The mind body connection is the interaction of mental, emotional and physical aspects of the human life experience.
Thoughts, feelings and emotions are "non-physical" in the sense that no one has ever seen, heard, smelled, tasted or touched a thought or feeling. However, no one can deny that what we think and feel can have a powerful impact on our physical bodies, our actions, and the physical results in our environment.
The mind is a tricky thing. Some say the mind is a result of electrical activity in the brain. Others believe the mind exists outside of the body and affects the brain, causing the electromagnetic activity that we can observe with technology. Either way, the mind is not something we can point to and say, "There it is"!
The body, on the other hand, is not only observable, but very intimate. The impact of the mind body connection is immediate and personal. With our bodies we can sense the nature of our thoughts and feel the nature of our emotions. The body transforms the non-physical into physical experience that gives meaning and purpose to our desires and imaginations.
Metaphysics is the study of the true nature of reality. Reality has both physical and non-physical aspects that cannot exist without each other. A mind without a body to experience the physical effect of thought and emotion cannot know itself. Without self-awareness there can be no consciousness. And without consciousness there is no life experience as we know it.
Of course, the dense physical bodies we are used to may not be the only form a body might take. A body could be any form taken by a finite quantity of mass and energy. Some believe that humans are evolving into "light bodies". This type of form would still allow a mind body connection, and a "physical" experience that permits self-awareness and consciousness to exist. The possibilities and potentials of such a body are almost unimaginable!
The mind body connection is real, it exists within you now, and there is no need to create or develop such a connection.

~~ Mind Over Matter: Mind over matter is a phenomenon of the human mind, both conscious and subconscious, projecting and perceiving your experience of physical reality.
~~ Thoughts Become Things: There is an infinite variety of thought available to the mind. However, thinking alone, like the lines of a blueprint on paper, cannot build anything. Belief is thinking that is given meaning and direction by the mind using the power of emotion. It is this energy and the resulting vibrational signals that activate the thought and causes physical manifestation and experience to take place.
~~ Brain Hemispheres: In today's rapidly changing world, left hemisphere functioning is no longer enough. The jobs of tomorrow will require creative and intuitive thinking and action. Successful individuals can and must learn how to integrate and use a fully functional brain.
~~ Meditation Techniques: Today, you have access to meditation techniques and technologies that will save a great deal of time and effort, and bring results that even a seasoned guru would envy.
~~ The Universal Mind: When we realize that our physical reality is made up of thought, then it is natural to want to control our thoughts to control our physical life experience. However, it is not thought that gives rise to our life experience. It is feeling. The feelings that give substance to the thoughts in our Mind create our life experience.
~~ The Subconscious Mind: The true relationship between conscious and subconscious Mind is a feedback loop. Each point of consciousness in creation sends feedback to the subconscious aspect of the Mind in the form of images it perceives and the feelings experienced with each image. This feedback loop of energy and information allows the Mind to experience, learn, grow and expand.
Mind Body Connection: THE BODY
~~ Healing: The word "heal" is derived from the Gaelic word meaning "whole". Healing is a process of remembering that who you really are is already whole.
How quantum science is being used by people to heal body, mind, and soul.
~~ Healthy Body Healthy Mind: While it is important to exercise and eat right to maintain good health, these physical aspects by themselves are not enough. Applying the non-physical, metaphysical, or spiritual practices to your life, such as meditation and choosing live foods rich in biophoton energy, can make the difference between illness and disease or true health.
~~ Chakras: Anything that connects Mind to Heart, or Spirit, will create a coherent electromagnetic heart field that surrounds and penetrates the entire body. A coherent heart field opens the energy centers, erasing stress and creating an experience of vitality and well being.
~~ Body Mind & Spirit: Metaphysics explains how a Mind directed by Spirit creates a healthy Body.
Mind Body Connection: THE CONNECTION - HEART & SOUL
~~ Heart Intelligence: Heart Intelligence can be accessed using simple practices and intentions that create a state called "heart coherence" - connecting the Heart and Mind.
~~ Emotional Intelligence: Emotions are non-physical, and therefore fall within the realm of metaphysics and metaphysical studies. Science, being confined to the observable, measurable and quantifiable, has claimed that emotions are caused by the brain and/or chemicals in the body. However, more recent research has revealed that the brain and body are affected by our emotional reactions and responses to events and our memories of them, not the other way around.
~~ Social Intelligence: We know that the mind, by its processes of perception, creates what we perceive as reality. And we know that the Heart produces a field of energy and information that influences the mind. But it is not just our own Heart affecting only our own mind. Whenever we interact with others, the Heart-fields interact and influence each other. And that has an impact upon us, mentally, physically, and emotionally.
~~ A Daily Prayer for Peace of Mind: Based on sound metaphysical science, psychology, and spiritual wisdom, this prayer reaches deep into the Heart and Mind to find, open and heal stress-creating images, thoughts and beliefs.
Mind Body Connection: BEYOND THE BODY
~~ Parapsychology: Parapsychology is the attempt to apply the scientific method in understanding the true nature of paranormal experience as it applies to the human mind and/or soul.
~~ Psychic Awareness: Psychic awareness is literally a conscious comprehension of the life force or Spirit within us, and the power of the human mind.Developing psychic awareness gives us access to the subconscious mind, the collective human consciousness, and empowers us to have an influence upon the energies that affect our health, relationships, and success in life.
~~ The Out of Body Experience: An out of body experience, (also known as astral projection, near death experience, remote viewing, lucid dreaming, etc.), can act as a window into the true nature of human consciousness and the physical world perceived by the human mind.
