Yeah, I mean, it's remarkable. I knew something had to be going on with my brain because I was feeling so different. I was managing stress. And I think it was the first time that I was stressing out about something and my husband said to me, why don't you go quilt? And I thought, huh, yes. And also, what the heck is going on? Was that an immediate feeling in your brain, in your body? Totally.

Let me tell you a little bit about what I think is going on in your brain and what all of these various neurosurgeons have told me. Okay, so, some of it has to do with this idea of bilateral brain activity. So, you know, we have our right brain and our left brain. And when we are engaged in bilateral stimulation, that actually makes us relaxed. It induces a kind of comfortable feeling.

Und Quilting und ein anderes Handwerk sind eine sehr bilateralen Aktivität, weil man beide Hände benutzt. Man geht zwischen Dinge, die sehr technisch und mathematisch sind und eine Art kreatives Ding. Und man macht das sortieren, wieder und wieder.

So the default mode network is this brain system that is active when you're in the state of, think about wakeful rest, right? You're letting your mind wander. It might be when you're on a walk, when you're not controlling what you're thinking about, right? Und diese Art von wachsendem Rest, wenn dein Default-Mode-Netzwerk sich aufschließt und übernimmt, ist sehr, sehr ruhig.
