Sacred Geometry and Brain Physiology

In an article by Tom Kenyan, M.A., he discussed brain physiology and learning problems. He stated that walking in a figure eight pattern while looking at a point on the wall and “crossing mid line” by touching the rising right knee with the left hand and then the rising left knee with the right hand will offer remarkable improvement in the ability to learn. Apparently crossing over the midline of the body stimulates a thick band of neural fibers in the middle of the brain that is implicated in many learning problems.

Years ago I learned of a technique that involved walking in figure eight patterns in the morning at dawn and later at dusk with hands held outstretched, palms up, to heighten spiritual receptivity. Reading this account now of brain physiology reminded me of that exercise which was quite wonderful. I had many beautiful morning and evening figure eight walking meditations outside, and encouraged many of my clients to try the process, which they did, with very good results. It is interesting to note that the first exercise reconnects us to our own ability to learn, and the other connects us to a greater resource for unfolding our true essence.
