BALANCED BRAIN ~ THRIVING CHILD

Kim Lowack

Starting Snow Angel - phase 1

Snow Angels are a continuation of the Spinal Galant Reflex integration and should be completed as follows until you reach the second video demonstration of the movement.

Technique: Slowly move the arms and legs in an open and up direction at the same time such that they reach the endpoint at the same time and synchronize. Continue in unison on the way down as well.

**EXTRA HELP- In the first video you see the boy moving in a robotic manner, he is counting to 10 and precisely moving the arms and legs to land on the count of 10 at the top and bottom.  This is VERY important.  I suggest that you count to 3 with the arms before starting the legs, making sure to be in the letter "T" position with the arms at the count of 5.

When we have an ADHD brain- it does everything fast, so moving slowly is very difficult for them.  So please do not let them show you a fast snow angel (such as in video #2) and move on.  We are purposely making the brain coordinate and synchronize in a slow manner first and then, and only then, do you move to the smoother snow angel movement.

Frequency:

  • 1-2 x daily
  • 6 cycles (up and down is 1 cycle)
  • can be counted out as 10 count up to the top and 10 count down

Undesired observations: Exercise is not complete until the below observations or gone:

  • Inconsistent speed (slows or speeds up during the movement).
  • Holding breath.
  • Arches back to move arms and legs.
  • Moves arms or legs in a stop-and-go, jerky manner.
  • Arm movement is not synchronized with leg movement-
  • Arms reach the endpoint either before or after the legs.
  • Jerky movements
