Comments on: TED.com with Jill Bolte Taylor’s stroke of insight http://www.AwakeBlogger.com/2008/06/tedcom-with-jil-bolte-taylors-stroke-of-insight/ The Blog about Personal Development and Spirituality by Myrko Thum Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:13:34 +0000 hourly 1 By: finest man van http://www.AwakeBlogger.com/2008/06/tedcom-with-jil-bolte-taylors-stroke-of-insight/#comment-2428 finest man van Tue, 07 Jun 2011 16:05:16 +0000 http://www.CANEIblog.com/?p=16#comment-2428 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.

Maybe it is possible to get feedback regarding the rehab from her direction. This article was also focused in the obvious connection between her incident and the experience of awakening. I wish you and your wife all the best! Hi Jake, I’m sure there is also material out there for your questions. Maybe it is possible to get feedback regarding the rehab from her direction.

I was hoping that there would be a lot of insight there too. Also, disappointed that her physical and cognitive problems were coming back on track so quickly because her brain cells really did not die but were simply stunned as she says. This makes her different from a lot of survivors whose cells did die and those people need a way back too. But it is a very different condition then hers. My wife has Cerebral Vasculitis that cause her 12 separate blockages and subsequent physical and cognitive problems that will take the rest of her life to see what comes back. Can Miss Taylor share with us her rehab stories and what may be the things we need to do that we may not be doing and did her mother stay with her for the eight years. Did she have a 24/7 caregiver and so on. Thanks Jake and Jane Osborne Sorry that the book did not illuminate the 8 years of rehab or whatever she did in her recovery.

The right side of the brain seems to be the part for the present moment, while the left side of the brain is in past and future. She also said this, very interesting. Yes indeed a moving talk.
