Exercise to develop the right hemisphere of an adult. The importance of developing the functions of the right hemisphere of the brain in a child

  • 30.07.2023

Homeschooling is a general name for all forms of receiving school education outside of school: family education, self-education, additional education in school curriculum subjects.

The Russian Law “On Education...” places full responsibility for the organization and results of home education according to school programs on parents and obliges them to return the child to school if he does not pass the certification on time.

The Algorithm Home Education Center invites you to share this responsibility with us: organize and ensure successful home education and certification of your child in the school programs you have chosen with the help of our qualified teachers, modern educational resources and technologies, many years of experience and professional knowledge.

We will help solve all the problems of school education outside of school: from choosing the optimal form of education and external school from among our partner schools – to preparing for the Unified State Exam.

    My son Pavel graduated from school, passed the Unified State Exam, and all this thanks to a very well-organized learning process at the Algorithm school. I would especially like to express my gratitude to the teacher of Russian language and literature, Polina Leonidovna, who spent a whole year helping to comprehend the intricacies of these difficult subjects. Tatyana Evgenievna, whose concerns everything was clearly planned. I also want to say a lot of kind words to the math teacher! How wonderful it is that there is such a wonderful school! THANK YOU!

    How to combine school and creativity Last year at school I dreamed of switching to distance learning, since theater work and violin took up most of my time. And in a regular school I was not satisfied with the attitude of teachers towards students. Distance learning saved me, allowing me to free up time for what I love. In addition, no school in many years has been able to give me what I received in two years of study in the program compiled by the online school. Studying here fully met all my expectations. Thank you!

    Plenty of time for specialized studies! I finished grades 10-11 in one year – I really liked distance learning. I got into college with good results the first time! Online learning allowed me to prepare for specialized exams without spending extra time on secondary subjects. True, sometimes it’s difficult to force yourself to study, but then the result is better!

    Now I have time for everything After 9th grade I decided to switch to distance learning. After all, I play sports professionally: I train a lot, constantly attend training camps, and have absolutely no time to attend classes at a regular school. My parents and I began to actively look for a school: it turned out that many athletes initially study remotely. Being anywhere in the world, I can study on the Learning Portal and with teachers online, do all my homework remotely, and come to school to take all my work in person several times a year. The form of training, which does not require daily attendance, literally saved me.

    Studying is important for athletes for their future life I compete for the Russian Youth National Rhythmic Gymnastics Team and spend most of my time at sports training camps or competitions. In the spring of 2014, we became the winners of the Youth Olympic Games in group exercises! With such a schedule, it’s almost impossible to go to school, but I understand that studying is very important for my future life. Now I have the opportunity to study remotely with tutors in Russian and mathematics at a time convenient for me and successfully prepare for passing the mandatory state certification.

    The opportunity to play your favorite sport and gain the necessary knowledge I have been playing hockey professionally for many years. I have been a player in the Russian Youth Team for several years. This year, together with my team, we won bronze medals at the Youth World Championships! But I don’t want to connect my life only with sports, so studying is also very important for me. In the future I would like to do journalism. Distance learning for me is an opportunity to play my favorite sport at a high level and gain the necessary knowledge.

    For health In the 7th and 8th grades I was constantly sick, often missed school, this, of course, raised many questions at school, I don’t even want to talk about large gaps in knowledge. I decided to switch to distance learning in 9th grade - to improve my health, try to fill gaps in knowledge and, of course, prepare for the Unified State Exam. After switching to online learning, in all classes, both independent and with online teachers, I quickly received answers to complex questions without leaving home. I significantly improved my results and successfully passed the OGE :)

    Studying at Algorithm is easier and more interesting than in a regular school In distance learning, I have to do everything on my own, and I have already learned how to do this. But without self-discipline skills nothing will work out. Now I can calculate my own time. I think that regular school students have much more problems with self-discipline. But for me this is already a need. There is nothing superfluous in this form of training; knowledge is absorbed better. Mathematics and physics lessons are especially exciting for me - they are accompanied by excellent video materials.

My son Rama has been studying at Algorithm since primary school. And we have never regretted our choice. Distance learning frees up time for additional education - and this has become a determining factor for us.

In my opinion, the school has three main advantages: excellent organization of the educational process, professionalism of teachers, comfortable learning for children with a low stress component.

We are very pleased with both the educational system and the high level of professionalism of the teaching staff and school administration. The quality of teaching here, in my opinion, is one of the best in Moscow. Children like teachers; they skillfully motivate them to achieve good results in their studies. The most important quality of teachers, in addition to professional qualifications, I consider their obvious sincerity and friendliness in communicating with children.

Children's learning is monitored here on a daily basis; this is facilitated by a conveniently designed planner. Every six months, children take exams. We learn about children's successes from the markers in the planner, from the curator's reports, and from test scores. The curators know their students, their learning rhythm and are very attentive to all the problems and tasks of the children. We see our son's success and are very pleased with his studies at the Algorithm school.

We would like to especially note the Russian language teacher Elena Petrovna. Her professionalism and teaching skills had an extremely beneficial effect on our child. Elena Petrovna managed to motivate Rama’s desire to study Russian language and literature. Being professional teachers ourselves, we evaluate Elena Petrovna’s work as worthy of an example to follow. Every lesson she taught was carefully prepared. All the individual characteristics of the child were taken into account, homework was always selected taking into account the capabilities and specifics of thinking.

