Preface<br />

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God,<br />

and knoweth God. 1 John 4:7 (KJV) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:<br />

because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18 (KJV)


ELBERT: EVERYONE LEARNS BETTER EMBRACING REVOLUTIONARY TEACHING!!!<br />

After over twenty years of being in education, I provide tutoring, consulting, and coaching on<br />

dyslexia and other neurodevelopmental differences. Over the last 15 years, I’ve observed an<br />

increasing amount of behavioral, sensorial, cognitive, physical, mental, and spiritual difficulties<br />

and differences along with an increased number of children being medicated and misdiagnosed;<br />

Therefore, I developed a revolutionary program that includes an evaluation that “looks at the<br />

whole child.” I work with all stakeholders on constructive engagement when learning based on<br />

my student “whole child” observation(s) inspired by Maria Montessori, Neville Lancelot Goddard,<br />

Benjamin Bloom, Peter Levine, Conrad E. and Cohen B., Dr. J. Puleo & Dr. L. Horowitz, Howard<br />

Garner, Dr. Bradley Nelsen, Hans Berger, Jean Piaget, Grolnick, W. & Kurowski, C. and Erik<br />

Erickson. I have also developed a revolutionary training/intervention program for people with<br />

unique learning and neurodifferences. This program is based on my own inductive reasoning<br />

and a detective sense contributed to my own gift of dyslexia, countless hours of student<br />

observations, educational research and studies along with my perpetual care for children.<br />

The program I developed is named ELBERT which results include less passive student<br />

engagement, confidence, health and wellness including more pleasurable learning while<br />

participating in learning activities. Speaking of the “whole child”- you need to examine every<br />

aspect of “the whole child” not just the end goal or result which is literacy and their appropriate<br />

learning behavior. This program looks at the “whole child” and their unique neural development,<br />

complete learning differences including the nature and nurture of the neurodifference including<br />

their chakras, biofield (EM Field), and nervous systems.<br />

I’m now making my expertise available to parents, teachers, administrators, stakeholders and<br />

other learning communities. I observe the student’s sensory acute response to stress and<br />

interview teachers, the child, and parents, observe input/output of motor, verbal, and written<br />

behaviors in response to a literacy activity such as a phonics inventory, word- sound knowledge,<br />

phonological awareness exercises, and working memory activities along with the student’s<br />

interest survey and overall behaviors based on executive, somatic and autonomic functioning.<br />

My program is named ELBERT based on see in store is based off my book: HERE and triune<br />

brain which includes the following: Brainstem- I have a fight, flight and freeze<br />

sympathetic/parasympathetic observational checklist; Midbrain- a screening for vestibular,<br />

proprioceptive, somatic issues, along with speech/language development, auditory and visual<br />

processing; Limbic- My lesson plan template that includes the 4 F’s: Facts, Forms/Functions,<br />

Feelings & Future along with a progress monitoring tool; Cordial- holistic, alternative<br />

suggestions for taking care of the whole child’s individual, dynamic needs which includes over<br />

200 exercises and activities. Lastly, ELBERT also includes a self-guided literacy intervention<br />

program along with other coaching through a course on understanding dyslexia and other<br />

learning differences, and consulting (first one Free)!

Introduction<br />

Cook, the author of <strong>Nurture</strong> <strong>Their</strong> <strong>Nature</strong>, looks at the “whole child” and complete learning<br />

differences including the nature and nurture of the neurodifference. For learning to be<br />

successful, we need to look at the “whole child” and their neuro-symatic learning functions. For<br />

learning motivation and resilience (meaning) to be successful, you need to have a strong<br />

cognitive, behavioral, and affective-spiritual components which include the following: central and<br />

peripheral nervous systems- “our senses'' including our sensory system (especially visual and<br />

auditory), regulated RAS & ACC/HPA, Pons (parts of the brain), thymus and biofield (including<br />

electromagnetic field, internal chakras), neuroplasticity and IQ, positive perceptions specifically<br />

strength and empathy (along with reduced perceptions of anger and shame), healthy and<br />

functional physiological, sensory-motor systems, hormones released such as serotonin,<br />

dopamine, cortisol along with autonomy (for meaning, speed processing, and long-term<br />

memory) and attunement (for meaning & motivation, speed processing, and short-term<br />

memory). Therefore, when learning difficulties occur, our neurobiology (neurosystems), central<br />

and peripheral nervous system, complete chakra, and electromagnetic systems are all<br />

dysfunctioning or dysregulating simultaneously and individually at different degrees and causing<br />

abnormal neuroplasticity. Our goal is for ALL our systems and senses to function equalized,<br />

activated, and balanced. With a functional system, the child can trust themselves through<br />

spiritual mindset with self-directed neuroplasticity through ABC’s and gain God awareness<br />

(eventually unity) through PYAM.<br />

Again, speaking of the “whole child”- you need to examine every aspect of their learning, not<br />

just the end goal or result which is literacy and their appropriate learning behavior. Now, we<br />

know epigenetics relating to learning influences of generational anger and shame have<br />

the ability of being healed and determines which genes will be expressed and how their<br />

own systems will function. The main goal is to heal our very own DNA holistically through<br />

exercises and activities which block or ease the production of specific inflammatory proteins<br />

(toxicity) excreted by the gut-brain axis, decreasing biochemical reactions that happen between<br />

the Pineal, Pituitary, Adrenal & Carotid Glands along with by activating and aligning the Thymus<br />

(via vagus nerve chakra) and Pons, RAS & ACC/HPA (alta major and soma chakras) causing<br />

decrease in deficiencies while regulating our own biofields (including electromagnetic fields).<br />

This is the divine stamp where you are regulated and experiencing harmony, honor, wisdom,<br />

and becoming devoted to your purpose. You need to again, speaking of the “whole child”- you<br />

need to examine every aspect of their learning, not just the end goal or result which is literacy<br />

and their appropriate learning behavior.<br />

Ways to look at neurodifferences holistically: observe and take observational notes on the<br />

child…50% <strong>Nature</strong>- 50% <strong>Nurture</strong> (focus on epigenetics and spiritual mindset along with selfdirected<br />

neuroplasticity): What Is Epigenetics? [The Answer to the <strong>Nature</strong> vs. <strong>Nurture</strong> Debate.”<br />

<strong>Nature</strong>


The Body<br />

Chapter 1<br />

<strong>Nature</strong>- is the maturation of the brain and body; for the purpose of survival, it’s the ability to<br />

perceive, give meaning, learn, and act including motivation and resilience of our very own<br />

environments (patterns first). Speaking of the “whole child”- the vagus nerve connects the<br />

brainstem to the body. It also connects and aligns the eight chakras, Pons, RAS & ACC/HPA<br />

and thymus including their own biofield (including electromagnetic field). This vagal balance<br />

allows the brain stem to receive the information (formulating patterned neural connections)<br />

from the environment, the midbrain to monitor and receive information (firing pattern of brain<br />

nerve cells in a network), and the frontal lobe to perceive the universal emotions which are the<br />

following: anger, strength, joy, bliss, shame, courage, compassion, and harmony.<br />

Executive functioning involves logic through analysis or evaluation; initially, the thymus is where<br />

the mind deems how important based on cellular memory (what or why). Then onto the frontal<br />

lobe where the “why” is based on context cues (evaluation) and the “what” is based on recursive<br />

aspects (analysis). The vagus nerve controls vagal balance and the executive functioning<br />

system (via the thymus- vagus nerve chakra). The thymus including the vagus nerve can be<br />

deactivated, hyperactivated, hypoactive, underdeveloped, or variably then going inactive in<br />

children (adults-too); therefore, releasing specific inflammatory proteins at the gut-brain axis<br />

which can be toxic to the triune brain [accessed 1/2/2021 Sunny Sea Gold Updated January 27,<br />

2021. “Here’s How the Brain Makes Memories-and What You Can Do to Keep Your Mind<br />

Sharp.” Health.com, www-health-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.health.com/mind-body/brainmemory-healthy-mind?amp=true].<br />

In the field of psychology, emotions are not just our feelings as some may think. Emotions are<br />

our feelings, thoughts, ideas, perceptions, physical sensations and involve the senses and their<br />

systems all for which start in the mind. They create what we call mindset- needing a calm<br />

mindset for equanimity is key. Our God mindset regulates every love or fear experience we<br />

have and our very purpose of being here on earth. The ‘theory of mind’ is an assessment of an<br />

individual human's degree of capacity for empathy and strength; as well as our understanding of<br />

ourselves and others have a mind too. Where the mind is located has been a continuous<br />

debate- I propose that the mind at least begin in our very own thymus. The thymus is the center<br />

of both our higher and lower self. It is the epicenter of a vagus nerve highway including the<br />

interchanges from our gut-brain axis, to our Pons, RAS including ACC and HPA (both housed<br />

with-in the brain) which all control every system in the human body. The thymus can be<br />

overtaken by love or fear- it’s where our consciousness and super consciousness<br />

(consciousness and subconscious conjoin in unity) begins and ends.


In the field of child -psychology, “Every attitude has three components that are represented<br />

in wh at is calle d the ABC model of attitudes: A for affective, B for behavioral, and C for<br />

cognitive. Although every attitude has these three components, any particular attitude can<br />

be based on one component more than another (Study.com, 2020).” The naming of the<br />

word attitude as it relates to students learning can give someone a negative perception;<br />

parents ask me all the time, “can you help me with my child’s attitude”. The attitude one<br />

has for learning makes for a make or break type learning. I observe kids all the time with<br />

Re sponsive System Dysfunction (RSD) which means it is hard to find meaning and<br />

motivation for learning. When your child is learning under stress, fear, and having RDS,<br />

they are learning from their mental or emotional bodies, primarily with a Sympathetic<br />

(a n ger) Functional System which is a hyper-processing dysfunction and Parasympathetic<br />

(shame) Functional System Dysfunction which is a hypo-processing dysfunction or both<br />

anger/shame which is a Total Functional Dominance System which is a varied hyper-, hypodysfunction<br />

of the RAS (Rectangular Activation System). This hyper-, h ypo- and varied<br />

dominance affects the “whole child”.


Specifically, the mental body is anger brain dominant and perceives in the heart everything<br />

related to learning with anger. The emotion al body is sh am e brain dom in ant an d perce ive s<br />

in the heart everything related to learning with shame. According to my good friend, Tom<br />

Heintz (An Emotional Code Practitioner -Creator of The Body Code) references Christine H.,<br />

MS, LMHC (Hammond 2018), ‘Anxiety [anger and shame] is one emotion that can be passed<br />

down from one generation to the next. Also, there are 10 emotions that can also be<br />

inherited through family trauma, parental modeling, and/or abusive behaviors.’ For those<br />

who st ruggle with sensory triggers and learning stressors, like when experiencing reading<br />

or writing, these negatively perceived and filtered experiences with anger and shame, can<br />

cause a trauma type of developmental anxiety and sometimes even depression. Heintz<br />

(2020) also refers to this following excerpt from Christine Hammond, MS, LMHC (2018):<br />

1. Anger – There are three main types of unhealthy anger: aggressive anger, passive -<br />

aggressive anger [shame], and suppressive anger [hatred - not kids usually] – all of<br />

which can negatively affect a child. For example, if a parent is aggressively angry by<br />

yelling, their child might grow up to mimic the same behavior or learn to redirect it<br />

into their own manifestation of anger.<br />

2. Shame – Hearing words from parents such as, “You will never be good enough,” or<br />

“You are stupid,” attack the heart of who a person is. Sadly enough, shaming tactics<br />

are pervasive in hyper -religious homes where a child i s told that they have to live up<br />

to some unrealistic standard and very frequently are practiced by the child on<br />

others once they have been exposed to such treatment” [Generational Healing:<br />

tom@thebodyemotions.com; accessed on 2/19/20 “10 Emotions That Can Be<br />

Inherited.” The Body Emotions, 21 Apr. 2020, thebodyemotions.com/10 -emotions -<br />

that -can-be-inherited/].<br />

In 2018, I created The ELBERT Responsive System Dysfunction (RSD) Checklist which is<br />

Functional System Dominance Checklist. I have found in over 4 dozen students what I always<br />

knew; that they develop anger first, if not given a healthy, safe, and supportive environment for<br />

their anger. Also, anger can develop into shame. Then, the shame will be more dominant. This<br />

ELBERT checklist and resources are important for those working with neurodifferences<br />

because shame is harder to address than anger. Shame is the defense for anger and survival of<br />

some people. Some people though are less susceptible to shame and remain in anger. I have<br />

found more times than not where just anger has been marked; especially in younger students. I<br />

interview the students and their parents (teachers too preferably) where an [x] means most of<br />

the time in their learning environment and a [/] means some of the time in their learning<br />

environment (see image 1.0). Note: if anger and shame are not addressed at a young age, it<br />

can turn into hatred and grief. Also, anger appears anxiously (hyper activity) and shame


appears sadly depressed (hypo activity). Together with both anger and shame, someone can<br />

appear anxious and sad. With shame, the body is calm but internally their mind can be<br />

ruminating on negative thoughts, feelings, ideas and emotions which can be hard to know<br />

unless your child shares them with someone. This is why the checklist and interview is so<br />

important.<br />

“Neuroplasticity allows the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain to compensate for injury and<br />

disease and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their<br />

e n vironm ent” (De fin ition of Neu roplasticity, 2020). Also, I’m n ee din g to mention<br />

developmental trauma!<br />

When a child with neurodifferences is learning something new or stressful, if mindset is<br />

perceived with anger (SFD), we can observe lessened neuroplasticity of the midbrain (right<br />

lobe) and constant speed shifting (accelerated or and varied) of the prefrontal cortex,<br />

frontal lobe along with midbrain (left lobe) and emotional disorders with long term<br />

memory problems. Likewise, if the mindset is perceived with shame (PFD), we can observe<br />

lessened neuroplasticty of the prefrontal cortex, frontal lobe along with midbrain (left lobe)<br />

and constant speed shifting (slow or and varied) of the midbrain (right lobe) along with<br />

more executive functioning issues and short term memory problems or midbrain. We can<br />

attribute this constant speed shifting to the common problems of poor neuroplasticity.<br />

Like wise, the lackin g a se lf-directed neuroplasticity such as positive mindset such as<br />

attunement and autonomy (belief I AM GOOD ENOUGH & WORTHY), feeling safe and<br />

secure in their environment, poor (body) sleep, diet, health an d we llness, lackin g ph ysical<br />

activity, dysfunction of vagus nerve (soul- body) connection, sometimes even the (spiritsoul-body)<br />

connection (much older teens), lacking gratitude including (heart-connection),<br />

attunement and (mind-trust ) autonomy, love of self and others, sensory overload along<br />

con sistently m u lti-tasking and/or context-switching (handling 2 or more tasks at the same<br />

tim e ) espe cially in th is com ple x, non-connected (yet, connected), neurotoxic and EMF toxic<br />

infused environment- ALL d e cre a s in g our very own electromagnetism and vagal tone.


Mind you again, learning with meaning, resilience, and motivation is complicated and that<br />

the spirit-soul-body/connection-trust-love disconnection causes maladjustment and<br />

be lon gin g in th is world. Don ’t worry, our spirit, soul, and body connection can also be<br />

complicated to a point, if we understand that we are love and not meant for fear. Think<br />

about it this way, when your child has a Hypo or Hyper, Total Responsive System<br />

Dysfunction (RSD), their learning decreases due to disconnections to others-themselves,<br />

soul-body disconnection of consciousness, perceptions of anger/shame along with<br />

assimilation (meaning and motivation) of those perceptions. Sadly, the students who have<br />

RSD dysfunctions, they can become labeled Learning Disabled amongst other labels.<br />

The re fore, th e y are not le arn in g e ffective ly, cogn itive ly, or be h aviorally on a consciou s le ve l<br />

nor helped in a way that is revolutionary nor effective.<br />

With just a Sympathetic Functional System Dominance (S FD), they perceive in the mind<br />

everything with anger during stress. When they have a Parasympathetic Functional System<br />

Dominance (PFD), in the mind , they filter and attune themselves to everything with shame.<br />

When we have both anger and shame in the mind (see child sample above), this is called a<br />

Total Learning System Dysfunction (TLSD) which creates: this creates almost complete soul -<br />

body disconnect (dysregulation) due to constant learning aka cognitive speed shifting<br />

(hyper -. hypo-, and varied) which tire s out the brain’s (RAS) Rectangular Activation System<br />

(chakras 6-8th including soma and alta -major chakras), Pons (crown chakra), and Thymus<br />

(vagus nerve chakra) much quicker than the aligned and balanced learning brain and body<br />

which, in turn, lessens neu roplasticity. When our very own DNA generationally<br />

predispositions with dysfunctions of the Rectangular Activation System, Pons, and Thymus<br />

and for learning differences (anger and shame predispositions), ALL our systems and<br />

senses can have any dysfunctions , and therefore, we can actually have body -soul<br />

disconnection in the mind!<br />

Chapter 2<br />

The Brain<br />

Specifically, if the vagal system is comprised including the following areas of the brain:<br />

Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) and Vibrating the Alta Major Chakra<br />

The Cinguate Gyrus (CAN)- is a large arch-like lobe in the center of the inner brain that is a<br />

part of the limbic system; it houses the organs and their interactions constitute the Anterior<br />

Cingulate Cortex (ACC-shame) and the main function of this area of the brain functions to<br />

process conscious emotional experience and the parasympathetic nervous system (right side)<br />

(NOTE: the importance of conscious reappraisal of emotions such as shame/empathy and


anger/strength for the ARAS). Note: The amygdala, bulb at bottom not shown in pic.., is where<br />

The Cinguate Gyrus (CAN) first receives perceptions from the mind via the thymus, via the<br />

peripheral cranial/CNS nerves, then onto the ACC. A hyper-, hypo- amygdala works harder and<br />

the VACC can get dysregulated (shame mainly).<br />

2.0 ACC & Cinguate Gyrus (CAN) illustration<br />

NOTE: (HPA) Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal and Vibrating the Soma Chakra<br />

