What Is Right Brain Education?

Right brain education is about developing children to have more

sensitivity, imagination and creativity, other than academic

achievements alone. Its education principles are based upon the

sense of one-ness, cooperation and love.

As for the left brain-centered education, it focus on confrontation and

competition.

According to Professor Shichida (founder of the "Shichida

Method") every child between the ages of zero to three years old,

are believed to be a genius. This is because, the child is able to

absorb or accept information at an amazing rate.

When you want to raise your children differently and effectively, you

must understand how the infant's brain works between ages zero to

three years old.

The most important thing in the beginning of a newborn child’s

education is language, especially vocabulary. The use of flash cards as

a tool is very important. Flash the cards to your child at a fast speed

and they will learn with lightning speed.

The right brain functions at a high speed, where else the left brain

function at a low speed. Both sides of the brain function very

differently. So when you input a lot of information at a very fast

speed, that is when you activate the right brain.

In Shichida classes, flash cards are not only used as tools. There are

other activities such as ESP games, image eye play, eye exercises,

memory games, picture flash cards, singing and dancing, story books,

playing cards and others are used.

Right Brain Schools

The three most popular and established right brain schools are

Glenn Doman, Shichida Method and Heguru.

Glenn Doman is the pioneer in the right brain education. He is the

founder of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential

and began pioneering the field of child brain development since

1940.

He and the institute are known for their pioneering work with brain-

injured children and their early development for well children.

Glenn has authored a lot of books and materials that show parents

how to tutor their babies at home.

Shichida Method schools was founded in Oct 1978 are also in

Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, Australia and

Unites States. Classes that are conducted by them are for the age of

four months to six years. Shichida currently have more than 400

schools in Japan.

Heguru school or HEGL Inc was founded in July 1989 in Japan. They

are at the moment in Japan, Australia and in Malaysia. They are the

biggest right brain development school in Japan, with more than

1,200 students in Tokyo itself.

In July 1997, Heguru founded the “Undulate Speed Reading” or “Wave

Speed Reading”. You can send your child to this school from the age of

four months to twelve years.

How To Teach Your Child?

Before you start teaching you child, the most important thing in right brain education is relationship between you and your child.

So, it is important how you view your child.

The child will grow according to they are being viewed or image portrayed by their parent or teacher.

For example, when a child makes a mistake, the parent should never think or say words like “You are an idiot” or “When this child grows up he/she will not be successful” etc. The child will be what you think and say of him/her.

6 Points On How To View Your Child

1. Look at the strong points and potential

2. Don’t be a perfectionist

3. Don’t compare! Every child has different strength

4. Don’t focus on academic achievement

5. Learn to accept your child as he/she is

6. Don’t expect immediate results

Now let's take a look at what is being taught in right brain schools. Some of the terms I use will be similar to the mention established schools.

Alpha Music

The purpose of Alpha music is to get your child in to state of relaxation mode. The right brain functions best at the alpha wave, semiconscious, in a deep relaxed state.

There are a few ways you can get do that,

1. Taking deep breath and “Make energy ball”. This method is used by Shichida Method and/or

2. Play “Alpha music”

Alpha music is played as an instrumental background music for relaxation and its ideal to be played before or when your child is learning.

Energy Ball Exercises

I would also highly recommend that you do Shichida Method's “Make energy ball” exercise to incorporate with music.

The “energy ball” exercise is to mentally prepare your child before you teach your child.

The purpose of energy ball is to get your child to focus their mental energy.

There are 2 videos you should take a look at.

The first video shows you how the energy ball exercise is done,

Watch Shichida Energy Ball Exercise on youtube

The second video shows “the adult version”.

The video shows how the “Power of Intention” can do. Which is the same as what “energy ball” exercise can do.

Watch Spoon Bending "Power of Intention" on youtube

It may not seem to have any logic doing this exercise, but bear in mind this exercise is specially developed by Shichida.

It is compulsory that this exercise is done in Shichida classes.

Eye Exercise

It’s an exercise to train the eye muscles to scan up and down, left and right and all sorts of direction.

This is to prepare your child for photographic memory exercises and speed reading.

For example, in (figure 1), you can use your finger to point or hold a little toy and move according to the lines given and get your child to use his/her eyes to follow the your finger or toy.

