The Chi Machine Integrates The Brain & Body Continued...


Back To Front Dimension
Back to front dimension has to do with concentration, focus, and the ability to retrieve information from the back of the brain and bring it up to the frontal lobes for further processing or expression.
Cross or Mixed Dominance
Over 50% of the learning disability population is cross or mixed dominant, which can cause confusion and disorganization, especially in the homolateral state and especially for learning fine motor skills. The person is dominant with the hand on one side of the body and the eye and/or ear on the other.
Cerebrospinal Fluid
The flow of cerebrospinal fluid through natural movement and breathing reflexes of the body is the desired state. When the body reflexes are working properly, the natural movement of the feet, calves, sacrum, and occiput all create a gentle, pumping action on the cerebrospinal fluid. The cerebrospinal fluid is pumped throughout the central nervous system. The cerebrospinal fluid acts as a shock absorber, removes toxins, transports hormones and nutrients, and cools the temperature of the brain so that it can work to its optimal potential. The cerebrospinal fluid is only circulated efficiently when it is pumped by this fluid movement of the body. When the cerebrospinal fluid is blocked, the attention, centering, and left-brain/right-brain integration energy flow can become blocked.
Laterally Integrated/Homolateral
The laterally integrated person is someone who has learned how to use his two hemispheres together, as a whole system; the homolateral or "switched off" person is someone who has yet to use more than one small part of his consciousness at one given time. Our experiences determine how integrated we become. Unfortunately, because of the homolateral behaviors and attitudes in our society, most of us do not realize the level of integration available to us. Instead of the spontaneous, joyous life we could have as human beings, we function as limited machines in controlled and rigid patterns. The disabilities and "dys-eases" that people experience are symptoms of failure to achieve the integrated state. After one learns to use the whole brain, disabilities start to disappear.
The Brain
In order for the right and left brain to work in integrated fashion, the two brain hemispheres are interconnected by the corpus callosum, an intricate bundle of nerve fibers. In infancy, a complex system of switches is developed during the first few months of life. Ideally, as we first creep and then crawl, we begin to synchronize and integrate information so that the two hemispheres can work together through life in harmony and coordination. One hemisphere can take over for the other and can also operate on its own side to process a given task. To learn a new task easily, both sides of the brain need to be involved in the operation.
The right brain hemisphere controls the left side of the body and the consciousness of the left eye and ear. Likewise, the left brain hemisphere controls the right side of the body and the right eye and ear. The nerves to the muscles and sense organs cross over from the controlling brain hemisphere. When one side of the brain is in conrol, the other side either cooperates and coordinates its movements with the controlling hemisphere, or it may "switch off" and block integration.
