Get Sensational Attention (GSA)
A Bit of Background on GSA
An Video Animation Program for Elementary Schools
The GSA process teaches how to develop a new sense, the sense of the Sensory Body (SB). All lessons aim to develop the Sensory Body (SB). To understand some of the science behind the SB, refer to the Scientist page and research on “Body Ownership.”
The SB sense can be adapted to any program, curriculum, research, or class environment. Call us for a free consultation.
The SB is woven throughout the body and guides blindness to access the differences between innate intelligence and self-generated. Physical conversations of sensations are part of the encampment of perception. Being trapped in the fire of habit or recurring cycles of behavior is not always just psychological. What lies between sensation and reasoning is a gateway to material nature.
Perceptions change with the SB because the child can sense the innate intelligence of an action within form. Those who are partial to what they have already learned can become trapped. Medication or modalities of temporary relief are often viewed as the only solution for relief. The entirety of the body-mind is where and how we learn and obtain knowledge, but it requires self-inquiry.
The real treasure of the Sensory Body (SB) lies between the opposites by making opposites unite. Oppositions can be within one’s inner and outer worlds, or between the body and the head. For those who undertake self-inquiry, another way of thinking is obtained. When children learn from the SB, they become kinder and more patient.
The lessons are designed to be flexible and alive. As every good teacher knows, utilizes spontaneous reactions of children, and adjust the course curriculum to the flow those moments.

There is precious opportunity in your children’s lives to learn the Sensory Body (SB). Because cognition is not fully developed, learning the SB is more available. Help them find the SB, and their lives’ trajectory will become more graceful as they age.
With support children can sense the conversations in the physical structure. The guidance of these conversations is learned through the SB is key to their success or failure. The awareness of the SB is taught through movement, specifically, a Feldenkrais® method called, “Awareness Through Movement® (ATM).”
The Wellness Through Movement ATM® lessons integrate the developmental movements, physics of motion, behavioral psychology, and body ownership. Teach the SB young and the treasure will grow as they do.
Guidance of the Sensory Body
Children, more than adults, Learn Through
1. Sensations of the body
2. Changes in the sensations to changes attention span
3. Changes in the sensations to changes character and behavior
As a result, sensations of the body and the changes in these sensations with attention help children feel compassion. This “feeling” is the Sensory Body. It is a feeling of compassion that is not just from a thought but a presence of space. Compassion to circumstances comes from a place where opposing or challenging circumstances pause. The feeling from the body gives thinking time to create a space. This space helps children move beyond reaction and into a third possibility. This “possibility” is not present initially. When compassion becomes available, it opens the heart with the mind.
First, adapt WTM to what you are already doing. For example, Kohala Elementary School adapted the Sensory Body, “No Place Like Home Breath,” into their school virtues program. The WTM Home Breath method to Kohala became the “Pono Breath.” Pono, in Hawaiian, means many things, but in this context, let’s say it means Goodness (with a capital “G”). The breath was changed to the “HA” sound, instead of the “Home” sound. Both sounds are helpful.
Make WTM your own. Adapting it to your school culture and programs is essential to the philosophy of WTM. The programs meant to be easily adapted. The fundamentals of how to use the Sensory Body requires the flexibility to apply what is already learned. Even though each child’s Sensory Body has a uniqueness in the flesh as well as the way the mind works.
