The Mind-Body Connection
The mind-body connection is very strong. Our thoughts, emotions, attitudes and memories are not mere non-physical vibrations which spread in the atmosphere but they are definite electrochemical events occurring in the hypothalamus of the brain. Now with the help of PET scanning, physiological changes occurring in the brain along with change in thoughts, emotions etc., can be seen on a computer screen. After a lot of research in thought-chemistry now it has been proved these thoughts/emotions which are mental energy get converted into matter called neuropeptides in the hypothalamus. These neuropeptides have been chemically isolated and identified. They go to each cell of the body through the blood and each cell of the body (body has 50 – 70 trillion cells) has receptors for these neuropeptides. These neuropeptides act as bio-chemical messengers from the brain to each cell of the physical body and each cell has to obey these messages / orders from the brain. So this way brain talks to each cell of the various organ systems of the body through the neuropeptides. Thus from the above research (which has been verified by the medical fraternity of the of the Brahma Kumaris) it is evident how deep an effect our state of mind has on the body.
