I'm currenty predominantly right handed and definitly left brained, as
the would say. Right now, though i'm trying to make my self proficient
at using my left at everything. I already eat and do other neccessities
lefty, and also play pingponglefty. Wrighting is harder of course, but
i will master it in time. I want to know if this would be of any use in
becoming a right brain thinker faster. All the things lefthanded people
seem to be gifted for like music and art and visuallization, i possess
in a lesser degree. Will using my left hand make me better able to
achieve in those areas?

Also, on a different note, do concentration excercises and the
requirement to do such stop creativity? Seems that focusing on one
object for a period of time rejecting any incomeing thoughts and images
is counterproductive to imagestreaming. Would practicing both nullify
each other?

No idea. You should try, though. It won't hurt. Other people will be
more knowledgable in this area than me, though.

I wouldn't say so, no, as long as you focus on something that is in
fact creative. Also, don't confuse concentration with forcing. If you
sit down and force yourself to be creative, it won't work, but you can
still focus/concentrate on it.

Rejecting any incoming thoughts and images is necessary in many
situations, but when it's not, you shouldn't.

What do you mean? Ignoring other images and thoughts at times won't
diminish your image stream and/or creativity, but if you squelch a lot
of your subtle thoughts for any reason, image streaming will certainly
compensate for it.
