It's an amazing story, both uplifting and powerful on three levels: physical, emotional, and spiritual, but the spiritual aspect alone makes this the best book I've read all year. How often do you get to hear a neuroscientist describe having a stroke, nearly dying and finding Nirvana, and then making a miraculous recovery so that she's back to teaching medical students!?! I came away with a renewed sense of understanding, wonder and hopefulness about the capabilities of the human brain. I give "My Stroke of Insight" highest marks! You can get the book for just $16.47 with free shipping from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Stroke-Insight-Scientists-Personal/dp/0670020745/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210709205&sr=8-4" rel="nofollow">Amazon!</a> I’ve been recommending a book by Jill Bolte Taylor called “My Stroke of Insight” to everyone I know.

I've heard inspirational speakers who made me want to "jump for joy." But never have I heard such a fascinating and moving description of surely what it feel like to die. Both beautiful with the lifting of the chains that bind us and constrict us to our reality, and... terrifying of the pain and fear that accompanies us as we slip away, never to see the individuals that surround us or hear the chatter of our own voices in our minds. I knew earlier today I was nearing a critical turning point in my life. I just needed a little kick in the pants. This video did just that. Thank you Jill. Peace, Love and Respect ~Howard To all,

I am so impressed with who you are for your audience, what you have accomplished, and am very excited about what's to come! I really enjoyed your TS last week, and have a lot to learn from you! The Universe always gives you what you need and I needed this video this week. I was dealt tragic news for 4 people I love in my life and my left brain was on overload. I am still rocked by what's going on, but this message helped me remember that I am one with them and not only do I share their pain, but they share my light and love. I shared this with many close friends and family. Shari and I can't wait to hang out with you in Vegas! Keep contributing to others, sista! Love, Joe Marie, Marie, Marie, this video is amazing and so are you!

We get so caught up in what we believe is important that we forget that stuff. I had a similar experience to Jill's when I was a kid. I was hit by a car (I had crossed the main road my mother had warned me about! Even though I made it to the other side safely a car hit me on the pave ment on the other side.) I recall feeling very relaxed and having the the pic piture in front of me. i was ready to transition but the ceiling of the hospital room didn't allow me to go beyond. Luckily because the next minute my mom came in and I could see her from above weeping that I felt such compassion I decided I had to stay. According to the doctors I was unconscious during this time!
