A human's equilibrium law resides in the inner ear. Although small in size, the organ has profound sway on our physical, emotional, and thinking state. In expanding to the functions of balance, the inner ear is also the center hub for all sensory input. Moreover, the inner ear is the pre-processing center of sensory facts for the brain.
Because the nervous law plays an leading role in all areas of our corporeal and emotional lives, certain changes can be gained from certain equilibrium training, supervised by the inner ear.
Balance training is task-specific. For example, knowing how to ride a motorcycle does not make one ready to ice skate, or roller blade, or walk the tightrope.
Tightrope walking is a very intense and difficult equilibrium operation to master, in general because it physically places the left side of our body on the left side of the rope, and the right side of our body on the right of the rope. The diameter/width of the rope is that tiny area over which equilibrium must be established and maintained.
Balance training, which simulates tightrope balancing, does what cannot be done otherwise. It necessitates that the left and right brain hemispheres communicate with each other-without overpowering one another.
The left-brain is in operate of the right side of the body, while the right brain controls the left side of the body. One presume we have two halves of one brain is because of sheer divergence of the traits. Just because the two halves live in one head, does not mean they want the same thing, or that they see eye-to-eye, or that they coordinate their desires straight through some non-existent third party. Why do you think citizen get conflicted and stuck trying to settle their dilemmas? The two brain halves often compete for dominance. That's why equilibrium on the tightrope is so hard to maintain. But what can gaining this equilibrium do for us?
For example, we all know citizen who are free spirits, and very artistic, and freely do things. They probably are good at assorted arts, playing musical instruments, singing, dancing, or painting, etc. This set of skills shows pronounced dominance of the right brain. citizen who have a pronounced left-brain dominance, like to have control, structure, discipline, rules, and logic in their life. They probably read many books, prefer things be spelled out to them, figuratively and literally. They get upset when something is out of order, when person doesn't do what they should do. They would prefer a world made up of even and symmetrical squares that can authentically be manipulated. When they spend a lot of time dealing with one shape, giving them a distinct shape would probably confuse and befuddle them. Likely they are not very emotionally savvy, because emotions reside in the right brain, while logic, language, and thoughts reside in the left brain.
Balancing that simulates walking on a tightrope, takes that hemisphere divergence and the desire for dominance, and gets it under control. Using our corporeal body, we place definite demands on the brain, and the brain learns. Slowly, but it learns. When you train with the law that simulates a tightrope, you teach the two halves of the brain to collaborate. You train them not to compete for dominance.
You make the more excellent and faster side a wee less dominant. At the same time, you make the less excellent and slower side have a bit more oomph. This is done straight through definite demands that you place on your body, such as trying to assert equilibrium while you place one foot in front of another, on a very narrow and rounded walking surface.
The dominance of one brain hemisphere over other leads to a life that is very rich in one area, but is poor in the other. A person with a dominant left brain, will probably be an intellectual, who reads a lot, who follows rules and schedules. But chances are this person is probably bankrupt when it comes to matters of emotions, compassion, artistic skills, the capability to relax, or dream in color.
On the other hand, a person with the dominant right brain, will probably be very artistic, emotionally savvy, and in touch with his or her emotions, and ordinarily can help others with emotional problems. This person can probably dance, or sing, or play a musical instrument, but don't expect equally high carrying out marks when it comes to keeping commitments and schedules, as well as maintaining logic and coherence in what they do or say.
I don't have scientific proof for this, and I don't know if current technology can offer such proof, reconsider this. Use your knowledge, and your own coarse sense. We all know that Add and Adhd are due to the brain not working fast enough. For this, citizen take medication, which is an synthetic stimulant. My request then is: If a lot of very talented, even gifted individuals have Add, how is it that their brain is not working fast enough?
The best request is: which hemisphere is not working fast enough? When a person, young or not, cannot read for more than five minutes; cannot keep their focus on the teacher; want to leave the class before the bell rings, or are often late to classes-it's the left hemisphere that is slacking, not the right. Do you see my point? Yet, kids and adults take pills that stimulate both the left and the right hemispheres, just so the left hemisphere would pick up the speed.
No pills exist that can make only one definite brain hemisphere work faster. If there were, we would be treating behavioral and character flaws with medication. Since we are not there yet, we use medication that stimulates both hemispheres.
When one side dominates:
- How do you expect a person to keep the schedule, pay constant concentration to the teacher, or do homework for any hours? They are filled with artistic expressions, like music, dancing, or singing, and with emotions, like joy, or sadness, or envy, or longing.
