MeMoves is a sensorimotor multimedia program that transforms the mind and body. This patented system was designed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, providing the user with a quick and effective tool for self regulation. Each MeMoves sequence is a patented combination of music, movement and images, utilizing simple, geometric shapes. Organized into three categories: Joy, Calm, and Focus, users select one of 13 video sequences and follow along (imitate) the actions on the screen as they are able. It’s not about learning a new skill or doing each movement perfectly, but being engaged in the activity, which for some, might mean simply rocking back and forth. The program’s compelling multisensory design sets up the nervous system for calm chemistry and active, alert attention, resulting in emotional regulation and behavioral change.
