What is 3D Simulation Method, the Play of Life?
CELSIM has partnered with Active Learning to add this powerful tool to our portfolio and our coaching techniques.

The 3d simulation technology known as the Play of Life® is designed to rapidly affect positive transformational change in individuals, couples, families, groups and organisations. The methodology is practical, elegant, respectful and engaging; people relate to it readily.

Play of Life produces breakthroughs in any area where success and growth rely on individual insight and interpersonal dynamics by allowing people to present issues, concerns, feelings, dreams and goals three-dimensionally. People go beyond verbal descriptions and explanations to literally “see” relationships and situations clearly.
The technology combined with Strategic Relationship Management Model® techniques bypass the neo-cortex, where language is located, to directly connect with the limbic system; that part of the brain that deals with emotions and memory.
By linking the limbic system with the neo-cortex, people fast-track to the crux of the matter and experience those magic “aha” moments. From there they have a stronger platform from which to name unwanted behaviours and roles with objectivity, and then to visualise and simulate new behaviours without heat or pressure on themselves. This is the cornerstone of the Play of Life methodology. Very simply, the Play of Life makes communication easier and positive behavioural transformation faster.
Play of Life is applied extensively in the fields of leadership, Life-Corporate coaching, psychotherapy, counselling, family dispute resolution and self-analysis

- The Play of Life was created by Psychiatrist, MBA, Life Coach and Trainer,
It evolved out of his professional experience as a medical doctor, corporate trainer and his research into behavioural modification and neurophysiology. His work has been scientifically validated by the latest biological research on the brain and the mind. In 2003, Professor Marcel O. Ponton, from the UCLA School of Medicine described the method as one that will “revolutionise the way we influence behaviour”. Dr Raimundo received the prestigious New York Innovators Award from the American Association of Psychodrama and Group Psychotherapy for the Play of Life in 2004.