Image Training

The word “image” means visualization or mental picture.

The training is meant to teach your child (at any age) to learn how to be imaginative or to create images.

This training is the foundation of all the other image exercises.

If your child is less than 3 years old, you can guide your child to do this. And if your child is 3 years and above, they can image themselves.

To start with these exercises you must -

1. Create a relaxing environment, away from distractions

2. Get your child to take a deep breath in and out (3 times)

3. Then you can start with the exercises. Imagine you can see a red ball, if you can, put up your hand. OK, put your hand down. Now, can you see a green ball, if you can, put up your hand. Great, put your hand down now.

4. Then, can you see the door to your bedroom. Once you see it, put up your hand. OK, the open the door and got to your room.

5. Now, when I count 3,2,1 you turn off everything and you are back in your class.

6. 3,2,1. You may open your eyes. Welcome back!

There are many other creative ways you can do this exercises, like getting your child to visualize stories from story books as you read to them.

Right brain education teaches your child to see words, pictures and numbers as images.

Flash Cards

In "Shichida Method" ands “Heguru”, they believe flashing cards to

children is not only to give knowledge to them but there are other

purposes -

To activate the right brain

Cards need to be flashed at high speed. It is important because it

gives your child instant memory. Normally every child will learn

with his left brain, but when information is given at high speed, the

right brain's memory is activated and it will grow.

The right brain and left brain will be connected

When flashing cards, you will show the pictures and at the same time

say the words on the cards. The images or pictures will be processed

by the right brain. The words or language are processed by the left

brain. As a result, the child will learn new words through the

activation of the left brain.

After knowing the purpose, you also must know how to flash the

cards. When you flash to your child, try to flash less than one second

per card or as fast as you can.

Flash as many as you can per session, and do it two to three times per

day. You can start with at least 100 cards in the first month and

gradually increase up to 1000 cards.

Make sure you have as much variety of as possible. Do not repeat

the same set of cards in one sitting.

Just in case your child cannot sit through the session, you can

take a short break and then continue flashing.

Mandala

“Mandala” is translated as a “circle” in a classical Indian language of Sanskrit.

It's not just a circle or a basic shape, but it means completeness, and can be seen as a model for the organizational design of life--a universal chart that reminds us of our connection to the infinite which spread out both beyond and within our bodies and minds.

Mandala are used as part of right brain education exercises by Shichida Method, Heguru and other right brain schools.

These exercises are used as part of “Photographic Memory” exercises.

It is to help your child to remember the colors on the Mandala pictures when the pictures are flashed within 5 seconds.

How to use the Mandala pictures?

First, what you need is two pictures of “Mandala”.

One is colored and the other is outlined.

1. You first, get your child to relax by taking a few deep breath and play some alpha music.

2. Flash color Mandala pictures around 5 seconds or less.

3. Then ask your child to close his/her eyes and you say "*Do you see color image with your super eye?"

4. If "Yes", you can ask your child to draw.

Give your child the outlined Mandala picture and color pencils. Just ask your child to draw a stroke of color in each area corresponding to the image he captured.

It is important to PRACTICE many times in order to succeed.

You must flash fast, because the right brain takes in the entire image at a glance and forms an 'after image' that the child sees when he closes his eyes.

This capability to see and retain the 'after image' will improve when practiced over time.

At the beginning your child may say "Mommy, I can't see anything!" Be patient. According to Prof Shichida, the 'after image' will retain for 5 seconds or less initially and gradually build up to 10 seconds or more.

When the 'after image' is retained into a child's mind for more than a minute, even after seeing an object for only a second, he is said to have developed 'Photographic Memory'.

Linking Story

The purpose is to train the child to memorize a group of pictures in sequence.

For example, when your child look at a chart full of pictures, in order to memorize, he or she will take the first image and link to the other images with a story.

In this exercise, the story used to link the images does not make sense and has no logic.

Since “the story” has no logic, the left side brain closes. This is because the left side brain functions based on logic.

For example, if the first picture is a “cow” and the second is “car”. The story could begin with:

The COW drove a CAR… that look like a BIRD…

Once your child memorizes at least 50 pictures, he or she will be able to memorize the pictures in sequence at one glance without the help of words or story.

