When this subject came up about reading from left to right
and/or scanning scenery from left to right, I actually had
to stop and spend some time thinking about it.

I can feel when I concentrate energy within my brain.  The
left to right eye scanning is virtually automatic because we've
been trained to read in that manner.  So, when I made that
choice to look from right to left...well...that was such an
unusual way for me to scan that way, that I definitely felt
my left hemisphere concentrating its energy to allow me
to scan from a different direction.  I had to put an effort into
it and I could feel that effort inside my brain and in that
left hemisphere.

Of course there are also automatic brain functions which
I'm not aware of, such as breathing and pumping my heart
to circulate that blood.  I don't have to think about these
things.

However, if I tap my left fingers on the table, I can feel
my right hemisphere "energized."  When I tap my right
fingers I can feel the left hemisphere kick in.  Could I
tell you within is square inch of exactly where in my
brain I can feel it?  No...but I can tell you in more
generalized terms whether or not my left or right
hemisphere is engaged.

But now, try this following brain excercise:
Concentrate and visualize a red ball inside
your right hemisphere just above your ear.
Feel the energy concentrate in that area to
form that red ball.   Now roll that imagined
red ball from the right, along the top of your
brain and over to the left side just above
the left ear.  As you're doing it, feel the
concentrated energy as that red ball is
rolling over to the other side.  Your eyes
will follow its movement. The neural receptors
and the synapsis will feel that imagined ball
moving.

Now, move that ball from the left hemisphere to
the front of your brain...feel it sitting inside your
forehead.  Your brain energy will now feel
concentrated in that location.  Roll that ball
now over to the back of your head.  You
can now feel the brain energy concentrated
back there.  Let that ball now roll to the very
centre of your brain.  You'll be able to feel
it come to rest there.

If you concentrate the energy in your brain
by imagining an object and if you force your
thinking to move that object around within
your head, you will be able to feel the different
areas of your brain being energized.  In this
manner you're stimulating all sorts of areas
of the brain.

Try it out and let me know what you experience.

Thanks,
Heidi
