OVERVIEW
School (or family) wide video-animation program
Learning From the Body to the Brain
Get Sensational Attention (GSA) is a video animation program to introduce children to their “inner-with their outer me” and the Sensory Body (SB). The SB is a sense, yet hidden from awareness. It is a feeling that is the “sense” from a physicalness of compassion. It is the sense that can feel two directions at one time. When the opposing forces of stress meet in the SB, it opens up a third perspective.
The practice sees something it didn’t see before. It often reveals a behavior that occurs not just in children, but also in parents, teachers, researchers, or administrators. The insight reveals a remarkable difference in the situation and why the children are behaving the way they are.
We teach the SB through, first, a fun movement game to learn the “Home Breath.” Once the children learn from the Home Breath, it is guaranteed to save time, improve effective social-emotional learning, and lessen bullying. Children learn about themselves and others from their bodies to their minds. Refer to what the Principal of our pilot school had to say about the Home Breath (Testimonial).

Learning From Inside Out – The Sensory Body
The book helps teachers and parents open the doors to a new sense, the Sensory Body (SB). The SB is a bridge. The “bridge” is a sense. The sense can feel the physicalness of compassion. This “compassion” is not just for others, but for the behaviors unknown to the self. The book introduces how to build the bridge for your children from the feeling sensation of the body to thinking.
This dynamic and interactive series of twelve lessons shows participants how to feel their bodies’ influence on thinking and feeling. The lessons are designed to improve awareness that can help improve in-classroom management, and school culture.
Participants learn to shift their perception from outside to inside, cultivating dual attention from the heart. By enhancing a clearer sense of self with the body, relationships with others, and the outer world come into harmony.
An array of self-observing techniques uses breath, sound, and movement based on the Feldenkrais® Method. Feldenkrais® work develops bodily awareness of mental, emotional, and physical interconnections.