- How can they result rules and be obedient when they hear music in their heads so loud they cannot hear anything else?
This is where the tightrope-style training is going to authentically address the problem: slow down the overactive part of the brain, and stimulate the underactive part. Here is how. Falling down is one of a human's biggest fears. That's why balancing on the tightrope-style expedient creates a boost of energy, and gives the brain some additional speed in processing things to help it deal with the threat of losing equilibrium and falling down. Since we physically force our body to remain balanced on top of that tightrope, it is requisite that the two brain hemispheres communicate without overpowering one another. The extra energy and brain speed helps us deal with the threat of losing equilibrium and falling, makes the two hemispheres work faster, but not just faster, equally faster.
Such equilibrium training is needed for those who suffer from Ptsd and associated high-emotion symptoms. Those who have faced the ugliest of what humans are capable of doing, are overwhelmed with emotions and memories that wouldn't go away, haunting them day and night.
They take antidepressant drugs and medication for anxiety, and for psychosis. The medication's purpose is to stop the scary episodes, but what else is it also stopping? all things else that is normal and good, that's what. In order to sell out or remove the episodes, the flashbacks, the nightmares, the hallucinations, the meds turn a person into a living soulless zombie who cannot appreciate the world and house colse to him. On medication, he cannot feel, have emotions, or interact with others as he used to. These citizen feel less, care less, enjoy less; in short, they are less alive. They come to be indifferent to things, to people, to family, and to life itself.
Did their medication help? Yes, it stopped or reduced the scary episodes, but it also drastically changed other things in their lives.
Their doctors might naturally say: That's a side result of the drugs. Why do doctors keep treating these symptoms with medication that fixes one problem, but creates two new ones? Because currently, it is the appropriate way to treat such problems. After any years in healing school, doctors learn to result what is accepted, trusted, and reliable.
It's all well and good, but do you know that of all healing specialties, I could not find any degree for equilibrium functions in the inner ear? Forget about the degree, there aren't even any courses about equilibrium functions. Do you know why? Because equilibrium is too broad, too encompassing, too pervasive, and because it is too deep.
Balance is studied as part of the nervous system, but it should be the other way around. equilibrium is the first sensory organ that develops in the fetus. In many life forms, equilibrium is the only brain for that life form. The nervous law grows out of the law of balance, not the other way around.
We should study balance, and learn about the nervous law that grows out of it. Yet, we don't. Also, if something is wrong with balance, you don't see surgeons fixing things, because the equilibrium law is too delicate and too involved to mess with safely.
Brain surgeries were done even in the prehistoric times. And the patients lived afterwards. But to this day, surgeons shy away from performing surgical procedures that involve the semi-circular canals of the organ of balance. Even blood vessels don't come close to it because pulsating blood flow will originate too much disturbance for the delicate organ. Perhaps the complexity of this construct is the very presume why doctors even sidestep any discussions (and surgeries) about the role of the equilibrium organ in our lives.
Maybe because I did not spend all the time it takes to come to be a psychiatrist, I am not conditioned to sidestep this issue. I'm a previous engineer, without conditioning to bypass an issue because it's too involved or too delicate. I search for it for what it does, and find ways to make use of it. While I admit that I don't have a clue about the intricacies of the subject matter, I also admit that what I know is plentifulness sufficient for me to predict that tightrope-style equilibrium training will come to be the panacea for many maladies that afflict mankind.
Our country has been at war for many years. The stream of wounded and emotionally afflicted soldiers is growing with each passing year. Yet fixing their issues is relegated to heavy medication and/or talk therapy. The therapists fail more than they succeed. Soldiers hate it when they are made to re-live the brutal events time and again in the hopes that their conscience grows callous. Yet from Alcoholics Anonymous to behavior therapy clinics, all know that treating Ptsd symptoms can only be done by teaching the patients new patterns of behavior.
They also know that even brains that have holes in them are capable of studying new patterns of behavior, yet show me one practitioner who does this successfully. They can't seem to understand that reliving that negative situation, by necessity, recalls all the emotions they experienced when that event occurred. Emotions dictate how long and how vividly we remember what we remember. By having a sick person recall the event, the repetition makes the event even more memorable. How can you teach new patterns of behavior when you use old emotions that made it "memorable" in the first place?
Do you see? One does not need to be a healing physician to consideration something is wrong with this approach.
Put the sick person on a narrow equilibrium beam, with one foot in front of another. originate the corporeal conditions that necessitate the brain hemispheres to collaborate with each other on the same level. Here, you just introduced a new pattern of behavior. Why is this so hard to understand? Un-complicate things.
