What ROMBi can do for you!
If you think you can or if you think you can't, you're right! (Anonymous)
When there is something holding back our ability to function in the way that we would like to, this affects our expectations. It affects how we view our prospects not just for this moment but for our entire future. As we calculate today's difficulties and map them onto our expectations for our future, our mood can swing dramatically up or down, depending on whether we think we can ever or whether we think we cant ever!
When you want to be able to do it, do it better or do it with ease, you can ROMBi first!
- Perceptual Integration and uplift begins on completion of your first puzzle. Even part play, including handling of the blocks (not rubbing but feeling, touch) will have subtle positive structuring effects on perception.Structuring effects lead to steady enhancements in capability.
- Our beliefs affect how we perceive, so what you notice depends on how open you are to noticing and acknowledging welcome changes.
- We sometimes try to protect ourselves by expecting the worst; downplaying our capabilities so that we won't be disappointed. Perceptually, tis a disadvantage.
- We expect this to extend in valuable ways with continued ROMBi play.
Anxious about puzzles? Think you can't do it? Think again!
Where a user is anxious about doing a puzzle, this likely to be a strong indication of potential for significant gain from ROMBi play. eg, in cases of Dyspraxia, Cerebral Palsy, or similar conditions affecting time and spatial awareness. A user may need a little support to get started, a few sittings with a patient friend or family member, sometimes 1 or 2 is enough to get them started before going it alone.
How does it work?
Remember, your mind is your servant and not the other way around. ROMBi play builds increases capability through structured handplay, coordinating the actions of mind and body. . This gives your mind direct access to structural information, which it uses to organise its activities in the most effective way for what you want to do.
This mind begins . It does so by organising perception in a way that makes the most of current potential. This lays the foundations for greater future potential.
What do 'current potential' and 'future potential' mean?
Current potential means that with the knowledge, skills and experience that I have today, I can accomplish what I want to. If my mind is well-focused and I am able to organise my thoughts well, I respond to an exam or an interview in a way that I am happy with. If I am not able to focus or organise my thoughts, I am not able to fulfil my current potential. As I succeed today, I can move on to further learning, development, opening pathways to realisable future potential as well.

-Users with more profound issues with executive function (eg Autism, Stroke, Brain injury) will benefit from using the basic builder patterns to begin with, or even some free play initially.
Let us know how it goes!
With Ad hoc use:
-Effects include greater relaxation, reduced frustration, greater ability to focus, ability to put ideas into action, reduced avoidance of tasks (procrastination).
-These normally occur during and immediately after completion of the first puzzle; you may notice effects of increased clarity etc begin to wear off 2 to 3 days later. If you do, you can simply pick it up again at any time; you can keep it within reach, whether on your desk or somewhere else in sight so that you remember that you can.
With continued use:
-Extending Abilities: A puzzle a day does wonders for building your perceptual capacity, organising thoughts. ideas, finding equilibrium and inspiration in a constantly changing world. Continued play steadily brings you to venture beyond what you previously believed possible!
-Multiple Uses: Steady ROMBi play is relevant for those with stroke/brain injury, additional learning needs (SEND) as it is for HE study, the workplace or in personal life.
-Perception: The more immediate effects are perceptual, such as greater clarity, organisation, improved memory, attention. This is subtle but powerful. Our perception determines our experience. Shifts in perception have powerful effects of what we are able to accomplish.
-Synaptic Connections: Sustained structured stimulation of perception (as with any regular practice) prompts new synaptic connections to develop to support that function. This is an effect of what medical science refers to as neuroplasticity of the brain. This arises from our natural capacity for adaptation as a living being. We develop according to how we use our abilities. The more we use a function, the more developed it becomes.
-Easing Stress and Physical Conditions: Users are telling us that regular ROMBi play is having positive effects on physical conditions too, eg conditions affected by stress or poor posture, the latter receding where posture improves with better spatial and bodily awareness.
-Successful actions: Other things being equal, we expect ROMBi play to incrementally bring more successful actions, changing our expectations of what is possible in an ongoing way.
-More puzzles for the adventurous: Extending your horizons to new challenges may prompt you to increase the number of puzzles that you do each day to deepen and extend your capabilities further. One user tells us that he now does 3 puzzles in about 10 minutes with his morning coffee.

Depression: ROMBi play offers you:
Depression (read despair) is probably the most challenging condition of all. This is because of powerful beliefs in opposition to what we want. As an impulse towards what we want raises energy, inhibiting ideas raise equal and opposite energy (Newton) with an effect of deadlock. The more effort we make, the harder we work, the heavier and more difficult it feels.
Well, that is correct: More effort - working harder- is NOT the way to go. In matters of the mind and perception, it is not in applying greater force that we go forward, but with easing up, with relaxing into our task new pathways open up.
In matters of the mind, success is closer to learning how to drive a high performing car rather than pulling a laden cart. Relaxed focus, awareness and lightness of touch are primary.
Since, in depression, what we want is constrained by beliefs that it is impossible, early improvements may be discounted. It can take a little while - a few days of consistent play - for constraining beliefs to begin to dissipate so that we can discern the opening of new horizons.
Each puzzle play gives the mind unfettered access to basic information about the physical world and how ideas can be organised more effectively. With ROMBi play, the functions of mind and body become better synchronised, with each puzzle being a vitalising step for shaping your life in more enjoyable ways.
Our understanding of how ROMBi puzzle works is that doing a puzzle will support any other efforts that you make towards your life and well-being. With practice, you will become more adept and faster at completing puzzles. If you need some help initially, this is a worthwhile investment. You could ask your mentor or therapist to get you started. They can contact us for more information.
Doing the puzzles offers mood uplift. This may take longer to feel if depression is acute, but you will be moving. The puzzles allow your focus to lift away from what weighs you down, and begin to glimpse and then to extend to something else, a next step, and then another, and then another, and then another is how we build and acclimatise to enduring new perspectives. Whatever other form of therapy or treatment you participate in, ROMBi play allows the rewards to come more quickly than they otherwise would.
