Right brain training Part 2: Image Play

Image Play
Start the session with:
1) Deep breathing & normal breathing (3x)
2) Energy balls (relaxation exercise)
3) Praise the child’s good points

Example 1:
-         Lie down with eyes closed & pretend to sleep
-         Take deep breaths, exhale slowly and flatten your tummy
-         Then inhale and swell out your tummy like a big balloon
-         Repeat this breathing 3 times then back to normal breathing
-         Imagine you’re a puppy. You’re at the gymnastic hall. You wave to mommy who’s sitting at the corner. You were smiling away & you are very happy because you like the gymnastic teacher and your cute little gymnastic friends.
-         You can open your eyes slowly and see a corner of the room. You can see that you’re in your gymnastic hall with your cute friends and loving teacher. Everybody take a mat and put them on the floor.
-         Now, you can see everybody sitting in front of the teacher. Raise your hand if you can see them. OK, put down your hand.
-         You stretch like teacher and your friend stretch their body too.  Could you tell me how it is like?
-         Well, you are coming back to your seat. And close your eyes. When I count to 3, you will come back to yourself. 1,2,3.

Example 2:
-         Today we’ll play in a music class.
-         Lie down and close your eyes
-         Deep breathing 3 times and back to normal breathing
-         Imagine you’re little teddy. You’re in the Opus music room. This is a place where all the music instruments are kept. All your friends sit in a circle, in front of your music teacher. Everybody is excited and happy because teacher is going to give you a music instrument. What is teacher giving you today?
-         What is going to happen? Your image can take you anywhere you want.
-         Remember what you see in your image and tell me what happened when you come back. I am going to stop talking for a while.

Right brain training Part 1: Senses play

<><>
Senses Play covers Telepathy, Clairvoyance, Hand Reading
Ability and Precognitive Ability.


Before starting the games below, we need to do with the
child:
- deep breathing, energy ball, praise child's good points.
1) Telepathy (mother knows the answer)
a) Animal cards -Place 5 cards face up infront of the child, 
    place 5 cards face down infront of mother.
- mother picks 1 card & stares at it intensely, sees the image
  on   her brain, says - from among the 5 cards, pick up the
  same card that mother has in her hand now
b) Guessing mothers mind
- mother and child face each other - get child to guess shapes,
  colours, animal, transportation vehicles etc that's in mothers'
  mind
2) Clairvoyance (mother doesn't know the answer)
a) Identifying cards
'- Place 5 cards face down infront of the child. Ask the child
  to guess, without looking at the card, the mothers points to
b) What is in the box
'-put 1 ball in a box, out of a possible five colours.Guess the
  colour without touching the ball.
c) recollection of cards game - find the matching pair.
d) blindfolded game
-once a & b are 100% succesfull, do blindfold game. Have
 an object or map placed infront of the child without him
 touching the object and ask the child to guess.
e) Catch mummy game '-blind fold the child
3) Hand Reading Ability
a) Guessing colour
- at 1 side of a completely sealed cardboard box, make a
  round hole just right for a hand holding a ball. Put 5 balls
  inside.Guess the colour before the child takes out the ball.
b) Card play
Lay 10 cards face down infront of the child. Have him touch
the card one by one and guess the colour of the card. Animal
cards can be used as well
c) What is written on paper
On a piece of a square paper 2 cm each sides, write 1 alphabet.
Wrap up into a ball and hand it to the child. Ask him to put
the paper to his ear, or tuck under his armpit and guess what
is written on the paper
-child will know the letter as it will appear on the area in front
of his special eye
4) Precognition ability - to predict what is going to happen
a) Guessing the weather - have the child predict the next
  day's weather
b) Guessing the card
Guess the order of the next day's five cards and write his
prediction down. Then the next day, cut the cards well, line
them up face down and then 1 by 1 turn them over to see if
they agree with the order written down the day before.
Suggest to the child that what he is trying to guess about the
future will be seen as an image by the special eye.

Right brain training for kids

Shichida suggests that we do home practice with our children the below everyday.

1) Senses play
2) Image play
3) Memory play
4) Speed Play - Flash card
5) Speed Play - Dot card
6) Eye Training
7) Music play
8) Reading or Writting Practice

It's said that we can complete all the above within 15 minutes. However, I failed to find time and energy to do any of the above. Since I'm working and have very little time for ZY and JK, I came up with a new idea. I'm spreading the 7 activities into 7 days. I'll write down the activities for each game in my next blog.
