More quotes by Jill Bolte Taylor
When we are being compassionate, we consider another's circumstance with love rather than judgement... To be compassionate is to move into the right here, right now with an open heart consciousness and a willingness to be supportive.
Jill Bolte Taylor
My stroke of insight would be: peace is only a thought away, and all we have to do to access it is silence the voice of our dominating left mind.

I believe that the more time we spend choosing to run the deep inner circuitries of our right hemispheres, the more peace we will project into the world and the more peaceful our planet will be.
Jill Bolte Taylor
Our right hemisphere, it thinks in pictures and it learns kinesthetically through the movement of our bodies. Information ... explodes into this enormous collage of what this present moment looks like, smells like and tastes like, what it feels like and what it sounds like.
Jill Bolte Taylor
Then it crosses my mind, But I’m a very busy woman! I don’t have time for a stroke!

We actually do generate some new cells, some new neurons. So in the case of trauma there is the potential for there to be some new neural development which gives the person the chance to create new circuitry.
Jill Bolte Taylor
Most of the circuits in our brains run on automatic. The more you think a thought, the more energy goes into that circuit. Eventually it gets enough energy to run the thought automatically without us needing to put more energy into it.
Jill Bolte Taylor
I am the life-force power of the universe. I am the life-force power of the 50 trillion beautiful molecular geniuses that make up my form, at one with all that is.
Jill Bolte Taylor
I can choose to come into the world as my right brain personality, which is more compassionate, more open, more loving, and more right here, right now available.
Jill Bolte Taylor
To experience peace does not mean that your life is always blissful. It means that you are capable of tapping into a blissful state of mind amidst the normal chaos of a hectic life.
Jill Bolte Taylor
I really need people to take responsibility for the kind of energy they bring to me.
Jill Bolte Taylor
The better we understand the choices we have been making, either consciously or unconsciously, the more say we will have in the world we create. Neurocircuitry may be neurocircuitry, but we don't have to run on automatic.
Jill Bolte Taylor
Emotion only lasts in our bodies for about 90 seconds. After that, the physical reaction dissipates, UNLESS our cognitive brain kicks in and starts connecting our anger with past events.

Take responsibility for the energy you bring.