Before Elena Petrovna, Rama had an aversion to the subjects “Russian language” and “literature”. Now the child reads a lot and enjoys it, and he has developed an interest in writing essays. Rama strives to attend online classes taught by Elena Petrovna and enjoys communicating about the subjects she teaches. We express our sincere gratitude to Elena Petrovna for her love and care for our child.

The main advantage of distance learning in Algorithm compared to a traditional school is the ability to independently plan and manage time. Alternative education should be chosen by those parents who are ready to seriously invest in their children’s education and their future. At the same time, the children themselves must understand that this form of education will require a lot of independent work; they must set themselves a clear goal related to the choice of the profession they dream of acquiring.

Maria K., mother of a student

Dear teachers and school management! I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for the great work you do to ensure that children have access to modern, effective and interesting educational tools. Children are different, they all have their own characteristics, their own strengths, which the current education system does not always allow to reveal. And your method helps to focus on knowledge that is truly important for every child. Thank you from me and my son! If today I was old enough to go to your school, I would go without hesitation! For anyone who wants education to become not a boring and unpleasant obligation imposed, but an interesting and valuable activity for which one should instill a love for life, I recommend sending your child to your school.

I am sure that this is the only way to study today - saving time, energy and working at your own rhythm. Before joining Algorithm, we changed several schools, we even had experience in education abroad, but it was in your school that we found what we were looking for - a high level of teaching, a comfortable format and strong programs in the necessary disciplines. Children are interested in studying here, and your teachers are truly authoritative teachers for children.

We chose the Algorithm school 2 years ago, respectively, we completed 9th and 10th grades, this year we will graduate from 11th grade and take the Unified State Exam. My daughter plays sports professionally, and our priority is training, which is why the distance learning form attracted us. But knowing how difficult it is for a child to organize himself, I chose the part-time form of education.

In the ninth grade, 6 subjects were taught face-to-face, in the 10th grade - 4, those that we take for the Unified State Exam. For the last two years we chose the 10+ form, that is, in a year we completed the 10th and 11th grade program, and this year we will prepare only for those subjects that are needed for admission.

I really like that they are taught not only by school teachers who are Unified State Exam experts, which means they can prepare students well for the Unified State Exam, but also by university teachers who can prepare a child for additional university entrance tests. You can always choose convenient groups for classes or switch to a group with a teacher you like. To be honest, I was afraid that studying would be just a formality, but it is not so. There are also homework assignments, tests, and quizzes for each subject. Due to the small number of students in groups, everyone is under the close attention of the teacher. At the same time, classes are not every day; homework is given for a week. That is, it becomes possible to plan your time yourself.

The administration resolves all issues promptly, both remotely and in personal meetings. Always ready to help, offering different options for solving emerging issues. Total: the ability to plan your time, a clearly defined scope of tasks, a new level of independence and responsibility for the child, since the format is more reminiscent of a university, there are no nannies, but they will help if there is a desire.

“Algorithm” fully met our expectations, and we would like to continue learning from you next year. We express our gratitude to the administration for their excellent work. We are very pleased that we spent a whole year together with such wonderful teachers as Elena Petrovna, Tatyana Viktorovna, Sergei Pavlovich.

I want to express my gratitude to your team! We spent the school year in a calm environment and were able to achieve our goal. Communication with you has always been constructive. All emerging issues were resolved promptly. We were also pleased with the results of this training. We will recommend you to friends and acquaintances. Good luck, patience and further success in your activities!

I thank you and the entire RBS Algorithm team for the fruitful cooperation. You helped us a lot. Thanks to your technologies, Seryozha was able to catch up with the entire primary school curriculum and now it will be much easier for him to continue his studies in secondary school. I wish prosperity and success to your project!

Anastasia P., mother of a student

I am the mother of Polina, a 1st grade student. We like it here! We will continue to study with you next year (in 2nd grade) using the same form of education. Thanks to the approach, methods and teachers of your school, I am growing a healthy, inquisitive child who loves to learn.

Polina is assigned to a local school by registration, and what she learned in the first grade is taught in our school in the second. So we are following an accelerated program and will take exams three times: 1) when moving from elementary to middle school 2) then to high school 3) final exams.

Polina’s main success is this: Polina herself decided to learn English, chose the courses herself, passed the test herself and signed up for classes, leaving her phone number. They called me from the English school and said: “Are you Polina’s mother? She was tested with us and left your phone number." I didn't know anything about it. I liked the act, free and fearless (I know other opinions on this matter, but in her place I would have done the same).

What is family education

Family education is the education of a child according to general school programs, organized by parents. Upon completion of basic school or upon reaching 18 years of age, you can master the 10-11 grade program independently - in the form of self-education. In Moscow schools, since 2013, it is also possible to study part-time and part-time, reducing the number of full-time classes at school. Regardless of the form of education, all students have the right to free intermediate certification at school (externship), the right to use the school library and other general rights of schoolchildren.

