Even though the video is a bit anxiety provoking - And I should have warned everyone, sorry Anna (you are not alone, it was a bit wonky for me as well) - I thought it important to share, for we (people with panic and phobias) are so left brained.

The "what if" voice is left. The shoulds, the "surely this is dangerous" all and any irrational thoughts- all left.

But we ALL have right side brains that are just as strong and present, but under utilized. We ALL have inner peace. THAT, of course, is what brings it home. The chatter voice is not us.

And to tie in with those reading Eckhart Tolle - Left side is EGO, right side is BEING. So now, there is scientific proof of what we are trying to obtain by staying in the NOW, staying with consciousness, leaving the chatter behind.

The EGO's (the left side of our brain) self importance FEEDS on the chatter. The BEING (right peaceful side) lays dormant. At least, this is my humble attempt at an explanation.

And as my QT Navajo friend has said. "There are two wolves inside us, good and evil, only one can survive, so it all depends on which you feed." I think that pertains to this scenario as well.

Pretty cool stuff. I am grateful to have shared a helpful idea.

Carry on.