The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis is a complex set of direct influences and feedback<br />

interactions among three components: the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the adrenal<br />

glands associated with the soma chakra and anger . These organs and their interactions<br />

constitute the HPA (anger) axis, a major neuroendocrine system that controls reactions to stress<br />

and regulates many body processes, including digestion, the immune system and the<br />

sympathetic nervous system (frontal lobe/left side). Note: Like above, the amygdala, bulb at<br />

bottom not shown in pic.., is where The Cinguate Gyrus (CAN) first receives perceptions from<br />

the mind (cellular memory- anger mainly) via the thymus, via the peripheral cranial/CNS nerves,<br />

then onto the ACC. [Accessed on 12/29/2020- The Brain Network Driving Changes in<br />

2.1 HPA illustration<br />

Vagus Nerve and Vibrating the Soma and Alta Major Chakra<br />

The vagus nerve- is one of the cranial nerves that connect the brain to the body. More<br />

specifically, it’s the connection between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract. Likewise, the<br />

vagus nerve has two bunches of sensory nerve cell bodies, and it connects the brainstem to the<br />

body and vagal nerves carry somatic and visceral afferents that can alter the activity of the<br />

brainstem at the point of the reticular activation centers (RAS). Remember the RAS & ACC<br />

(shame)/HPA (anger) also allows the brain to monitor and receive information about several of<br />

the body’s different functions and matters of the mind including the perceptions and filters of the<br />

parasympathetic (shame), sympathetic (anger) & total (anger/shame) response system during<br />

stress such as reading. When you activate the chakras (major 8 and soma/alta major- HPA<br />

(anger)/ACC(shame)) and normalize, balance the vagal tone and electromagnetic field, it will<br />

stop the “epigenome” which are again the collection of chemicals markers (focus: inherently<br />

dyslexia). This interruption will allow the body to then calm, be healthy, resilient, gain positive<br />

attitudes (joy, bliss, and happiness) and make learning more pleasurable and effective;<br />

therefore, also the Reticular Activating System (RAS) needs to be activated via the vagus nerve<br />

(thymus- vagus nerve chakra). Note: The (ARAS) itself is on the cerebral cortex and is<br />

responsible for the achievement of super consciousness (higher transpersonal self) . The ARAS<br />

doesn’t fully develop in the brain until variably, around the ages 21–24 years old (Fowler, J.W.,<br />

2015).<br />

2.2 Vagus Nerve Chakra (Upper Heart Chakra-Thymus) illustration Note: includes Soma and<br />

Alta Major chakras


Remember the vagus nerve also connects the brainstem to the body. The vagus nerve also is<br />

connected to the eight chakras via RAS & ACC (shame)/HPA (anger)- by activating the eight<br />

chakras including the soma/alta major via the vagus nerve, it can continue doing its job of<br />

helping us connect our brain stem to the body; hence, regulating our biofield (including<br />

electromagnetic fields). One of the major goals of the paper and program includes holistic<br />

alternatives and activities for equanimity and to block or ease the production of specific<br />

inflammatory proteins and chemicals (toxicity) excreted at the gut-brain axis via the vagus<br />

nerve, align and balance the eight chakras (soma/alta major also) including Pons, RAS and<br />

ACC (shame)/HPA (anger) areas of the brain to regulate our own biofields aka senses<br />

(including electromagnetic fields). Also, for the thymus (vagus nerve chakra) to become<br />

regulated and balanced.<br />

2.3 RAS Rectangular Activation System Note: includes Soma and Alta Major Chakras<br />

illustration


Vagus Nerve & RAS Vibrating Alta Major Chakra (*aka God Awareness Chakra)<br />

The Reticular Activating System (RAS)- is a network of neurons (hyper-, hypo-, or, varied)<br />

located in the brain stem that project anteriorly to the hypothalamus to mediate behavior such<br />

as sleep, memory, and learning; as well as, both posteriorly to the thalamus and directly to the<br />

cortex for activation of awake, desynchronized cortical EEG patterns. It is holistically and<br />

spiritually known from being a center “where we can create our own reality” whether positive,<br />

negative or neutral. Knowing: What we focus on in our mind (thymus), pons (dream center) then<br />

comes to fruition here in our RAS.<br />

The ACC (see top)- is part of RAS (Pineal Gland, Pituitary Gland) associated with the alta<br />

major chakra and shame.<br />

HPA (see top)-(Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis) associated with the soma chakra<br />

and anger.<br />

Both are associated with the thymus chakra aka vagus nerve chakra.<br />

Note: Important RAS info. includes the following excerpt... ‘The RAS is said to be the gas pedal<br />

[slow (hypo-), accelerate (hyper-) or varied cognitive speed processing] that ignites the<br />

diencephalon (the hypothalamus and thalamus) as well as the cortical areas [where all longterm<br />

memory/storage takes place] of the brain’ (Petty 1996).<br />

Corpus callosum- links both hemispheres and to varying degrees. Hence students might have<br />

a lateral cognitive dominance of the functioning system- the students with the right-hemisphere<br />

dominance have Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (PFD) and might have<br />

dysphonetic dyslexia because language and analysis (break down category and sequencing)<br />

which is a left-hemisphere task: therefore, students with right-hemisphere dominance might


have high functioning autism, can have language deficits such as dsyphonetic (auditory)<br />

dyslexia.<br />

Unilateral Neglect (or Hemispatial Neglect)/Total Functioning System Dominance (TFD)-<br />

student might have high-functioning autism along with other learning differences (below).<br />

Someone prominent in right-brain (ACC) has an unawareness of objects to one side of the<br />

body or personal space. In severe cases, a side can be completely ignored when carrying out<br />

certain tasks and everyday functions such as writing so may have dysgraphia. But another<br />

important brain function is controlled by either the right side of your brain or the left side of your<br />

brain depending on your handedness.<br />

Sympathetic Functioning System Dominance (SFD) student has total (see below) or left corpus<br />

callosum dysfunction then having a total right or left-lateral hemisphere dominance (HPA),<br />

evaluation (specifically color, shape, size & dimension) is a right-hemisphere task; those with<br />

a Sympathetic Functioning System Dominance (SFD) therefore, might have autism, Irlen<br />

Syndrome, and dsyeidetic (visual) dyslexia.<br />

Unilateral Neglect (or Hemispatial Neglect)/Total Functioning System Dominance (TFD)-<br />

students might have autism (lower functioning) along with other learning differences (below).<br />

Someone with dominant frontal lobe or the (left) dominant temporal lobe (SFD) can cause a<br />

condition called aphasia, which is a serious disturbance of speech and communication.<br />

When the short-term memory aka “working memory” is not equalized, then the information being<br />

led by the Corpus Colosseum to the frontal lobe for executive functioning becomes deficient.<br />

Whether the Corpus Colosseum is underdeveloped or deficient in it’s development for example:<br />

there can be blockage, protein folding, insufficient synapse development (premature pruning),<br />

poor fluid to transfer synapse message, etc. Also, if the Corpus Colosseum, the “short term<br />

memory” is compromised this is also known as Mixed Brain Dominance or dysphasia and<br />

forms of autism.<br />

Limbic Areas that are typically included in the limbic system fall into two categories but<br />

there’s a missing third component (thymus):


● RAS= HPA & ACC (body & brain= brainstem) processing side and short-term<br />

memory and the arousal of the limbic cortex such as: ACC- amygdala, and the<br />

hippocampus. It is where our dreams come into our reality and then onto fruition.<br />

Correlated with chakras 6–8th.<br />

● Pons (body & mind = midbrain) which is a small part of the brain above the pons<br />

that integrates sensory information and relays it upward (RAS). Similar to the<br />

RAS, it is responsible for arousal (hyper-, hypo-, and varied) and plays a role in<br />

mood. In terms of long–term physiological changes, it is also associated with<br />

long-term memory. This is also where dreams are centered based on our thymus<br />

and what we focus on or need healing to become pure and blameless. Correlated<br />

with chakras 9–11th.<br />

● Thymus (high heart & mind= soul) a connection of perception between all affective<br />

and behavioral cognitive experiences on a cellular level (cellular memory)<br />

including the mainstream universal emotions of anger, strength, joy, bliss, shame,<br />

courage, compassion, and harmony and relays it upward (PONS). It’s also where<br />

you can find the “imagination” that lies within all of us of God’s Will. This is where<br />

the mind creates our purpose by filtering, interpreting our world and experiences<br />

which in turn creates our dreams into reality of miracles and blessings. Correlated<br />

with chakra 12 and all the rest of the chakras.<br />

NEEDING TO BE ADDRESSED- Learning Differences including Our Electromagnetic<br />

System<br />

All of our senses and corresponding systems give us vital information about our surroundings.<br />

As well as, our EM and Torsion Field is our senses not what we think of as senses as the<br />

vehicle (ear, eyes, nose, mouth, skin, balance) that sends messages through our nerve<br />

endings, CNS and then to the brain. Our EM and Torsion Field, you will read more on later,<br />

includes our chakra system. These senses depend very closely on the thymus ‘our mind’ to<br />

make sense of our own world and experiences including relationships with others. Our senses<br />

give us our perceptions of our universal emotions, plus are we gonna live in fear or love. Our<br />

senses include our cellular memory and how we act. Again, for the divergent thinker it is where<br />

our mind consciousness makes our decisions not logic. What is the law of conservation of<br />

energy? It states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed. I need for<br />

you to think about the universal emotions as energy that can be transformed or changed<br />

amongst being hereditarily passed down through generations and stored in the thymus (vagus<br />

nerve chakra) as well as translate into our very own DNA. Electromagnetic energy is part of our


quantum-self; there are three forms of electromagnetic energy: visible light, infrared radiation,<br />

and radio waves. Let’s focus on 7 spheres of invisible light converted into visible light and ‘as<br />

you focus, so you are there in superconsciousness’ (see below) as 5 dimensional light- Glory<br />

and Victory.<br />

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds<br />

[honor] and glorify your Father in heaven. Mathew 5:16<br />

Affirmation of Hope: I am Honor. I have Light.<br />

Lower Personal Self: The Gifts


Concrete Thought (conscious develops around age 2)<br />

● Physical Self (chakras 1–3): anger/strength, joy, bliss, peace, shame/empathy<br />

● Vestibular & Somatosensory Senses & Proprioception, Tactile Senses= RAS (chakras 6-<br />

● dysgraphia, dysphasia, cp<br />

God, what’s my (Your) reality? What are my gifts? (physical, emotional rational mind, personal<br />

power and will- Ego Center)<br />

The vestibular system is a sensory system that is responsible for providing our brain with<br />

information about motion, head position, and spatial orientation; it also is involved with motor<br />

functions that allow us to keep our balance, stabilize our head and body during movement, and<br />

maintain posture. Awareness of body balance and movement are monitored by the vestibular<br />

system. The vestibular senses (the sensations of body rotation and of gravitation and<br />

movement) arise in the inner ear; the sense organs are the hair cells that send out signals over<br />

the auditory nerve. The somatosensory system is the part of the sensory system concerned<br />

with the conscious perception of touch, pressure, pain, temperature, position, movement, and<br />

vibration, which arise from the muscles, joints, skin, and fascia. The tactile stimuli are detected<br />

by mechanoreceptors and produce sensations of touch and pressure. The proprioceptive<br />

system is located in our muscles and joints. It provides us with a sense of body awareness and<br />

detects/controls force and pressure. The proprioceptive system also has an important regulatory<br />

role in sensory processing as proprioceptive input can assist in controlling responses to sensory<br />

stimuli. The proprioceptive sense tells us about our body position. It is stimulated every time<br />

we move. Each time we use our muscles or stretch and bend our joints. Receptors for this<br />

sense are all over our body, deep within our joints and muscles. The tactile system refers to<br />

our sense of touch. Tactile doesn't just refer to our hands! The main way we perceive this input<br />

is through our skin, which has many receptors all over our bodies for all different kinds of<br />

sensations. Tactile sense related to touch, specifically the information received from varying<br />

pressure or vibration against the skin. Tactile sensation is considered a somatic sensation,<br />

meaning it originates at the surface of the body, rather than internally. (Somatic & Vestibular<br />

The visual system comprises the sensory organ (the eye) and parts of the central nervous<br />

system for visual processing. Again, remember the proprioception also referred to as<br />

kinaesthesia (or kinesthesia), is the sense of self-movement and body such as visual sense<br />

and the vestibular system, to create an overall representation of body position, movement, and<br />

acceleration. The auditory system is the sensory system for the sense of hearing. It includes<br />

both the sensory organs (the ears) and the auditory parts of the sensory system. The auditory<br />

parts help us to process sounds and language. Auditory sense is the ability to hear; the<br />

auditory faculty; auditory modality, sense of hearing, hearing. auditory system - the sensory<br />

system for hearing sense modality, sensory system, modality - a particular sense. (Somatic &<br />

Christ Center and His Will & Purpose)<br />

The olfactory system, or sense of smell, is the sensory system used for smelling (olfaction).<br />

Olfaction sense is one that has directly associated specific organs. Most mammals and reptiles<br />

have a main olfactory system and an accessory olfactory system. The gustatory system is the<br />

sensory system responsible for the perception of taste and flavour. In humans, the gustatory<br />

system is composed of taste cells in the mouth (which sense the five taste modalities: salty,<br />

sweet, bitter, sour and umami), several cranial nerves, and the gustatory cortex. There is tons<br />

of research on how olfactory & gustatory senses are related to emotions.<br />

NEEDING TO BE ADDRESSED- Our Dysregulation In OUR Biofield “Our Senses” (see<br />

chakras below)<br />

3.1 Biofield illustration


Learning Differences including Our Chakra Systems & The Vagal Tone<br />

Our Chakra System<br />

The chakras spin like a wheel which fuels our MIND (thymus) and EM and Torsion<br />

Field. The chakras spins like a wheel and sets our minds’ vagal tone (ultimately thymus)<br />

which can be Hypo - or Hyper -, Varied. The chakras need to be balanced and equalized for<br />

our mind (thymus) not to be dysregulating our senses nor other systems. When your child<br />

has a Hypo- or Hyper -, Varied Responsive System Dysfunction (RSD), their learning and<br />

motivation (attunement) through their senses decreases due to disconnections to o thers -


themselves along with soul -body disconnection of consciousness. The hypo-An ger<br />

Sympathetic Functional Dominance (SFD) means certain chakras (usually 1st-8th chakras)<br />

are spinning too fast in which the lower self needs strength. The hypo-Sham e<br />

Parasympathetic Functional Dominance (PFD) means they are spinning too low and need<br />

e m p athy. If va rie d To tal Fu n ctio n a l Dom in a n ce (TDF), the lowe r self (1st-8th chakras) are<br />

going deactivated or going inactive along with thymus and need both strength and<br />

em pathy in clu din g joy, bliss, an d pe ace . Note: the 8th chakra includes the vagus nerve<br />

Our Electromagnetic System “Our Senses” affects other parts of the brain that have a part in<br />

some of the most important aspects of learning which includes the following tasks:<br />

analysis (break down category and sequencing)<br />

sensory processing<br />

memory/learning (short and long term memory)<br />

motor control


autonomy (meaning) and attunement (motivation)<br />

3.3 image Cook’s Brainchat 7/30/20 illustration<br />

Functional System Dominance (FSD)- when the RAS & ACC (anger)/HPA (shame) and the<br />

brain stem (reptilian brain) regulates our sympathetic (anger) and parasympathetic (shame)<br />

systems as it responds to stress: such as when reading. It also acts as a vehicle for sensory<br />

information. Note: Students with Sympathetic Functional System Dominance (anger-SFD) have<br />

mostly hyper-sensory processing and Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (shame-<br />

PFD) has hypo-sensory processing and Total Functional System Dominance (both anger and<br />

shame- TFD) and varied processing. Lastly, it helps to be familiar with the midbrain (mammalian<br />

brain) which includes: medulla oblongata and pons do their jobs effectively such as…<br />

Basal ganglia- regulating motor functions. Students with Sympathetic Functional System<br />

Dominance (anger-SFD) have mostly hyper-sensory processing and hyperactivity in their<br />

proprioceptive, somatic, vestibular, and gross-motor abilities (ADHD- hyperactive type &<br />

cerebral palsy) and Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (shame- PFD)- have<br />

mostly hypo-sensory processing and hypoactivity in their proprioceptive, somatic, vestibular,<br />

and fine-motor abilities (ADHD-inattentive type & dysgraphia). Varied is, of course, Total<br />

Functional System Dominance which is most common with dysgraphia (anger and shame-<br />

TFD).<br />

Hippocampus- Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (shame- PFD)- have mostly<br />

hypo-sensory processing and hypoactivity of the hippocampus which helps humans process<br />

and retrieve two kinds of memory, declarative memories, and spatial relationships. Declarative<br />

memories are those related to facts and events. Examples include learning how to memorize<br />

speeches or lines in a play. Spatial relationship memories involve pathways or routes. Spatial


elationship memories appear to be stored in the right hippocampus. The hippocamp is also<br />

where short-term memories are turned into long-term memories. Relative to the hippocampus,<br />

these memories are then stored as polarities in the brain-experiences and reality of<br />

consciousness the past, future and present. (see RAS specially ACC above- associated with<br />

the alta major chakra and shame and see PONS and Thymus below)<br />

3.4 Light Cone (perceptions of past, present, & future)<br />

*Aside: Interesting Research- on those with memory loss, they did have faster thinning of the<br />

entorhinal cortex due to amyloid level as well as brain shrinkage of the hippocampus [retreived<br />

on 4/25/20 Scienmag. “SCIENMAG.” What Comes First, Beta-Amyloid Plaques or Thinking and<br />

