Over two decades ago, Oklahoma City residents David and Barbara Green began to envision a fine furnishings store unlike any other. The cultural treasures they had seen from around the globe ignited their imagination for years and eventually inspired Hemispheres. After years of dreaming and months of planning, Hemispheres made its debut in Oklahoma City on September 4, 2001 and has since added another location in Oklahoma and six locations in Texas. These are in Allen, Arlington, Cedar Park, Frisco, Lewisville, and our newest location in San Antonio. Furnishings and accessories are nestled into multiple vignettes throughout the 50,000 to 60,000 square foot showrooms that invite our guests’ imaginations to soar. Hemispheres’ products come from all over the globe and represent craftsmanship and skills finely honed by centuries of culture and tradition in Europe and the Far East. As a result of hours of dedication to detail, each product has a story steeped in history. Because our buyers travel directly to remote villages and tucked-away markets, many of our accessories and furnishings are unique to Hemispheres. Treasures such as hand-knotted rugs, ornate armoires, luxurious bedding and sofas and other home furnishings provide a window to exotic Old World luxury of merchants and royalty.

I didn't altogether understand the importance of attention when I first discovered that it was different in the two hemispheres. I thought, well, gosh, that is interesting. And what wasn't even looking for it, I just happened to be very interested in attention at one point. So I read all the material I could and it clearly emerged that there was a difference in the way the two hemispheres attended. And from that, of course, many, many t I just thought of attention as another function of the brain, T A mac Because attention is the way in w Consciousness is always towards or of somet Consciousness can't not have a goal or an aim or an object or a concern.

What is also fascinating is that there is an exercise which I have done and which I And of course that would be that is exactly why we have two hemispheres. You can't possibly do that with one hemisphere, because one arising center of consciousness can only be disposed one way. That's why we have two so that we can dispose them differently. So do you feel that such an exercise might be a way of balancing the hemispheres? It is a way. I mean in terms of EEG, electrophysiological record, it is a way in w And in many meditative practices it particularly engages the right hemisphere. And the experienced meditators, there are findings, both functional findings about how the right hemisphere is functioning in such subjects, but also anatomical findings that certain areas of the right hemisphere that are particularly important for it become enlarged or t So it certainly is a matter of engaging the right hemisphere and also the left. It plays a role. It's pretty interesting.