Home learning at the Algorithm center

Depending on the choice of form of education and relationship with the school and the Algorithm programs you have chosen, you can study with us completely, online (in an online school), face-to-face - in one of our training centers located in the center of Moscow, or a combination of face-to-face classes at these training centers with online classes on our training portal. All classes are held individually or in groups of up to 12 people.

Our programs are online and offline.

We offer:

  • training according to school programs from 1st to 11th grade
  • preparation in all subjects for the Unified State Exam and Unified State Exam
  • additional and in-depth course training in individual subjects,
  • with final certification for GSCE and A-level programs at our examination center in Moscow (international external study)
  • parallel training in Russian and international British and American school programs (for example, preparation for the OGE and GSCE)

All programs are accompanied by a personal curator.

About certification

All “homeschoolers” undergo mandatory regular intermediate external certification at the Center’s partner schools - in all subjects included in the mandatory component of the curriculum. “Algorithm” provides constant consulting, organizational and legal support in all relations with the external school, on all issues of training and certification. We take British international GSCE and A-level exams in Moscow, at our international external exam center “Algorithm”, accredited by Pearson Edexcel International.

How to switch to family education

According to the Law “On Education...” you only need to “notify the local government body of a municipal district or urban district.” However, of course, serious preparation for this important step - organizing a “parent school” - requires careful planning and consultations in a family education center - for example, in our “Algorithm”.

Effective gymnastics for brain development will help heal the body and develop the left and right hemispheres.

  • Man is a rational being. He perceives the world around him differently than, for example, animals and has special thinking and logic. To understand how to develop your brain, you need to know its functions.
  • The brain can be called a computer, because its capabilities are limitless. Throughout the entire period of life, a person learns something new; a lot of information can be stored in his head. He remembers only what he needs, and what is never useful is “removed” forever
  • The brain consists of two hemispheres - right and left. Each side is assigned its own functional features - everything is analyzed in strict order, remembered or deleted

How to develop the left hemisphere of the brain?

The left side is responsible for logic. Language skills, solving logic circuits, mathematical operations, calculating integers and fractions, keeping track of time - all this is the work of the left half of the brain.

Therefore, to improve children's performance in school or to improve overall development, we must develop the left side of our “computer”.

So, how to develop the left hemisphere of the brain? The following must be done:

  • Work on developing logic - study mathematical algorithms, practice logical thinking
  • Solve complex geometric problems. Studying a science like mathematics is impossible without a well-developed left half of our brain
  • Solve puzzles and crosswords - the left hemisphere works better than the right when analyzing actions and composing words
  • A left-handed person needs to do everything with his right hand: write, draw, eat. It is necessary to use the right side of the body
  • Take to improve brain function

Important: Try not to focus on the development of one half of the brain. It is the work of both halves of our brain “computer” that is valuable. Develop the left and right hemispheres of your brain at the same time.

How to develop the right hemisphere of the brain?



Above, we figured out what the left half of the brain is responsible for; now we need to work on developing intuitive abilities and creative thinking.

The right side of the brain processes data that comes from the senses. It allows you to synthesize existing data in your head, so a person can solve puzzles and act according to his own plans, and not according to compiled templates.

By developing the right half, we cultivate a holistic view of the world and reality. How to develop the right hemisphere of the brain? Do the following:

  • Listen to music - it should be classical music, not rock or pop
  • Dream, meditate alone. It is better to do meditation on the seashore or in the forest, where you connect with nature
  • Draw, write poetry, compose music. Any creativity helps the development of the right half of the brain

Advice: Get creative, believe in your capabilities, and the result will not take long to arrive.



From birth, a baby's brain is wired to learn new things. Therefore, even such ordinary actions as feeding, walking and changing diapers are educational.

Advice: Don’t invent anything new in order to develop your baby’s brain. Don't get hung up on doing any special activities.

In order to properly develop a child’s brain, it is necessary to provide him with only proper care.

Important: Talk to your baby even when you are picking up mail from the mailbox or making tea. Such comments help to interest the child, which means he begins to think and develop.

Reading books together, playing games, mother's songs, dancing with the baby in your arms helps well in development. Even a regular massage and rocking before bedtime will develop the child’s brain.



Psychophysiologists work hard to create methods for harmonizing and developing the brain.

Each hemisphere is responsible for its own hand, so musicians and pianists will improve both hemispheres of the brain. After all, they play musical instruments with both hands, which helps to develop the two halves of the brain well.

Brain exercises for adults and preschool children that involve two hands are very effective:

EXERCISE: Grab the tip of your nose with your left hand and your left earlobe with your right. Then lower your arms and clap your hands. Change hands and repeat the exercise

EXERCISE:Sit at the table and place a piece of paper in front of you. Take a pencil in both hands and begin to draw symmetrical mirror drawings. Let them be simple at first, such as letters or numbers. If it is difficult to do this with both hands, you will have to first perform the exercise with each hand separately.

EXERCISE: Take a piece of paper with both hands and wave it, using not only your hands, but also your elbows and shoulders

EXERCISE: Place your left hand on your right shoulder, turn your head in this direction, focusing your gaze on some object. Slowly turn your head towards your left shoulder and look over it. Repeat the exercise, placing your right hand on your left shoulder

EXERCISE: Place your hands on the back of the chair - this is a support. Step one leg back. Move your body forward, bending your other leg. Transfer your body weight to it. Raise your heel slightly behind your standing leg. Now smoothly shift all your weight onto your back leg. Lower her heel and lift the toe of the other foot. Repeat 5 times, then change legs.

