Spatial Referencing for Cognitive Support  

Spatial Referencing is the skill of referencing the spatial relationship among sensory inputs to stay anchored in the present moment

  • Train the brains body mapping and sensory integration systems

  • Develop exteroceptive, proprioceptive and interoceptive skills

  • Strengthen spatial awareness and present moment orientation

  • Cultivate focused attention and multisensory awareness

  • Support neuroplasticity through repeated sensory based training

Somatosensory Cortex

  • The Somatosensory Cortex contains a neural mapping system with specific areas for specific body parts.

  • This mapping system facilitates our proprioception, a sixth sense which functions to locate our body in space/ time.

  • Similar to GPS satellites, the brain processes proprioception with other sensory signals to triangulate and approximate our present moment experience.

  • Exercising this function strengthens self awareness and induces relaxation.

Cognition Excercises

  • Exteroception - Perceive and integrate the external environment to your advantage vs. seeing it as a distraction.

  • Proprioception - Sharpen your bodies built in “GPS” system and tactile perception.

  • Interoception - Master observation of internal signals from the breath, mind and emotions.

  • Spatial Referencing - Expand dimensional awareness by referencing your exteroception with your proprioception. Advance your “GPS” system by referencing your whole body, or multiple coordinates at the same time.

  • Rotation of Awareness - Thoughtfully designed body scanning to sharpen the brains mapping system and induce deep relaxation.

  • Visualization - experienced guidance to facilitate reflection, memory and peace.

  • Silence - As the brain waves deepen silence is honored for the mind/body complex to re-lax, re-flect and re-member.
