Since I frequently meditate myself I do recognise a certain control in being able to quieting the Left hemisphere brain chatter a little once in a while. Giving me the impression that sometimes I achieve a somewhat better quality of consiousness.

That perhaps is the most important lesson we can learn from the video. While I already know the importance of the right-hemisphere brain, it gives me new, deeper perspective about it.

At the moment I can't watch your video because I get some kind of <em>'Maintenance'</em> message not being able to see your video at the moment. It doesn't matter because I recognised what you discribed and I was almost 100% sure that I recently seen this exact same video somewhere on the web before. <em>I Just 'Googled' her name to know for sure, and it indeed is the same person I have seen before telling about her stroke. </em> I was impressed by the fun and compelling way that she described her experience. Also liked your question about the connection between areas of the brain and Meditation. Since I frequently meditate myself I do recognise a certain control in being able to quieting the Left hemisphere brain chatter a little once in a while. Giving me the impression that sometimes I achieve a somewhat better quality of consiousness. All the Best, To your Happy Inspiration, HP This is so weird…!

I know about spiritual experiences, but its connection with the brain is something I know almost nothing about. So I guess the key is making our left hemisphere brain silent and meditation is a way to do that. Mary,
