Jill Bolte Taylor: My stroke of insight and Insight Meditation...

This is an amazing and inspiring video of a woman's journey through a stroke and back to life.

It clearly articulates the power of the human mind and the left brain and the right brain.

I have learned a technique that's 2500 years old, passed down from the Buddha, generation after generation that has given me glimpses of my right brain hemisphere. The process of deep meditation, daily, weekly, monthly helps further that experience.

There are so many things about dhamma that I am grateful for and even more things that impress me. One that I want to point out, is the integrity of the experience. It's free. Free room, free board, free food, free course materials, free expert coaching. It's entirely funded by past students. They won't even except donations from anyone who has not completed a course.

The course itself is 10/11 days. There is a strict code of conduct that includes many things like:
No reading
No writing
No eye contact
No speaking
No sex or sexual like activities
No lying
No cheating

After the simple completion of a 10 day course, every person that I know has a new perspective of the possibilities for them.
