2 LEAP-FT 3 LEAP-Foundation Training 3 - Glial Cells (LEAP-FT 3) Integrating the Second Half of the Nervous System !
There are only two (2) cell types in the Nervous System – Glial Cells & Neurons.
While Glial Cells out-number Neurons by 40 to 100 times, it was believed they only provided a matrix and passive support for Neuron function, and Neurons did all the Neurotransmission! However, recent discoveries show that the Glial Cells – the other half of the Nervous System - are actively involved in Neurotransmission as well as Neurons!
In LEAP-FT 3 you will learn the Glial cells are involved in :
* forming the Blood Brain Barrier,
* Scarring
* Environmental toxins
* Memory
* Brain Immune system
* Brain Environmental regulation
* Brain tumors and imbalances in the brain
* Cerebral spinal fluid production/distribution & the cerebral spinal fluid brain barrier
* transduction of mental decisions into neuronal action
* nerve repair and wound healing,
* myelination in the Peripheral and Central Nervous Systems
* Hormone effects
* Emotional stress effects on Glial Cell Neurotransmission, and brain synchrony.
So, you can have 100% Neuronal Integration and little Glial Cell Integration or vice versa. Up to this point, LEAP had only been doing Neuronal Integration when both Neuronal & Glial Cell Integration is complete – you get some truly remarkable results not possible before! 		4 days

Each system is covered in-depth and how each system relates to our physical, emotional and mental performance. Learn more in-depth Acupressure Formatting to access stress and balance these important basal brain functions so important for our survival and learning.
Topics include;
* Introduction to Brainstem Anatomy & functions of regions including the Reticulating Activating System (RAS).
* Learn to format & balance Commissures;
- Anterior Commissure, Amygdala Commissure, Anterior Thalamic Nucleus & Hippocampal Commissure
* Understand how to work with Emotions-Trust & Appreciation & Fear of Failure/Success with the Commissures.
* The PVSS - controlling our behavioural and physiological responses to Fight/Flight and where we store past trauma and Deep Survival Switching.

9 LEAP-FT 1 LEAP-Foundation Training 1 - Brain Integration & Stress (LEAP-FT 1) A powerful start to LEAP providing you with an understanding of the LEAP Model of Brain Integration, an introduction to neurology, overview of structure and function of the Brain, learn how to work with the Amygdala the Sentinel of our Survival System, and unique to LEAP, is learning to uncover & resolve Survival Switching and Deep Survival Switching with Psychological Reversal and discover the Celestial Circuit, a totally unique LEAP procedure that was developed by Dr. Krebs, provides a broad-based balance of the energetic & brain structure and functions, integrating and balancing many areas of brain function in one balance.

Gain an introduction to :
* Brain structure and function
* Gestalt and Logic “Lead” functions
* The Amygdala Fear/Pain Control Circuit (our Survival Circuits).
* Deep Survival Switching – the cause of delayed language development, Psychological Reversals and Conflicts
* Blocked Corpus Callosum Pathways that can cause the loss of Brain Integration and affect our ability to resolve challenges rather than react to them
* Celestial Circuit – under stress, we sometime split off or dissociate so it can be difficult to locate imbalances. Aligns all our energy structures so we balance to a core, stable energy system

LEAP-FT 1 Brain Integration & Stress is a must for all general Kinesiologists to enhance your results in clinical practice.		 4 Days

11 LEAP-FT 4 LEAP- Foundation Training 4 - Mental & Emotional Modulatory Systems (LEAP-FT4) The cerebellum is as much an Emotional and Mental Modulatory Structure as it is a Motor Modulatory Structure.
Gain deeper undertansding on the Three Brain Systems that control our behavior and reflect the development of control systems for Survival at all three (3) levels of “survival.
Learn how the Emotional and Mental modulatory roles of the Cerebellum plays in brain function at both the mental and psycho-emotional levels.
Dive deep into Emotional Modulatory Circuits which are driven by subconscious Limbic areas such as the Anterior Cingulate Gyrus (ACG) and how it modulates the expression of "triggered” survival emotions (e.g., Fear or Anger) via “adjusting” the expression of their survival emotions to meet social-cultural “norms”.
Understand the pivotal role Mental modulation of survival emotions work with the Anterior Cingulate Gyrus (ACG) and Prefrontal Cortices, including the Dorsal Lateral Frontal Cortices (DLFC) on the ability to “think” and “reason”.

* The anatomy the Reticulating Activating System (RAS) and RAS nuclei and along their primary functions
* The RAS for maintaining arousal, vigilance, and waking consciousness and role in modulatory functions
* The Anatomy and Connectivity of the Cerebellum
* Emotional Modulatory Systems that modulate and regulate the expression of emotional experiences
* The Mental Modulatory Systems that modulate and regulate the expression of mental processing

2 101 Movement Based Learning: the Building Block Activities MBL This course offers an in-depth look at some basic patterns of neurological and motor development and is a good basis for further training in reflex integration such as Brain Gym® or rhythmic movement training with RMTi.

Participants will learn how to:
• do the seven Building Block Activities (BBAs)
• assess the needs of someone who is differently abled
• develop a program using the Building Block Activities
• evaluate the effectiveness of the program, and
• make modifications when necessary.

The Building Block Activities can be very effective in the learning or re-learning of natural, normal developmental movement patterns. Participants will leave the course with new skills that optimize learning and performance in all areas of life and they will find that these tools are immediately applicable in home, school and therapeutic settings.

This course provides excellent applications for a variety of mental and physical challenges including and yet not limited to, autism, cerebral palsy, attention deficit disorders, dyslexia, Angelman’s Syndrome, Down Syndrome, speech impairment, brain injuries, blindness, deafness, impairments caused by strokes, epilepsy and/or developmental delays.

Open to all.
3 170 Brain Gym for Special Needs Providers** SP This 32-hour experiential course provides an in-depth study of how to use Brain Gym® with children and adults, with specific adaptations for those who have special needs or are differently-abled. These modifications will aid parents, teachers, caregivers and health professionals in their work with people who have special needs.

There is emphasis on how to determine which Brain Gym movements/activities to use by looking at the needs of the child/adult through the lens of the three dimensions of learning. Participants will learn how to assess the needs of the child/adult, develop a program to meet those needs, evaluate the program, and modify as learning and growth occurs.

Participants will leave the course with new skills that optimize learning and performance in all areas of life and they will find that these tools are immediately applicable in home, school and therapeutic settings. This course provides excellent applications for a variety of mental and physical challenges including and yet not limited to, autism, cerebral palsy, attention deficit disorders, dyslexia, Angelman’s Syndrome, Down Syndrome, speech impairment, brain injuries, blindness, deafness, impairments caused by strokes, epilepsy and/or developmental delays.

Open to all.

**This is a course in the Brain Gym curriculum and is required to become a Movement Based Learning Instructor.
4 401 Movement Based Learning Teacher Training MBLTT This course prepares the participant to become a Licensed Movement Based Learning Instructor who is authorized to teach MBL 101: Building Block Activities.

Prerequisites: MBL 101, MBL 170
