Brain Dominance Theory
PSYCH-K™ | Is PSYCH-K™ for You? | Belief Statements
(Using both sides of your brain)
Over the past several decades much research has been conducted relative to “brain dominance” (also known as split-brain research). The results indicate that each hemisphere of the brain tends to specialize in and preside over different functions, process different kinds of information, and deal with different kinds of problems.
Left Hemisphere
uses logic/reason
thinks in words
deals in parts/specifics
will analyze/break apart
thinks sequentially
is time bound
is extroverted
characterized as male
Identifies with the individual
is ordered/controlled
Right Hemisphere
uses emotions/intuition/creativity
thinks in pictures
deals in wholes/relationship
will synthesize/put together
thinks simultaneously/holistically
is time free
is introverted
characterized as female
identifies with the group
is spontaneous/free
What this means in a nutshell is that whenever we can enlist both sides of our brains we increase our capacity for learning quickly and easily, and we harness more power because we have access to the faculties of both columns in the above list. Full brain integration expands us from a half-brain state literally to a whole brain state. Also, empowering beliefs can be installed with amazing speed because we not only incorporate both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously but also enlist the subconscious mind (Over 90% of our mind power) in the process too!
