Lisa, to hold her own cell phone and pick up small objects with her fingers. These simple tasks that we often take for granted in our life, empower Heather to enrich her life and find grace in the human condition by mapping to new pathways for mobility of her fingers.
“This is a whole new chapter. I have embraced my legs so much and I just didn’t know how to connect with my fingers. I am ready!” declares Heather, smiling ear to ear.
Want to learn more about Neurosculpting® brain training?
In simple terms, Neurosculpting® is a 5-step meditation process, created in 2007, that can strategically help an individual release the grip of old patterns and entrain their brain to create new and more supportive patterns, habits and behaviors. Neurosculpting® brain training teaches practitioners how to engage and self-direct their brain to support stress management and emotional down regulation. This empowers the brain’s ability to transform. Lisa Wimberger developed this tool to save her own life and heal from chronic seizures after a lightning strike at age 15. These very same practices supported her emotional stability as a single mother on food stamps after a divorce.
You may be asking, “What’s the trick?” It’s simple, yet it takes intention. Neurosculpting® down-regulates the hyper-arousal stress states of the brain while simultaneously up-regulating the higher executive functioning parts of the brain. According to neuroscience, this specific dynamic is a state of optimized and stress-free learning; literally optimizing and training your brain to create new neural pathways of health and well-being.
Here are the 5 steps:
Step 1: Down-regulate flight/fight/freeze response to calm the nervous system
Step 2: Enhance activity in the higher executive functioning of the brain
Step 3: Increase activity and communication between the right and left hemispheres of the brain
Step 4: Imprint the meditation for easy identification and replication in day-to-day activities
Step 5: Choose a name for your meditation
