Thanks to the stroke, I have become free to explore the world again with childlike curiosity. in the absence of obvious and immediate danger, I feel safe in the world & walk the earth as though it is my backyard. In the consciousness of my right mind, we are laced together as the universal tapestry of human potential, & life is good & we are all beautiful- just the way we are.
My right mind character is adventurous, celebrative of abundance, & socially adept. It is sensitive to non-verbal communication, empathic, & accurately decodes emotion. It is open to the eternal flow whereby I exist at ONE with the universe. It is the seat of my divine mind, the wise knower, the observer. It is my intuition & higher consciousness. My right mind is ever present & gets lost in time.
One of the natural functions of my right mind is to bring me new insight i this moment so I can update old files that contain outdated information. E.g. throughout my childhood I would no eat squash. Thanks to my RH, I was willing to give squash a second chance & now I love it. many of us make judgements with our LH & then not willing to step to the right for a file up date. For many of us once we made a decision, then we are attached to that decision forever. I have found that often the last thing a really dominating LH wants is to share its limited cranial space with an open-minded right counterpart.
My right mind is open to new possibilities & thinks out of the box. It is not limited by the rules & regulations established by my left mind that created that box. Consequently my right mind is highly creative in its willingness to try something new. It appreciates the chaos is the first step in the creative process. It is kinesthetic, agile, & loves my body's ability to move fluidly into the world. It is tuned in to the subtle messages my cells communicate via gut feelings, & it learns through touch & experience................
My left brain is particularly gifted at identifying patterns. As a result, it is adept at processing large volumes of information quickly.To keep up with life's experience in the external world, my LM processes information remarkably fast- much faster than my RH. At times my LM may become manic, while my RM has the potential to become lazy.
The difference in speed of thought, information processing and out put as thought, word or deed, between our 2 hemispheres, is in part link to their unique abilities to process different types of sensroy information. Our LB perceives the longer wavelengths of light. As a result, the visual perception of our RM is somewhat blended or softened. This lack of edge perception enables it to focus on the bigger picture of how things relate to one another. Similarly our RM tunes in to the lower frequencies of sound that are readily generated by our body gurgles & other natural tones. Consequently, our RM is biologically designed to readily tune in to our physiology.......
One of the most prominent characteristics of our LB is its ability to weave stories. This story-teller portion of our LM's language center is specifically designed to make sense of the world outside of us, based upon minimal amounts of information. It functions by taking whatever details it has to work with, and then weaves them together in the form of a story. It's brilliant in it's ability to make up stuff, & fill in the blanks when there are gaps in its factual data. It's genius in it's ability to manufacture alternate scenarios. And if it's a subject you really feel passionate about, either good or bad, it's particularly effective at hooking into those circuits of emotions & exhausting all the " what if " possibilities.
As the LB enthusiastically manufactured stories that it promoted as truth, it had a tendency to be redundant- manifesting loops of thought patterns that reverberated through the mind over & over again. These loops of thought run rampant & we find ourselves habitually imaging devastating possibilities. Unfortunately as a society , we do not teach our children that they need to tend carefully the garden of their minds. Without structure, censorship, or discipline, our thoughts run rampant on automatic. Without management of what goes on inside our brains, we remain vulnerable to not only what other people think about us, but also to advertising and/or political manipulation.
