My stroke of insight | Jill Bolte Taylor
http://www.ted.com Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened — as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding — she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
Dear Jill, your humor, and your very lovely detailed story along with your bravery give all of us hope to live our life without fear and with joy.
It seems like the left brain experiences the more strokes than the right. My ex roommate had the same kind of stroke when she was in her teens. She showed me her brain scan and the location was exactly at the same as the presenters. She can’t see out of her right eye very well even though there is nothing wrong with it. The damaged part of her brain can’t process it. My theory is the left brain works harder in our society so requires more demand for blood flow. Brain scans seem to show it as well. We may find in the future that meditation is a necessity for mental health…give the left brain a rest.

驚くべき物語ではなく、驚くべきもう一つの世界認識の事実。
He says everything correctly, so it is. We are consciousness-energy, and we project our own world. In order to know ourselves as true, we must stop the internal dialogue of the left hemisphere, which is used to divide and evaluate.
okay but why am i crying?
This is seriously the most inspirational talk I’ve ever seen. I do NOT say that lightly!
Martha Beck brought me here and I’m so grateful 👐🏾
Classic lecture.
According to English psychiatrist Dr. R. D, . Laing, " Schizophrenia is a mystic experience.". He has written a book DIVIDED SELF.
Just take LSD in your times off and get back to work with your left brain so people don’t die.
it’s the first time that I like Ted Talk
I hate that intro.
Awesome

Harmony comes with meditation, not medication.
God bless this person
She definitely did DMT 😂❤️

I think I recently heard that the brains hemispheres aren’t very different they are just left brain controls left arm, left eye, left leg,etc.
This sounds like a mushroom trip.
Meditation does the same.
And thats why we must do hijama at least once in a year
When I was in elementary school, my Dad worked at a very small local hospital and got me about 1/4 of a human brain to take to school for “Show and Tell.” Obviously that would never happen now, but it was really cool, other than the fact that my teacher thought it was gross 😃
Ela disse que podemos escolher o lado, mas me sinto prisioneiro do esquerdo
Awesome Jill. I agree 100%!
Hundreds of brains reaction to witnessing the dead brain on the stage: "eeeuuugh"

I have assigned this TEdTalk through the years to a handful of high school students under my tutelage whom I felt could truly connect with what this woman is saying about both the human condition, who we are, and what we ultimately do in our lives, and one of those students graduated this year (2020) from Notre Dame, in neuroscience (and this student is unable, still, to legibly print her name on a piece of paper as one would expect, due to her being profoundly dyslexic) — Go Irish!
Does this HELP? Just a question.
A month ago this type of stroke occurred to my wife. This is the first moment I’ve been able to understand what happened to her. Thank you so much.
Incredible!❤
Absolutely fascinating and amazing. Well done and inspirational.
Moving talk! just discovered it, blessed to have watched it! what a powerful message… if you can hear it!
this sounds like she took some acid on accident.
16:08 finding peace. This is so powerful. We have the intrinsic ability to choose to use our right hemispheres for healing ourselves and spreading good to the world. Thank you.
this lady sounds like she took about 6 tabs of acid and forgot
Incredible. 👏👏👏
Wonderful
I remember my stroke and for the first week I was surrounded by so much love and so much EVERYTHING I was so grateful to be alive that every single person around me was so precious to me. It’s hard to explain but I was so very fortunate that night that every single one of my first responders was amazing every single one of my medical people was amazing to me. It took a stroke to make me realize how much love I had all around me and I send out prayers of thankfulness to them all.
Superb.