Memory Problems?, apple.news/A0bfYT-YLR2u8kRquMsjKRA?fbclid=IwAR2].<br />

Relevantly, the Wnt pathway has been recognized as critical for the central nervous system<br />

development, several Wnt components retain their expression in the adult brain, including the<br />

hippocampus, and have proven to be fundamental in both the development and function of<br />

synapses (Inestrosa and Arenas, 2010; Inestrosa and Varela-Nallar, 2015). Altogether, these<br />

findings strongly suggest that Wnt signaling might be down-regulated during aging, leading to<br />

increased vulnerability of the neural network and increasing the risk for the onset and


progression of age-related pathologies, such as AD. Wnt inhibitors, including the secretedfrizzled-related<br />

protein 1 and 2 (SFRP-1 and SFRP-2) and Dickkopf-1 (Dkk-1), all them<br />

antagonists at the cell surface. As a result, mice deficient in Dkk-1 exhibit enhanced spatial<br />

working memory and memory consolidation and also show improvements in affective behavior<br />

Pineal Body, Pituitary & Adrenal Glands (see hypothalamus below)- synthesizes melatonin,<br />

serotonin, and dopamine and cortisol which helps you respond to stress (reading for example)<br />

and has many other important functions. Also melatonin studies recently show that melatonin<br />

exhibits many bioactivities, such as antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory characteristics,<br />

boosting immunity, anticancer activity, cardiovascular protection, anti-diabetic, anti-obese,<br />

neuroprotective and anti-aging activity. Note: Students with Sympathetic Functional System<br />

Dominance (SFD) are deficient in dopamine, melatonin, and have hyer-norepinephrine<br />

production (diligence- fight, flight, flee & hyperarousal). Students with Parasympathetic<br />

Functional System Dominance (PFD) are deficient in serotonin, melatonin, and have hyponorepinephrine<br />

production (hypoarousal, memory retrieval, diligence/motivation-freeze). Note:<br />

The pineal gland helps with a meditative state if the head is covered- it’s great for Calm (I will<br />

write more about calm ahead! Varied is, of course, Total Functional System Dominance (TFSD)<br />

which is most varied in hormones and the hardest time being calm with mood swings along<br />

(para/sympathetic) aka sensory relay nucleus.<br />

Olivary body- motor learning and perception of sound (auditory and visual processing<br />

specifically).<br />

Hypothalamus- speed processing of information also you need to remember the important<br />

RAS info. which includes the following excerpt: ‘The RAS is said to be the gas pedal [slow,<br />

accelerate or varied cognitive speed processing] that ignites the diencephalon (the<br />

hypothalamus and thalamus) as well as, the cortical areas [where all long-term memory/storage<br />

takes place] of the brain’ (Petty 1996). Also, includes the hippocampus (see above)- which is<br />

in the limbic system and regulates perceptions (such as the perception of shame, long-term<br />

memory). Students with Sympathetic Functional System Dominance (SFD) react with anger and<br />

have hyper-speed (accelerated) processing and long-term memory issues (both also varied<br />

from trying to regulate accelerated-slow so one and so forth). Students with Parasympathetic<br />

Functional System Dominance (PFD) filters with perceptions of shame, have slow speed<br />

processing (also the controversial- slow cognitive speed tempo) and bypassing the facts needed<br />

for short-term memory (effects sequencing skills, background knowledge)-headed straight to<br />

filtering based on meaning and perceptions (again shame)- short term memory issues are<br />

actually a prefrontal lobe executive functioning issues. Again, the frontal lobe to perceive the<br />

universal emotions which are the following: anger, strength, joy, bliss, shame, courage,<br />

compassion, and harmony (executive functioning logic through analysis or evaluation) where<br />

the mind deems how important (what or why). Basically, Remember the RAS-alta major chakra,


pineal and pituitary gland (pituitary chakra), crown chakra specifically for Parasympathetic<br />

Functional System Dominance (PFD) & HPA- soma chakra, hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal<br />

axis for Sympathetic Functional System Dominance (SFD). Varied speed processing (hypo-,<br />

hyper-) is, of course, Total Functional System Dominance which is most common with<br />

dysgraphia (anger and shame- TFD) [Petty, Peter G. “Consciousness.” Journal of Clinical<br />

Chapter 4<br />

The Divine Stamp- Soul & Body<br />

The Spirit<br />

In a deeper sense, the divine stamp is our will to make a transformation and renew strength and<br />

empathy by accepting Him, so we can heal ultimately in courage, compassion, harmony and<br />

unconditional love for others, and mainly ourselves in acceptance of the true mercy and grace of<br />

God! Discovering how to live a blameless and pure life once realizing the issues of learning and<br />

relationships HAD TO HAPPEN and ALL problems with others such as: being the teachers,<br />

school and learning, relatives such as brothers/sisters, or the other kids. It really isn’t others or<br />

the neurodifference itself; It is our understanding of the greater purpose in life so for the greater<br />

good to glorify His Kingdom! It’s our life’s lesson to the journey of learning to glorify God along<br />

with gaining his blessings of Peace, Freedom, and Victory.<br />

Key Contemplation: Stay Blamess & Know It ALL Had to Happen<br />

Intention: God awareness and unity<br />

Affirmation: I AM THAT...I AM SAVED- I AM COVERED IN THESE INTENTIONS IN MY<br />

Affirmation of Faith<br />

The internal flame is the divine stamp of infinite and complete wholeness with God. There's<br />

peace and comfort knowing he is my help, lamp, and savior!! The way to a complete functional<br />

system again is replacing anger with strength and shame with empathy (adults hatred with<br />

courage and grief with compassion). Why anger with strength? Have you seen a paranoid,<br />

anxious, angry person, who's absorbed in their “ego”, ever want to face and examine their<br />

anger feelings and triggers? It takes a lot of strength to do this! Why shame with empathy?<br />

Have you ever seen a withdrawn, self-absorbed, and ashamed person who’s almost defeated,<br />

ever want to have empathy for themselves (or others)? Jesus has already taken their suffering,<br />

so stay blameless. Those with a SFD, or PFD or TFD just need to accept Him into their heart ,<br />

actually thymus (internal-sacred flame- high heart, thymus) and ask for help by growing in<br />

eternal strength and wisdom to increase their own peace and comfort (harmony) while gaining<br />

infinite “wholeness”. This is the divine stamp that we are promised!<br />

The Lord bless you and give you peace. Numbers 6:23-24<br />

Pons<br />

image 4.1 Pons Illustration works with RAS (*aka God Awareness Chakra)


The pons integrates both the medulla oblongata and the thalamus (NOTE: the importance of<br />

conscious reappraisal of emotions (emotional reappraisal) such as shame/empathy and<br />

anger/strength for the ARAS). In the thalamus, students can have a slow (hypo-), accelerated<br />

(hyper-) or varied processing and they have a problem with sensory integration disorders and<br />

emotional intensity or insensitivity with their neurodifference. The Pons, like the RAS, is<br />

responsible for arousal (hyper-, hypo- and varied). Plus, the pons connects areas of the brain<br />

that controls autonomic functions (parasympathetic (shame) /sympathetic (anger)): Acting or<br />

occurring involuntarily, without conscious control, in the somatic nervous system such as<br />

sleep and histamine inhibitors: The part of the peripheral nervous system that transmits<br />

signals from the central nervous system to skeletal muscles, and from receptors of external<br />

stimuli such as mediating sight, hearing, and touch and movement including speaking with<br />

conscious control (RAS-alta major chakra, crown chakra specifically via the thymus (Vagus<br />

Nerve Chakra)).<br />

Since the pons and the thymus (see below) as well as the RAS work together, Students with<br />

Sympathetic Functional System Dominance (SFD) can have problems “Seeing God” and<br />

“feeling worthy”- for God awareness they need circumstantial evidence or can go to extreme<br />

become ulta-religious constantly “breaking down” the Bible and religion. Those with a<br />

Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (PFD) have problems “Hearing God '' and<br />

“feeling enough”- for God awareness being calm in the mind- being present and ruminating on<br />

past/future a must. (PONS is addressed more in my ELBERT program: includes PYAM &<br />

RAS exercises body, breath, calm through prayer, yoga, affirmation, and meditation which<br />

connects us to God- see section below). Note: Students with Sympathetic Functional System<br />

Dominance (SFD) and Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (PFD) have high allergy<br />

rates and sleep disturbances (see other complications below).

Note: For those with Dysphonetic (auditory) and Dsyeidetic (visual-surface) Dyslexia, the medial<br />

longitudinal fasciculus of the pons carries information about the direction that the eyes<br />

should move. It connects the cranial nerve nuclei III (Oculomotor nerve), IV (Trochlear nerve)<br />

and VI (Abducens nerve) together, and integrates movements directed by the gaze centers<br />

(frontal eye field) and information about head movement (from cranial VIII, Vestibulocochlear<br />

nerve- which The vestibulocochlear nerve is unusual in that it primarily consists of bipolar<br />

neurons. It is the nerve responsible for the special senses of hearing (via the cochlear nerve),<br />

and balance (via the vestibular nerve). Then the cochlea detects the magnitude and frequency<br />

of sound waves. Students with dyslexia have tendency for speech deficits and chronic ear<br />

infections, auditory as well as visual processing issues and sometimes balance and conflicting<br />

signals in the inner ear, eyes, and sensory receptors.<br />

Thymus (12th chakra and all chakras, high heart & mind)-Upper or Higher Heart Chakra (*aka<br />

God Unity Chakra, Ascension Chakra, Vagus Nerve Chakra). It is known as “the seat of the<br />

soul” or the mind for the fact that it: holds a record of traumatic or painful events, dimensional to<br />

the subliminal content (see intelligence model below) and ancestral narration. High Heart<br />

Chakra, also called the ascended heart chakra, is connected with an organ: the thymus gland<br />

which before birth and throughout childhood, the thymus is instrumental in the production and<br />

maturation of T-lymphocytes or T cells, a specific type of white blood cell that protects the body<br />

from certain threats, including viruses and infections; It plays a role in immunity, autoimmunity,<br />

and aging (it’s basically our twin flame and fountain of youth). It’s the mind because it interprets<br />

and filters our experiences and environment. It’s connection of perception between all affective,<br />

behavioral and cognitive experiences including the mainstream universal emotions of anger and<br />

shame on that of the pons, RAS (ARAS), vagus nerve and gut brain axis. It’s the internal fire<br />

[sacred fire] that gives us our purpose for God awareness (RAS) and unity (ARAS) intelligence<br />

(knowledge) connection. A healthy thymus gives us system regulation or unhealthy thymus<br />

system dysregulation (disintegration) of all our systems: contents, models and operations<br />

amongst our very own body, mind and spirit (see cubed model of intelligence illustration below).<br />

“The core is not developing the new chakra-system, but rather to expand your<br />

consciousness beyond what is perceived by the monkey mind.” [acessed on<br />

12/13/20 Ourangelsguidance. “THE 12 CHAKRA SYSTEM AND TWINFLAME<br />

PROCESS.” Our Angels Guidance, 13 Nov. 2016,<br />

ourangelsguidanceblog.wordpress.com/2016/11/13/the-12-chakra-system-andtwinflame-process/.]


If you are questioning if the thymus houses the mind, then ask yourself have you<br />

ever felt or thought something outside your own consciousness (maybe you found<br />

something out as you were journaling)? Try asking yourself is this true? You might<br />

even perceive something in a different way? Read below because what I’m asking<br />

and presenting to you might change your perception.<br />

This cubed model of intelligence (see below) should be added to the ‘triarchic<br />

theory’, “this theory of intelligence has three aspects: analytical, creative, and<br />

practical (Sternberg, 1985). Analytical intelligence, also referred to as componential<br />

intelligence, refers to intelligence that is applied to analyze or evaluate problems<br />

and arrive at solutions’. [retrieved on 1/10/201,<br />

https://www.simplypsychology.org/intelligence.html].” ‘This is a major theoretical<br />

issue for psychologists because they are divided on which perception [the mind]<br />

relies directly on for information in the environment. Some argue that perceptual<br />

processes are not direct, but depend on the perceiver's expectations and previous<br />

knowledge as well as the information available in the stimulus itself.’ [retrieved on<br />

1/10/20, https://www.simplypsychology.org/perception-theories.html]. I argue, the<br />

IQ is a fluid as a person's EQ depending on the mindset, situational triggers,<br />

circumstance, and environment as well as what is mentioned prior when writing<br />

about functional systems. Think about the Necker cube, which is sometimes used<br />

to test computer models of the human visual system, to see if consistent<br />

interpretations of the image are the same. There is evidence that by focusing on<br />

different parts of the figure, one can force a more stable perception of the cube.<br />

The cubed model (image 4.3) should be added to how we test IQ because it takes<br />

the variance of human perceptions, which is part of one's mindset and takes into<br />

account: contents (facts), products (form/ functions), and operations<br />

(feelings/future).<br />

image 4.3 cubed model of intelligence illustration


As listed above on the cubed intelligence model, I need you to note under operations with<br />

convergent and divergent operations. Most people are convergent and have deductive<br />

reasoning and convergent thought. Those with neurodiversity have divergent production and<br />

have inductive reasoning and divergent thought. This is not the norm. The convergent<br />

production is based solely off of the “scientific method”- this thought process involves answering<br />

“what” by theory, hypothesis, testing, and conclusion. The divergent production wants to answer<br />

the “why” using their own observations, patterns, hypothesis and theory. In time, they observe<br />

what’s developing in their own perceptions of their mind through symbolic, behavioral contents,<br />

then evaluative memory of certain relations, systems, transformation and implications before<br />

they come up with a variety of never been used ways for a solution. [accessed on 12/17/20<br />

“Best Child, Career Counselling and Assessment Center in India.” Energiasoi,<br />

www.energiasoi.com/.]<br />

In my perspective all IQ testing nor standardized tests (even those by gold<br />

standard) are not set up for neurodivergent learners; Actually, most of education<br />

isn’t revolutionary and set up to tests this divergent way of thought- along with the<br />

authenticity of each person’s mind. Anything that is subjective or factual knowledge<br />

and not wise doesn’t meet the needs nor natural inquiry of the divergent minds’<br />

perspective. -Tricia Cook Tcooktutoring. [“Preview Of My Book Dyslexia Help:<br />

Further Focus<br />

Before we move onto the next section on how to help yourself and your child. Please ask<br />

yourself this question not from your brain, heart but from your mind these questions:<br />

Self-regulation:<br />

Is s/he frequently irritable?<br />

Does s/he overreact to small problems?<br />

Does s/he have intense, angry outbursts?<br />

Does s/he have outbursts for little or no apparent reason? (specify situations in which<br />

outbursts occur)?<br />

Attention and Executive Function:<br />

Is s/he easily distractible; does he act without thinking?<br />

Is s/he restless, not able to sit still; is he overly active?<br />

Does s/he have difficulty initiating or finishing tasks such as homework?<br />

Does s/he have difficulty finding things in his/her room or desk?<br />

Is his/her written work poorly organized, does s/he have difficulty planning ahead?<br />

Does s/he forget to hand in homework?<br />

Oppositional and Aggressive behavior:


Is your child destructive to toys or other objects?<br />

Does s/he say “no” or refuse to comply when asked to do something?<br />

Does your child regularly argue with you (parents), teachers?<br />

Does s/he tease or bully another child? Has s/he been teased or bullied?<br />

Is s/he aggressive with siblings, peers or adults, e.g., hits or pushes?<br />

Does s/he swear, call names or make threats?<br />

Anxiety:<br />

Do you think your child worries more than other children?<br />

What does s/he worry about?<br />

Does s/he ever have problems falling asleep because she is worrying about something, can’t<br />

turn his/her mind off?<br />

Does your child have many fears?<br />

Is s/he easily scared?<br />

Can s/he be easily comforted by reassurance?<br />

Depression:<br />

What is your child’s mood like most of the time?<br />

Is s/he often unhappy, sad or tearful?<br />

Does your child’s mood change abruptly for no apparent reason?<br />

Have you noticed a change in his/her interest in things s/he used to enjoy?


Have you noticed a change in his/her energy or activity level?<br />

Is s/he more quiet than usual?<br />

Have you noticed a change in his/her sleep patterns or appetite?<br />

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of<br />

God, and knoweth God. 1 John 4:7 (KJV) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth<br />

out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John<br />

<strong>Nurture</strong>


The Body<br />

Chapter 5<br />

<strong>Nurture</strong>- is the adaptation of children responding to the demands of the environment in ways<br />

that meet their own goals and function in a safe and secure way. Children with learning<br />

differences have deficits in brain plasticity- The brain’s remarkable ability to rewire itself<br />

throughout a person’s life is known as plasticity. The goal is spiritual mindsight and selfdirected<br />

neuroplasticity- a child who has healthy neuroplasticity can heal their DNA via the<br />

thymus- vagus nerve chakra, and RAS & ACC/HPA including the connection to the<br />

consciousness (God awareness) and consistently being provided a safe, supportive, healthy,<br />

and loving environment that facilitates their natural inquiry of learning (see chapter 10).<br />

The main objective is to prevent kids from learning from primarily from learning with either their<br />

mental, emotional and etheric bodies (anger/shame). Along with rewiring their perceptions and<br />

filters of the parasympathetic (shame) and sympathetic (anger) response system during stress<br />

such as reading, their perceptions of anger and shame are their lens to how they view and listen<br />

to their very own existence in this universe. For anger, they need autonomy (I am Worthy) and<br />

attunement for shame (I am Enough)- both need the two Bs: body and breath (see below for<br />

more about the ABC’s of Self-directed Neuroplasticity).<br />

Help Young Children Switch OFF Negative Markers Through <strong>Their</strong> Very Own DNA:<br />

Will Allow Future Generations To Heal & Not Experience The Same Suffering Of<br />

<strong>Their</strong> Past Ancestors.<br />

- Tricia Cook<br />

Relative to epigenetics, nature and nurturing, the child with neurodifference, it’s the brain nature<br />

and nurture to integrate particular observations (patterns first) into a body to form coherent<br />

knowledge also the organization; primarily, It’s the basis on the child’s need for meaning and<br />

motivation (ask me about autism, Sensory Integration and Executive Functioning issues and/or<br />

disability). Therefore, the adult should make observational records including an anger and<br />

shame checklist of children’s inductive reasoning and matters of the mind (discussed more<br />

below) on all children before intervention!! The mind for instance: anger being replaced with<br />

strength, shame being replaced with empathy and both with love and removal of fear: therefore,<br />

they will increase their connection, trust, and love for themselves and others. I also touch on<br />

the safe, positive learning environments, toxicity and other environmental factors for instance<br />

you can view some of the activities and exercises: HERE.

