Mental Balance

Switch on Your Brain

Kinesiology Techniques for Brain Integration

In the last edition we looked at Jill Bolte-Taylor’s experience of “stepping to the right of our left brains” in order to relinquish left-brain dominance and tap into the wellbeing, joy and inner peace to be experienced by right-brain thinking. You’ll also recall however, that practically every cognitive behaviour we exhibit involves the activity of both hemispheres. The left and the right hemispheres actually complement each other. Mental balance occurs when we use both sides of our brain simultaneously, for example, harnessing the benefits of the Right Brain’s creativity in generating ideas and the Left Brain’s logical analysis of their feasibility.
