Free Affirmations...are you using only half a brain? Apr 20, 2008
I never liked the idea of doing affirmations. It seemed to me silly to clutter my day with them. But I've done a 180 on this recently. Here's why.
Maybe you've done affirmations before and maybe they kinda worked. Well, here's a right brain approach to put affirmations back to work! You see, if you only use your "thought-based" left brain when you make an affirmation you're using only half a brain!
Bring on the "emotion-based" right brain and you'll supercharge your affirmations. You see, when you read or have a thought, you're in the left brain. Conversely, when you feel an emotion, or any body sensation actually, you're "in" the right brain.
But just to make it even easier to get started I've added something special. When you click the image box, look for your affirmation in the upper left corner. Then watch. As the image appears you'll be drawn into a positive feeling state--a right brain-based state.
It's the left brain shaking hands with the right brain! Cool eh!
BTW, the more you're into spirit, the more meaning your daily affirmation will have for you. Click to continue
Is spirituality in the right brain? Mar 28, 2008
I've undergone four years of fairly intensive body psychotherapy. Intuitively, I feel that it's brought me closer to my spirituality, but I can never articulate exactly how. This video comes as close to explaining what I feel as anything I've ever seen!
What would happen if you lost the ability to speak, to walk, or remember who you are, but could experience the extraordinary creative power of the right brain directly?
Watch this amazing and inspiring video (19 mins) as neuroscientist Jill Bolte Taylor describes what happened when a tumor completely shut down her left brain and forced her into eight harrowing years of recovery. Click to continue
"Can't think straight? Feeling flustered?" Mar 08, 2008
Did you know there's a reason for your foggy-headedness? It just doesn't hit us out of the blue. You were "activated"!
I use the term "activation" (a term from somatic therapy) to describe the level of energetic arousal of our nervous system. We've all been "activated" in our lives...you can't be human and not have this experience.
But for some folks the state of high activation is chronic. They are much more likely to suffer from poor concentration and memory recall.
As a rule, the more grounded we are the less likely we will be activated--that is, unless we get triggered. As an illustration, thought you might enjoy this little vignette... Click to continue

I think we should sit down and have a little chinwag about this.