Section 5 Physical Plane- (see illustration 5.0 above)<br />

Emotional Body–Shame Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (PFD)- needs<br />

body/soul connection and attunement for help along with the following:<br />

ACC- which is part of RAS (6-8th chakra) with the Pineal, Pituitary, Carotid Glands, and PONS<br />

area of the brain especially the 8th chakra which is the Crown, 5th & 6th chakra, and Alta Major<br />

Chakra which is known for increasing energy (hyperarousal), also includes VACC involved in<br />

emotional appraisals, cognitive control, and error T. Also, work on the thymus with the thymus<br />

chakra also known as the seat of the soul, vagus nerve chakra, or aka etheric chakra.<br />

Mental Body– Anger Sympathetic Functional System Dominance- (SFD) needs body/soul<br />

consciousness, connection, and autonomy for help along with the following:<br />

HPA- Part of the Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal axis which is part of RAS (6-8th chakra) along<br />

with the 4th chakra especially the 7th chakra and 8th which is the Crown, Pituitary and Soma<br />

Chakra (right behind 3rd eye) which is known for decreasing energy (hypoarousal) and<br />

increasing consciousness.


Note: The HPA axis is responsible for the neuroendocrine adaptation component of the stress<br />

response. Also, work on the thymus with the thymus chakra also known as the seat of the soul,<br />

vagus nerve chakra, or aka etheric chakra (see below).<br />

Etheric Body– Anger/Shame has problems with both the emotional and mental body (mind)<br />

see Total Functional System Dominance (TFD)- needs Body-Soul Connection for help along<br />

either the following:<br />

RAS including ACC/HPA along with chakras 6–8th includes the Pineal & Pituitary Gland, PONS<br />

part of the brain, Crown, Pituitary and Alta Major/Soma Chakra (Cingulate Gyrus- the cingulate<br />

gyrus is a large arch-like lobe in the center of the inner brain that is a part of the limbic system.<br />

This area of the brain functions to process conscious emotional experience).<br />

Also RAS (6-8th chakra) especially the 8th chakra which mainly is part of the brainstem via the<br />

vagus nerve (thymus- vagus nerve chakra) involved in arousal (hyper-hypo) which helps to<br />

learn such as focus/attention, sensory integration, hormones released, speed processing, LT/ST<br />

memory, vigilance/motivation, and overall (hypo-, hyper-, & varied) arousal, sleep and<br />

wakefulness, and control of reflexes. Also, work on the thymus with the thymus chakra also<br />

known as the seat of the soul, vagus nerve chakra.<br />

Cook’s Alternatives and Suggestions for Lateral<br />

Functional System Dominance<br />

You might need to contact me for help if you or your child/student can’t be reached<br />

and seems disconnected; Also, when it comes to learning, they show some or all of<br />

the following emotions and challenges: anger, frustration, shame, and sadness; has<br />

chronic headaches, stomach aches, hives; appears to have low<br />

-self esteem; squints<br />

when reading; feels behind or "different" than the other kids; has behavioral and<br />

learning challenges; emotionally intense or desensitized; complains; thrives for<br />

constant attention ; labeled emotionally intense, gifted and talented or twice -<br />

exceptional; has trouble focusing or paying attention; destroys their pencil, eraser,<br />

and crumples up their paper after working very hard; problems with organization or<br />

being on time; poor eye<br />

-con tact, body -space awareness; sleep and/or digestive<br />

problems; has problems spelling or with handwriting; complete interest<br />

-based<br />

learner; grips pencil very hard; has glasses but still complains about not seeing the<br />

letters or words, ultra -sensitive, problem s with authority; doodles on paper;<br />

problems understanding verbal directions; picks and scratches at their skin and<br />

nails; can be needy, clingy, and "whinny"; described as dramatic, creative and very<br />

imaginative by others; been or going to be held back in<br />

school; has trouble<br />

connecting to others; tired all the time; great with verbal comprehension and large<br />

lexicon, shows anxiety, anxiousness or depression; overactive<br />

-reads, writes, moves,<br />

and thinks extremely fast or slow; sensory -processing problems or is sues; constantly<br />

moving hands/feet or fidgeting; overly kind or pleasing others; considerably 'moody';<br />

known for "daydreaming"; aggressive and violent; gets low grades: yet, highly<br />

intelligent; can comprehend well but has trouble with spelling/reading flue<br />

ncy;<br />

adverse to learning or trying something new (resilience) as well as low in<br />

motivation!


When we have sympathetic (anger) and parasympathetic (shame) functional system<br />

dysfunction and this speed shifting tires out the brain much quicker than the balanced learning<br />

brain. Mostly checked marked on both columns, then Total Functional System Dominance<br />

(anger/shame) which is actually due RAS (chakras 6-8) and to constant speed shifting<br />

(accelerated/slow and varied) of the prefrontal lobe along with midbrain (left/right lobe) and<br />

information doesn’t know where to go which is due to poor (body) sleep, diet, lack of physical<br />

activity, sickness, color deprivation, emotional intensity or desensitivity dysfunction of Vagus<br />

Nerve and RAS; (spirit) connection, attunement; (mind) autonomy, trust, content switching,<br />

multi-tasking, sensory overload along consistently multi-tasking or context-switching (handling 2<br />

or more tasks at the same time) especially in this complex, non-connected, neurotoxic and EMF


toxic infused environment- bioelectromagnetism and again complicated and disconnected world<br />

that we live in. The glass overflows-we see digression and misalignments.<br />

*make sure essential needs are met first: sleep, diet, calm, and safety!<br />

I have observed Autism, varied speed processing, and sensory processing issues (exercises for<br />

these-see below for more information including Total Functional System Dominance).<br />

Therefore, the information of learning gets scattered throughout the brain from lobe to lobe;<br />

Hence, when doing hands-on-healing, I’ve felt that the energy gets scattered throughout the<br />

brain and feels like scattered energy in the palms of the hands of someone with Autism. Also,<br />

for anyone, if the crown, third eye, throat and alta major chakras start to go hyopactivating or<br />

hyperactiving then you will get a migraine, vision problems, memory problems, “brain fog” and<br />

allergies. Goal: Equanimity which is mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper,<br />

especially in a difficult situation. Calmness is in most meditative practices including breathing<br />

techniques, 528Hz frequency of sound healing therapy, and Kundalini yoga which is good<br />

equanimity. See steps for a “melt down” below:<br />

During a Meltdown<br />

1. Tell them ‘you are safe’.<br />

2. Ask them, what are you feeling? State back to them their answer by saying, I<br />

understand that you are feeling _______. What can we do to make it better?<br />

(read below)<br />

3. Ask, can I hug or hold you? Massage the crown of the head, say a prayer over<br />

them.<br />

4. Follow up- see if they have redirected this emotion into something positive like<br />

strength or courage.<br />

Example:<br />

Anger Replace With Strength<br />

1. Say ‘you are safe’. Ask them, what are you feeling? Please help him find the<br />

strength to identify the emotion: ex. anger (having to do the math homework).<br />

2. Ask, can I hug or hold you? Massage the crown of the head, say a prayer over<br />

them. ‘God, please take their anger and replace it with strength.’<br />

3. With courage, have them come up with a compassionate solution (PYAM, pray,<br />

take care of themselves like doing breathing exercise, and write in their journal,<br />

etc.)<br />

4. Follow up- see if they have redirected this emotion into something positive like<br />

strength or courage.<br />

Shame Replace with Empathy<br />

1. Say ‘you are safe’. Ask them, what are you feeling? Please help them empathy<br />

for oneself to identify the emotion: ex. shame (someone they know is hurting)<br />

2. Ask, can I hug or hold you? Massage the crown of the head, say a prayer over


them. ‘God, please take their anger and replace it with empathy.’<br />

3. With courage, have them come up with a compassionate solution (PYAM, pray<br />

for them, sit down and listen to them, write them a letter, etc.)<br />

4. Follow up- see if they have redirected this emotion into something positive like<br />

empathy or compassion<br />

Anger= Sympathetic Functional System Dominance– Student has overstimulated,<br />

hyperspinning of the chakras and thymus: including Soma and RAS (chakras 6–8th) being<br />

hyperactivated, or stopped altogether (deactivated) causing abnormal neuroplasticity via the<br />

vagus nerve. Plus, pathogens from the intestinal tract cause harm from problems with the<br />

thymus. Note: also varied from trying to regulate, align, equalize by moving from acceleratedslow<br />

so one and so forth. Goal is to regulate the deactivated or hyperactive chakras by slowing<br />

down the needed chakras (see below).<br />

Do number #3 for anger/strength, and # 5 for hatred/courage, #2 for peace/bliss then do #7<br />

(visual-I see): lastly, end in RAS do #8 do 6–8th and soma together for the unity of abundance,<br />

unconditional love & I’m worthy! Note: #8 is also (visual- I see) and the Higher Heart Chakra<br />

with pink quartz or pink tourmaline (thymus chakra) for I see God. I am worthy. Others can now<br />

see me too!<br />

Students with Anger Sympathetic System Function Dominance…Therefore, hyper-sensory<br />

processing, accelerated and varied speed processing will be regulated!!! Students will no longer<br />

have — Known as being analytical-literal, verbal linguistic, strong auditory processing, logicalmathematical,<br />

2-D learner and constantly breaking down information and the small details (good<br />

in maths, especially computations and written comprehension as well). Needing Autonomy- ex. I<br />

can do it! I am Worthy! Under stress, is known for fight-or-flight, flee response which is a<br />

physiological reactive response. They can be ultra-religious or non-religious. <strong>Their</strong> “love<br />

language” is action based! They consider what they do (actions) for God and vice versa along<br />

with being instant on answered prayers.<br />

Note: Students with Sympathetic System Function Dominance have a serotonin deficit;<br />

therefore, have lessened pleasure, relaxation, contentment and sensitivity (meaning).<br />

Speaking of the heart and not feeling “worthy”- They may have problems with receiving<br />

strength, knowledge, faith, reverence, obedience (lust, hatred, jealousy, envy), perception (gives<br />

resistance, judgment based off logic (outward appearances, not seeing the heart of someone),<br />

patience, courage, abundance, empowerment, attachment and autonomy, entrapment (desire,<br />

lust, fear), release (courage, trust), transformation (acceptance, harmony), revelation<br />

(unconditional love) or transfiguration (joy). Again, they need the soma and RAS #8 chakra<br />

(chakras 6th-8th).


Response: Better with short-term memory using habits and addictions based on facts,<br />

forms/functions. They tend to focus again on the present and immediate situation. Which<br />

dysfunction of the Vagus Nerve and RAS and the soma chakra leads to negative perceptions<br />

and meaning of being angry– dominance, fight/flight (flee) and accelerated speed and varied<br />

processing.<br />

Hyper-proprioceptive, somatic and vestibular (hyper-gross motor ability dysgraphia, cerebral<br />

palsy). They are active and about doing things.<br />

Hyer-norepinephrine (diligence- fight, flight, flee & hyperarousal). Reactive with anger and have<br />

hyper-speed (accelerated) processing and long-term memory issues. If they have autism, they<br />

are known as `runners”. They think of the present and reacting instantly gets them to the<br />

“What?” much faster. The “what” is the most important factor for gaining meaning. Therefore, for<br />

them the “why” is not as important to answer for they use the scientific method of deductive<br />

reasoning. They learn best from movement and “doing” including auditory experiences and<br />

lectures, as well from reading and listening to others knowledge and information, analyzing<br />

“facts” and circumstantial evidence, and then formulating their theory and hypothesis.<br />

Hyper-visual processing leading to convergence and other visual processing issues (Third-eye<br />

chakra #6, Pons area of the brain-Soma chakra, #8 for RAS). Both: Left-Lateral Dominance=<br />

Autism can have Irlen Syndrome which is a problem processing light (more common).<br />

See graph below- If your body is toxic, it cannot maintain health such as Autoimmune diseases.<br />

Stimulating your liver with the detoxification layout releases toxins and encourages your<br />

lymphatic system to remove them, bringing about a physical cleansing. A Yellow Jasper or<br />

Obsidian at your solar plexus stimulates an emotional detox as well. This with Smoky Quartz,<br />

Drusy Chrysocolla energetically stimulates liver function and moves heavy metals out of the<br />

body.<br />

Also, it leads to abnormal neuroplasticity. They need the ABC’s of Self-Directed Neuroplasticity<br />

(See Below)<br />

Shame= Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance– Student has understimulated,<br />

hypospinning of the chakras and thymus: including Alta Major and RAS (chakras 6–8) being<br />

hypoactive, or inactive, stopped altogether (deactivated) causing abnormal neuroplasticity via<br />

the vagus nerve. Plus, pathogens from the intestinal tract cause harm from problems with the<br />

thymus. Note: also varied from trying to regulate, align, equalize by moving from slowaccelerated<br />

so one and so forth. Goal is to stimulate the deactivated or hypoactive chakras by<br />

speeding up the needed chakras (see below).<br />

Do number #1 for shame/empathy, and #4 for grief/compassion, and #2 for peace/bliss, & then<br />

do #6 (auditory- speaking, hear & listen); lastly, for RAS do #8 do 6–8th and alta major together


for the unity of abundance, unconditional love & I’m enough! Note: #8 is also (auditoryspeaking,<br />

hear & listen) and the Higher Heart Chakra (thymus chakra) with moonstone for I hear<br />

and speak of God. I am enough. Others now listen, hear/speak to me too!<br />

Students with Shame a Parasympathetic System Function Dominance…Therefore, hyposensory<br />

processing, slow and varied speed processing will be regulated!!! Students will no<br />

longer have — Known as being evaluative- visual spatial reasoning (good with geometry and<br />

maps and geography, computer graphics) learns best by “doing”, “whole-picture”, “out-side of<br />

the box” thinkers, 3-D learner and constantly getting “the big picture”.<br />

Needing Attunement- ex. I am Enough. Under stress, is known to freeze and “rest and digest”<br />

response which is related to the autonomic nervous system. They can be ultra-spiritual. They<br />

consider how they feel for God. <strong>Their</strong> “love language” are words of affirmation based! They have<br />

a strong faith in God but feel not enough.<br />

Note: Students with Parasympathetic System Function Dominance have a dopamine deficit;<br />

therefore, have lessened pleasure, reward, motivation, and euphoria (meaning and motivation).<br />

Speaking of the heart and not feeling “enough”- They may have problems with receiving<br />

empathy, wisdom, hope, power, willingness, intuition, destruction (death, guilt, shame),<br />

entrapment (desire, lust, fear), release (courage, trust), transformation (acceptance, harmony),<br />

revelation (unconditional love) or transfiguration (joy), surrendering (due to pride), acceptance<br />

(gives resistance, judgment based off evaluation (outward appearances, not<br />

listening/hearing/speaking to the heart of someone), compassion, beauty, joy, mercy,<br />

attachment and attunement. Again, they need the alta major and RAS #8 chakra chakras 6th-<br />

8th).<br />

Response: Better with long term memory based off of perceptions and choices for meaning<br />

(past and future) and motivation (autonomy and attunement), based on past experience and<br />

need for future reference. Therefore, they tend to focus and filter based on the past/future. With<br />

dysfunction of the Vagus Nerve and RAS and the alta major chakra, this leads to filters of<br />

shame, subordinance, freeze, and slow speed and varied processing.<br />

Hypo-proprioceptive, somatic and vestibular (hypo fine-motor ability dysgraphia). They can be<br />

considered less active and have poor handwriting.<br />

Hypo-norepinephrine (diligence-freeze, hypoarousal, mainly; poor short-term memory retrieval).<br />

Filters with shame and have slow speed processing (the controversial low cognitive speed) and<br />

short-term memory issues. Remember, they are thinking of the past/future not so much the<br />

present. <strong>Their</strong> meaning is not present related as much as the need for the future and past. The<br />

“Why?” is the most important factor for gaining meaning. Therefore, for them the “why” is<br />

important to answer. Therefore, for them the “what” is not as important to answer for they use<br />

the scientific method of inductive reasoning from specific observations and intuitions to make<br />

broad generalizations. They learn best from movement with gross motor and tactile experience,


as well from “doing” by experiencing visual observations, formulating their own theory and<br />

hypothesis, and verbalized conclusions and confirmations.<br />

Right-lateral dominance: Dyslexia, aspergers, can have specific language deficits including<br />

dysnomia, apraxia (speech) and even dysphasia with both possibly having dyscalculia. Right-<br />

Lateral Dominance= Autism can have language deficits including dyspraxia (speech disability)<br />

and even dysphasia with both possibly having dyscalculia (less common).<br />

Hypo-auditory processing leading to dyslexia and other central auditory processing issues and<br />

sometimes a dyspraxia (speech disability) (Throat #5, Pons area of the brain-Alta major chakra<br />

#8 RAS (chakras 6th-8th).<br />

Also, it leads to abnormal neuroplasticity. They need the ABC’s of Self-Directed Neuroplasticity<br />

(See Below)<br />

NOTE: Dysregulated and Dysfunctional System Responsive System Dysfunction (RSD)<br />

and Total Learning System Dysfunction (TLSD) works in a downward effect from RAS-<br />

PONS-THYMUS which can have all dysregulation diagnosis. They need Daily Functional<br />

System Regulation (DFSR) Thymus-Pons-RAS with doing Exercises & Activities for Lateral<br />

