The right hemisphere of our brains is responsible for the here and now. The presence of being in this moment. It’s not concerned with solving problems, numbers or what’s next on our schedule. Nor does it have our identities locked into it’s vault. Who am I? What’s my job title? Where do I live? What is my name? etc.
Although this could be a bit frightening for us – the feeling if you’ve ever woken up in a hotel room and for a brief moment forgetting where you are – it may have it’s benefits. It’s the same place we long to access when meditating. It’s more relaxing in there. It’s where we find our homeostasis.
I think we all know how to “do,” to worry, to “grind,” and kick up a whole lot of dust in the left hemisphere. Maybe we can try finding more balance throughout the day by occupying the right and utilizing the whole brain. But, more importantly find a more relaxed state of being.
