WONDERS of the MIND
Gifts Sour & Sweet
The MIND can be thought of as a full body experience, not solely in the brain, but neuronal networks at work in the heart, throughout the digestive system and even found in skin, muscles and organs.
Brain: thinks
Heart: regulates emotional rhythms
Gut: senses, feels, and influences mood
Autonomic + sensory networks: run the background survival systems
The MIND can have clarity, capacity, motivation and positivity. The mind can also experience ignorance, confusion, limiting personal perceptions. The mind contributes thoughts, ideas, creativity, processing, planning, playing, expressing, innovating, dreaming, relating and healing. The mind assists in moving through emotions and keeping automatic systems running consistently.