(Para/Sym-above) & Total Functioning System Dominance). It is for the mind, senses, body and<br />

spirit: On a physical and mental level, the goal is the vagus nerve and RAS & ACC/HPA to be<br />

functioning in alignment in the chakra system and balance of electromagnetism with mainly<br />

complementary to medicine such as: On a physical, mind and sensorial level, color/sound<br />

therapy, hands on healing, yoga, meditation, prayer/praise & worship, affirmations and<br />

breathing techniques. On a metaphysical and spiritual level, they can gain autonomy and<br />

attunement, release anger and/or shame and replace with strength and empathy to have<br />

bliss/peace, harmony, gratitude, comfort and unconditional love along with removing all fear and<br />

ask me about autism (See Section 6-Note: CAN is ACC/HPA and both controlled by RAS).<br />

Cook’s Theory of a Daily Functional System Regulation (child- DFSR) or Complete<br />

Functional System Regulation (adult- CFSR)<br />

If you use 10-25 percent of your brain power and you nurture our nature, you can do<br />

exercises and activities on the thymus, pons and RAS including God awareness along<br />

with healing DNA and the lower personal self (for children- different for adults ages 24<br />

plus); then, as an adult you could reverse a dysfunctional system and have a complete<br />

functional system regulation: Therefore, you can focus on higher transpersonal self by<br />

healing your DNA by unlocking the rest of your (yourself & family- line) God-head unity<br />

(twin flame) of glory, victory including increasing your brainpower, super genius, or<br />

possibly acquire psychic powers like mind reading and telekinesis while reducing<br />

illness, learning differences, relationship problems, etc…-Tricia Cook


Work Primarily PYAM Daily:<br />

● Prayer working on Thymus (high heart chakra)<br />

● Yoga working on Pons (crown chakra)<br />

● Affirmation/Meditation working on RAS (soma, alta major chakras)<br />

Especially, if there’s a day that might include triggers or learning stressors!<br />

NOTE: For helping a Dysregulated and Dysfunctional System such as Responsive<br />

Syste m Dysfunction (RSD) and Total Learning System Dysfunction (TLSD), I suggest<br />

Daily Functional System Regulation (DFSR) Thymus-Pons-RAS<br />

which works in an upward effect!! Go By The Promises Of God In The Bible (see below)<br />

The Body & Soul (the heart & mind)<br />

Chapter 6<br />

Speaking of the mind along with not feeling “enough”nor “worthy” — those with neurodiverse<br />

may have problems with receiving empathy, wisdom, hope, power, willingness, intuition,<br />

destruction (death, guilt, shame), entrapment (desire, lust, fear), release (courage, trust),<br />

transformation (acceptance, harmony), revelation (unconditional love) or transfiguration (joy),<br />

surrendering (due to pride), acceptance (gives resistance, judgment based off evaluation<br />

(outward appearances, not listening/hearing/speaking to the heart of someone), lacking<br />

compassion, beauty, joy, mercy, attachment and attunement. This can be very troubling for the<br />

child as well as the carer of that child. A troubled body and mind is not what we want nor what<br />

God wants for us! We want comfort and peace that the Word has told of Jesus’ gifts, the Holy<br />

Spirit transforming our wishes, and God’s promises of blessings and miracles! Roman 15:13; 2<br />

Corinthians 12:9 (ERV) Also, Primordial Needs are our blessings and treasures due to God's<br />

mercy and grace which includes God's Trust/Gifts and Truth/Wishes: Blessings/Miracles<br />

(promise) that will happen on a body, mind and spirit level! Is your child having a hard time<br />

learning from you? Are they angry or weepy (shame) especially when it comes to teaching your<br />

child? How can you help them if you don’t have it in yourself. Here are some intents and prayers<br />

of Acceptance of God’s own/others gifts, wishes, values, ideas, thoughts, and perspectives<br />

(blessings/miracles) upon you, your child’s carer. Note: These intents and prayers below help<br />

you to accept and not resist or judge the circumstances but know it had to happen.<br />

5:23 (ERV)<br />

Affirmation of Faith: I am blameless. I have purity.<br />

Let me tell you about the ABCs of self-directed neuroplasticity, and more posts on the go. The<br />

ABC’s of Spiritual Mindset and Self-directed Neuroplasticity along with the trust of the body,<br />

soul, and spirit. They can be hard to heal due to each individual’s circumstances, experiences,<br />

and attitudes. They can be hard because the anger/shame and hatred/grief responses are<br />

survival tools and actually work for some people; to a point, where it doesn’t work for them any<br />

longer and can be actually harmful to their and others’ safety. They have to want to release,<br />

heal and lose control to gain connection. Plus, the findings on epigenetics (above) let us know<br />

the epigenome can be something temporary. This is why RAS which includes the alta major<br />

chakra and the ACC/HPA with soma chakra including the thymus takes awareness, work and<br />

needs to be “worked on daily”. [No worries, I will give you ways in the revolutionary program,<br />

ELBERT and I’m here to coach you along the way to heal your DNA- for generations can<br />

benefit from revolutionary teaching! Again, awareness including knowledge and wisdom,<br />

controlling chemical markers, and matters of the body, heart, and mind are key to all this<br />

change.]<br />

Marmas- OUR BODY POINTS OF LIGHT<br />

Toxicity of negative thoughts, feelings and ideas especially disparagement and lack of<br />

equanimity causes blockages in the marmas and nadis (see the pons and peripheral nervous<br />

system along with the thymus above in ch. 4). Speaking of the “whole child”- there are pressure<br />

points called marmas in our body. These can be given added pressure, massaged, tapped.<br />

They have different ways of soothing that your child can learn as well as yourself. The following<br />

can be done in 3-second increments (see right):<br />

NOTE:<br />

Hypersensitive child: do deep pressure press on the specific marma point.<br />

Balanced child (both hypo/hyper- do tapping on the specific marma point.<br />

Hypersensitive child: do light massaging on the specific marma point.<br />

Tapping & EFT phrases- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRq8o1MEUtU<br />

Positive thoughts fire and wire together; meaning, when you're learning the assimilation and<br />

accommodations done in the brain will be perceived in empathy and strength (children) or<br />

courage and compassion (adults) or whatever affirmation or positive intent practiced most often.<br />

The toxicity and flow of chi (balance of the ALL chakras especially thymus) again affects the


way our genes are expressed, genetic markers and creates epitome. [retrieved on 12/31/2020<br />

Note: Think of the body as the four pillars or sides of a pyramid are closely connected to<br />

the symbolism of the TREE (Tree of Life); it also represents stability, and a broken pillar<br />

represents death and mortality (Jesus’ Salvation). In the Hebrew and Christian traditions,<br />

pillars of internal FIRE (Sacred Fire) and smoke signify the presence of God, and God<br />

punished Lot by changing his wife into a pillar of salt. The Tree is also represented with<br />

3 pillars based on Kabbalah (Gnosis) includes 3 pillars: The book of creation 22 Hebrew<br />

letters which consist of God Consciousness at the head (crown) and root (our physical<br />

being). The 3 pillars: Left pillar of Severity-Wisdom (Yin) is masculine (new brain-native<br />

american), Right pillar of Mercy-Understand (Yang) is femine (old brain- native american).<br />

Prayer, meditation, and studying the Torah/Bible (10 zipoph) which leads to true<br />

spiritually will Balance-Will the pillars (YinYang). Other representations: The body is<br />

Jesus, the heart is Mary (for Catholics), the mind is The Holy Spirit of God!! We are made<br />

wonderful, actually perfect!<br />

“But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48 NLT<br />

Affirmation of Glory: I am perfect love. I have no fear.<br />

Cook’s ABC’s<br />

Note: illustration 5.1 All three types of having a Functional System of Dominance (FSD) are<br />

about the ABC’S of Self-directed Neuroplasticity:


Affective: Affirmations and Attunement<br />

Behavioral: Body and Breath<br />

Cognitive: Connection, Curiosity, and Consistency<br />

Spiritual: Safe and Supportive<br />

Facilitate: Natural Inquiry Of <strong>Their</strong> Mind<br />

What most people don’t know! Losing Connection Is On A Soul-Cellular Level; Mainly,<br />

Due To Pleading Disparagement and Needing to Gain Trust Your Mind, Others and Mainly<br />

Yourself (God).<br />

Disparagement- is expression of a low opinion of someone’s thoughts, ideas, & feelings which<br />

causes anger and shame contributing to the biggest offense to someone’s soul. You’ve heard<br />

the saying, ‘those who have shame, shame others; likewise those you have attract shameful<br />

experiences.’ Every cell in your body holds hundreds of pages of information on all levels of<br />

your being: physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Cellular memory is a theory that the<br />

body’s cells retain memories independently from the brain but the mind (thymus). Similarly, the<br />

glia, (also called glial cells or neuroglia) which are non-neuronal cells, are the bases for the<br />

deeper meaning held in what is lost and needs to be reclaimed- the big picture of our purpose of<br />

being here on earth and conscious connections with God (ARAS).


The goal of the ABC’s is Spiritual Mindsight w/ Self-directed Neuroplasticity!<br />

Again, Neuroplasticity is the capacity of nerve cells to biologically adapt to circumstances, to<br />

change their connections and behaviour in response to new. Most importantly, the<br />

transformations of glia cells is something miraculous with gaining spiritual mind sight, hearing it<br />

even mindset!<br />

Observe: information presented and environment, sensory stimulation, development, damage,<br />

or dysfunction.<br />

Goal: mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation<br />

(equanimity).<br />

Reinforce: Spiritual Mindsight w/<br />

Self Directed Neuroplasticity<br />

Translates: To Positive Epigenetic Signatures<br />

Again, the main goal is to heal our very own DNA holistically through exercises and activities<br />

which block or ease the production of specific inflammatory proteins (toxicity) excreted by the<br />

gut-brain axis, decreasing biochemical reactions that happen between the Pineal, Pituitary,<br />

Adrenal & Carotid Glands along with by activating and aligning the Thymus (via vagus nerve<br />

chakra) and Pons, RAS & ACC/HPA (alta major and soma chakras) causing decrease in<br />

deficiencies while regulating our own biofields (including electromagnetic fields). This is the<br />

divine stamp where you are regulated and experiencing harmony and devoted to your purpose.<br />

You need to again, speaking of the “whole child”- you need to examine every aspect of their<br />

learning, not just the end goal or result which is literacy and their appropriate learning behavior.<br />

Ways to look at neurodifferences holistically: observe and take observational notes on the<br />

child…<br />

50% <strong>Nature</strong>- 50% <strong>Nurture</strong> (focus on epigenetics and self-directed neuroplasticity with PYAM):<br />

https://developingchild.harvard.edu/resources/what-is-epigenetics-and-how-does-it-relate-tochild-development/<br />

Observe: information presented and environment, sensory stimulation, development, damage,<br />

or dysfunction. Another goals, understand the unique learning difference by examining each<br />

child’s neuro-systematic learning functions (All learning goes by these areas and systems:<br />

vagus nerve, frontal lobe (limbic system), brainstem and midbrain, along with cortical<br />

neurosystems as it relates to the triune brain.<br />

Limbic– My literacy lesson plan template that includes the multiple intelligences along<br />

with 4 F’s: Facts, Forms/Functions, Feelings & Future. Note: Limbic Areas that are<br />

typically included in the limbic system fall into two categories. … and (brainstem)<br />

processing side and short-term memory (the limbic cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus)<br />

and (midbrain) which is a small part of the brain above the pons that integrates sensory


information and relays it upward. In terms of long–term physiological changes, it is also<br />

associated with long-term memory. For assessment and ongoing evaluation, I use a<br />

rapid word and letter-sound recall checklist, plus some informal observations included in<br />

the lesson plans-mentioned above.


SEE CHAPTER 10 for Complete Lesson Plan & Natural Inquiry Learning<br />

Brainstem– I have a fight, flight, flee and freeze PARA/SYMP observational checklist<br />

which includes alternative and holistic activities and exercises for the release of<br />

stressors and reactivation of the vagus nerve (vagus nerve chakra-thymus) to the body<br />

for instance: prayer, yoga, affirmations, meditation, breathing, emotional coaching<br />

exercises and activities that look at the “whole child” and activating the vagus nerve for<br />

instance.


Midbrain– A screening and recommendations for vestibular, proprioceptive, somatic<br />

issues, along with speech/language development, auditory, and visual processing. Note:<br />

It’s a 30 page screening.

The Gift- using their strengths<br />

People with Dyslexia have sound and language processing problems. In the mind is where<br />

we interpret our experiences and environment, they will struggle to connect letters to sounds<br />

and mainly problems identifying speech sounds. In the mind, they auditorily have problems<br />

learning how they relate to letters and words which is called Dsyphonetic (shameauditory-PFD);<br />

as well, in the mind, those with visual processing problems struggle to<br />

understand visual information such as letters, shapes, or objects and, mainly problems<br />

processing graphic symbols. In the mind, they visually have problems learning how they<br />

relate to letters and words which is called Dsyeidetic (visual) Dyslexia (anger- visual-<br />

SFD).<br />

Related to the absorption and processing of sounds [sounds especially can be omitted from the<br />

middle position of words the most because it’s the last sound to be processed; even though, it’s<br />

in the middle position. Therefore, students with dyslexia most commonly omit letter sounds,<br />

words, phrases in the middle position, then the end, and least commonly the beginning. When


they omit, they might do sounds confusions such as repetition(s), substitution(s), addition(s) or<br />

delete altogether, on the other hand (hypo-shame-PFD); transversal and reversal are more<br />

common in students with a visual processing problem (hyper-anger-SFD)- have them<br />

remember: if it doesn’t look or sound right reread or rewrite till you’re brain feels like “it’s just<br />

right” [trust your brain- you are smart, you can do it, and you are love].<br />

People with Dyslexia also have a high coexistence of ADHD (3 types). In the mind, people<br />

with ADHD and Dyslexia have difficulty processing the basic sounds of language (phonemes)<br />

and graphic symbols causing fluency struggles. They “stumble over words” due to reading and<br />

processing too fast (hyper-anger-SFD)/slow (hypo-shame-PFD); mainly, in the beginning-ending<br />

of word, sentence, paragraph, passage– rest of the time not too fast/slow sometimes it’s “just<br />

right” (I call this “varied reading rate”- Total Functioning Dominance (TFD)). If the prosody,<br />

reading rate, and expression/intonation objective aren’t met and they still don’t seem to<br />

comprehend; mainly, in the beginning-ending of paragraph, passage, etc. have them remember:<br />

if it sounds or looks too fast or slow, or robotic, then adjust your prosody and reading rate by<br />

rereading so it will be “just right” [trust your brain- you are smart, you can do it, and you are<br />

love].<br />

Because dyslexia and dysgraphia have a high coexistence too and cannot be cured,<br />

students can develop tools and strategies to help their working memory, phonological<br />

awareness, reading, speaking, and spelling. For Spelling, Dsyeidetic (visual-surface dyslexia)<br />

Dyslexia and Dysgraphic (hyper-shame-SFD) students need sound-word knowledge. In the<br />

mind, Sound-word knowledge is how many letters and how many sounds are in each word.<br />

Again, related to the absorption and processing of sounds, sounds especially can be omitted<br />

from words by the student, students with dyslexia most commonly omit letter sounds, words,<br />

phrases in the middle position, then the end, and least commonly the beginning. When they<br />

omit, they might do repetition(s), substitution(s), addition(s) or delete altogether or fusions, on<br />

the other hand; transversal and reversal are more common in students with a visual processing<br />

problem. After Spelling a word, have them remember: if it doesn’t look or sound right reread or<br />

rewrite till your brain feels like “it’s just right” [trust your brain- you are smart, you can do it, and<br />

you are love].<br />

[They need to check their spelling by counting the letters to see if they added or deleted<br />

any letters. They count the sounds to see if they repeated, substituted, or fused any<br />

sounds to the word.]<br />

People with dyslexia and ADHD- hyperactive type (reads/writes similar to those autism and<br />

hyperlexia appearing as dysgraphia)- In the mind, they read too fast, they skip over words<br />

and lines for which breaks down comprehension mainly, skips over small sight words (sight<br />

word/nonsense words are hard) about the same level in height (ex. one) and/or reading the end<br />

position of a big word (6 plus letters) by dropping the last part of the word does run-on reading<br />

(skipping over commas, periods), reads robotically with less intonation, and tends to<br />

overthink/get overwhelmed, anxious (hyper-shame-SFD)- needs to fidget or doodle, or<br />

rock/move, stand, when reading also tends to have dsyeidetic (visual dyslexia aka surface<br />

dyslexia).


Many people with just dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyslexia along with ADHD are notoriously<br />

known for “guessing at words” and stories meaning despite having average/high IQ due to the<br />

dyslexia and ADHD tendencies! In the mind, they are having natural universal emotions of<br />

learning (such as anger, shame which need to be replaced with strength and empathy, as well<br />

as remembering calm). The tendencies change according to the reading, hour day, week, etc..<br />

Also, the tendencies way heavily on if they are sick, hungry, tired, or stressed. Reading can<br />

make them feel ill with headaches, stomach aches/knots, tight shoulders/neck and even dizzy.<br />

These are signs of a Dominance Functioning Issue or Responsive System Dysfunction<br />

(RSD)!<br />

How do you know if you have Dsyeidetic (visual) or Dysphonetic (auditory) Dyslexia? HERE<br />

image7.1 the complete Responsive System Dysfuncti on (RSD) illustration<br />

Thought: In this next section, think about the high rate adopted/fostered students with learning<br />

differences!<br />

What happens generationally when our shame and anger cup(s) fill up (see image<br />

below)? Generational anger leads us to Sympathetic Functional System Dominance and


generational shame leads us to Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance for both<br />

even Total Functional System Dominance (TFSD). You think I’m talking about only the<br />

child’s energy of shame/anger? No…it’s their cups and those generational before them<br />

through the child’s DNA. Anger/shame energies can be passed through the soul (the<br />

mind on a cellular level) and are represented in our DNA to the student (epigenetics)<br />

which is stemming from past familial trauma (generational maternal/paternal anger,<br />

shame, hatred, grief, prenatal emotions, developmental or shock trauma of having<br />

exposure to negatively perceived experiences, and learning difficulties- actually any of<br />

the factors that I mentioned in the first paragraph). As a child, unreleased anger and<br />

shame needs to be replaced with empathy and strength (atonement) and, as an adult,<br />

the anger can be transmuted to hatred that needs to be replaced with courage and the<br />

shame to grief that needs to be released with compassion. This lack of atonement and<br />

not releasing and replacing has led our humanity to so many learning differences,<br />

illnesses, weakness, and possibly even the soul’s death. If we learn to release fear and<br />

replace it with love, God, through our (RAS) Rectangular Activation System, Pons &<br />

Thymus along asking for forgiveness of our trespasses (not always showing grace and<br />

mercy). He will help us realize and we could only learn how to become closer to Him by<br />

asking Him into our soul. God-Authentic Soul just as we originally had come into this<br />

world which was pure-child-like and blameless. No worries…You will be given an<br />

awakening where His Divine Powers and righteousness become whole- pure and<br />

blameless, if you ask Him. Finally, for salvation, our spirit can live an eternity with Him.


