Welcome to the Gathering Pod, the audio version of my weekly gathering room broadcast.

I'm Martha Beck.

I have been doing a lot of work on how to get into the most creative possible brain state.

And part of this is because of the practical way for finder creativity mindset program

we're running later on this summer. And part of it is because I just like doing this stuff.

Also, Jill Bulte Taylor, whom I've mentioned many times before, she's a Harvard neuroanatomist

who had a stroke that took out the left half of her brain,

basically, for about eight years, built back that part of her brain again, is now, you know,

neurotypical, as we say, but had eight years of experience with only the right side of her brain

really being dominant. And I've been reading her new book, which is amazing.

It's called Whole Brain Living.

She's going to be on this show with, she's coming to the gathering room as a guest because

that's so amazing.

Anyway, she's done all this work on the way the right brain works versus the left hemisphere

of the brain and how the creativity mindset is basically on the right the right brain works versus the left hemisphere of the brain, and how the creativity

mindset is basically on the right hand side.

And it's fascinating work and I've been using her methods and methods that I've read

in other neurology things.

And I've been getting into a very creative mindset, which is amazing.

And it's not just about like painting pictures or singing songs. It's about

building your life. It's about anything that you're creating a party, a relationship, anything.

But, and by the way, it also takes you out of fear unless you experience God. This is Jill's work, and she's just flat out says it in this new book of hers.
