Re: Brain damage
Interesting , but don't the linings of the nyrons improve rather then the pathways themselves . I thought latest research was Dyspraxic people have an excess of pathways so the communication is spread over multiple pathways rather then in an ND person who has fewer ??

Re: Are dyspraxic's deluded?
Always good to question these things mind :D . In Hinduism reality as we know it is called Maya (or Illusion ) this is destroyed in some methods by the awaking of the third eye of Shiva which gives us the ability to perceive the Brahman force . But thats just one method/metaphor for helping you perc...

Re: Are dyspraxic's deluded?
Your question comes from an unprovable premise . What is truth ? Is there an ultimate reality for us to perceive ? Certainly a Dyspraxic from medical point of view could be said to lack some sensory input simply due to the condition affecting the area of the brain that receives sensory and processes...

Re: Pilates or Yoga

Pillates was invented by a cigar smoking German guy basically for other men and as a sort of modern twist (early 1900's i think ). Either way get to a qualified class in UK for Yoga its the Wheel of Yoga , there are al...
