Stoke & Transformation | Jill Bolte Taylor, Part 7 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.

Oprah is one of the few people who have been able to get rid of the junk. She is a great human being.

"You sense when people mean you well." Can't everybody? I guess not, if their right brains aren't developewd that well, like Fox news presenters.

Wait, let me make a correction...we do not lose this essence...we lose connection with this essence that is always within us..never leaves us....so many believe that God is seperate..this woman is experiencing being one with "God"...rational and logic do not experience this..only via feeling can we experience this...oh how I get this...I wish all could in a culture run predominately from the left side of the brain..logic...

This is what it is like to be a baby...it is only after we have been indoctrinated that we lose this essence and forget who we really are...

I drive a school bus with mentally handicapped patients. I love them. They love me back. They have never been a blip on my schedule. Thank God for that. This confirms a lot of things for me. Thanks for sharing Chris.
