Dr. Jill on A Life of Greatness Podcast
It was wonderful to be a guest on A Life of Greatness podcast with Sarah Grynberg to talk about Whole Brain Living. Here is a clip about the power of meditation and how it is a beautiful tool that we can use to shift our consciousness into a more peaceful state. Peace truly is just a thought away and we can use gratitude to get there. Please listen to the full episode here: apple.co/3p5n5V0

What To Do When You Get Triggered
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 2 lety
When you get the feeling that you are not safe, how does it feel inside of your body? I hope you will watch this video about learning how to sidestep your emotional reactivity when you feel triggered, so you can ground yourself in the present moment.
Take Back Your Power
zhlédnutí 2KPřed 2 lety
I hope you will check out this video about how our brains have the ability to heal. Our brain cells are routinely undergoing neuroplasticity and we do have the ability to grow some new neurons, especially in response to trauma. We have much more power over what is going on inside of our heads than we have ever been taught.

Amazing clarity. The best explanation as to bring down anxiety quickly 👍
BEAUTIFUL, thank you ❤
You are a gift to humanity.❤
Great info and I have questions about the fact when there is real brain damage after a severe Traumatic Braininjury, can you do the same?
I am so grateful I recently stumbled upon your Ted Talk. I’ve read My Stroke of Insight, wishing I had this information when my sister had her brain aneurysm. I’m now starting Whole Brain Living in hopes of improving my own mind and how I react to situations that I get upset about. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience in such a relatable way to us laypeople. Sending love and light to you and our troubled world. ❤️
We can only make the choice to notice when the fear response dies down and we feel safe. Then we can absolutely practice noticing. Amygdala hijack is not under conscious control and it is not a conscious choice. So learning to regulate then gives us the nanoseconds we need to know here snd now I am safe, I am not then and there.
My experience is that I am very aware of the nanosecond I feel an emotion come online, and then I absolutely have the power to shift in that instant or run the circuit. True that once the circuit is triggered then it takes about 90 seconds for the chemistry to flood through me and then flush out of me, but I think we are all making decisions during that 90 seconds about our behavior...do i scream or do I stay silent, do I run or do I hit, etc. To say we can only make the choice to notice when the fear response dies down and we feel safe is not what people are reporting back to me when they practice this awareness.
@dr.jillboltetaylor6288 I'm guessing we just have different experiences. I work extensively with trauma from a sensorimotor psychotherapy perspective and with everything from flight right to full collapse. Certainly my experience is when people learn to regulate and develop a wider window of tolerance, there is much more room for the brain not to go immediately back into those well worn and pre-conditioned states of survival response. And again we may have different perspectives around where the cascade begins. You mention emotion and thought, I see the neurophysiology as being the originator and then emotion and thought. Which is why I totally agree with you that we must bring the conscious brain back online because it is only then we have choice. So it sounds like we have the age old chicken and egg conundrum 😀
Hi Dr.Jill, It’s Nok from Thailand. I happened to watch your Ted talk in youtube which you were asking what we would choose…the left or the right hemisphere. I’m just wondering how could I possibly do if I would love to choose the right hemisphere. Please kindly advise
Please read Whole Brain Living - it will help you with that
Excuse me, but I have a problem and I need your help. I was able to access La La Land and now I'm really confused and afraid, I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm in a simulation and I feel insecure.
Thanks because the plandemic as effect me tremendously.
Thank you ❤

Can you talk about the impact of taking sleep meds?
Great video!!!👍👍👍😊
I live in Osaka , Japan. I've saw the sea of energy just like every night and drew it for these 20 years. I simply thought we were just energy but I never took it a peaceful world and full of grace. First time I saw your presentation at TED yesterday !! Wow, it's 15 years ago, a long long time ago! But now, I believe we can live in this peaceful world of energy whenever we want. I' m so happy now.
Thank you for sharing this ❤
Dear Doc. Amazed ... in less than 4 minutes, you've explained so clearly... Love and hugs from Argentina
I agree the past is the past..
❤ I need a one on one conversation with you❤❤❤
I wish I could learn what was the thing that triggers me that and why. That would be a blessing. Thank you Dr Taylor for teaching us and supporting so many of us. LOVE ❤❤🩷
My problem with being able to make the decision to step back, observe, and make a conscious decision is that, especially if it is an interaction with another person that I didn't expect, it is like I have blinders on and I am from 0 to 1000 in a split second and I am not able to engage with any type of thought process. Once the incident is over, I can look back and see how helpful it would be if I had reacted differently. I am working my way through Jill's Whole Brain Living book and hope that I will be able to figure out a way to pause BEFORE I let the situation play out.
I’m in the exact same boat as you. I’ve spent a lifetime reacting to negative triggers with freeze/flight/fight, but have not yet learned how to choose a healthier solution. I wish you, and all of us, continued success in our journeys.❤
just practice taking the time to look back and go over the situation. Imagine how you would like yourself to act the next time you are in a situation like that and that exercise alone will help you start noticing faster and faster that you are reacting instead of being in a place of observation. Practice, practice, practice, that’s how mastery comes 🥰 keep going 💪🙌🙌
One entry point to the "observer" that I have found supportive is in the somatic - get familiar with the physical sensations that occur. The breath, the temperature (and where), the pulse rate, the way energy moves in the body. We have the ability to recognize this without as much cognitive effort. When I feel heat rise in my body I become aware my "anger" trigger has been activated - the sensation is my road sign - the opportunity for an off ramp of recognition that I do not have to run the whole story (intellectual) and can pause for the breath - and that 90 sec pause. Each time this is pracitced the new neural pathways get a chance to form. Thanks for reminded us we are all in a practice - divines having a human experience! @@breakingoldpatterns
This was incredible.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I gained new insights about the four different functions of the brain. I totally understand you! I turned off brain part 3 and minimized 4 at a very early age to cope with c- ptsd of the #5 child in Africa. I became codependent and developed structural disassociation to cope multiple stressful situations. I didn’t know what I was missing until you shared your experience ❤myself! I am 74 years old. Never to late but I too want young people learn to manage their brain. If you could use a parallel brain system from a different world feel free to contact me, I live with n San Diego. About 80% of my sanity comes from nature 1 and 2 I am often in hahaha 1 and 2 and my name is Joy 🎉 If you ever come to Southern California I veil tell you about my project “humanity first “
Thank you for that! On a more frivolous note, have you ever thought of selling those cool brain shirts that you wear?☺
Your IQ must be 500 this is rediculous. I watch these videos and feel like I just got knocked the the head with 25 more IQ. I love this
I realize now the movie I just watched this week (Everything Everywhere...) somehow activates even the right higher cognitive mind she talks about... It was a rare experience for me
Thank you so much for sharing this message. 🙏❤🌟
Love your explanation. Thank you so much! Especially the timeframe; I have less than 90 seconds to make a conscious aware decision. Wow! I can certainly do a lot with it!
💗
I come back to watch this now and again, it's such a good reminder. Dr Jill, you are such a hoot!
Whole Brain Living is the best book ever written in my humble opinion.
How wonderful!
SUPERB
I think you need to share more videos like this. Surprised your channel had so few videos. I love you but I need more of your videos to share.
HI, although I don't post many things I have given around 300 podcast interviews - so if you do a hunt on youtube you should find a ton of content!? hugs!
@@dr.jillboltetaylor6288I just order your newest book, can't wait to read. 😊
