A description of the experience
Craniosacral Therapy – Dr John Upledger
Consider the left side of your brain as being the rational, thinking and critical side; the right side, the creative, fantasizing, imaginative and intuitive side.
The educational process to which we have all been subjected, especially in the sciences, has supported the development of the left side of the brain. The right side of the brain has been neglected except in art, music and other creative activities.
Often, creative studies are regarded as being of less value than the sciences. As a result, the left side of the brain has grown to be hyper-critical, self-centred, omniscient, intimidating and almost autonomous.
On the other hand, the right brain hemisphere is quiet, retiring, shy, fearful and perhaps immature. This untapped right hemisphere may carry a wealth of intuitive insight, which has been largely untapped, because when an idea begins to emerge from the right side of the brain into the consciousness, the left side of the brain immediately begins to tell you why that idea is silly and irrational.