Speed Reading

There are two types of speed reading.

Right-Brain and Left-Brain speed reading.

For left brain speed reading, students are train to read the words as fast as they can.

For right brain speed reading, students are firstly train to see “images” (i.e. Words, pictures, shapes, patterns). They will be able to read and understand at the same time.

So, by seeing the words as images, makes it possible to read and learn at a super fast speed. This is because there is no need to read and understand the word.

For your child to succeed in speed reading, you must incorporate with other right brain training like flash cards, photographic memory, Mandala and others.

Photographic Memory Exercises

These fun exercises can be in the form of games or puzzles.

The whole idea is to get your child to look at pictures or images as fast as possible in color, photos, number of objects and others at a glance.

Next, your child is supposed to identify the differences of the pictures or objects, which could be the color, position of the object and others

This is to train your child’s right brain and to learn how to memorize in the form of an image of what he or she have seen at a glance.

There are a few types of photographic exercises -

1. quantity memory – to determine the number of objects seen

2. photo memory – to remember the pictures or objects flashed to them

3. color memory – to differentiate and remembering colors flashed

4. space memory – to remember the position of the object being placed on a grid or without grid

5. flash memory – this exercise is done using flash cards

6. and many others.

The exercises mentioned above are the numerous variation used in order to keep the exercises interesting to your child.

Image Eye Play

Is a form of training where your child is trained in their brain’s

ability to capture and hold an image in the mind exactly as it is in

the environment.

For example, you can take an orange colored card with a blue circle,

triangle or square. And get your child to stare at the card for about 30

seconds, then close his eyes.

What he or she will see is an after image.

Your child will see the colors in reverse. The blue circle will be orange

and the card will be blue color.

Practice this everyday and eventually your child will see the card as

the same color.

You need a lot of practice!

The aim of this training is to develop visualization by allowing the

mind to develop clear mental images ,opening the subconscious of

the right brain (creativity, intuition and memory).

Right Brain Education And Technology Advancement

With so much advancement in computer technology, it should make our lives more efficient and organized.

How does this technology advancement benefit right brain education?

In the past, flash cards are flashed by parents, but today more are using e-flash cards, e-books, computer games and other methods to teach their child.

The benefit of e-flash cards and e-books are –

1) No worries of storage spaces. Imagine having a library of flash cards and books in your computer.

2) Teaching your child will be much faster, because your flash cards and books are organized in your computer.

3) When you do flash cards, you can flash at your desired speed to your child. Try flashing cards less than 1 second. It’s not easy.

4) Parental bonding between you and your child can still be achieved. It depends, are you using the computer to flash or the computer is flashing for you to your child.

In right brain education, parental bonding is very important.

You have to make sure the technology advancement is here to assist you

And not take over your job as a parent.

Conclusion

What Parents Need To Know?

Classes conducted by Shichida Method, Heguru, and other right brain schools are normally held once a week.

And what is being taught in the classes, may vary from different schools or country.

Most importantly is,

parents plays the biggest part in right brain education, or you could say education in general.

What can you do as a parent?

You may be feel that training your child is beyond your capability. You

may believe that some special knowledge or skill is involved.

Perhaps you feel that because you are not trained as a teacher or

have a lot of education, you should leave it to the professionals.

I am here to tell you to relax, because it does not require any special

skills you don't already have and a certificate or higher "education"

and does not guarantee any success.

You already have the most important attribute to teach your child :

your love for your children and your dedication to helping them

live happy, productive lives.

To teach your child, make sure -

1. Practice, practice, practice

2. Variations (for example, flash a variety of flash cards and

not always the same cards.)

3. Your child is relaxed. You can put some “Alpha music” to get

your child calm down.

4. You are in a positive mood. Especially when your child is

very young they can feel your “energy” .

5. Make sure you and your child are having lots of fun!

6. When your child is restless, take a short break and

continue later.

Always remember, every child have different strength, talents and

interest.

Some child likes math and some prefer photo memory games. You

can still do all of the exercises done by the right brain schools, but

always focus on your child's strength and talents.

Learning is a never ending journey...

make sure your child feels learning is FUN!!
