The brain has two hemispheres and a bridge that connects them.

The logic hemisphere is responsible for logical tasks like simple math, rhythm, telling time, etc. The gestalt hemisphere, (a German word for “whole picture”) is responsible for gestalt activities like identifying color, aesthetics and arrangement, emotional recognition and more. Most activities, like spelling or reading, require both hemispheres, and the corpus callosum is the bridge that connects the hemispheres. The corpus callosum has two main parts: one that runs the muscles of the body (the neuromuscular level) and one that does the thinking (the cortical level). BIT addresses these three important areas in the first few hours of the treatment, optimizing brain function right away. Most people report that their brain “feels clean and clear” after this first session.

The limbic system is the physiological and emotional center of the brain.  It is responsible for making and retrieving memories and houses “reward or punishment centers” which are critical to learning because the motivation to learn is based on reward or punishment. The limbic system also regulates all autonomous functions like heartbeat, sweating, taste, pupillary dilation, blood pressure, hunger, and much more. BIT therefore can re-set the brain's natural motivation and drive to learn. The amygdala, hypothalamus and basal ganglia are all located in the limbic system. You may not realize the deep levels of emotional stress blocking your success at school or work, but BIT can locate the stress and relieve symptoms like sensitivity to lights and emotions, fear of failure and/or success, and lack of organizational skills.

Memory is a complex function of the brain.  Short term, long term and working memory functions only work if the senses are taking in information correctly and the retrieval systems are retrieving information correctly.  BIT addresses all of these areas.  Working memory is like the workspace where we manipulate and process information, particularly when learning something new and completing tasks quickly.  Successful learning requires a functional working memory, and BIT can address even these complex areas of the brain.  Brain Integration, however, cannot address Alzheimer's Disease.

The vestibular system governs how well we balance.  The Corpus callosum governs how the brain uses the body.  These two systems together control how physically active a body can be, whether in sports, school, or at home.  All of the parts must work in conjunction in order to truly function, and ideally, to function well.  Athletes and sports enthusiasts can especially benefit from BIT because this technique can help the body work at its optimal level, preventing injury and healing past traumas. Anyone with an “ache or pain” can benefit from Muscle ReActivation

The vestibular system consists of semicircular canals within the inner ear that provides sensory information to our brains about motion, equilibrium, and spatial orientation. It's very similar to the accelerometer component in your smartphone. It's what tells your screen to flip when the orientation of the screen is changed, can track how fast you're moving, and can even tell when it's falling. A malfunctioning vestibular system can be identified by poor balance, dizziness, or easily becoming lost. The Crossinology® Brain Integration Technique can improve your ability to function in these areas.

 Muscle ReActivation is a very exciting part of BIT.  Although Crossinology Brain Integration Technique focuses on relieving the symptoms of ADD, ADHD and Dyslexia, a BIT practitioner can also address physical issues like shoulder and back problems, knees and hips, ankles and wrists.  Often people suffer for years with symptoms after injuries that never seem to go away.  BIT to the rescue!  Just a few hours of Muscle ReActivation can address those lingering issues and help you regain what you thought was lost.  People who have had no discernable injuries often report feeling more stable, strong and capable after Muscle ReActivation.  Imagine your yoga practice after all of the muscles work!  Imagine your golf game getting better after your core really is working.  These changes have nothing to do with working out and everything to do with how well the brain uses the muscles.  Results happen right away.

 Malfunctioning muscles in the eye can affect your eye-hand coordination, memory, and reading ability. If all muscles are working properly, your eyes should be able to move smoothly to each position, track side-to-side, change focal point, and rotate clockwise and counter-clockwise. You can check this at home by having someone hold an object at arm's length and attempt to follow it in the above mentioned patterns. If your eyes appear to be jumpy, out of sync, or you feel stress on the muscles, you might benefit from doing BIT.    

What causes muscles to be uncoordinated? Like deep level switching, emotional or physical trauma can reduce the effectiveness of one or more muscles.  Imagine that opposing muscles are having a tug-of-war and one of the muscles is weaker than the other.  The eye is always going to move one direction better than the opposite direction. 
Additionally, the torque, or tension, of each muscle might be different because of a misaligned sphenoid bone.  This bone joins the cranium and the face, but isn't directly attached to the hard matter, allowing it to be free floating.  When this bone is misplaced, it pulls harder on some eyes muscles than others.  

The Crossinology® Brain Integration Technique addresses issues in the brain related to auditory processing by focusing on four main areas of the brain:

Anterior Temporal Lobes and Hippocampal Complexes - The primary function of these areas is to integrate information received from different areas of the brain, especially for memory. There are components to these areas on both the right and left sides of the brain. As an example, try to recall a memorable event from your past - you might remember certain things that different parts of your brain recorded such as what you saw, heard, smelled, and how you felt at that time. These areas are responsible for bringing all of these individual portions together to make one complete memory.

Wernicke's Area - This area is integral in coordinating sound, sight, and thought in order to create our train of thought and speech.  When we see a word or hear speech, WA translates this information into thoughts that our brain can process and comprehend.  Language development and usage can be impaired if this area is not working properly.  

Broca's Area - Information is transferred from the Wernicke's Area to the Broca's Area, which converts it into motor movements of muscles involved in creating speech. If you were to pay attention to what muscles were being used when you speak, you would notice that the BA does a very complex job of coordinating how they all work together, from your tongue your lungs.

Auditory Interpretative Point - This point plays a key role in being able to interpret what has been heard, or what the individual is saying.  

DLS occurs when your brain routes information incorrectly, placed into three categories:

right/left - In this type of DLS, information that is intended to go to the right hemisphere is initially directed to the left hemisphere, and vise-versa.  This processing issue typically presents itself as taking extra time and loss of information.  These individuals usually have difficulty keeping up in school.

front/back - Individuals who are front/back switched have a hard time letting go of the past.  They might hold grudges or just not be able to resolve past issues. 

top/bottom - Those of us who have this type of DLS have difficulty pulling out of an emotional response and executing a rational response.  

After all areas of deep level switching has been corrected, the BIT practitioner reactivates the corpus callosum so that the right and left hemispheres of the brain can communicate properly.  

Look at this adorable baby and notice how he is moving his right arm with his left leg. This is an example of cross-lateral movement. Crawling is vitally important to the development of our brains because it teaches our left and right  brain hemispheres to work in concert to complete a task.  Sometimes this skill is never learned, which keeps the right and left sides of the brain from communicating effectively. People who never mastered this can usually be identified by how they walk - their hands are usually in their pockets or stay at their sides. Less commonly, they move their arms and legs homolaterally, or the right arm and leg together. The Crossinology® Brain Integration Technique can correct this and improve communication between the two sides of the brain.
