How it feels to have a stroke

In her amazing TED talk from 2008, Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist who trained at Harvard University, tells the powerful and emotional story of her stroke and what it felt like. As it happened — as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding — she studied and remembered every moment.

As this scientist talks about the energy all around us, one of the fundamental principles behind the practice of Jin Shin Jyutsu and other energy healing modalities, I hope some of the skeptics might start to consider it as reality.  In the words of Bolte Taylor: “I am an energy being, connected to the energy all around me through the consciousness of my right [brain] hemisphere. We are energy beings, connected to one another through the consciousness of our right hemispheres as one human family.”
