PUTTING OUT THE FIRE OF FEAR
Extinguish the Burning Issues In Your Life

By Sharon Promislow

Attacks throughout the night rage on…. Wall Street plunged drastically today... Doctor’s appointment tomorrow… Anthrax detected in several locations... Suicide bomber strikes… Employment performance review next week...

In Putting Out the Fire of Fear specialized kinesiologist and stress expert Sharon Promislow helps us understand how tragic events affect us more than we may be aware of. Learn how to take control of your fear and stop the cycle of stress. Her book provides simple techniques that help explore whether you are echoing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder that are going unnoticed or ignored.

What are the burning issues in your life? What are the topics you can't even talk about without becoming explosive?

Stress can enter into our lives quite undetected, eventually and certainly affecting our health and our ability to perform to our full potential. The mere fact that we are aware of world events– geopolitical instability, war, poverty, environmental degradation – coupled with our own increasingly complex personal lives causes fear and tension and leads to repeating negative responses to situations or a "stuck circuit lock".

With great clarity Promislow offers no-nonsense methods that take advantage of our bodies’ natural bio-mechanisms, with a keen knowledge of how our brains and bodies are intimately connected. Discover how to identify stress symptoms and how to release them through specific brain/body balancers. Her methods are derived from specialized kinesiology – Promislow’s field of expertise – the science behind sports medicine and physiotherapy.

Sharon Promislow is a Specialized Kinesiologist and certified instructor of Stress Release, Educational Kinesiology (Brain Gym), Touch For Health, Three In One Concepts and Brain Based Learning. She designs and facilitates professional workshops around the world and is the author of Making The Brain/Body Connection and The Top Ten Stress Releasers.

A NEW PIECE IN THE ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER PUZZLE...
PHYSICAL TECHNIQUES HELP ADHD/ADD CHILDREN LEARN

Recent brain research has uncovered a similarity between the symptoms of severe stress and the symptoms of ADD and ADHD in children. Experts now believe that learning difficulties associated with ADD can be mitigated with simple physical techniques that clear stress circuits, thereby stimulating brain function and increasing dopamine levels. This new piece of the ADD/ADHD puzzle may be the one necessary to help get millions of children off Ritalin.

An expert in Specialized Kinesiology, author Sharon Promislow simplifies this cutting edge brain and learning research in her new book 'Making The Brain/Body Connection: A Playful Guide to Releasing Mental, Physical and Emotional Blocks to Success'. Using the secrets of modern neuroscience, Promislow lays out easy-to-do, fun exercises that dramatically reduce stress and change how the brain and body react to stress.

Attempting to learn while in an 'over-stressed' state causes ADD children to have problems with focus, concentration and memory. Cross-lateral body movement reactivates faulty neurological communication within the brain, and simple, specific exercises re-establish these important links, resulting in better comprehension and neural organization. These techniques have no negative side-effects and can be used at any time and in any environment.

A Specialized Kinesiologist and President of Enhanced Learning and Integration Inc., Promislow translates clinical results into everyday language. through humorous cartoon characters and a light-hearted approach in 'Making The Mind/Body Connection', she shows how certain physical movements can:

• Relieve ADD and ADHD
• Improve Learning and Focus
• Stimulate Brain/Body Communication, and
• Defuse the Stress Bomb!

After a very successful National tour of Canada in 1998, Promislow's book is now being released in the United States. Ms. Promislow has embarked on a National author tour of major cities throughout the US with extensive TV, Radio, and Print media coverage.
