No, not really. Each one is unaware of the other ones.

She doesn’t even get comfy twisting one way with me - she just keeps flipping back and forth too fast for me to tell which way she’s spinning before she’s changed it.

Either I also think like a politician =P, or the way I see motion is still messed up from that concussion...

Well, that’s just the psychologist in me I guess.

If she is turning counter-clockwise, her left leg is up and she is turning toward her left hand. This means and individual thinks with the left side of the brain, logic, math, science. All issues you face in life will be based upon only logic of the situation, no intuitiveness or emotion in your decisions.

To get her to turn right, you will want to think on things you find emotionally upsetting or exciting. Use a visional outcome of a problem

The best decisions in life balance both logic and intuition.

When you start to gain control over her direction, you are getting control of your emotions when making decision. I found that using both sides of the brain will give you a larger perspective on solutions.

I’ve wondered about people like myself, all my life. I can mirror write cursive, but it looks like a 7 yo’s handwriting. When I had eye surgery (radial keratotomy) the doctor could not determine my dominant eye. And, I cannot tell right from left without some mental tricks. I can’t always tell what hand I write with...

One of the most practical uses I’ve done with this, is to allow my children to understand that THEY are responsible for their view on life.

NO ONE can MAKE you think a certain way, it is what you bring into your mind and how you want to process it. If something is bad, you will see it that way and NO ONE can make you see it any other way. IT is you that decides how you think, and it is only you that will ultimately deal with the consequences.

NO ONE else can make you do anything, I can’t make you turn that ballerina, I can suggest the topic, I can feed your mind, but ultimately you are responsible.

Then you have more control over you thought processes. I’ve gotten to where I can concentrate on left brain and she turns left, and I can concentrate on right brain and she turns right.

She does not turn at all but just goes back and forth, right and left.

That is more of a whole brain thinker. A person that balances logic and emotion when making decisions. That is what I would consider the ultimate goal.

I'm glad others are getting the kick out of it I have. I've posted this for months in other blogs and no one seem interested.

I personally find it a mind bender and a great teaching tool for responsible thinking.

Perhaps that says something about the types of people who frequent the other blogs?

I want to know why the bike doesn’t fall over when there’s no stand visible.

Mistake: Should be: I can mirror write cursive with my left hand, but it looks like a 7 yo handwriting. I normally write with my right hand, but I have to turn the page quite a bit to the left to get a normal right slant. And this makes perfect sense to me, although probably not to anyone else. LOL!
