This lobe is located between the frontal and occipital lobes, with the temporal lobes on each side (shown above in blue) and is involved with:
• The sensory skills
• It integrates different types of sensory information
• Particularly useful in the spatial processing and navigation.
• It involves integrating sensory stimuli from different parts of the body including the sensation of touch
• Surprisingly it is also involved in understanding numbers - particularly the left parietal lobe
• It is also involved in our ability to manipulate objects
• It also is made up of the somatosensory cortex and is part of the visual system.
• The parietal lobe is important for visual and language processing.
• The right lobe is designed to process images

Found at the back of the head (shown above in aqua) it is responsible for:
• The visual cortex
• Visual processing
• Different parts of the occipital lobe work on different parts of visual processing, such as colour discrimination, movement and perception
• Damage to this area can cause blindness

The Temporal Lobe (shown above in pink) is involved with:
• Short and long term memories
• Auditory processing
• Emotional responses
• Biological drives, such as aggression and sexuality
Other aspects of the temporal lobe include:
• It contains the hippocampus - which is the memory centre of the brain - this part of the brain plays a role in long term memories which are emotion-laden based on input from the amygdala.
• The left temporal lobe contains the primary auditory cortex
• The second largest lobe and found behind our ears
Trouble with this lobe can show up as:
• Selective attention to what we see and hear
• Difficulty learning and retaining new information
• Persistent talking
☼ Often after I have done my energy healing, people feel calmer and find that their emotional attachment to past situations changes. It is no longer charged emotionally like it was.

The Frontal Lobe (shown above in turquoise) controls:

• Voluntary movement - motor function
• Expressive language
• Problem Solving
• Memory
• Judgement
• Impulse control
• Social and sexual behaviour
When there is a problem with this area it may show up as:
• Speech problems
• Changes in personality
• Issues with co-ordination
☼ In my healing modalities - I work with all the lobes of the brain to have them functioning at their best.