Can we heal our DNA for future generations or empty the cups of anger and shame?<br />

Notice: You think I’m talking about only the person’s energy of shame/anger? No...it’s<br />

their cups and those generationally before them; anger/shame energies can be passed<br />

through the DNA (epigenetics), stemming from developmental or shock trauma of having<br />

exposure to negatively perceived experiences. Anger leads us to Sympathetic Functional<br />

System Dominance and Shame leads us to Parasympathetic Functional System<br />

Dominance. Again, generationally with our ancestors, unreleased anger and shame being<br />

replaced with empathy and strength has led our humanity to so many learning<br />

differences, illnesses, and even spirits death (condemnation). If we learn to release and<br />

become connected to our God and others, He will help us realize and release our sin,<br />

learn how to become closer to Him and be given His Divine Powers.<br />

Yes...for autonomy you need attunement; for attunement you need atonement!! This is<br />

receiving the gifts, wishes, blessings and miracles for which He has in store for you.<br />

Note: Remember RAS & HPA and hypothalamus/thalamus- sensory processing and the<br />

speed processing of information (includes also the hippocampus- which is in the limbic


system and regulates perceptions of anger/shame, long-term memory). Therefore, our<br />

neurobiology (neurosystems), central and peripheral nervous system, complete chakra<br />

and electromagnetic (biofield) systems are all dysfunctioning simultaneously and<br />

individually at different degrees and causing epigenetic attacks- leading to abnormal<br />

neuroplasticity. Goal is for ALL our systems to function equalized, activited, and<br />

balanced with a dysfunctioning system. Don’t worry our Glass is HALF-Full and we can<br />

still make a change!!! SEE parent and caregiver checklist and questionnaire before the<br />

appendix and holistic-alternative suggestions below!<br />

BETTER WAYS TO NURTURE THEIR VERY OWN NATURE<br />

image 6.2 Cook’s Think of Our Brains as a Computer<br />

Therefore, our “computer systems” aka neurobiology (neurosystems), nervous and systems,<br />

complete chakra, and electromagnetic systems are all dysfunctioning simultaneously and<br />

individually at different degrees and causing abnormal neuroplasticity. Goal is for ALL our<br />

systems to function equalized, activated, and balanced with a dysfunctioning system. I suggest<br />

you work with their strengths (see below) to help with their weaknesses. Gardeners MI- will help<br />

you discover their gifts!!


Strengths of a Learning Difference<br />

PARASYMPATHETIC FUNCTIONAL SYSTEM DOMINANCE STRENGTHS (natural<br />

compensation(s) or early development for neurodeficits and neurodiversity):<br />

holistic- spiritual, subjective, innovator, “gets things”- intuitive (wisdom), world view, naturalistic<br />

loves feelings and functions/future= interest-appreciative based learning, loves mysteries and<br />

asking “why” with inductive reasoning especially human psychology<br />

entrepreneur (not a follower but developer)<br />

interest based learning- other content ex birds, travel brochures<br />

empathic, empathetic<br />

large gross motor ability w/body awareness w/ well balanced EF


fantasy based- storytelling (fiction)<br />

body awareness EF (hyper/hypo)<br />

list-form thinking- poetry especially patterns and rhythm, anecdotal notes<br />

narrative and expository writing<br />

understands “true meaning”- whole-part-whole like philosophical<br />

sensitive (hyper, hypo)*- low self-esteem, emotional intensity<br />

sight words- learned words easier<br />

creativity- “outside of the box” thinking<br />

visualization/imagery- “movie cinema” thinking<br />

imagination-concrete thinking<br />

synthesis- logical<br />

PP intuitive- future oriented goal setting<br />

philosophy/spiritually related learning<br />

inductive reasoning- observation<br />

evaluation- form of logic<br />

good with long term memory- faces not name<br />

can be good in science, geography and geometry<br />

long-term memory unless an EF, phonological deficient and neither “break down tools”<br />

long-term memory- direct correlation with visual sensory memory “picture/movie thinking”<br />

visual-spatial thinking-learning (hypo,hyper)*<br />

kinesthetic/tactile thinking- learning (hypo,hyper)*<br />

smell-taste (hyper, hypo)*<br />

SYMPATHETIC FUNCTIONAL SYSTEM DOMINANCE STRENGTHS (natural<br />

compensation(s) or early development for neurodeficits and neurodiversity):


auditory thinking-learning<br />

auditory thinking-learning (hypo, hyper)*<br />

non-fiction (note: unless interest-based and written out, complete steps required<br />

analysis- form of logic<br />

analysis- logical (break down category and sequence (steps)<br />

loves facts, forms and functions asking “what” with deductive reasoning<br />

avoids being personable- people oriented, social<br />

deep introspective about self- ego task oriented<br />

Isolated-inverted, task-oriented<br />

not philosophy/spiritually related learning<br />

ultra-religious<br />

good with short term memory- names not faces<br />

past (unless interest), present goal setting<br />

sensitivity- balanced<br />

decoding-sounding out words<br />

vocabulary- interest, religion and philosophically oriented “language inventory”<br />

“language inventory” states “I know already…”<br />

vocabulary- non-interest oriented<br />

works at “true meaning” part-whole<br />

rhyming/alliteration- with language not so much rhythm & beat<br />

isolated rhyming/alliteration language<br />

interest of foreign language learning<br />

foreign language learning<br />

free flowing analysis of information


can be good in maths (less with geometry)<br />

chopped up information- can eventually be made whole or complete<br />

spelling (sight words) & spelling (phonetic)<br />

Total Functional System Dominance NEEDS- these are their needs (ask me which one is<br />

Para/Sym.- also ask me about Autism)<br />

graphic organizers for solving math word problems, geometry<br />

solving word math problems, operations needs to be applicable and real life<br />

list-form-separated out reading (isolated words and passages)<br />

smooth & fluent reading- audio books & modeled reading<br />

can be with history, “the arts” including language, visual, musical<br />

cursive<br />

(RR) recall and repetition in the “short-term” memory stage especially categorical and sequential<br />

POETRY- great with rhythm, chant, patterns, tone and tonality/inflection<br />

synthesis- weed out important information with graphic organizers<br />

organizing- categorically and sequentially the information already weeded out with certain text<br />

book (ask me) or “working memory task”<br />

comprehending- future/past with Socratic method<br />

comprehending- present with pictures and art work with MIND MAPS, Drawings w/ Dictations,<br />

Cartoons, or Anecdotes<br />

internalizing language (receptive language)- JOURNAL<br />

has problems with inferencing and others point of view- needs “social stories”<br />

externalizing language (expressive language) or vice versa- DEBATE or “Socratic Methods”<br />

emotional -dramatic, intense, emotional coaching and emotional reappraisal (see below section)<br />

dramatic, emotional (hyper,hypo) needs outlets like karate, painting. musical instrument, drama


non-focused, impulsive and hard with social relations- needs to volunteer with kids with physical<br />

impairments at ball field<br />

inattention (hyper, hypo)- needs “listening skills”<br />

focus- needs to record and practice “life skills”<br />

problems with literacy- needs a systematic, & explicit literacy instruction (possibly multi-sensory)<br />

The Spirit<br />

Section 7<br />

Reinforce: Spiritual Mindsight w/ Self Directed Neuroplasticity<br />

Mindsight, a skill we can all develop to break free from mental patterns that get in the way of<br />

living our lives to the fullest; A practical definition of the mind — distilled from a dozen scientific<br />

fields; The triangle of well-being — how to promote a healthy flow between your mind, brain,<br />

and relationships. Self-directed neuroplasticity, then, is the ability for the brain to change itself<br />

depending on how you direct your thoughts, focus, and attention. The “self-directed” piece<br />

refers to your ability to intentionally shape your brain by using it in a specific way to increase<br />

resilience and positive attitude in the face of aversion. The Sound & Color (below) can be done<br />

daily but as often as possible.<br />

Think about your soul (heart and mind) as energy and constantly make a hum, by focusing on<br />

the vowel sounds, with each word can be drawn out while your fingers are in either of these<br />

intended positions. See which “feels” right for you. The no right or wrong way!<br />

For Anger Sympathetic System Functional Dominance, do the ones that say Hyper- ex.<br />

/luuuuumm/ with the right hand with the thumb and index finger touching;<br />

For Shame Parasympathetic System Functional Dominance, do the ones that say hypo- ex<br />

/loooomm/ with the left hand with the thumb and index finger touching<br />

For Total Functional System Dominance, do the one that says balance in /vaaaaamm/ with the<br />

second from top hand together for chi.


(adults) For Complete Functional System Dominance, do the one that says balance in<br />

/shaaaamm/ and /oooooomm/ with the last and second to last hand together for chi<br />

Marmas- OUR BODY POINTS OF LIGHT<br />

Again, toxicity causes blockages in the marmas and nadis. The toxicity and flow of chi (balance<br />

of the chakras) again affects the way our genes are expressed and creates epitome. Toxicity<br />

can be environmental and in our foods which can affect our learning...read here “Marma points<br />

are energy blockages in the body located at the seventh level of the skin but they convey<br />

messages to the deeper layers and organs and are thus considered the “inner pharmacy of the<br />

body.” There are 117 marma points depending upon the system you follow. When a marma is<br />

sore or sensitive to the touch, there is inflammation or some toxicity (ama). Marmas block the<br />

flow of prana or the vital life force throughout the body (there are 72,000 nadis or pathways in<br />

the body where prana circulates) therefore it is important to unseat, release or clear what is<br />

stuctoon order to promote awareness of the body and mind.”<br />

Chapter 8


PYAM DAILY<br />

Work Primarily PYAM Daily:<br />

● Prayer working on Thymus (high heart chakra)<br />

● Yoga working on Pons (crown chakra)<br />

● Affirmation/Meditation working on RAS (soma, alta major chakras)<br />

Especially, if there’s a day that might include triggers or learning stressors!<br />

Note: The prefrontal cortex, neocortex is regulated by the RAS and soma chakra via the<br />

HPA. The basal ganglia, hippocampus is regulated by the RAS and alta major chakra via<br />

the ACC. The cerebellum (movement gives us our social connections) hence this<br />

connection to others, social relationships and is regulated by the amygdala and pons<br />

(God awareness) and crown chakra (6th-8th chakras). The thymus (vagus nerve chakra)<br />

is our mind- receiving the mind of Christ (see, hear, feel God), perceive as God does, and<br />

all His perfection this is regulated by this high heart chakra.


Speaking of the “whole child”-heard and love this quote, “prayer is talking to God, meditation is<br />

listening [seeing] to God”! Try out mediation for your child with a learning difference. They could<br />

hear positive, loving messages from God when meditating!! “If you are anxious, you are living in<br />

the future. If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are at peace, you are living in<br />

the present. If you are in the present and nervous, you are needing to connect and give up<br />

control. You have to want to release, heal, and lose control to gain connection.” I was diagnosed<br />

with “Central Auditory Processing Disorder'' in 1983. We referred to it as a Learning Disability; at<br />

least, this is how I remember my mom saying it to other people. I went to numerous private


schools in New Orleans, LA (of the ones I actually could “get into''). You think teachers<br />

nowadays don't know about how to help learning differences; just think about 40 some odd<br />

years ago. I struggled to say the least not only academically but socially/emotionally, spiritually,<br />

and every domain of child development. Kids were not forgiving or kind to my slow nature of<br />

learning and my reading/spelling. I was very frustrated, mad and upset, and so were my<br />

teachers. Don’t get me wrong, I had some caring teachers; but even then, they didn’t know how<br />

to help. As I retrained my brain (the rewiring activities for self-directed neuroplasticity-discussed<br />

below to learn in my upper 30’s, there was one component missing which were my true feelings<br />

and God-soul connection). I wasn’t frustrated, mad and upset; but actually I was Angry and<br />

Ashamed due to abandonment and disparagement to those I “looked up to”, by the people that<br />

trusted and were supposed to be helping and teaching me. Disparagement is a low-opinion of<br />

some else’s thoughts, feelings, and ideas (again the biggest soul offense that someone does<br />

and others allows). I had a Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance. This is why I wish<br />

teachers, my parents and others could have understood me and my strengths…Read My Story<br />

Here: Brunette-locks and the Three Doors.<br />

I also touch on the safe and supportive, positive learning environments, toxicity and other<br />

environmental factors for instance you can view some of the activities and exercises like PYAM<br />

DAILY (prayer, yoga, affirmations, and meditation). In my classes and sessions, I cover the<br />

affirmations of strengths [remember to trust your brain and heart and mind: I am smart, I can<br />

do this, I am love]. A neurodifference can be perceived as having “gifts'' such as: We are highly<br />

intelligent and have the ability to use tools and strategies to compensate for struggles to read,<br />

write, or spell. We may excel at thinking of “outside the box” solutions, seeing a problem from<br />

many different sides, and spatial relationships along with the ability to think in 3 dimensions. We<br />

often have intuitive and insightful, well-developed social awareness and emotions (EQ) while<br />

possessing a lexicon of words to help with the synonymous “whys of dyslexia”. We also have<br />

deep and holistic list-form thinking, problem solving and building/constructing abilities, computer<br />

skills and gaming strategies. Lastly, we seek out endeavors of creative, imaginative, visual,<br />

artistic and visionary skills, inventing and innovating pursuits.<br />

Prayer<br />

Kids can do it too! Model prayer to them, pray with them...encourage daily! It really works to<br />

take their anger and shame that their learning difference can trigger! Speaking of the “whole<br />

child”- Help them with “emotional appraisal” by looking at this feelings chart for prayer coaching<br />

(see chart below). They usually exhibit anger and shame (as they get older other prescriptions<br />

develop such: as grief and hatred).Speaking of the “whole child”-heard and love this quote,<br />

“p<br />

rayer is talking to God, meditation is listening to God”! Try out mediation for your child<br />

with a learning difference. They could hear positive, loving messages from God when


meditating!!“You have to want to release, heal, and lose control to gain connection.”-<br />

Tricia Cook<br />

“Each day, set yourself the task of deliberately withdrawing your attention<br />

from the objective world and of focusing it subjectively. The day you achieve<br />

control of the movements of your attention in the subjective world, you are master<br />

of your fate.Our imagination, Neville Goddard taught, is the God-seed and Christ in<br />

you is your imagination: He saw literal and final truth in Psalm 82:6, “Ye are gods.””<br />

https://www.harvbishop.com/neville-goddard-a-cosmic-philospher/?fbclid=IwAR2y-<br />

Sxj-4V1eox3ZjD-ch7LjTpL_EnUlBBeSyEWD4Elv2CQNJA6Yza8VTU<br />

When have you asked your child, what positive did you have today?<br />

Where is your focus of attention as being important?<br />

Where is our children’s focus and attention?<br />

Is our focus on being important enough on our own body, mind, and spirit?<br />

In today’s time, is our attention to God and His Word?<br />

Is your focus mainly positivity in attitude and thoughts?<br />

How do you perceive yourself? How do you think others perceive you?<br />

If you have anger, you can have hyperarousal and become frustrated, reactive, impulsive,<br />

irritable, anxious, etc. and if you have shame, you can have hypoarousal and become “shut<br />

down”, sluggish, needy, weepy, avoidant, etc.. You could have these responses normally! This<br />

is why it would be important to practice along with PYAM them (Prayer, Yoga, Affirmations and<br />

Meditation)!! Also, ask me below about the complete adult ELBERT program!! If you know<br />

someone with a learning difference and or stress responses, I’d say focus on releasing anger<br />

and strength and shame and replace it with empathy. Note: The prayer includes meditation and<br />

the yoga includes affirmation.