EXERCISE: Write words on paper in different colors. Repeat them as quickly as possible, and without hesitation



Chess, checkers, puzzles, Rubik's cube, puzzles and crosswords help in brain development.



Gymnastics for the brain - Olga Troitskaya

The exercise systems program was developed back in the 70s. Scientists of that time conducted research with their students, each of whom performed gymnastics every day. Since then, the system has spread throughout the world and brought excellent results.

Olga Troitskaya is a successful psychologist. She places great importance on brain development, because thanks to a clear mind a person can be happy and successful.

Important: Exercises increase the tone of the cerebral cortex, and massage of biologically active points allows you to make both halves of the brain work.

EXERCISE No. 1 “CROSS RABBLS”:

  • Crawl on the floor like a child. You can just march when you feel lethargic and don’t want to do anything. The feeling of cheerfulness will come instantly

Gymnastics for cerebral vessels - Nishi

Japanese healer Katsudzo Nishi created a system of exercises to improve the health of the body. This is done through training the capillaries.

Gymnastics for brain vessels Nishi:

  • The simplest exercise to improve the condition of capillaries and blood circulation is called "Vibration". In the morning, without getting out of bed, lift your legs and arms up and shake them for 2 minutes. This kind of massage of the capillaries also helps to redistribute lymphatic fluid, which allows you to cleanse the body of toxins
  • Exercise "Gold fish". Lying on a flat surface, place your hands under your neck, at the level of the fourth cervical vertebra. Pull your toes towards you. Tense yourself very hard and make vibrating movements with your whole body, like a fish.

Such exercises help reduce the tone of the nervous system and increase vascular tone. Active blood circulation begins throughout the body, blood vessels actively work and strengthen.

Here are more effective exercises for strengthening blood vessels and improving brain function:

  • Older people also need a lot of their body if they want to live their lives in health
  • Therefore, it is necessary to start doing brain exercises and exercises for the elderly today. Exercises from Olga Troitskaya, which are presented above, have a very good effect on brain function.
  • All the exercises that are suitable for older people are suitable for younger people and children. Just do them slowly and do as many reps as you can
  • Thanks to constant exercise, lethargy and laziness will disappear, and the vestibular apparatus will be activated. An elderly person will be able to achieve full brain function

Brain synchronization - 25 exercises



To start developing your brain, follow the tips below:

Advice: Get rid of physical inactivity - this is a problem for sedentary people. Move more - do not spend a lot of time at the computer and TV. If you don't move, the blood vessels become clogged with cholesterol plaques, which leads to problems with brain activity.

Advice: Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages. Alcohol kills neurons. But, if you choose between vodka, wine and beer, then beer has significantly less harm on our brain.

Advice: Drink 2 liters of water per day. People who are overweight should drink up to 4 liters of pure still water per day. It helps remove waste and toxins.

Advice: When doing any homework, do it cheerfully and with irony! The brain loves good emotions.



Having fun cleaning - both hemispheres of the brain work

Just as a person works on developing his muscles, he should also develop his brain. If the brain is not given daily work, it will become decrepit.

Important: If daily stress is present, then the number of gray cells increases, new capillaries appear and new synapses are formed between neurons.

By following these tips, you will help your brain: it will not “get bored” and will constantly develop:

  1. Walk around the house with your eyes closed - this helps develop coordination of movements.
  2. Determine the denomination of coins that are in your pocket by touch
  3. Master Braille - Reading and Writing for the Blind
  4. Write with your left hand if you are right-handed, and with your right if you are left-handed.
  5. Buy clothes that are unusual for you and wear them
  6. Change your hair color or get a short haircut if you previously had long hair
  7. Travel, get to know new cities and countries
  8. Change the interior of your home and office more often
  9. Come up with new phrases to answer questions: how are you, what's new?

Important: Why do this? Habits bore the brain, and it gets tired of routine. He is interested in everything new: emotions, words, actions and places.

BRAIN WORKOUT: Do the exercises with your eyes closed:

  • Breathe calmly and deeply 10 times
  • Slowly count out loud from 1 to 100, and vice versa, from 100 to 1
  • Imagine a pink circle in your head, then, using a spread, mentally transform it into a square, triangle, trapezoid and rhombus
  • Say the alphabet, making up a word for each letter, for example, “A is for watermelon.”
  • Mentally look at yourself from the outside. Take a closer look at all the details of clothing and accessories. Think about what you smile
  • Read any text backwards


Brain synchronization - warm-up

EXERCISE “EMERGENCY”: On a piece of paper, write the letters of the alphabet, and under them L, P or V. Letters from the upper lines are spoken out loud, and from the lower ones - done with your hands (L - the left hand rises up, P - the right hand rises up, V - both hands rise up). Doing all this at the same time is difficult, although it seems simple at first glance.

