CZAbout laterality
Right and Left Brain Hemispheres
The human brain hemispheres are cross-wired to the opposite sides of the body. Each hemisphere carries specific qualities, functions, and abilities, and their cooperation is ensured by the corpus callosum. Together, they form a balanced system. Each hemisphere expresses different specialized traits.
Rational Hemisphere
The rational (dominant) brain hemisphere – associated with so-called MASCULINE QUALITIES – is analytical, logical, detail-oriented, and fact-based. It handles math, language, speech, memory, willpower, and gathers data. It governs science, planning, and also processes song lyrics.
Creative Hemisphere
The creative (non-dominant) brain hemisphere – associated with FEMININE QUALITIES – processes emotions, intuition, imagination, fantasy, art, music, dreaming, creativity, and holistic thinking (multitasking). It governs rhythm, humor, taste, smell, hearing, photographic memory, and visualizations.
Left-Handers and Right-Handers
The difference between a left-handed and right-handed person lies only in the arrangement of hemispheric dominance. A right-handed person has a dominant left hemisphere, and a left-handed person has a dominant right hemisphere. In this sense, left- and right-handed individuals are mirror images of each other in terms of brain and body dominance.
When we use our brain and body in alignment with our natural setup, we have access to the full spectrum of our qualities. The brain is balanced, and so is the body. But when lateral functions are used in reversed ways – commonly known as retrained left-handedness, crossed laterality, or ambidexterity – it leads to brain imbalance and has lifelong negative effects on one’s psychological, emotional, and physical well-being.
The Principle of Laterality

Do you want to find out if you are living your natural laterality?
Read article Should I deal with laterality?. Attend the seminar Left-handedness and right-handedness, brain in balance, male/female polarity. At the seminar, participants will go through a set of differential exercises to determine whether they are left or right-handed. The seminar also includes instructions on how to gently return to their natural laterality = to repolarize.
