She describes so eloquently, calmly and analytically yet passionately, as the brain scientist she is, "how to lose your emotional baggage and rediscover yourself" as she did in 1996 after a stroke in her left brain. Be inspired. Not that I'm encouraging anyone to have a stroke!
It took her eight years to come back to herself as you see her in the 2008 video below. She had to learn how to speak again (literally relearning her ABCs), how to walk, how to do all the mundane things which we take for granted.
I do not believe it is coincidental that a brain scientist has a stroke and is able to give a blow-by-blow account as it happened; do you?
Her description of living in her right brain (creative hemisphere) will blow your mind if you haven't heard about her or seen the video before. And if you have, take another look and listen and feel it this time. The message is clear.
In fact, what Jill Bolte Taylor describes as her connection with "all that is" is similar to what some people experience on occasion through meditation and spiritual cleansing. After such experiences you are never the same again.
My purpose in posting this is to remind you all that there is always hope even in the darkest of times. It is in those moments that you must persevere; never give up!
must be read and kept on your coffee table or by your bedside. Everything about her experience and the aftermath is described in breathtaking detail in this small book.So when you start feeling helpless and discouraged pick up her Stroke of Insight and open it on any page, and be inspired to try again. That's my urging to you and I today.
