 In order for us to have full access to our full
potential, we need to be able to access both sides of
our brains.
 Finding out which side of our brain is dominant is a good starting point for realizing how our
brain works, and how we can wake up other parts of our brains to not only prevent disease,
but to live up to our full potential as human beings.
 Imagine how much more full our lives will be if we are using every part of our brain.
Einstein is a perfect example of someone who used both sides of his brain interchangeably.
He was obviously incredibly scientific, logical, and math oriented, yet he was completely in
touch with his intuition and right brain creativity.
 He once said that ìmagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to
all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there
ever will be to know and understanding (Not a quote you would think of as coming from the
typical left brain scientist.)