Now let's remember exercises from physical education lessons, which, as it turns out, help develop the brain and make it work synchronously:

PARALLEL EXERCISE:

  • Reach the elbow of your right hand to the knee of your right leg, and the elbow of your left hand to the knee of your left leg - repeat 12 times

CROSS EXERCISE:

  • Reach the elbow of your right hand to the knee of your left leg, and the elbow of your left hand to the knee of your right leg

It will take only 2 minutes to complete these exercises, and the effect will be felt immediately - your head will become “fresh” and “lightened.”

Specialists and experts in the field of brain development give very valuable advice to those people who are working on synchronizing their brain. If you do them at least once a week, progress will definitely appear.



Brain synchronization - watch on the other hand
  • Advice: Finger gymnastics helps develop the neural functioning of the brain. Open and close your fingers, complicating the task and doing the exercise through one finger
  • Advice: Rearrange items on your desktop. This will force the brain to look for new solutions. But don't do this too often so that your brain doesn't get used to it.
  • Advice: Say out loud twenty female or male names. Mentally imagine these people and how they smile at you. Wish them all a good day
  • Advice: Once a week, go to bed with your head towards the other end of the bed. This is unusual for the brain and it will not be able to fall asleep quickly, but you have to try.
  • Advice: Change the hand on which you wear the watch. At first you will experience inconvenience, but then you will no longer notice it. After 7 days, change your hand again
  • Advice: When cleaning the house, put things away nicely, but out of place. After this, the brain will have to work and remember where things and objects are after cleaning
  • Advice: Solve various logic problems. They can be found in collections, children's magazines or on the Internet.
  • Advice: Once a week, think about what you have achieved during the week. Make plans for the next week, highlighting the main events
  • Advice: Sometimes write letters to yourself about the mistakes you made during the week. Don’t feel sorry for yourself, write down even minor troubles so that you can become even better next week


COMPLEX EXERCISE TO INCREASE YOUR BRAIN:

  • Sit on a chair and cross your legs
  • With the foot that is on top, draw circles in the air clockwise
  • After this, draw a circle counterclockwise with the finger of your right hand - the leg continues to move clockwise

EXERCISE “COLOR”:

  • Take a blank sheet of paper and use paints, a felt-tip pen or pencil to color it completely with one color
  • List all the associations that you have with this color. For example, red - cherry, watermelon, flag and so on

EXERCISE “COUNTING”:

  • Count to 20 and back, but skipping a number that contains, for example, 3 or that is divisible by 3

EXERCISE “WORD”:

  • Pick up a newspaper and read the first word you come across
  • Make ten different sentences with this word, quickly and without thinking
  • Place both palms on your stomach - left hand on right
  • Exhale as if you were blowing out a candle.
  • You need to do this exercise for one minute.

EXERCISE “LIFTING WITHOUT HANDS”:

  • Sit on the floor and spread your legs wide
  • Now stand up sharply without using your hands
  • During this exercise, both hemispheres of the brain begin to work in concert. A sense of balance is important. WARNING: You may fall during this exercise.


EXERCISE “LETTER”:

  • Close your eyes and imagine any letter in your head
  • Name out loud up to twenty objects starting with this letter, for example: one is a tank, two is a tractor, three is a throne, four is oatmeal, and so on. The faster you say the words, the better

EXERCISE TO IMPROVE BLOOD CIRCULATION:

  • Extend one arm forward, straighten your thumb and draw an 8 in the air
  • Do 4 such repetitions. Change your hand
  • At the end, do gymnastics with both hands

EXERCISE TO IMPROVE BRAIN FUNCTION:

  • Raise both hands up
  • Draw a square in the air with one hand and a star with the other
  • As soon as the exercise starts to work out, change hands. To complicate it, come up with drawings of other shapes

Now let's learn how to do physical exercises to synchronize the brain. After performing such gymnastics, both hemispheres of the brain will learn to work simultaneously.

EXERCISE “ADVICE OF FINGERS AND TOES”:

  • Sit on a high table so your legs swing freely
  • Spread your fingers and touch your fingertips to each other, holding your hands in front of you
  • Perform swinging movements with your arms. Your fingertips should meet each other

Important: If you want to make this exercise more challenging, point your toes together. Swing your arms and bring your fingertips together and spread your legs. With your arms apart, bring your legs together.



Brain Synchronization - Crossing Arms and Legs

EXERCISE “CROSSING ARMS AND LEGS”:

  • First, swing your arms in front of your body at shoulder level. Palms should be facing the floor
  • After a while, start doing swings and crosses behind the body - at the level of the buttocks
  • Continue with the exercise, adding movement to your legs.

Video: 3 minutes lesson for life! Harmonization of the right and left hemispheres of the brain

Video: How to develop your brain?! How to become much smarter than those around you?!

Good day, dear reader! Today we will discuss a unique creation of nature - the human brain, more precisely its right hemisphere, and the exercises that you will find in this article will help develop and activate its functions. Now I’ll explain why I wanted to focus on this topic. Firstly, it is responsible for creative abilities, and its development will help reveal the potential inherent in us. Secondly, the education and upbringing system has long been aimed only at the left hemisphere, which has led to an imbalance in our thinking. Therefore, it is necessary to harmonize the work of the entire brain.

