  • The Power of Reciprocity

    Reciprocity makes the world go round! You cannot have a conversation with someone if they do not respond. This episode will give our followers tips on how to help the important others in your life to reciprocate more or perhaps even better! This parameter of mediation is paired with intentionality, the topic of Episode 2. Although they are two rather complex words, the concept of intentionality-reciprocity is profoundly simple and they go together. You just can’t have one without the other. Listen in!

  • Introduction to Mediation Part 2

    We continue the journey and learn what Feuerstein meant with the theory of "Structural Cognitive Modifiability." This idea was counter-culture when Reuven expounded on it many years ago. Now neuroscience has proven he was right-on and way ahead of his time!

    Kibwe and Dr. Zehr also dig deep into the concept of hope! Can hope actually be frightening? Learn how mediation is much more than getting smarter. It is at the core of human relationships and positive change! Can transforming change happen with as few as 20 or 30 sessions? Listen in to see!

  • Introduction to Mediation

    Why is the process as important as the product? Join us on this journey! Let us introduce how mediation is a process of high quality human interaction to grow your brain! Prof. Reuven Feuerstein, an Israeli psychologist, coined the title "Mediated Learning Experience" to define the best way to help yourself or others to enhance thinking, learning, and living.  If you listened to Season 1, you know all about the 28 cognitive functions. Now discover the method for building them, block by block, thought by thought. It's called "mediation" and it rocks!

    How many assignments does my child have to do

    many people are coming for the holidays? Our brain usually likes to

  • #25 Visual Transporting

    So this is a simple yet profoundly important

    thinking skill. Can my brain copy something correctly from one place to
    another, like words and numbers? I’m great with letters, not so good with
    phone numbers, for example. If the brain cannot do this, then school and
    life will probably be very challenging.
