The M.B.A. program I graduated from incorporated right-brain thinking
in several of it's courses. The thinking is that the right brain
should be used as another tool for solving business problems. There
was even an Artist-in-Residence hired. She has a PhD in some field
of art and would lead exercises in visualization and art appreciation.
Ned Hermann, an author/researcher from North Carolina has written on
the subject of brain dominance (left side vs. right side) and how to
incorporate them. He even has a test that will tell which is your
dominant side. One suggestion he had for tapping into the right side
is to take a camera and several rolls of film out into a nature preserve
and take 100 pictures, not particulary caring what you take them of. The
essence is to not get all logical and say I going photograph this, then
that. Leave the left brain out and just let right take over. You'll find
it very relaxing and creative -- just go with the flow. You'll soon be
looking at the world through a different lens (pun intended).
Good luck,
Don
