Your brain isn’t technically the same thing as your mind although there’s a strong bond between both in terms of how they operate and communicate with each other.
Your brain is the physical fabric of your mind through which the mind itself communicates thoughts, emotions, willful desires, and actions by firing neurons at appropriate times to influence the physical body.
Neuron is known as the basic element; in other words, the basic working unit which constitutes the physical structure of the brain.2
Neurons are specialized cells within the nervous system designed by God to transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells.
To put it in a spiritual and mental context, neuron is nothing more than the very means through which the soul, the immaterial part of yourself transmits consciousness (the awareness of being or self) to the gross material body mediated by the brain.
It means that when thinking, the thought itself within your mind from the level of your soul unleashes a neural effect inside the brain.
Therefore, there’s some type of chemical reaction taking place in the brain during the process.
This explains the reason why overthinking can potentially lead to stress and headache.
The thoughts going through the mind aren’t just mental or immaterial.
They have a physical component attached to them that back them up at the brain level by which you can feel them through your body.
The brain is the very embodiment of the physical body which controls it. The very part of yourself that regulates or monitors all physical needs.
Your mind encapsulates the soul, the center of your personality, the very fabric of whom you are which exists inside your body, and who expresses itself in this world through your body by means of your brain.
In short, your mind controls your actions.
Your brain sends you all types of signals, urges, cravings, or physical appetites by means of feelings which demand a quick response.
However, you use your mind or soul to respond to them through conscious or voluntary efforts.
We are connected to this physical world through our 5 senses. The brain communicates with the soul through the means of the reality it perceives through the 5 senses by responding to every internal or external stimuli.
That reality is then captured by the limbic system part of the brain, the gathering place for sensory information.
It interprets that information in millisecond before transferring it to the prefrontal cortex for processing and execution, the soul.
The soul communicates with the brain to affect the body through its 3 main attributes called intellect, emotion, and will.
Both the brain and the mind interact with each other via mutual communication.
The brain communicates with the mind on the ground of what it perceives from that physical level of reality, the realm of the senses.
The mind in turn either responds or communicates with the brain what it perceives from a mental or metaphysical level.
This issue of trauma has taken a toll on how both the brain and mind interact with each other to create that pattern of vicious memories leaving the mind restless, which affect how you feel, and ultimately influence your behavior.
