Brain Scientist Has Ringside Seat To Her Own – Beautiful – Stroke

Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for.  One morning, a blood vessel in her brain exploded. Taylor had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions — motion, speech, self-awareness — shut down one by one.   As a brain scientist, she realized she had a ringside seat to her own stroke.   She recounts her experience of living in the right hemisphere of her brain while her analytical left side shut down.  Taylor spent eight years recovering her ability to think, walk and talk.  Although the stroke damaged the left side of her brain, her recovery unleashed a torrent of creative energy and intuitive awareness from her right.  “How many brain scientists have been able to study the brain from the inside out? I’ve gotten as much out of this experience of losing my left mind as I have in my entire academic career.”

The video gives an excellent explanation of the functions of the brain hemispheres.  Taylor suggests we all “Step to the right of your left hemisphere.  We are the life force power of the universe, with manual dexterity.  Which (hemisphere) do you choose?  And when?  The more time we spend choosing to run the deep inner peace circuitry of our right hemispheres, the more peace we project into the world, and the more peace there will be in the world.”

Oh yeah.