If you are an analyst and a pure logician (this means that you have a leading left hemisphere) and feel that you lack creativity and creativity, do not rush to get upset. There are methods and exercises that will help turn on the sleeping right hemisphere. I will describe these methods in detail at the end of the article, but for now let’s look at the role played by the right hemisphere.

Functions of the right hemisphere

  1. Intuition
  2. Imagination
  3. Orientation in space
  4. Processing nonverbal information
  5. Holistic Perception
  6. Understanding metaphors and humor
  7. Musicality
  8. Drawing
  9. Emotions
  10. Dreams

Thanks to the right hemisphere, we can holistically perceive people’s faces, emotions, and distinguish voice intonations. Metaphors and anecdotes are not perceived in a literal sense, but their hidden meaning becomes clear, associations and imagination are used. In addition, the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body.

Agree, these are important functions that are developed to a greater or lesser extent in all people. Now imagine what opportunities can open up if you make your brain work even more productively. Intuition will become sharper, empathy and sensitivity will develop, hidden abilities and talents will be revealed.

Who has developed right-sided thinking?

Typically, women's right hemisphere functions better than men's. This is one of the reasons why misunderstandings so often arise between the weaker and stronger sex. Thanks to this kind of thinking, women have predominant qualities such as intuition, imagination, and daydreaming, while men have predominant qualities such as logic and analyticalness.

Previously, it was believed that right-handers had more developed left-brain thinking, and left-handers had more developed right-brain thinking. Now neuropsychology experts are coming to the conclusion that this is not entirely true. The studies were carried out using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). When a right-handed person wrote, the activity of waves from the left hemisphere increased; when a left-handed person wrote, it was the opposite. This test only proved once again that each side of the brain is responsible for the opposite side of the body.

For many famous artists, sculptors, and composers, the right side of the brain is more active, but the left hemisphere also works no less than average. Therefore, it is necessary to improve your brain in order to achieve balance in its functioning.

How to activate the right hemisphere

In order to improve brain activity, training is necessary. For the left hemisphere, solving mathematical problems and solving crossword puzzles will help, and for the right hemisphere, doing creative work. Here it is logical to be indignant: “How can we be creative if our right hemisphere does not work?!” I will dispel your fears; you can start with small steps that are accessible to everyone.

Listen to music. Of course, we are not talking about any music here. Modern musical culture (pop, rock, hip-hop) can only litter the brain. It’s better to add several compositions of meditative music to your playlist, or, as modern psychologists advise, something from the classics (Tchaikovsky, Bach, Mozart, Wagner and others). Close your eyes and visualize the images and pictures that are associated with this melody.

Contemplate. The best choice for contemplation is a mandala. This is a schematic pattern that symbolizes the model of the universe. Choose a mandala image to suit your taste, relax and look at the center for a few minutes. After a while you may notice a kaleidoscope effect, don’t be alarmed, this is how it should be. Buddhist monks use mandala in spiritual practices. Over the course of several days, they lay it out from colored grains, and after meditation they erase the beautiful fruit of their long labor.

Draw. Even if you have no artistic ability, you can paint pictures not for exhibition or sale, but with the goal of activating the right hemisphere. For example, draw a mandala or any other design that does not require technical skills. It is best to use paints or crayons.

Meditate. There are a limitless variety of meditation techniques. It is not at all necessary to look for one that is aimed at developing right-sided thinking. Any meditation improves the activity of the entire brain. Read the article Meditation for Beginners at Home to learn more about meditation. The most important thing is to learn to observe and direct your thoughts in the necessary direction, at least for a short time. People who meditate have good intuition and imagination, natural talents are revealed, these are signs of right-sided thinking.

Development exercises

Arabic letter. As you probably know, Arabic is written and read from right to left. This style of writing develops right-brain thinking. I suggest you try this writing too. You don't have to learn Arabic to do this. Just write from right to left in your native language, but the main thing is that it doesn’t become a habit!

Mirror drawing. Prepare a sheet of paper and two pencils, one in your left hand, the other in your right. Start drawing identical, simple geometric shapes with both hands at the same time. This exercise helps balance the work of the two hemispheres.

Drawing in the air. This method is also aimed at harmonizing the work of the two sides of the brain, but it is a little more complicated than the previous one. Draw a triangle in the air with one hand and a circle with the other. When you start to succeed, you can change the figures.

Stroking and patting. Probably everyone tried this technique in childhood. With one hand, a circular movement is made on the stomach, and with the other, a light pat on the head, then you need to switch hands. It would seem, what is so complicated here? But for people with an imbalance in the functioning of the two hemispheres, this exercise is not easy.

These are, in fact, simple exercises that will help you unlock your hidden potential. If you liked the article, please share it with your friends by clicking one of the social network buttons. I will also be very glad to see your comments and additions.

Hello, dear friends!

The brain is the heart of our nervous system. This is a kind of computer capable of processing many incoming signals.

It is thanks to its precise work that we can perform actions that are closely related to the thought process, the correct assessment of what is happening and, of course, self-awareness.

The brain is divided into two hemispheres. Their symbiosis must be harmonious, coordinated and synchronous. Only in this way will a person be able to sanely and adequately carry out important activities of life. How to develop the left hemisphere of the brain?

