Jill Bolte Taylor 2 .... and Oprah

I love giving you good news and again I am happy to direct you to great women.. In one of my older posts i already mentioned Jill Bolte Taylor who had an enlightening experience when she had a severe stroke. She also wrote a book about it which I would like to recommend to you. The book is called: A Stroke of Insight. And yet again I am happy to direct you to Jill Bolte's website and a radio interview she had with Oprah. I just saw the 4 video's today and higly recommend you see them, listen and learn.

For Jill having the stroke turned into a spiritual experience. She calls herself a stroke triumphant as opposed to a stroke survivor. She also gives great insight into how there are 2 kinds of people, those who give energy and those who take as people woh suffered a stroke often become highly sensitive in every way.

And she comes to the same conclusion all masters do and have done: to watch your thoughts and that we are not our thoughts. Great stuff and much to learn also for all of us calling ourselves helpers and caregivers.
