Strengthening the Right Brain in Left Brain Times

The "left hemisphere" isn't bad; it's just not an effective place from which to make important decisions.

May Peace Be Upon Us” - Paper and acrylic on 36 x 48" canvas - Courtney Snyder

We are living in a world that feels increasingly “left-brained.” Though both hemispheres are constantly working together, they have distinct values, traits, and ways of operating the world. In this podcast episode, I discuss:

  • The different attributes of the left and right hemisphere

  • How can we recognize which hemisphere is taking the lead in a given moment

  • The advantages of letting the right brain take the lead

  • How we strengthen our right hemisphere with the help of neuroplasticity (and specific (enjoyable) activities).

  • The added benefits of doing this in community.

Related to this topic, I look forward to sharing information soon on an upcoming discussion group called “Strengthening the Right Brain in Left Brain Times.”

In the meantime, as always, I welcome discussion right here. Please feel free to comment and to help me get the value of the right brain out into the world.
