Service to Others (video)




Reaching Out!  
Helping People!



Wellness is moving beyond one’s needs helping others in the community.  What a pleasure speaking to Rotary 100 in Phoenix Arizona about ways to optimize the body-brain through movement and exercise.  Around 150 members and guests actively participated in a lively series of activities showing how to enhance body-brain function.  A group of volunteers led the moving Body-Brain Boogie overview (above) and the spirited Rotary Cheer.  Without any rehearsal, they did a rousing job.  Rotary 100 is an exemplary organization generously reaching out to help others locally and around the world.

Body and Brain Cell Dance (video)

Show brain cells working best through movement and exercise

Follow a sequence of gestures showing how movement and exercise help produce new neurons (neurogenesis), extend neural networks (dendrites and receptors sites), generate more genetic expression, produce more myelin on axons for faster body-brain transmission and make synapses smile.


Get a leg-up on current research with more detailed body-brain cell dances coming soon. Make this science come alive movin' and groovin' along!

Intelligence of Play (video)


Real playing is how real learning takes place!

Building the foundation of intelligence through play is the subject of a videotaped interview with Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of Magical Child. Permanent neural patterning involved in learning is established through play. The absorbent mind of the child, observing and becoming part of the universe builds the child’s identity and connection to the world through thought, feeling and action. This happens through play.

Other videos and articles related to play, learning and intelligence are available on the Touch the Future website.

Exercise a Happy New You!

2009 is the Time to Create a Happy New You!

Imagine -- you are continually revising your molecular self. Sounds strange. New experiences can create new neural networks and communicating neurochemicals that change the way your body brain thinks, feels and responds... for better or worse.

I am so excited. New research reports that Nerve Growth Factors (BDNF, VEGF, IGF-1, etc.) are produced through exercise. Our Body Brain Boogie Blog will report this research, explaining how you and others can enhance your living and learning potential through physical activity. Be sure to send questions. ideas, articles and links to move our search forward. 2009 is the time.

Thanks for being a vital part of this exciting exploration!
