So what exactly is the difference between the mind and the brain?

Well, the mind is separate, yet inseparable from, the brain.

The mind uses the brain, and the brain responds to the mind.

The mind also changes the brain.

People choose their actionstheir brains do not force them to do anything.

Themind is energy, and it generates energythrough thinking, feeling, and choosing.

This is a major part of the activity we pick up with brain technology.

This building of thoughts creates structural changes in the brain, calledneuroplasticity1.

The brain was responding to the person’s stream-of-consciousness and nonconscious activity.

It’s characterized by a triad of thinking, feeling, and choosing.

When you think, you will feel, and when you thinkandfeel, you will choose.

These three aspects always work together.

So, how does this affect us?

The brain is an extremely complex neuroplastic responder.

This, in turn, grows and changes structures in the brain, building or wiring new physical thoughts.

In sum: Your mind is how you, uniquely, experience life.

It’s responsible for how you think, feel, and choose.

And your physical brain merely responds to these unique experiences.

you’ve got the option to bring balance back into your brain and life.