The brain is a mysterious organ, and scientists are still trying to solve the puzzle of how the hemispheres work. Thus, the theory of interhemispheric asymmetry dominates the world. What does this mean in simple terms?

The theory is based on the statement that the left part of the gray matter is responsible for, and the right part for the flight of creativity and feeling. The truth is that, thanks to numerous experiments, the fate of two parts of the brain at the same time has been proven.

That is, both the left and right sides are responsible for both components of the thought process. It is worth noting that the theory has existed for a long time and at the same time is a leading one.

Logical thinking is the responsibility of the left hemisphere. This is how a person develops a tendency towards analysis and mathematical miscalculations.

The left hemisphere is responsible for the sequence of processing processes, our speech, writing, etc. It also helps to remember and, which is not unimportant, to perceive numbers and figures.

The aforementioned hemisphere of the brain controls the right side of the body. For example, if an individual is right-handed, then, accordingly, the development of the left hemisphere is more noticeable.

The development of logic, as a type of thinking, helps to more effectively find ways out of life situations. It develops mental flexibility and makes it possible to think through incoming information more consciously and clearly.

This is why people strive to develop the work of the left hemisphere to super speed. The brain is a muscle that definitely needs to be developed and pumped. Only in this way can a person take what is rightfully his.

What features have gone unnoticed?

The left hemisphere of the brain takes control of the following areas of the body:

  • musculoskeletal function of the right side of the body and, accordingly, coordination;
  • remembering mathematical symbols, birthdays and people's names;
  • comparison of logical facts and arguments that were analyzed from the outside;
  • literal perception. The left hemisphere has no place for feelings or emotions;
  • feeling of temporary space and self;
  • awareness of the concept of “I” and the ability to distinguish it among a crowd of individuals;
  • introvertism in the character of humanity is also a merit of the left side of the brain.

How do you know which hemisphere is better developed?

I suggest using the following determination methods that allow you to find out the dominant part of the brain in both a child and an adult:

  • interlace the fingers of both hands together. If you observe the left thumb from above, then the left side of the brain is dominant and vice versa;
  • start clapping your hands. Pay attention to the hand that is controlling when clapping. Often, it is located on top and obeys the instructions of the opposite hemisphere;
  • with a more developed left hemisphere and in the case of crossing the arms at the level of the solar plexus, the right hand is always on top.

Basic exercises for every day

Of course, as children develop and grow, parents should definitely note the activity and synchronicity of the two sides of the gray matter. In educational institutions, the child will be able to acquire consistency skills, as well as learn the basics of the imaginative and logical thought process. But how can you help if you still notice problems with your work?


Exercises to develop the left hemisphere

1. “Ear-nose”

You need to grab the edge of your nose with your left hand. Use your right hand to find the opposite ear and grab it as well. Next, quickly release your hands and clap your hands. The main task is to change hands so as not to get confused.

This exercise should be performed as often as possible to get maximum results.

2. “Mirror Letter”

For this study you will need a pair of pencils or pens with a blank sheet of paper. Now equip both hands with stationery for writing and start drawing mirror-symmetrical letters.

I’ll tell you right away that it won’t be a masterpiece. It will take time for the brain to understand the technique and adapt. But such “training” is very useful for the entire gray matter, and especially for the left hemisphere.

3. "Rings"

Relax the fingers of both hands and shake them. Then begin to move them so that the thumb, index, middle, ring and little fingers take on the shape of a ring when connected.

This procedure perfectly stimulates the functioning of the nerve endings in the finger bundles and makes the brain actively work.

Definitely, completing such tasks is useful. And at the same time, supporting them with other techniques, reading, analysis and your own habit of thinking, you will achieve.

4. And finally, a good video

The more developed a person’s personal “computer” is, the greater heights he can achieve. Are we not striving for success, friends?

Well, I'll finish my thought here.

Subscribe to blog updates and recommend reading it to your friends on social networks. In the comments, tell us about what exercises you practice and have you ever met an ambidexter - a person who can use both hands equally well?

See you on the blog, bye-bye!

It’s no secret to many that for a happy life you need to constantly train your body. Then you will have a lot of energy, you will feel better and get sick much less. However, many people forget that to improve their quality of life, they also need to train their brain. This is what your standard of living will depend on. That is why, in this article, I will analyze the most effective exercises for the development of both hemispheres of the brain.

After graduating from university, I got a job. Every day I did what I had been taught during my year of study. I knew exactly my daily routine. The problem was that I stopped studying and, as a result, lost my ambitions. I noticed that life simply pulled me into a routine, all the days were the same and I was unable to achieve any global goals. Then I thought about it and began to study the problem.

It was during that period of my life that I came across the 5 exercises that I will describe below. After a few months, I began to notice the first results. I became more creative and focused at the same time. As a result, I not only received a promotion, but also launched my own small business project, which paid off and is already bringing me money. And all that was needed for this was not to stop developing and to work on both hemispheres.

