<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I begin my Women, Trauma
& Recovery Seminar series group every week by guiding the ladies through
Sandra Rodman’s<a href="http://www.rightbrainaerobics.com/RBX_Sample_Exercises_5-19-12.pdf" target="_blank"> Right Brain Start Up</a> exercise from <a href="http://www.rightbrainaerobics.com/" target="_blank">Right Brain Aerobics</a>. Last week had an
interesting thing happen in the group. I forgot and launched into the
experiential exercise I’d selected for that day. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We were part way into
our topic for that day, and two of the women were bogged down, having trouble
with the opening exercise, when one of them said, “Maya you didn't start with RBA start
up.” I then guided them through Right Brain Start Up and both got
unstuck, and the group was an amazing success. I was on the verge of berating
myself for forgetting – but my next thought was how great it was for these
women (and me) to see the difference between using Right Brain Start Up and
not...</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I'm a very experienced
facilitator, and without Right Brain Aerobics I'd have gone to a variety of variations
on that technique to bring the group in sync, but RBA did it in a
heartbeat. And they talked about it. Several of the ladies are doing it at
least once a day, a few others more than once. But that experience got them
talking about doing it more than once a day, and before other things they
do. Instead of my having to sell the use of it, they got the lesson
through that experience. Once again, experiential wins. Which is the thesis of
my life's work: that experiential exercises “rock” when it comes to growing in
personal power, knowing the answers are within. There is no failure, only
feedback, in human communication. </span></div>
