Christa Gesztesi, M.Ed. Discusses How Brain Gym Reduces Stress and Improves Flexibility and Mental Clarity
Podcast Episode 109 Release Date: April 14, 2017
On this podcast Christa Gesztesi explains how she uses the Brain Gym method to help children and adults improve their flexibility and mental clarity. Christa is the founder of Intelligent Connections and is a Licensed Brain Gym® Instructor. Christa is a tenured New York City school teacher and she teaches the Brain Gym method to the students at her school. Students bring home the Brain Gym to their parents and Christa also holds separate workshops in her school to help parents manage and reduce their stress. Research backs up Christa’s claim that children will follow the temperament of the teacher, so she also manages herself so that her students feel calm following her countenance. Brain Gym helps reduce test taking stress and anxiety. This allows students to remain calm surrounding the testing process so that they perform better. The movement sequence taught using the Brain Gym method works rapidly to actively get the body moving in a way that facilitates an elevated Relaxation Response. This process is transformative and often leads to additional insights for ways to improve the quality of your life. Christa also shares her views on Formative Spirituality and how to find your unique calling in life.

On this podcast Shelby Stanger shares her view of what it means to live life to the fullest while simultaneously having to deal with the realities of life as well as what gives her life meaning. Shelby explains how she learned to deal with rejection of her article submissions as a journalist and how she managed to overcome the shock and despair that arose due to the unexpected early death of her father. As a self described “surfer girl,” Shelby has sand-boarded down desolate dunes in South Africa, standup paddled in a remote part of the Amazon river in Brazil, and surfed big waves in Indonesia and New Zealand. She describes how surfing produces a type of stillness and mindfulness that produces flow. Shelby says that when you’re surfing, there’s no time to think, so you have to learn how to “let go” and trust your instincts. Shelby also explains how she empowers women by teaching them to surf – teaching them to break through fear barriers which gives them courage to rise to the occasion in other areas of their lives.
