Great reminder, thank you! 2:40 had me cracking up completely.
This is for people that are way out of balance and living long term like this. For example me, a grown child of a mother with borderline personality disorder. Many children never learned to balance, or learned to survive by 'un-balancing' .
You should read the Celestine prophecy
Two nights ago I had my second ever recognised episode of sleep paralysis(age 49.10).
The first episode scared me silly. My teenage kids still laugh at my screaming
[Heartless sods :) ].
This time I watched and said to myself "this is not real- no matter how frightening it feels".
This mindfulness practice really does work.
Maybe next time I will start lucid dreaming.
thanks

I feel as if I was just handed a super power!! wow
How did u do it
Thankyou for the video. Could you please post some of the studies that validate these ideas?
thankyou for this !
Wow, great visuals, eloquent commentator and overall food for thought. Thanks for the great video , man. Does anybody have a clue where I could find some more detailed info on this? I can't seem to find anything over the Internet that's not too superficial, and textbooks are too elaborate and require a lot of pre-existing knowledge. I need something in between.
Dr Iain McGilchrist
So interesting-
thank you 💜
Wow great I heard one video that they cancel the left brain but something Wass off better to integrate both
Thanks!
You might want to check out their other 132 other videos listed above or go to Sounds True website for similar material from Siegel and other enlightened beings.
This is fabulous!
Is that like an exchange, then? Wouldn't it make sense that the left hemisphere requires the right side to support left hemisphere function?
@listening4me im no expert but if im not wrong the huge web that connects the hemisphere is known as the corpus callosum bt that's all i can say. im still learning (: HTH!
You are correct, it's the corpus collusum and it's main function is not "connecting" the hemispheres, it's keeping them seperate, and only letting in a small fraction of the total action potentials that want to cross over the to the other hemisphere.
I LOVE the sit in the #HubOfAwareness, and observe the rest of the wheel analogy😎
As an american of african-ancestry (& athlete turned actor turned empathy-coach), I can see how I was wonderfully guided into this by awesome chance occurrence🙏
*and of course, being mentored by Coach Wooden at Ucla had something to do with it💜
Did anyone else move to left after this video?
So I was curious to learn more about leftbrain rightbrain synergy. I searched on youtube. This is the first video I found, after several binaural beats mixed and one CIA DECLASSIFIED KEPT HIDDEN. This guy’s solution? Mindfulness. Which is from Eastern religious traditions. Point 1 for Buddha 🙏🏻
Read the master and his emissary it’s the most in depth book on it
How not?
Equanimity, basically
2009. Ancient myths. Sadly, left/right "brain lateralization" is a myth that just won't die. Ask any practing neuroscientist. 😟
"just about everything that is said about the hemispheres in pop psychology is wrong because it rests on beliefs about what the hemispheres do, not about how they approach it", so writes the author of "The Master and His Emissary", the 2009 (research-based) landmark work about brain lateralization. I'd recommend checking it out.
That being said, Siegel doesn't seem at all to be drawing from that work's much more thorough and nuanced explanation of lateralization in this video, unfortunately.
I've been watching youtube with only one of my eyes open for some time, I wake up a couple of times and one of my eyes just refuses to open. I fall back asleep because I haven't got the impulse to fight it.
Though McGilchrist is a "psychiatrist", yet another pop book making up theories about lateralization of logic vs feeling... not based on any real research to support the theories. :( Like "My stroke of insight", made popular by Oprah, but no basis is real science.
Science: the emotional brain is the older limbic area, which is on BOTH sides of the brain. Looking at the 100k scans of Dr Amen, brain lateralization can be a sign of mental illness and the side doesn't matter. It's the vertical regions, not the lateral regions, BUT the myth won't die because of confirmation bias.
This guy unfortunately has no idea what he's talking about. The right hemisphere possesses greater logic & reasoning than the left hemisphere, and sees more of the world. It also is not as prone to uncontrollable emotion & anger like the left hemisphere is. Yes, it is more in touch with its feelings, but it is extremely mature about it and does not dwell on negative emotions such as regret. This is why brain-injury patients with right-hemisphere lesions suffer all kinds of mental illnesses while those suffering left-hemisphere lesions only suffer from difficulty in naming what something is.
Logic seems to be the left hemisphere explanation of the rights reasoning since logic requires a narrowed attention but yes idk why he’s saying the left is used to stop emotional process
As I understand it, the right hemisphere is unconscious in its activity, the left conscious. The left is logical, rational, linguistic. The right, contextual, large information processing, broad, deep and interpsersonal based on interpretation of small cues like facial expression. When damaged due to trauma, neglect etc, the functioning of the right is distorted. The right hemisphere does not think, it intuits...but this is impulsive, ie. arises quickly....the left hemisphere listens and interprets this and sends this back to the right hemisphere for up load and re integration to the wider bigger picture, or map. So, they work together in this manner. However their functions are also asymmetrical, but this co support each other by a balance of opposite pulls if you wish, they keep each other in homeostatic balance....one internal self awareness is centred...the locus of control. Other wise you have higher probablity for imbalance and pulling to one or other depending on bias. The right hemisphere is silent, Ian McGilchrist says dominant, here they say the left is dominant.
@@abcabc9893 Ian McGilchrist also says the left is dominant
@@LiMitZplus the whole premise of his thesis in his book is that the right is dominant, and the left the emissary....to the right...the master. So, how do you derive that?
@@abcabc9893 This is an is/ought distinction. He says the left (emissary) has become dominant and usurped it’s master. He attributed this to the advent of western civilization starting in Ancient Greece. He calls for the left to go back under the purview of the right.
