Stoke & Transformation | Jill Bolte Taylor, Part 4 of 12

Oprah's Soul Series. On December 10, 1996, at age 37, Jill awoke with intense pain behind her left eye—a blood vessel had exploded in the left hemisphere of her brain and she was having a stroke. The experience was life-changing. Not only did Jill face years of recovery after her stroke—and major brain surgery to remove a large blood clot in her brain—she also discovered a better quality of life through increased use of the right hemisphere of her brain. She's now an artist as well as a scientist, creating anatomically correct stained-glass replicas of brains that are sold as fine art. She's also published My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey . The book explains in scientific detail exactly what happened during Jill's stroke and how she recovered. It also takes a closer look at how the right hemisphere of the brain works and how Jill says people with normal brains can access it to find their own inner peace and improve their quality of life and the lives of others.

An Acting Journal from New York City. Both an online "how to" acting book and resource for how to survive and thrive as a beginning actor in the city of a thousand lights and a thousand stories. It is my hope and goal that this blog will be well-written, up-to-date, informative, useful, and eye-opening in terms of how to "Act" both on the boards and on the streets of New York City.

I wonder if Oprah or Dr. Taylor are aware of Robert Monroe and the Monroe Institute.

She knows her stuff!! I had an AVM hemorrhage twice on my crerbellum and a stroke. Flatlined 3 times, spent a month in the hospital. So yeah, I'm getting the book. These kind of instances are EYE OPENING. I want to read about her recovery. Sry, if there's any mispellings. :)

Again, rather than giving yourself a stroke, or reading books like Oprah(!) I'd suggest psilocybin cubensis (shrooms) or at least 50 micrograms of LSD (200 micrograms if you want to talk to god), Salvia Divonorum, DMT etc. None require an 8 year come-down.
