The Myth Of Right and Left Brain Thinking!
We all love the metaphor of right and left brain thinking but I've been pointing out for years that it's just not true. Everyone uses both sides, all the time.

It rose to prominence in China and Russia, where is has been extensively studied and used therapeutically. Needless to say, Western medicine ignores it disdainfully.
Meanwhile, the science has started to roll in. PLUS... you don't even need lasers; houeshold LEDs will work too.
