Theory and practical advice.
Barely 10 per cent of people on Earth use both HEMISPHERE BALANCED HIS BRAIN.
REMAINING ADVANCE ONLY Left Hemisphere and ignores the enormous creative potential RIGHT.
WANT IS such a majority in the ranks?
Creativity and their relationship with the right cerebral hemispheres - the object of increasing interest not only for scientists but also for the part of ordinary people who are interested in the efficient use of the imagination. During the research of Roger Sperry, Joseph Боугена and Michael Gazzaniga found that each hemisphere of the brain to process information differently and has its own area of specialization. These discoveries led to the fact that in many clinics and research laboratories began to study the activities of each of the cerebral hemispheres separately.
Surgical division of the brain hemispheres allowed to observe the work of each of them separately. In the course of the studies found that the left hemisphere is responsible for processing verbal information, logical thinking and sees no wood, a lot of trees. The right hemisphere is, in contrast, specializes in intuition, spatial orientation, and thanks to him we have a sense, take a lot of trees as timber. In addition to the perception of the whole, the right hemisphere is also responsible for the expression of feelings.
In 1970 I was lucky to get acquainted with the twelve patients doctor Боугена, which he, through surgical intervention divided the brain into two independent hemispheres. During the past ten years I have conducted various studies of these patients the doctor Боугена. During the research I found that these people are rarely able to recall the dreams and fantasies, and sometimes when they recall them, it turns out that those dreams utilitarian, almost no imagination and are tied to reality. Together with Dr. Bougenom we found that people who have separated cerebral hemispheres could not express in words my feelings and not be able to transfer to another person any of his thoughts, which is a little imagination.
These observations confirmed the discovery Боугена, in that the separation of cerebral hemispheres leads to a reduction in creativity. Creative people, and especially artists, are in dire need that existed between the brain hemispheres of communication, through which they could interact and exchange information.

Many years ago, barefooted boy sat on a wall in Rome and looked down at the man who is sculpting something out of blocks of marble cutter. "Hey, Senior - boy shouted the man. - Why did you knock on that stone?" Michelangelo looked up and shouted in reply, "because there is an angel inside, and he wants to get out?"
What a brilliant example of an unusual perception of the creative process! We often think of creativity as a conscious expression of ideas. Michelangelo also applies to the creation of the sculpture differently. He wanted to release an angel, which is made in blocks of stone and do not choose to be free until the process of creating the sculpture will not be completed.
Almost all people want to increase their creative potential. But many feel that writers, composers, artists, designers and other creative people have a unique ability to innovate, which deprived the rest of death. However, this view is not entirely correct. The artist lives in all of us. The force of imagination doze in remote corners of our consciousness, and many do not pay them due attention, or simply ignore them.
In ninety-five percent of people engaged in the processing of verbal information left hemisphere. It "knows" how to act logically and to analyze, but it has nothing to do with the work of intuition and imagination. And intuition, and imagination - are areas in which the right hemisphere is specialized.
In our society, logical thinking, which is responsible for the left hemisphere, it is appreciated, but on intuition and figurative thinking, assigned the right hemisphere, do not pay attention. A large part of the adult population it is the right hemisphere of the imagination, hardly used - adults Unlearning dream and fantasize. However, with the help of special exercises can develop the latent potential for the right hemisphere, in particular the imagination.
On the huge opportunities right hemisphere for the first time I heard twenty-five years ago, the literary critic of the Los Angeles Times Robert Kirsch. He used specific techniques to increase the efficiency of their already productive work and invited me to try the same tricks. Honestly, I was sorry to lose time to do some exercises, which seemed to me too simple and not serious, to significantly improve the efficiency of my work. But out of curiosity, I decided to try. To my great surprise, some of its techniques act perfectly. I was just struck by the results and began to modify the techniques of Robert Kirsch, create new activities and form of the original program for the development of right hemisphere of brain.
Since 1970, I spent a lot of research and observation, and developed a series of exercises to stimulate the right hemisphere of the brain and by checking its performance on its students, was simply struck by the results. I even did not expect such a success. Especially I was surprised to learn how fast the process of creative thinking. Literally within a few hours of barriers to creative thinking, have been broken, and the imagination to work. I saw the "liberated angels" where previously seen a simple stone.
Some offer exercises are rooted in deep antiquity. The history of yoga and meditation technique had a few millennia. Other exercises were developed by psychiatrists and analyst, most recently, during the studies of biological feedback.
