I have already written that the ball is the optimal form of perception both visually and associatively. Including it in the juggling process, we affect all senses at once vision, touch and even hearing. It is this property that allows, according to doctors, to recommend juggling as the most effective means of therapy. That is why juggling is increasingly used to treat Alzheimers disease, the consequences of stroke, hyperactivity syndrome in children, autism, daunism, delayed mental development and even cerebral palsy.
Perhaps I will surprise you even more if I add that such therapy can seriously affect ailments that seem to be far from movement, such as dyslexia (reading problem) and dysgraphia (drawing and spelling problem). And these are not some kind of pills there that give a one-time and dubious effect! The results achieved by juggling are more fundamental and long-term. Patients are not just treated, they are armed with an amazing and powerful tool that no longer needs to be found in pharmacies and hospitals.
In other words once youve learned to swim, start a fire, write, paint or cycle, you retain that ability for the rest of your days, and the same is seen with juggling skills. Having learned this art, you will never part with it. This means that you will be able to keep with you all the advantages that juggling gives a person.
Chapter 5 Juggling and Not Getting Sick
To be honest: when I just started juggling, the maximum I expected was to master the combinations called ellipses and cascade. I didnt know about the medical benefits of balls then, believing that all this is a good physical education, a spectacular sight and nothing else. However, the very first acquaintance with the history of juggling, the study of the facts proving the serious impact of balls on our brain, our mood and our health, completely changed my attitude to the fun hobby. It turned out that the number of doctors who use juggling in their practice is extremely large and every year their ranks only multiply. The reason is quite obvious: this is not just a cheap and angry medicine, but a medicine cheap and cheerful. The very cherished recipe that requires minimal volitional tension, more than compensating for all the efforts spent with a solid dose of joyful emotions.
And when the troubles with the coronavirus began around, and the population was driven home, it became clear that here, too, juggling for many people could become a real salvation, because, depriving themselves of movement and elementary walks, even young people (not to mention the elderly) doom themselves to illness. No proper ventilation wait for pneumonia and infections. You will not serve time in four walls, and no locks will save you from the virus. Saves daily movement, saves cheerful mood and tone, directly related to the human immune potential. Thus, juggling into a state to help us in this situation as well. According to a number of doctors, even 30 minutes of juggling in effect are quite comparable to an hours walk, and any room can become a place for classes. No wonder the manipulation of balls is called portable gymnastics by many. Is there no mood to get outside, they scare slush, rains and frosts? Its all right! We open the window, pick up the balls and organize a small training session.
You can talk endlessly about the benefits of juggling. And today they say and write and not just ordinary people, but specialists in the field of neurology and neuropsychology, defectologists, childrens doctors and adult doctors. Medicine has not yet studied the full range of possible assistance from juggling classes, since it is extremely extensive. But it is enough for us to know that the healing effect of balls is indisputable.
In this book, I describe recipes for quickly mastering juggling. Columns, ellipses, cascade, fountains all this is within the power of any of you.
I note that the ideal option for teaching juggling is undoubtedly to teach the living directly from an experienced teacher and coach, but in the absence of such consultants, we have to be content with secondary materials videos from the Internet, mechanical animations, pictures and texts. Often people adopt everything at once, and this is quite reasonable. No one knows that it is we who will be closer and more accessible to understand. Someone will understand video tutorials, someone will learn useful things from the texts. By the way, it was the texts that I sorely lacked during my studies. There were videos, and you had to come up with the necessary explanations yourself. For this very reason, this written work turned out, although I understand perfectly well that no even the best texts with pictures can replace a living teacher. Therefore, the conclusion is simple: read, try, watch and try again! A coach and teacher will appear in your life wonderful! But even without his help, believe me, you are capable of very, very much.
Chapter 6 Juggling as a Remedy for Depression
For the rest of my life, I remember the phrase of one of the parents, said on the water base of the Caravel detachment. On the lake that day there were dark waves, the wind howled, and it was quite cool. I asked if parents are afraid that their children will catch a cold after todays regatta. The answer surprised me with calm: Everything will be fine! So they will go to school, a cough will begin there, and here they are heroes! Ordinary psychosomatics!
And this is absolutely true: psychosomatics, in fact, controls everything. Children running around in light attire many wearing shorts, T-shirts and regular slate barely risked catching a cold. Even, capsizing on yachts and finding themselves in the water (and the water temperature was below twenty degrees), they quickly came to their senses and, changing into dry, hurried to return to the decks of the yachts. And sad as it was, parents were right about school. Todays educational institutions often provide visual confirmation of a different kind: in warmth and dryness, seemingly fed and under supervision, children suddenly begin to catch the most trifle diseases sneeze, cough, temperature. Why is this happening? Yes, because the motivational environment is radically changing. The excitement of summer hikes is replaced by forced obedience to the rules of the school, and boring lessons in half with teachers popreks drive into apathy, or even real depression. The psychosomatics mentioned above continues to work already in a negative plan, the immune system fails, the first waves of diseases begin.
By the way, curious moment! earlier physicians didnt doubt that October waves of infections are connected with weather changes with approach of slush and the first cold weather. Today many of school psychologists are sure that they a flu epidemic and acute respiratory diseases are provoked first of all by psychological state of children. The first month at school they still slip by inertia on a summer optimistic wave, but further todays school with her negative estimates, with passive long immovability, with abundance of homeworks strikes a crushing blow. The depression becomes the constant companion of schoolboys, the immunity falls, children begin to be ill. By the way, at schools with other psychological approach other picture is observed absolutely.
Perhaps, someone from you will be surprised, but today more often identify a depression with a true pandemic. Psychiatrists of the whole world sound the alarm, appealing about developments of state programs on prevention of a depression. Physicians seriously assure that in some 1520 years every second inhabitant of the planet will already suffer from a depression! The reasons for that a set, but the main difference from centuries past (too not angelic) is that if earlier stresses had temporary (situational) character, then today they became horrible daily occurrence almost norm. In fact all information market is based on the panic attacks. Humour with music to some extent try to keep balance, however these directions, unfortunately, lose in quantitative ratio. It is simpler to frighten people, than to make laugh or plunge into deep thoughts. And therefore daily and hourly the real tsunami from dramas, black sensations and accidents fall upon us. News on television are supported with messages of the Internet and radio. It is necessary to add personal disorders, loneliness problems, professional problems, price increase, social shocks to it.