Basic principles of brain function

The human brain is one of the most mysterious and incomprehensible mechanisms created by nature. It is usually compared to electronic computers. Throughout his life, a person learns something new, accumulating useful information. And if some data loses its relevance, it is automatically forgotten. It will take a lot of time to consider all the functions that our brain is capable of performing, but I will list the most basic of them:

  • memory;
  • speech;
  • thinking;
  • self-perception;
  • consciousness;
  • general perception of the world;
  • imagination.

The brain is divided into two hemispheres, which are connected by the substantia callosum, through which information is transmitted from one part of the brain to the other. Each hemisphere is responsible for certain functions. However, in history there have been cases when, due to injuries, one hemisphere began to perform the tasks of the other. Despite this, initially each part of the brain has its own purpose.

The left hemisphere takes over the functions of logical thinking and calculation operations. It is capable of processing information from the outside in a strict sequence. The right hemisphere is more responsible for creativity and sensory perception. This is how we perceive smells, music, colors and are able to understand art. It is also this hemisphere that helps us navigate the world around us. In addition, it is the right hemisphere that allows us to think creatively and find unusual solutions.

Everything described above is the very basics of how the brain works. However, this information is already enough to at least roughly understand how the cerebral hemispheres work. The most important thing is that with the help of special exercises we can develop our brain, honing certain functions. The main task is to ensure that both of our hemispheres work synchronously and are as efficient as possible.


What will the development of both hemispheres of the brain give the reader?

Before we develop both hemispheres of the brain, let’s look a little more closely at what exactly this will give us. With targeted training, you will develop such important skills as:

  • the ability to concentrate on what is important;
  • navigation in gigantic flows of information;
  • quickly making the most correct decisions;
  • training in a short time;
  • instantly capturing the essence of things.

It is these listed skills that have helped world-famous businessmen achieve their high results. In order to learn this too, you need to regularly do special exercises to synchronize the work of the brain hemispheres. Such exercises can be compared to working out in the gym. Without regular exercise, our muscles become weaker. And if there is no load at all, then they will simply atrophy. The brain works exactly according to the same program.

If you lack mental activity, you will quickly become stupid, and vice versa, with regular training, many neural connections are formed in the brain, and the blood supply to the brain improves.

For the brain to function effectively, it is necessary to trigger the emergence of new neural connections with the help of new knowledge and impressions. During our standard learning process, this happens on its own. I mean the age when it is customary to study or pretend that you are studying. This is a kindergarten, school and university. The amount of new information entering our brain during this period was sufficient to maintain the brain in more or less working condition.

The problem is that most people stop learning anything after finishing their formal education in educational institutions. Their lives are dominated by routine processes for which they do not have to use their intellect. And without an appropriate load, our mind weakens, and after 25-30 years a person begins to gradually become stupid. This is why it is so important to perform special exercises regularly. Below I will describe the most effective of them.


5 exercises to develop both hemispheres of our brain

Below are 5 common exercises that are ideal for developing both hemispheres of your brain. By doing them, you will notice how you become smarter, begin to notice and understand more.

Exercise No. 1 Mirror drawing

To do this exercise, take a piece of paper and two pencils, one in each hand. Start drawing with both hands at the same time. Let it be something simple. Draw a square, circle, figure eight, star. Gradually the images need to become more complex. Write your name. If you succeed, then try to draw a full-fledged drawing.

Exercise No. 2 Random words

To do this exercise, take a few random words and string them together into a story. It will be difficult at first. You may need to make several long sentences to connect. If you practice, you can easily connect any words taken at random with just a few phrases.

Exercise No. 3 Words

Great exercise for a stiff brain. Helps improve concentration, increase attention and loads both hemispheres at once.

The task is to quickly, without hesitation, name the color. This may seem quite simple, but the left hemisphere begins to focus on words and the right hemisphere on colors. This is very confusing. It’s good if you do this exercise with a partner who will show you the words, and you need to name the color or read what is written. It is the partner who says what is needed at the moment: name the color or read the word.


Exercise No. 4 Restoring reality

This is a great visualization exercise. The main thing is to use your imagination as much as possible, including visual, auditory and olfactory memory. Get rid of any external irritants, turn off the TV, turn off the sound on your phone. Close your eyes. Try to remember a person you know well: his facial features, the color of his eyes and hair. Now try to reproduce the sound of his voice, the smell of perfume. Add new details to your look.

Once you learn to reproduce people using your imagination, you can move on. Now you can create a new universe in your imagination, parallel to the one that exists. Such exercises significantly develop creativity, imagination and creative thinking.

Exercise No. 5 Neurobics

This is a kind of exercise for our brain. It activates the work of all senses at once. This technique was first invented by a neuroscientist from the USA named L. Katz. Its main essence is that we need to do things that are familiar to us in a non-standard manner, for example:

  • walk around the apartment tightly blindfolded;
  • write with your left hand if you are right-handed and, vice versa, if you are left-handed;
  • change your usual route to work or school;
  • try to feel the taste of food, the smell of flowers;
  • identify things only using tactile sensations;
  • do new work that you have not done before;
  • try to find non-standard answers to familiar questions.

All new actions provoke the emergence of new neural connections. The main thing is not to miss the moment when new actions become something familiar. Continue to develop in the same spirit. In this matter, the main thing is not to stop and then you will definitely achieve results. On the site you will find many useful articles that will help you on this difficult path. Good luck.
