The Five Principles of Edu-K apply to so much more than a simple balance…they are really life lessons.
1. Draw Out: Intelligence Is Inborn ~
Truly understanding and appreciating the individuality of each person has changed the way I live my life. The unique timing and pace for receiving and expressing life’s experiences is a gift given to each of us.
2. Focus: Attention Follows Intention ~
Rather than simply “going through the motions”, I can pause and direct my focus as I experience all life brings to me.
3. Notice: We Learn What We Actively Experience ~
Refining my observation skills has allowed me to recognize and celebrate growth— from the obvious to the subtle.
4. Move to Learn: Growth Is a Search for Balance, Imbalance a Search for Growth ~
While I am passionate about the specific movements within the Brain Gym® program, I know learning occurs when there is movement.
5. Interconnect: Each of Us Is Affected by Every Other ~
When interacting with others, I can switch between teaching and learning, between receiving and expressing. I am empowered to choose dependence, independence and interdependence.
