That all changes, however, between the ages of 7 and
14. That’s when well-meaning but ignorant teachers and parents
direct them to abandon this natural learning ability in favor of the
analytical, senses-based, left-brained learning system that is our
educational system.
During that time, children start thinking with the
wrong side of their brain. Thinking should be done with the right
brain…the left brain is for action, as in taking the actions to make
thoughts into things. That way, they use their WHOLE BRAIN.
Not just one side….and the wrong side at that!
Optimum Age? Between 7 and 14. Why? Because
children are already in the zone and they have less programming to
overcome. It is also the time when they still have the amazing
abilities of imagination and visualization (right brain), and they are
embarking on the world of their senses and objective learning (left
brain). If they can be taught during this special time to keep
using BOTH sides of their brain, they can count on becoming successful
problem solvers and amazing humans.
Before children begin formal schooling, they absorb
everything, virtually, through osmosis. Their brain wave
oscillation is in the theta/alpha realm and they think primarily through
visualization and imagination involving the right brain. When they
start school, they go from subjective learning (inner life) to objective
thinking, which is linked primarily to the five senses and the skills of
observation and analysis, done primarily in the left brain. Eventually,
after the age of 14, they are fully entrenched in the beta left brain
dimension (14-21 cycles per second) and have abandoned their natural
learning gifts of imagination and visualization.
In an ideal world, we think with our right brain and
act with our left brain. In our world, we think and act with our
left brain.
Teaching LSL techniques to children takes much less
time and can be accomplished in two short evening classes, or one
day-long class. Why? Because children pick up LSL at a much
faster rate than adults, because they have less programming to undo).
After
age 14. teenagers are asked to join the adult class, as they have
usually abandoned their subjective learning techniques by then.
