A Paradigm Shift

A shift from thinking of the person as a mechanical system that needs fixing and has a known limit to its potential to thinking of the person as an intelligent, information based system moderated by the brain with infinite possibilities for growth and development and therefore no certain or known limit to its potential.

Enhances the Brain’s Ability to Learn

The perception of differences is the brain’s basic unit of information. ABM provides the conditions that allow the brain to better distinguish differences, enabling it to map the body and to evolve the ability of the person to move, feel, and think.

Provides the Possibility of Transformation in the Whole Person

ABM works on the principle that the human being always works as one system. Improvements come as the brain maps and organizes movement, feeling, emotions, and thinking on an increasingly complex, more skillful level. Positive outcomes are a natural, spontaneous byproduct of the upgrading of the brain and nervous system.

Uses Nine Essentials for Optimal Learning

The ABM practitioner guides the client/student through slow, gentle movements executed with an understanding of the Nine Essentials and close attention to what they feel as they move. The Nine Essentials form the core of the neuromovement approach of the Anat Baniel Method. Incorporating the Nine Essentials into the movements ensures that the client’s/student’s brain has the optimal conditions for learning and growth, as each essential describes one of the brain’s requirements for maximum learning. The Nine Essentials have been validated by recent discoveries in the area of brain plasticity, and they offer immediate, concrete, effective ways to tap into the brain’s enormous potential.
