Rainbow breakdown of Jill Bolte Tayor’s TED talk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I discovered the colors of my Speak-the-Rainbow theory could be linked to differences in how our left brain and right brain process information when I watched Jill Bolte Taylor<\/a>‘s\u00a0amazingly colorful\u00a0TED<\/a> talk: My stroke of insight.<\/p>\n

Fellow TEDxIHEParis<\/a> coach, Dawn Z Bournand<\/a>, and the writer of How to deliver a TED talk<\/span>,\u00a0Jeremey Donovan<\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0both\u00a0cite Jill’s talk as an example of how to use a prop: a real brain complete with spinal cord. \u00a0Jill’s talk is also a wonderful example of how a TED presenter can speak science<\/strong> and the rainbow<\/strong> at the same time. And the bonus is, while Jill explains how each side of the brain thinks, you learn the sides of the brain which trigger and are triggered by my seven Speak-the-Rainbow colors. A slide from the talk even shows the brain as a fragmented rainbow.<\/p>\n

We learn the right brain, discussed between 3′ 47″ and 4’40”, is responisble for information in the form of energy which is present in the “right here, right now”. That means both yellow (joy) and orange (energy) orginate in the right brain. Later in her talk, Jill decribes how feelings of nirvana and timelessness also orginate in the right brain. Thus, purple thoughts (soul) flow from the right brain too.<\/p>\n

The Left brain is then explained as responsible for linear thinking (the past through to the future) as well as language functions. Thus red (past emotions), green (hope for future), and indigo (structure and language) are formed and triggered in the left brain. Jill also states that the feeling and knowing of “I am”, which is our blue, orignates in the left brain too.<\/p>\n

To sum up:<\/p>\n

Right brain – Orange<\/a>, Yellow<\/a>, Purple<\/a><\/p>\n

Left brain: Red<\/a>, Green<\/a>, Blue<\/a>, Indigo<\/a><\/p>\n
