The Brain and the Mind

Fact!

Any process that helps you change your perception will change the activity of the brain and the way the brain commands the mind to work. The idea is that when you can change the way the brain works you'll effectively also change your mind. 

The mind takes its commands from the brain and then an action is performed that correlates with the request of the brain. The brain's job is to take in all of this varied sensory information that you’re experiencing and work out what needs to be done in order to keep you in a state of balance. 

When most people try and change they unconsciously react like addicts and that's because they have become addicted to any familiar or recurring emotions, As the past thoughts, experiences and memories trigger the same behaviours over and over again the body eventually becomes addicted to those feelings and the trail of biochemistry that they leave. 

Eventually, the body will begin to behave as though it has a mind of its own and search for its next fix, This is why most find it hard to change or, why people tend to have uncontrollable urges or do things in the heat of the moment and then think why on earth did I just do that. 

The brain mediates our perceptions, every emotion, every thought, every sensation that we have has a corresponding action in the brain.Your brain accounts for about 20% of your body's blood, oxygen and energy usage, this impressive organ houses approx 100 billion neurons which make up to 10,000 synapses or synaptic connections which are basically connections to other neurons. 

Now, why does this information matter?, it matters because these synaptic connections form the programs that effectively become your default habits and behaviours!