Some citizen preach that when a "possibility" isn't being tried, result the money. Where will the money flow? Who will advantage from a cured you? Will the physician benefit? Will his family? Doctors are not paid based on end result. They are paid for the services rendered. The more services they render, the more money they make. The victorious resolution from those services does not give them a bonus. It gives them nothing.
That's why doctors would tell you not to listen to this crap called equilibrium training. How can they charge for equilibrium training when patients can do it at home, without any supervision, without any monitoring, without their help? They can't charge for that. So doctors or hospitals, or pharmaceutical fellowships will not recommend or endorse it. But that's okay, I don't riposte to them, but to a higher authority. Plus I still believe most doctors will do the right thing for their patients, once they know for sure what that right thing is.
Analyze and search for what I'm asking. Basically, it is to put one foot in front of another, and stand balancing on the narrow oval face of the equilibrium beam. As a child, you walked on the edge of the curb without anything telling you to do so. It came to you naturally. Now, when no one can see you, do you climb on the knee-high wall of flowerbeds and try to equilibrium walk on it? Or, do you still walk on the edge of the curb? If you attach a list of benefits to this activity, can anything Perhaps turn for the worse?
This is a true story. An older lady was spellbinding about my equilibrium beam, and wanted to try. I held her hand. Then she let go of my hand and proceeded to equilibrium walk on her own. She did it a few times, thanked me, and left. The next day, she found me, and with a serious face asked, "Do you know what your equilibrium beam did to me?"
"What?"
"For the first time in many decades, I remembered my childhood, what I did, where I was, and who was with me. I conception I had forgotten those years for good. You brought back memories from my childhood, of being young and happy. Thank you so much."
What happened to that woman is perfectly clear. At some time in her childhood, she stopped equilibrium walking on the railroad tracks, and kept herself away from any situations that were similar to the well-known tightrope-walking style balancing. Her life naturally excluded those elements.
Now when she stepped on my equilibrium beam, she recreated in her brain that sensation of togetherness, collaboration, and non-competitive carrying out of her left and right hemispheres that only tightrope-style balancing provides.
From her childhood until the day we met, she never had the opportunity to caress those definite feelings. When she balance-walked on my equilibrium beam, she accessed the cue to her memories that surrounded those activities. As stated earlier, equilibrium is very definite and task oriented. I'm sure that during the many decades of her life, she had come over divergence balancing situations, but only now, with the tightrope-style balancing, did it furnish the memory the missing cue. equilibrium walking on my equilibrium beam reminded her of equilibrium walking on the railroad tracks near her childhood house-and the time when she was happy.
Should we be involved with recalling happy memories from our childhood years? Could something bad happen if we do? No, this operation recalls only happy memories. Why? Because faces of kids and adults light up in a smile every time they put one foot in front of another, and balance, tightrope-style. Any operation that brings out smiles will only be of recalled memories that also contain smiles.
Yes, analyze and search for what I'm asking you to do: equilibrium walking, just like you did when you were a kid. Kids all over the world do this on their own, without anything prompting them-because it comes naturally. Maybe mum Nature has built equilibrium walking into us, and we naturally do what nature wants us to do. How do You feel about curb walking? What bad could Perhaps come of this if we start using it as therapy?
It would be great if a physician wrote you a "prescription" for curb walking or other tightrope-style equilibrium walking, just because he knew it would help you-and had No side affects. He'd advantage (only) by having a happier and healthier patient. Fantasize going back to that happiest of times when we had the free time and lack of stress of being a kid. When we were not encumbered with rules and assurance restrictions, when we were not told, "Don't do that, you look silly," "That isn't covered by your insurance," "Here, try this med to help with your concentration Deficit issues, or with your Ptsd issues."
Remember the golden rule of habit change? "To turn a habit, you must keep the old cue and deliver the old bonus but insert a new routine." Well, how hard would it be to insert a new routine, placing one foot in front of other on a equilibrium beam? First do it with the equilibrium beam, then naturally touch the toes of your left foot to the heel of your right foot, and you resurrect that sensation of being calm, together, and in control. You can do this even as you're driving, should the need call for it.
Encourage patients to try to assert equilibrium on a tightrope-stile beam for an hour, for 90 hours in 90 days. Here is your proven recipe for success from the A.A. Guidebook.
Okay, arms out to your side, one foot in front of the other, walk that equilibrium beam. Every person falls off at first, but when you find that key to your balance, it will make you beam so broadly the whole world could see it.
When is the last time you joyfully said, "It feels like I'm a kid again?"
When is the last time you joyfully said, "I feel good. I feel happy?"
