      Interesting! Her state of bliss, which she mentions over and over again, and becoming more solid again, after eight years as a liquid, are quite memorable.

      Perhaps Area 25 does not need to be stimulated but rather slowed down if this is what happened to Jill Bolte Taylor's brain.

      Perhaps we need brain studies of those who have been effected by stroke in Area 25. This may help even more with our understanding of depression.

      I hope Jill had some brain scans over the eight years of her recovery and charted her brain changes.

      So how do I turn off my nagging left brain and release bliss in my right brain without killing off part of my brain? She mentions prayer, and there are presentations on "God and Brain Science", but I think her bliss was at a much higher level.

      Thank you for posting this interview.

      After my mother had a stroke I realized how much your life can change in an instant. I've been spending a lot of time visiting her at the local rehab unit and it's been a real educational experience. Many there had no prior warning and had not been tracking their cardiac metrics (blood pressure, cholesterol , ...) and now flat on thier backs, some severely impacted. My doctor has been telling me to change my helath habits for a while. I never got it until now. Now I get it, it was a bloody awful lesson.
