Meditative State

For people who have been doing meditation for quite some time might have experienced moments of intense energy and a feeling of oneness with the environment around you. If you wondered why that is so, here is a nice talk at TED conference by Jill Bolte a Neuro Anatomist who talks about the explicit roles of left and right brain hemispheres. The right treats all information by our sense organs as a stream of energy without any preconceived notions before the left picks it up to dissect it. I guess during deep meditation we are deliberately switching off the left to make the right more prominent which is causing those feelings of intense energy.

Note: The speaker never mentions anything explicitly about mediation, its purely my personal opinion.
