Are you left brained, or right brained?

There are strong functional differences between right brain and left brain. We often use the metaphor with our hypnosis clients that the left brain represents the conscious mind, because it deal with on language and the spoken word, while the right brain represents the unconscious because it hears tonality in speech.
We say the left brain represents the conscious mind because it focuses on the fovea of the visual sense, where details of what we consciously pay attention to are mapped, while the right brain represents the unconscious because it pays attention to the peripheral of the visual sense, where everything not in conscious attention is mapped.
Does this mean that someone who is left-brained is ‘conscious’ and someone who is right-brained is unconscious? Fortunately not. Research indicates that everyone is both right and left brained depending on what they are doing at any particular time.
personal development involves developing both left and right brain capabilities so that you can become a whole-brainer. Here’s a recent piece of research on the matter from
Jeff Anderson of the University of Utah:
