This new episode continues the story of Jill Bolte Taylor's left hemisphere stroke and her life, as experienced through her Right Hemisphere. We focus on her recovery process and  restoration of the use of both hemispheres of her brain. Although Jill Bolte Taylor found life in the silent world of her Right Hemisphere to be seductively blissful, as though she was “enfolded by a blanket of tranquil euphoria,” she recognized that she needed, and wanted, to return to her “normal” life. To do so she needed to will herself out of her state of near paralysis and restore use of her left hemisphere function. Her path of recovery began with a little rock forward. Then another. She rocked & rocked & rocked some more. 

We are exploring the hemisphere hypothesis, which states that the two hemispheres of our brain present us with very different perspectives on what's going on. In this episode we are going to explore what it is like to experience the world exclusively through Right Hemisphere modes of perception.What happens when people, because of disease or injury, lose use of the left hemisphere and are forced to rely exclusively on the right hemisphere. This is what happened to Jill Bolte Taylor whose story is the focus of this episode. As she describes in her wonderful book MY STROKE OF INSIGHT, she had a massive stroke in her left hemisphere and lived for eight years in what she called the "silent mind" of her right hemisphere.  What was that like? Her story gives us unique insight into the unique ecosystem of the right hemisphere.  

Could consciousness be the source of all life? Do things exist because something with consciousness willed them to?In this first installment of Conversations on Consciousness, Sarah and Eliza discuss their understanding of consciousness compared to more common-knowledge definitions-- they may even try to make a few up as they go, you'll have to listen and see! Some big questions come up per yoozh, like, "What is life? What is awareness? Does consciousness only happen when we're awake?". Of course, in true tangential 8th House Healers fashion we touch upon topics like haunted possessions, animism, thoughts as matter, and yes, even more.

This is Part 2 of my talk with Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. I warn you that tears are shed in this episode and it's as heartfelt as you'd expect from an amazing woman like Jill.Jill is a Harvard-trained and published neuroscientist. In 1996 she experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain causing her to lose the ability to walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. Her memoir, My Stroke of Insight, documenting her experience with stroke and eight-year recovery, spent 63 weeks on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list and is still routinely the #1 book about strokes on Amazon.Dr. Jill is a dynamic teacher about the beauty of our human brain and its ability to recover from trauma. In 2008 she gave the first TED talk that ever went viral on the Internet, which now has well over 26 million views.

Instead, our emotional tissue is evenly divided between our two hemispheres, as is our thinking tissue.In Part 2, listen as we discuss:Character 4: Right thinking tissue that embodies the thinking consciousness of the universe, knows no boundaries, and exists only to love, be grateful, and experience blissful euphoria. Purely in awe and blissful euphoria.Is love a thought or an emotion?Our first job as human beings is to love one another. Period.The left brain should not be the boss.The B.R.A.I.N. HuddleHow Jill gave her TED talk because she wanted us to love and revere each other, not her.Character 4 is who we are. The others are so noisy.Her new book, Whole Brain Living, is her roadmap to accomplish her life's work - the reason why she recovered from her stroke.Psychedelics can induce similar states that bring us to Character 4.Character 2 is the one that needs to go into rehab in order to break addictions.Is there a masculine and feminine divide, or is just a cultural construct?Life knows that the present moment is fabulous.Instagram: @mo_gawdatFacebook: @mo.gawdat.officialTwitter: @mgawdatLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatWebsite: mogawdat.com/podcastConnect with Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor and her book, Whole Brain Living, here. Don't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Sunday and Thursday.

Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD, is a Harvard trained and published neuroanatomist. In 1996, she suffered a stroke and as a result, she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. It took eight years for her to completely recover all function. In 2008, Dr. Taylor gave the first TED talk that ever went viral: My Stroke of Insight. Her memoir My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist’s Personal Journey spent 63 weeks on the NY Times bestseller list and is translated in over 30 languages.In this episode, Anat Baniel and Jill Bolte Taylor discuss: how to live in a place of possibilities, where Jill and Anat both live;the importance of creating a safe foundation for yourself (and your family);how NeuroMovement® and the 9 Essentials wake up the brain and drive continued growth to higher levels of functioning; how Jill’s recovery process was the same as Anat Baniel’s groundbreaking work with adults and children with special needs with a variety of conditions;the brain is a learning machine, and it wants to learn and learn and learn;related questions from the audience.

It took Jill Bolte Taylor eight years to fully recover from her stroke. That was before she met Anat Baniel and discovered NeuroMovement® and the 9 Essentials. Jill states: “Anat applies the exact same principles when helping people overcome limitation that I used to recover my brain and body from stroke. She understands that for any meaningful change to happen in the way we think, move, and use our body, the change has to happen in the brain.”In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Jill Bolte Taylor discuss: Jill’s experience of having a stroke and what it was like to learn skills she had lostthe importance of connection in recovery and learning (from “fixing” to connecting)the need for sleep and safety in the healing and learning processhow stroke recovery is similar to working with children with special needswhy Jill supports NeuroMovement and how it can help a variety of conditions

In this episode, we explore the brain. Are the two halves of the brain really that different? What is the idea of whole brain thinking? How do you get your brain to do what you want it to do? Can we become more “right brained” or “left brained” if we want to? And we also dig into the personal story of our guest - a neuroanatomist who suffered from a devastating stroke - and how the experience transformed her worldview - with our guest Dr. Jill Taylor.  Dr. Jill Taylor is a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist. She is the bestselling author of her memoir My Stroke Of Insight which recounts her experience and recovery after a severe stroke, which left her unable to walk, read, write, or recall any of her life. Here iconic TED talk has been viewed over 22 million times and her work has been featured all over the globe from Oprah to the New York Times and more. Are the two halves of the brain really completely disconnected?The right hemisphere and the left hemisphere process the world completely differently Whole brain thinking - how to think about yourself and the world in a holistic way by integrating both hemispheres into your thinking process The different hemispheres have different value structures and ways of perceiving the world Every ability we have is a result of brain cells that perform that function - if those cells go away, we lose that functionThe more you practice/use a group of cells in the brain, the more automatically those cellular networks run - that’s true for an athlete training, and it's also true for how we think and act in the world Whatever cells we exercise become dominant, and those begin to shape our thinking and actionIs it true that people can be more left brained or right brained?How you can engage processing in the hemisphere that you are less dominant inHow do you get your brain to do you want it to do? Self-awareness is a KEY component and the first step  Get an understanding of how much time you’re spending with each brain hemisphere being dominant Do your brain hemisphere’s get along? Each of your own cognitive minds (left and right hemisphere) have their own emotional limbic systemsWhat should someone do if they don’t feel like they have the power or don’t understand how to CHOOSE which hemisphere to engage?Look at your own patterning and begin understanding how you react to given situationsHow do shape your reactions to negative emotional experiencesThe importance of observing your emotions instead of engaging in them - the simple fact that you’re alive and capable of having an experience of the negative experience is a powerful thing Why is not the question its the WOWWe all get caught up in the oh my gosh, I'm so important - when really we are just stardustThe incredible story of how Dr. Taylor’s own stroke was a profound experienceThe experience of being one with everything that came from Dr. Taylor’s strokeMindfulness research shows that certain thought patterns can transform and change our brain circuitry Is the idea that we are separate from everything else a controlled illusion maintained by the brain?The profound lessons that come from having your entire left hemisphere shut downWhat is neuroplasticity? Is it possible to change our brain?Neuroplasticity is a fundamental property of the neurological systemHomework “pay attention to what’s inside of your head" Learn more about your ad choices.