Affirmations<br />

Speaking of the “whole child”- the child with learning differences usually feels like “they are not<br />

worthy” if they have perceptions of anger and if they have filters of shame they usually feel like<br />

“they are not enough”! This set intent rewires the RAS, adds to attunement and gives them<br />

more motivation to learn!!<br />

A learning difference can bring up emotions such as anger (strength mantra) and shame<br />

(empathy mantra) as well as hatred (courage mantra) and grief (compassion mantra) for people<br />

older. If the anger and shame become too much, this can trigger sympathetic and<br />

parasympathetic responses and affect you neurologically, as well as, socially/emotionally,<br />

physically, mentally and spiritually.<br />

Power of I AM (Affirmations)<br />

I AM is the self-definition of the absolute, the foundation on which everything rests. I AM is the<br />

first cause-substance. I AM is the self-definition of God. I AM is a feeling of permanent<br />

awareness. The very center of consciousness is the feeling of I AM. I may forget who I am,<br />

where I am, what I am, but I cannot forget that I AM. The awareness of being remains,<br />

regardless of the degree of forgetfulness of who, where and what I am. For example:<br />

I AM hath sent me unto you. [Exodus 3:14]<br />

I AM THAT I AM. [Exodus 3:14]<br />

Be still and know that I AM God. [Psalm 46:10]<br />

Prayer/Praise & Worship (PPW)<br />

Prayer/Praise & Worship (PPW)- ask me about hand-on-healing and prayer and my adult<br />

bible study. Note: You can also do SOAP with the students as an activity. The goal is<br />

actually reaching atonement which is to release all hatred (fear) and go back to an<br />

Authentic God-soul essence (unconditional love)! That He died on the cross, so we MAY live<br />

(our choice- autonomy and attunement). I know His love and purpose for me along with a<br />

life of living His Will (a totally Blameless Life).<br />

Jesus is the way, the light, and the truth; He is the way to truth of pure light and virtue.<br />

John 14:6 (KJV) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life [light]: no man<br />

cometh unto the Father, but by me. To shine your light so bright that it WILL overcome<br />

ALL darkness (fear)/hatred and only love WILL prevail on Earth.<br />

RAS YOGA<br />

Speaking of the “whole child”- it takes large motor movement in order to coordinate the body to<br />

the mind. The increased focus will also help their short-term memory. The lower yoga positions<br />

and to the left are for releasing shame and replacing with empathy. The lower yoga posses (little<br />

higher than shame) and to the right are for releasing anger and replacing with strength.<br />

Yoga Develops:<br />

Good Balance & Muscle Tone<br />

Concentration<br />

Focus & Attention<br />

Self-Discipline<br />

Good Vestibular and Proprioceptive Sense<br />

Meditations


Speaking of the “whole child”- if they have feelings of anger they could be hyperarousal, this<br />

affects their breath and ability to think (making logical decisions) especially when doing a<br />

stressful task such as reading. They might exhibit responses of impulsiveness, aggressiveness,<br />

and agitation (along with hyperactivity). NOTE: go to emotion chart to see if anger or shame<br />

occurs when they're reading!! You might be surprised what you find.<br />

If the child has gone beyond the perception of anger and has internalized filters of shame, this<br />

also affects their ability to breathe. They might exhibit responses of “shut down”, ruminating on<br />

the negative, and even depression (along with hypoactivity). Likewise, one thing of having a<br />

learning difference is physiological problems- such as headaches, stomach aches, allergies,<br />

hives, inflation, etc..<br />

Chapter 9<br />

You need to observe the student’s sensory acute response to stress and interview teachers the<br />

child, and parents, observe input/output of motor, verbal, and written behaviors in response to a<br />

literacy activity such as a phonics inventory, word- sound knowledge, phonological awareness<br />

exercises, and working memory activities along with the student’s interest survey and overall<br />

behaviors based on executive, somatic and autonomic functioning. My program is named

includes the important help for the triune brain which includes the following: Brainstem- I<br />

have a fight, flight and freeze sympathetic/parasympathetic observational checklist; Midbraina<br />

screening for vestibular, proprioceptive, somatic issues, along with speech/language<br />

development, auditory and visual processing; Limbic- My lesson plan template that includes<br />

the 4 F’s: Facts, Forms/Functions, Feelings & Future along with a progress monitoring tool;<br />

Cordial- holistic, alternative suggestions for taking care of the whole child’s individual,<br />

dynamic needs. Lastly, my program, ELBERT, includes a self-guided literacy intervention<br />

program, along with other coaching through a course on understanding Dyslexia and<br />

consulting (first one Free)!

Although Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences (MI) is over a decade old,<br />

teachers are still trying to find the best way to use this theory to assess students with<br />

different styles of learning and varied academic strengths. Multiple Intelligences shape<br />

the way students understand, process, and use information.<br />

comparison amongst color, font, size, and presentation. Note: Comic Sans Font and 11- 30 pt.,<br />

avoiding black/white, mixture of high-frequency, sight and phonetic words, and spacing. Can you use<br />

it for reading then spelling those missed (see list below- to check visual processing).<br />

JOURNAL Writing- [There is] evidence that environments, schedules, and<br />

rituals restructure the writing process and amplify performance… The<br />

principles of memory retrieval suggest that certain practices should amplify<br />

performance. These practices encourage a state of flow rather than one of<br />

anxiety or boredom. Like strategies, these other aspects of a writer’s method<br />

may alleviate the difficulty of attentional overload. Pocket. (2019). The<br />

Materials: copy paper, pencil<br />

The student will write and/or 10 word spelling sample onto copy paper, mark<br />

position (words ex. for the word cap below)characteristics and markers, and make<br />

note and percentage).<br />

Why spelling words?<br />

The middle sounds even though in the middle position is the last to be processed.<br />

The last sound even though the last position is the second to be processed. Since<br />

language sound processing is needed for spelling, you will observe them<br />

misspelling mainly in the middle position, then the last position by doing omissions<br />

(leading to deletions, additions, substitutions, repetitions)! Orton Gillingham<br />

methods are great for helping anyone who has these sound processing issues.<br />

Have you ever seen anyone fix a b/d reversal by sounds, phonics, and auditorily<br />

methods? I have not. I have seen visual methods such as drawing a /bed/ work,<br />

noting the hands L/R, and holding up the hands. Mainly, I have seen where a<br />

developmental or behavioral optometrist, OT, or special lenses have helped the<br />

most.<br />

Natural Inquiry Based Learning (NIBL)<br />

I can tell you right now; NILB Natural Inquiry Based Learning is not two denominational<br />

worksheets. It usually is a three denominational related image produced in the mind due to<br />

strong visual-spatial reasoning. Can you imagine being described in a very plain room but inside<br />

your own mind you've filled every dimension of room with every detail such as: color of curtains,<br />

size of the lamp shades, dimensions of the coach, color and size of the plant in the corner within<br />

seconds of being told about this very plain room? If you have dyslexia, like myself, you<br />

actually create a 3D image looking down at the room. The creativity, imagination and innovation<br />

is through the roof with someone with dyslexia. The logic of-evaluation of size, shape, color and<br />

dimension is a known strength. This is why common occupations of those with dyslexia include<br />

the following: cartographers-map makers; artist; interior designers; chefs; actors; VG technology<br />

and IT- internet/web development; print and broadcast media; marketing and advertising;<br />

athletes; manufacturing; assembly and industry; commercial driving; and skilled trades.<br />

View graph above, those with dyslexia have inductive reasoning. We have to do our<br />

OWN observations first and use our own “gift” of strong 3D visual-spacial abilities.<br />

Next, we are really good with finding patterns in color, space, size and dimension<br />

(evaluative logic). Then, formulate our OWN hypothesis and next theory (where<br />

confirmation is not needed because it’s our OWN “gift” of intuitive, holistic<br />

abilities based on our OWN evaluative logic). Lastly, those with dyslexia are highly<br />

intelligent (average-higher IQ); Meaning, we can problem solve without any prior<br />

knowledge or having seen or experienced the problem before!<br />

Productivity looks different for those with dyslexia and other neurodifferences;<br />

It’s called Divergent Production. We use what’s called inductive reasoning instead<br />

of deductive reasoning; it’s a divergent type of thinking. See image below, I do<br />

know the observations made first in inductive reasoning includes patterns found<br />

only with the help of giving them tools of text analysis, critical thinking, and<br />

research in literacy. NOTE: Motivation looks different for those with dyslexia and<br />

other neurodifferences. The students I serve are usually interest-based learners<br />

who have an affinity for nature, people, and mainly animals.<br />

Reading IN Research: Includes Reading, Vocabulary, Comprehension and<br />

Background Knowledge! Cross Reference: Dyslexia is a neurological reading<br />

disability that is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word<br />

recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities [49]. Secondary<br />

consequences include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading<br />

experience that can impede vocabulary growth and background knowledge. (web<br />

view 11/17, link)<br />

For example (below), this is my online class (Animal Myths, Tales, & Legends:<br />

Dyslexia Help Discovering Research In Literacy; https://mythlord.tumblr.com/post/170086352044/most-creatures-per-country)<br />

for unique<br />

learners with learning differences and those who take pride in interest-based<br />

learning. The students will listen and be encouraged to read famous (and not so<br />

famous) animal/nature-related myths, tales, and legends. When reading someone<br />

else's writing, their brains can’t move on till their own “whys'' are answered and what they<br />

can develop aka innovate! For text analysis, I will ask open-ended questions of what<br />

and why and discuss vocabulary after each paragraph in order to facilitate an<br />

analysis of the text and background knowledge (For which, I have found always<br />

deficient in those with dyslexia). These are questions that will have more than one<br />

right answer and encourage students to make a judgment call- they are then<br />

encouraged to write down or say one possible research question to answer their


“why” question related to the text. <strong>Their</strong> discovery and inductive reasoning will be<br />

discovered when using this technique of text analysis along with such hypotheses<br />

along with questions that can foster in-class debates! They will take their<br />

observation, hypothesis and further questioning to do the research in-class and<br />

possibly outside of the class. This technique again will create what’s natural to all<br />

unique learners’ which is inductive reasoning and topics of nature/animal<br />

orientation and using mind maps. Then, the students will discover the explorations<br />

of data and delve into the real data to decide how best to use, interpret, and<br />

display it. Therefore, this will increase their comprehension naturally.<br />

Do you get angry by showing frustration when you are teaching your<br />

child? Do you have shame by weeping when you are teaching your<br />

child?<br />

Tweet<br />

OR<br />

Does your child or yourself get angry or sad when you try to help<br />

them? Have you ever wondered about the nature and nurture related<br />

to learning differences?<br />

Tweet<br />

If you have anger, you can have hyperarousal and become frustrated, reactive, impulsive,<br />

irritable, anxious, etc. and if you have shame, you can have hypoarousal and become “shut<br />

down”, sluggish, needy, weepy, avoidant, etc.. You could have these responses normally!<br />

This is why it would be important to practice PYAM (Prayer, Yoga, Affirmations,<br />

Meditation), along with them!! Also, ask me below about the complete adult ELBERT<br />

program!! If you know someone with a learning difference and or stress responses, I’d say<br />

focus on releasing anger and strength and shame and replace it with empathy. Let’s then talk<br />

about the nature-nurture of a learning difference and see other steps for contacting me<br />

below!!<br />

One of the major goals for self-directed neuroplasticity and epigenetics includes<br />

holistic alternatives and activities like PYAM daily is to block or ease the<br />

production of specific inflammatory proteins (toxicity) excreted by the vagus<br />

nerve and align and balance the seven chakras (soma/alta major also) including RAS<br />

& ACC/HPA areas of the brain to regulate our own electromagnetic fields. When<br />

you activate the chakras (major 7 and soma/alta major- HPA/ACC) and normalize,<br />

balance the vagal tone & electromagnetic field, it will stop the negative proteins


and allow the body to calm, gain positive attitudes and make learning more<br />

pleasurable and effective; therefore, also the Reticular Activating System (RAS)<br />

needs to be activated via the Vagus nerve.<br />

What is epigenetics related to child development & learning?<br />

I understand the impact anger and shame that a negative social environment has on those who have<br />

learning differences, or as I prefer to say “neurodifferent”, ELBERT is a program that employs a<br />

positive attitude and positive environment towards learning for those who have difficulty with<br />

learning. Instead of allowing shame and anger to overwhelm the learner, I focus on bringing in<br />

positive emotions and teaching methods that help the learner with their learning difference.<br />

Please take time today to read this article and think about: How students with<br />

learning differences perceive the universal emotions which are the following


shame, empathy, anger, strength, hatred, courage, grief, and compassion when it<br />

comes to their learning!! I have a suggestion for those students who have emotional<br />

intensity and/or major empaths. For students with dyslexia, the goal is reducing<br />

shame and anger which will help them in perceiving their existence as well as<br />

learning with strength and empathy by using PYAM:<br />

and what recommendations or accommodations are best for them?<br />

Tweet<br />

People with Dyslexia have a sound and language as well as visual processing<br />

deficiency. Related to the absorption and processing of sounds especially can be<br />

omitted from words spoken by the student, students with dyslexia most commonly<br />

omit letter sounds, words, phrases in the middle position, then the end, and least<br />

commonly the beginning. When they omit, they might do repetition(s),<br />

substitution(s), addition(s) or delete altogether, on the other hand; transversal and<br />

reversal are more common in students with a visual processing problem. Do they<br />

have Dsyeidetic Dyslexia (visual-surface dyslexia) or VPD- Visual Processing or<br />

Dysphonetic Dyslexia (phoentic dyslexia) or APD- Auditory Processing? Please read<br />

the following:<br />

VPD- Visual Processing= Sympathetic Lateral Functioning System Dominate APD-<br />

1. VISUAL DISCRIMINATION ISSUES:<br />

Trouble seeing the difference between similar letters, shapes, or objects. Try a<br />

search and find!!<br />

2. VISUAL FIGURE-GROUND DISCRIMINATION ISSUES: Struggle to<br />

distinguish a shape or letter from its background.<br />

3. VISUAL SEQUENCING ISSUES: Find it difficult to see shapes, letters, or<br />

words in the correct order; may skip lines or read the same line over and over.<br />

4. VISUAL-MOTOR PROCESSING ISSUES:Trouble using what they see to<br />

coordinate with the way they move; may struggle to write within lines or bump into<br />

objects while walking.


5. LONG- OR SHORT-TERM VISUAL MEMORY ISSUES: Struggle to remember<br />

shapes, symbols, or objects they’ve seen, causing issues with reading and spelling.<br />

6. VISUAL-SPATIAL ISSUES: Trouble understanding where objects are in space;<br />

unsure how close objects are to one another (check out horizontal and verticals<br />

spacing in their handwriting- HARDEST TIME COPYING WORDS)<br />

7. VISUAL CLOSURE ISSUES: Difficulty identifying an object when only parts of<br />

it are showing (check out a,o in their handwriting).<br />

8. LETTER AND SYMBOL REVERSAL ISSUES: Switch numbers or letters when<br />

writing, or may mistake [check out these in their handwriting] “b” for “d” or “w” for<br />

“m” (p,q) aka “Directional Dyslexia”.<br />

Dsyeidetic Dyslexia Dyslexia (visual-surface dyslexia) is a SPECIFIC LEARNING<br />

1. PROBLEMS IDENTIFYING SPEECH SOUND AND LEARNING HOW THEY<br />

RELATE TO LETTERS<br />

Defined by difficulty processing the basic sounds of language (phonemes),<br />

sounds of letters and groups of letter resulting in very<br />

slow and labored reading. Common confusions of sounds with auditory type dyslexia<br />

//i/e, y/w, s/z, a/o/, f/v and x as /k/ only not /kw//.<br />

3. LEARNING DISORDER<br />

that affects your ability to read, speak, write, and spell (see below) In the medial<br />

position (mostly) you’ll see omissions of sound processing hence the students will<br />

add, repeat, substitute and even delete all together letters, words in the middle of<br />

the word, phrase, sentence or paragraph (check the medial, final, and initial letters<br />

in their spelling). Hard time with dictation and transcription writing- due to<br />

spelling, working memory. and executive functioning. *Note: Students can have<br />

What is sound word knowledge? Sound word knowledge is recognizing and recalling<br />

how many letters and how many sounds are in each position of a word. It helps<br />

students with dyslexia because they have the tools to help them when they omit<br />

letters/sounds in the middle of the word. For this: they need a strong working<br />

memory along with categorizing and sequencing skills!<br />

Working Memory: Sequencing & Categorization Cards-Before you begin even<br />

alphabetic, I suggest doing activities of phonological awareness, including language<br />

and listening. For language and listening, you need to develop their sound word<br />

knowledge (described above) as well as their categorization and sequencing skills.<br />

(Note: the opportunity to teach ordinal numbers: first, second (next), third (last)).<br />

Working Memory:<br />

The students will develop their own “word attack” strategies, vocabulary, and<br />

sentence structure. The students will learn reading and writing strategies as tools<br />

to take them the rest of their lives by using hands-on technology<br />

(Whiteboard.chat), systemic (Quizlet presentation) and individualized learning<br />

methods. Have you ever heard of “out of context, out of mind?” The definition of<br />

language, itself, refers to the ability of someone being able to decode/encode<br />

symbols and creating meaning behind the symbols. I use “the students” own<br />

words/language along with their visual-spatial skills, background knowledge to<br />

teach them reading, writing and speaking skills. Again, hopefully, change the<br />

literacy students’ lives by adding confidence and future learning for your family (I<br />

encourage families to listen-in, ask questions, and sometimes participate)!<br />

Homework includes reading for pleasure, sight words, and writing down vocabulary<br />

Spelling & Dyslexia<br />

People with Dyslexia have a sound and language processing problems. They will<br />

struggle to connect letters to sounds and, mainly problems identifying speech<br />

sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words Dsyphonetic; as well,<br />

those with visual processing problems struggle to understand visual information<br />

such as letters, shapes, or objects and, mainly problems processing graphic symbols<br />

Dsyeidetic (visual-surface) Dyslexia . Related to the absorption and processing of<br />

sounds [sounds especially can be omitted from the middle position of words the<br />

most because it’s the last sound to be processed; even though, it’s in the middle<br />

position], Therefore, students with dyslexia most commonly omit letter sounds,<br />

words, phrases in the middle position, then the end, and least commonly the<br />

beginning. When they omit, they might do sounds confusions such as repetition(s),<br />

substitution(s), addition(s) or delete altogether, on the other hand ; transversal<br />

and reversal are more common in students with a visual processing problem- have<br />

them remember: if it doesn’t look or sound right reread or rewrite till you’re brain<br />

feels like “it’s just right” [trust your brain- you are smart, you can do it, and you<br />

are love].<br />

Furthermore, people with dyslexia have a sound and language processing problems<br />

and struggle to connect letters to sounds as well, those with visual processing<br />

disorder struggle to understand visual information such as letters, shapes, or<br />

objects and graphic symbols. Because dyslexia cannot be cured, students can<br />

develop tools and strategies to help their working memory, phonological awareness,<br />

reading, and spelling. Read More Here:<br />

handwriting help is to teach your child Cursive because ‘It’s easy on<br />

the hand; It’s easy on the mind’!<br />

Tweet


CURSIVE- Always lower case at 90% mastery first! Begin with dry erase- teach<br />

cursive first, always get lower case to 90% until upper case. if doesn’t go well see<br />

below for block. For CURSIVE: learn the ”c, l, i, n” then you can learn many other<br />

letters. Start with marker and dry erase…easier for students. Note: Upper case is<br />

not written into this program, but you can be as fancy as you want as long as it<br />

resembles others uppercase. (google uppercase- cursive, pick font and stick with<br />

it). Practice on computer using https://www.whiteboard.chat/ (go to grids, or press<br />

primary lined) with her particular color overlay (I find students are either light<br />

yellow or blue-see which works best):<br />

Does your student or yourself still struggle with grammar?<br />

Tweet<br />

Grammar is actually an abstract concept. How should you intervene for grammar in<br />

tutoring sessions? I can tell you right now; it is not two denominational worksheets.<br />

