Have you ever awakened in a hotel somewhere because you've traveled so much and you're going, where am I?
There's this blank.
Right.
And it's like, I don't know, but the bed's comfy.
You know, what a nice room.
You know, and all of a sudden you're just right here right now and you're not about the past and you're not about the future and you're just in the present moment.
And joy lives in the present moment.
Love lives in the present moment.
Laughter lives in the present moment.
The present moment is a fantastic place.
And we are wired to that by literally half our brain.
So why wouldn't we spend more time over here?
Or at least balance it out.
That's all I ever ask for.
I am not here to, you know, as waving the flag of the right hemisphere.
I want whole brain living.
I want people to understand the different parts of their brain, what they do, so that it says, okay, so let's say, do you meditate?
Okay, sometimes.
What's it like for you?
Okay, why?
