Sometimes we have to step back and relax with family.. Enjoying the Weather and each others company .. This weekend has been all about that.. So if I have not had time to connect with you, I hope you will forgive me.. But Life is such Fun when you allow yourself time to enjoy it..
A friend recommended a book entitles Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor, Ph.D., So I looked it up.. Instead of finding the Book, I came across her speaking on TED Talks..
None of us know what is around the next corner.. I hope you will take 20 mins time out of your busy lives to listen to what she has to say.. and then I hope you decide to live in your Right Hand Hemisphere of your Your Brain.. And understand we are All of us Energy Beings.. held within our Human Form..
And Enjoy Life.. Living and each other.. and will see you all Very Soon..

We cannot live in this world without boundaries. How brains work the way they do because they are supposed to work that way. Although there are times and places where i have felt the freedom and connection that she speaks about, it was only whilst in deep meditation or in a dream. It also reminds me of those moments when someone we know walks into a room even if we cannot see or hear them, we just feel them and know they are there.

Research being done in Australia are saying that meditation is not necessarily helpful to someone with FM because we cannot change our alpha brain waves to beta ones or the waves that we experience when we are deep sleep, the kind that nothing wakes you from. I still find meditation relaxing, which is not really it’s purpose either, but that’s good enough for me. xxx

Working with stroke and brain injury Maria must have left a lasting impression…
I know in the past I had the opportunity to give some Body Talk healing to a stroke victim, He felt it helped him as for a time after the healing his speak became more audible and understandable .. It must be so frustrating for those trapped within their minds while their bodies are not responding to their commands..
Yes I found her perspective as a scientist amazing, in that she freely stated we are Energy Beings… Something I have long believed… And we transcend in our transition to the next phase of life after life.. Which many view as Death.. But we merely move into the next dimension 🙂

Ted is a site I visit but this talk was new to me.
Thank you Sue I thought it extremely interesting, entertaining and insightful.
The way she explained the left and right side of the brain and all our sensory input was logical.
The left hemisphere, the I the ego, that separates us from the world around us.
When we let go of the self we are freed from the wanting ego.
She mentioned Nirvana and her theory is in tune with Buddha’s words.
‘Brain chatter’ she said, “the monkey mind’ we learn to control with meditation.
I liked her phrase ‘ moment of transition.’ that is in line with my thinking ‘we came our of this world and we return back into it’.
Everything being subject to change, death, ‘the moment of transition’ all is passing.
Enjoy your life Sue do not feel compelled to post.
Lao Tzu another wise one the father of Taoism that gave us Ying Yan stressing balance in all things.
Also advised to go with the flow, I interpret that as the flow of ‘Mother Nature’.
He spoke of the ‘Way’, like ‘The Force” in Star Wars.

And I agree, we all of us Transcend.. as we go from one state to another.. To me there is no death, Just a transition from one dimension to another.. As we leave behind our Human shell form which we housed to experience the world of matter..

Great post and POV,Sue ! Loved your introduction and your floral composites,hope you are enjoying life and you are still in the pink.It’s nice when we have some short breaks and get out of the daily routine in order to come back refreshed and with our batteries fully charged.
I have just finished watching the video link and I have to admit that it was compelling.You all basically know what happens in the two separate,but connected brain hemispheres which relay messages from one to another.However,Jill Bolte analytically and in a simple way at the same time,referred to the properties and the role of the two hemispheres.Very convincingly she pointed out how important for us is to exploite the possibilities of each one of them and especially the right one..I think I’m mostly living in my right hand hemisphere and right now it’s a joy to comment on your well-thought post.