It usually is a three denominational related image produced in the mind due to<br />

strong visual-spacial reasoning. Can you imagine being described in a very plain room<br />

but inside your own mind you’ve filled every dimension of room with every detail<br />

such as: color of curtains, size of the lamp shades, dimensions of the coach, color<br />

and size of the plant in the corner with-in seconds of being told about this very<br />

plain room? If you have dyslexia, like myself, you actually create a 3D image looking


down at the room. The creativity, imagination and innovation is through the roof<br />

with someone with dyslexia. The logic of-evaluation of size, shape, color and<br />

dimension is a known strength. This is why common occupations of those with<br />

dyslexia include the following: cartographers-map makers; artist; interior<br />

designers; chefs; actors; VG technology and IT- internet/web development; print<br />

and broadcast media; marketing and advertising; athletes; manufacturing; assembly<br />

and industry; commercial driving; and skilled trades. Grammar done with<br />

Whiteboard.chat includes a “work space” to interact as you work on Grammar the<br />

ability to use our list-form thinking abilities in a creative outlet with color, shape,<br />

size and dimension are possible.<br />

Tweet<br />

Poetry is a stepping stone…I use poetry and pictures usually of nature to help my<br />

students with dyslexia. Poetry speaks to both sides of the brain like music in the<br />

fact that it includes language/rhythm (yes…rhyme too); mainly, It’s like music- it<br />

has language and rhythm which is healing. Likewise, poetry has rhyme, meter which<br />

has a pattern just as in music. The main thing for dyslexia is that poetry being a<br />

stepping stone for other forms of writing such as short stories and journaling;<br />

mostly; it includes list-form thinking, creativity, and text simplification (depending<br />

on the complexity, of course). Also, through writing poetry, it rewires the brain<br />

and connects us to our subconscious! Speaking of the subconscious, poetry is a<br />

great outlet for the emotional and mental bodies which can be intense sometimes<br />

for the dyslexic brain. Read more here.<br />

Inferring/Predicting Strategy<br />

Linking words and phrases (aka Transition words) are used to show<br />

relationships between ideas to classify, serialize, categorize, and analyze


information (break-down for comprehension) which can be difficult for those<br />

with dyslexia. They can be used to join 2 or more sentences or clauses (a<br />

clause is a group of words which contains a subject and a verb). This creates<br />

fluidity of thinking and thoughts for the reader, as well as, the writer.<br />

When is doing math word problems, does your child or yourself ever<br />

wonder why I am learning or teaching this?<br />

Tweet<br />

Let me give the background of logical-mathematical word problems and those with<br />

nuerodifference such as dyslexia and autism. The biggest problem in math is that<br />

is presented as an abstract concept and due to logical-mathematical/language<br />

deficits students struggle with word problems specifically. We will pre-read real<br />

life problems that affect our world as it relates to their interest people, animals<br />

and nature. We are going to take that data, discuss it and develop a potential word


problem and formulate a workable equation, figure out the best graphic organizer<br />

to analyze the data, do a real read, revisit the word problems and relate to the<br />

equation and compute, and, lastly, discuss and evaluate our findings and solutions to<br />

their very own word problem. As you read above, students with neurodifferences<br />

can have logical-mathematical/language deficits. They also have strength of<br />

synthesis, this is pulling out key information due to their interest. But, they can<br />

have problems logically breaking down that information and putting that<br />

information into a logical sequence and category. I have have found visual-graphic<br />

organizers are key to conquering word problems.<br />

If you have anger, you can have hyperarousal and become frustrated, reactive, impulsive,<br />

irritable, anxious, etc. and if you have shame, you can have hypoarousal and become “shut<br />

ELBERT program!! If you know someone with a learning difference and or stress<br />

responses, I’d say focus on releasing anger and strength and shame and replace it with<br />

empathy. Let’s then talk about the nature-nurture of a learning difference and see other steps<br />

for contacting me below!!<br />

<strong>Nature</strong>– is maturation of brain and body: ability to perceive, give meaning, learn,<br />

and act including motivation and resilience. Speaking of the “whole child”- the vagus<br />

nerve connects the brainstem to the body. Vagus Nerve- The vagus nerve is one of<br />

the cranial nerves that connect the brain to the body. This vagal balance allows the<br />

triune brain to monitor and receive information from our environment; The triune<br />

includes the brain stem, midbrain, and frontal lobe. The brainstem helps us receive<br />

information from our environment. The midbrain helps us to process information<br />

from our environment. The frontal lobe to perceive the universal emotions which<br />

are the following: shame (sadness), empathy, anger (frustration/anxiety), strength,


hatred, courage, grief, and compassion. The vagus nerve (thymus- vagus nerve<br />

chakra) can be deactivated, underdeveloped, hypoactive, or going inactive in<br />

children (adults-too); therefore, releasing specific inflammatory proteins at the<br />

gut-brain axis which can be toxic to the triune brain. The vagal balance is when all<br />

chakras are aligned!<br />

The vagus nerve also is connected to RAS including the ACC/HPA. Reticular<br />

Activating System (RAS)– The reticular activating system (RAS) is a network of<br />

neurons located in the brain stem that project anteriorly to the hypothalamus to<br />

mediate behavior, as well as both posteriorly to the thalamus and directly to the<br />

cortex for activation of awake, desynchronized cortical EEG patterns (RAS info:<br />

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYlpZ5F4668). NOTE: ‘The RAS is said to be<br />

the gas pedal [slow, accelerate or varied speed processing] that ignites the<br />

diencepha-lon (the hypothalamus and thalamus) as well as the cortical areas [where<br />

all long-term memory/storage takes place] of the brain’ (Petty, 1996).<br />

More specifically, the RAS is the connection between the brain and the<br />

gastrointestinal tract. Likewise, the vagus nerve has two bunches of sensory nerve<br />

cell bodies, and it connects the brainstem to the body and vagal nerves carry<br />

somatic and visceral afferents that can alter the activity of brainstem reticular<br />

centers. Remember it also allows the brain to monitor and receive information<br />

about several of the body’s different functions including the parasympathetic<br />

(shame) and sympathetic (anger) response system at the point of the brain-gut<br />

axis by activating the seven chakras including the soma/alta major via the vagus<br />

nerve, it can continue doing its job of helping us connect our brainstem to the<br />

body; lastly, (ARAS) will be activated on the cerebral cortex which is responsible<br />

for the achievement of consciousness.<br />

<strong>Nurture</strong>– is the adaptation of children responding to the demands of the<br />

environment in ways that meet their own goals and function in a safe and secure<br />

way. It’s also the organization to integrate particular observations (patterns first)<br />

into a body to form coherent knowledge; primarily, It’s the basis on the child’s<br />

need for meaning and motivation. Lastly, they need to be provided a safe,<br />

supportive, healthy, and loving environment to prevent kids from learning from<br />

primarily either their mental or emotional body (anger/shame) nor solely etherical<br />

(total). Relative to epigenetics (see below), my specific emphasis in the paper and<br />

program is the heart for instance: anger being replaced with strength, shame being<br />

replaced with empathy and both with love: therefore, they will increase their<br />

connection, trust, and love for themselves and others. There’s a lot to be said for


Maria Montessori’s observations of trusting the universe along with ‘the child’. If<br />

we love and trust our children, this becomes their inner thoughts, feelings, ideas,<br />

and perspectives. When they trust their own brain [and heart], they can<br />

experience the “gifts of dyslexia” and learn anything the way they learn best.<br />

Speaking of the “whole child”- if they have feelings of anger they could be<br />

hyperarousal, this affects their breath and ability to think (making logical<br />

decisions) especially when doing a stressful task such as reading. They might<br />

exhibit responses of impulsiveness, aggressiveness, and agitation (along with<br />

hyperactivity). NOTE: go to emotion chart to see if anger or shame occurs when<br />

they’re reading!! You might be surprised what you find.<br />

If the child has gone beyond the perception of anger and has internalized filters<br />

of shame, this also affects their ability to breathe. They might exhibit responses<br />

of “shut down”, ruminating on the negative, and even depression (along with<br />

hypoactivity). Likewise, one thing of having a learning difference is physiological<br />

problems- such as headaches, stomach aches, allergies, hives, inflation, etc..Do you<br />

or your child have hyperarousal, hypoarousal or balanced?<br />

In my book <strong>Nurture</strong> <strong>Their</strong> <strong>Nature</strong> also touches on the safe, positive learning<br />

environments, toxicity and other environmental factors for instance you can view<br />

some of the activities and exercises like PYAM DAILY. In my classes and sessions,<br />

I cover the affirmations of strengths [remember trust your brain and heart: I am<br />

smart, I can do this, I am love]. A neurodifference can be perceived as having<br />

“gifts” such as: We are highly intelligent and have the ability to use tools and<br />

strategies to compensate for struggles to read, write, or spell. We may excel at<br />

thinking of “outside the box” solutions, seeing a problem from many different<br />

sides, and spatial relationships along with the ability to think in 3 dimensions. We<br />

often have intuitive and insightful, well-developed social awareness and emotions<br />

while possessing a lexicon of words to help with the synonymous “whys of dyslexia”.<br />

We also have deep and holistic list-form thinking, problem solving and<br />

building/constructing abilities, computer skills and gaming strategies. Lastly, we<br />

seek out endeavors of creative, imaginative, visual, artistic and visionary skills,<br />

inventing and innovating pursuits.<br />

Effects of ADHD: ADHD- Impulsive & Hyperactive Type<br />

What to Look For…<br />

–reads too fast, they skip over words and lines (slow down reading)<br />

-skips over small sight words and/or reading the end position of a big word-<br />

Tends to be a better phonetic word reader- needs heavy, distinct, and<br />

systematic for sight and nonsense words (see column far right).<br />

-do run-on reading (skipping over commas, periods), read robotically with less<br />

intonation- see beginning of this article and listening to perfectly modeled<br />

reading rate, intonation, etc..<br />

● to overthink/get overwhelmed- they need to remember calm, be able to<br />

fidget/move, and work with the universal emotion of anger.<br />

Effects of ADHD- Inattentive Type<br />

What to look for…<br />

-reads too slow, they skip over words and lines (slow down reading)<br />

-skips over large phonetic words and/or reading the end position of a big<br />

word- Tends to be a better sight word reader- needs heavy, distinct, and<br />

systematic for phonetic words (see column far right). Also, ask about dyslexia.<br />

-does less confident reading (large words), read with intonation until<br />

confident- see beginning of this article and listening to perfectly modeled<br />

reading rate, intonation, etc..


-to daydream/get underwhelmed- they need to remember attention and stay<br />

Encourage active reading by<br />

letting the student use a<br />

highlighter or sticky notes.<br />

Provide information<br />

needed to start writing<br />

assignments early.<br />

Help the student break<br />

writing assignments into<br />

steps.<br />

A routine of<br />

checking in with the<br />

teacher after class to<br />

briefly discuss the<br />

lesson.<br />

Create daily class routines<br />

and stick to them.<br />

Break down big assignments<br />

into smaller pieces with more<br />

deadlines.<br />

Show what a completed<br />

project looks like before the<br />

student begins.<br />

Establish clear starting points<br />

for tasks rather than just<br />

graded.<br />

Give examples of finished<br />

assignments.<br />

Offer alternatives to<br />

giving an oral report.<br />

Adapt test formats to cut<br />

down on handwriting. For<br />

example, use “circle the


in case they’re often<br />

forgotten at home.<br />

Create a homework station<br />

that’s free of visual clutter.<br />

Keep distracting sounds to a<br />

minimum. The goal is to<br />

make your child’s learning<br />

environment as efficient as<br />

possible so there is less<br />

information to process.<br />

Brainstorm with your<br />

child’s teacher to find ways<br />

to increase your child’s<br />

alertness and speed. See if<br />

your child qualifies for<br />

classroom accommodations<br />

that can help with processing<br />

speed.<br />

Ask for more time on tests.<br />

A private space can also help<br />

because many kids with these<br />

issues like to talk aloud as<br />

they’re working through test<br />

questions.<br />

answer” or “fill in the<br />

blank” questions.<br />

Grade based on what the<br />

student knows, not on<br />

handwriting or spelling.<br />

Use a scribe or speech-totext<br />

so the student can<br />

dictate test answers and<br />

writing assignments. (see<br />

Tech. info already<br />

mentioned).<br />

Let the student choose to<br />

either print or use<br />

cursive for handwritten<br />

responses. (I CAN help<br />

with CURSIVE)<br />

(I CAN help with Proof)<br />

Change the way you give<br />

directions. For example, it<br />

may help to give directions<br />

one step at a time. Giving<br />

directions in more than one<br />

way can help too, such as<br />

writing them down and<br />

saying them out loud.<br />

Practice new skills until<br />

they become automatic. The<br />

more familiar your child<br />

becomes with a task, the<br />

greater the chance of<br />

improving processing speed.<br />

But the trick is helping your<br />

child find a balance between<br />

overlearning and feeling<br />

overwhelmed.<br />

Grade based on the student’s<br />

completion of the lesson<br />

goal. (For instance, don’t<br />

grade spelling errors if that’s<br />

not what the student was<br />

supposed to learn.<br />

Provide a quiet area for<br />

independent work.<br />

Let the student sit near the<br />

teacher and away from


auditory distractions, like<br />

doors and windows.<br />

Check in frequently to make<br />

sure the student understands<br />

the work.<br />

Give step-by-step<br />

instructions, and have the<br />

student repeat them.<br />

Use attention-getting phrases<br />

like “This is important to<br />

know because….”<br />

Decide with the student on a<br />

nonverbal signal to show that<br />

a key point is being<br />

made.Break down test or<br />

classwork instructions into<br />

short, written steps.<br />

Highlight key words and<br />

ideas on worksheets.<br />

Give written homework<br />

instructions.<br />

Provide a list of homework<br />

assignments for the week (or<br />

day).<br />

Speak clearly and slowly<br />

when presenting new<br />

information.<br />

Give material on a new<br />

concept to the student before<br />

it’s taught to the whole class<br />

(so the student can get<br />

familiar with it ahead of<br />

time).<br />

Give a list of or highlight key<br />

vocabulary and concepts for<br />

upcoming lessons.<br />

Give a short review or<br />

connection to a previous<br />

lesson before teaching<br />

something new.<br />

Give the student an outline of<br />

the lesson.<br />

Say directions, assignments,<br />

and schedules out loud, and<br />

rephrase as needed.


Repeat key information<br />

throughout the lesson, and<br />

rephrase as needed.<br />

Use visual tools, images, and<br />

gestures to enhance and<br />

support spoken lessons.<br />

Final Chapter<br />

Lastly, the RAS (ARAS) is our consciousness and how we make our thoughts, ideas, focuses,<br />

intents, or dreams into reality. It’s again in coordination with our thymus, and pons along with<br />

the soma/alta major chakras for consciousness-awareness of soul, meaning God’s perceptions<br />

and our purpose. Also, I think about where I have my focus and priorities (God, family and<br />

friends, music/art, the opportunity to be nature, etc.)! Those that get the meaning of life (their<br />

purpose) can then experience all of God miraculous blessings- such as peace, comfort, bliss for<br />

eternity!! The harmony of us ALL having this understanding, and coming back to the meaning of<br />

“The SOUL'' would truly be heaven on earth. In my program, I give the focus and intent of each<br />

activity; but when you, yourself, hears and sees from God- note: your focus as long it’s from<br />

God is always Good (even if it changes from my own personal perspective)!!! Lastly, I believe in<br />

a UNITED EARTH, so I try to represent “the East and the West'' as not being separate- ONE<br />

EARTH. Where Only God can make us “whole”, we are all humans with the same smiles, tears,<br />

sadness, laughter, and neurodifferences. If we ALL focused and found importance in love and<br />

healing, this planet would be even more divinely miraculous (focus on emotional reappraisal).<br />

Therefore, love is the answer to heaven on earth.<br />

Those that have a learning difference, like myself, have divergent critical thinking and use<br />

inductive reasoning which is in opposition to the more common deductive reasoning. I call<br />

it, the “synonymous why” that comes natural to those with a neurodifference; it is<br />

critically for DIVERGENT THINKERS. It is critical because we understand that there are<br />

several possible answers to a problem, crisis, or question which is critical that we are here<br />

on earth; our purpose is to help society in this time of trouble. Those answers may have<br />

not been discovered by scientist YET (covergent thinkers). Let’s stop disparagement<br />

because we as a society, could faced with an influx of “futuristic” discoveries and solutions<br />

that are “ahead of their time.” Therefore, encourage and inspire those with neurodiversity<br />

their natural “why” questioning, perceptions, and generalizations based on the students<br />

inductive reasoning, logic-of-evaluation, synthesis of interest based information, and<br />

observational research. All that is described above, is this is a gift of innovation and<br />

“outside of the box”-DIVERGENT thinking that comes with a neurodifference!!


“…that you will see the difference between what is important and what is not and choose<br />

what is important; that you will be pure and blameless for the coming of Christ;…”<br />

Philippians 1:10 ERV<br />

Affirmation of Hope: I am pure and blameless. I have Christ.<br />

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God,<br />

and knoweth God. 1 John 4:7 (KJV) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:<br />

because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18 (KJV)<br />

“But God has blessed you. You understand what you see with your eyes. And you understand<br />

what you hear with your ears.” Matthew 13:16 ERV<br />

“His pleasure and passion is remaining true to the Word of “I Am,” meditating day and night in<br />

the true revelation of light.” Psalms 1:2<br />
