It is this which thinks, understands, reflects and has emotions. Brain is one of its mechanisms and its switchboard or control machinery. However, in the course of time, definite factors have led the conscient entity to identify itself with the brain or the body. This wrong recognition has caused suffering in various forms and has led the society to the path of great effort for survival and peacelessness.
The practice of Raj Yoga results in attentiveness and consciousness of the mind and illusions of material consciousness, frees one from panic of the unidentified, gives clearness and confidence about what lies beyond the immediate perceivable world. It can also be practiced for maintaining sound health, improving attentiveness for better performance in any field, overcoming character defects, developing personality,

However, advancements in the field made it possible to better understand that not only was psychology more complex than concepts of consciousness, but also that there were many other mental aspects at play. Consciousness has since been redefined to express the idea of awareness – both of personal being and the environment that exists around it. It is through cognitive neuroscience, which is the study of the brain in relation to its mental processes, that scientists can better understand the level of consciousness. Knowing how the body reacts at various levels, what human control exists in each and how they contribute to the activities of the brain can likely explain a lot about human behavior. Within cognitive neuroscience, the latest research is able to the show the ways in which brain activity centered on imagined thoughts, personal ideals and concepts and the inner working of this organ direct behavior among individuals of varying backgrounds and physical
Many people underestimate the ability of the mind. Some do not fully realize that we all have a brain, but it is the experiences that a person has that make up the mind. With such experiences, the mind has the capability to recall and judge. Due to such dynamics, the mind should be considered as a crucial attribute in the daily lives of us humans as it can either daunt us or help us. However, the mind can be controlled to a certain extent.
The brain is the most complex and magnificent organ of the human body. It controls the muscle movements, the secretions of glands,breathing and internal temperature. Every creative thought, feeling, and plan is developed by the brain. The brain acts as the body’s control center. The human brain can be divided into the forebrain, mid-brain and hind-brain.
Conclusion: The mind is substantively different from the body and indeed matter in general. Because in this conception the mind is substantively distinct from the body it becomes plausible for us to doubt the intuitive connection between mind and body. Indeed there are many aspects of the external world that do not appear to have minds and yet appear none the less real in spite of this for example mountains, sticks or lamps, given this we can begin to rationalize that perhaps minds can exist without bodies, and we only lack the capacity to perceive them.
The inquisition and philosophies between the mind and body have been being discussed for hundreds of years. Whether or not we our minds have a practical influence on our body. Or human minds are of its own entity and contain a soul that constitutes how we act and function. Dualism constitutes that the mind and body are not identical and therefore the effect of one does not influence the other. Many philosophers believed in the concept of dualism.
What is the Mind? Introduction To try and explore the ‘mind’ it is necessary to examine if the mind and the brain are separate or if the mind and body are distinct from one another? Is the mind and body separate substance or elements of the same substance? Is consciousness the result of the mechanisms of the brain, wholly separate from the brain or inextricably linked?
The human brain can be considered the most important thing for an individual to correctly function.
The Study of Mindful Based Cognitive Therapy Mindful based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is an advanced program designed to prevent relapse in people who are recovered from depression, as well as other disorders. MBCT combines the practice and clinical application of mindfulness meditation with the tools of cognitive therapy. Over the last five years give a take, (MBCT) had been making stride in a group therapy setting in array of different studies, everything from depression with suicidal tendencies, to post traumatic stress disorder, and even with cancer patients. Some consider it adaptation an Eastern medicine. Typically, they are run in eight week sessions in a group therapy setting, they also have weekly homework.
Another study at the U.S. National Institute of Health had participants do yoga every day for eight weeks, and take brain scans before and after. These scans showed that a part of the brain called the amygdala, which controls fear, anxiety and stress, had shrunk after the 8 weeks of yoga practice. Physical activity/exercise helps increase the chemical norepinephine which helps relieve stress. Exercise also helps increase endorphins in the brain which makes people feel happier and less
They say that mental processes are the same thing as brain processes. This gives us a better explanatory role with causation regarding mental states. According to the identity theory, the “Mind” and the “Brain” refer to one object (the physical brain). (Anthony Oyowe, personal
Whilst the theories and beliefs of existentialism and mindfulness are often perceived as being the exact opposite of each other, they are both focused to helping the client move on from difficult time. I.e. these therapies focused on helping the individual self-discover the healing process, leading to improve self-esteem. Both approaches aim to help the client to develop their behaviour and to heal and grow inside as individuals, accepting all the suffering such as fear and sadness and dealing with them; even though their execution is very different in both modalities (Langdridge, 2010, p.1). Existentialism is about acceptance of the fate and face the word with courage and passion. Mindfulness is focus on awareness of the present moment (Barker, 2010, p.).

Yoga and meditation could play a big part in your life a lot of people don't get that advantage of taking the class that I got to take. I never thought it would be something I'm really into and I think it's good for you just in general I would have trouble waking up in the morning so I would sun salutations to become more attentive then at night I would focus on my deep meditation along with my heart centering to bring my energy back down. Overall I think yoga has changed my perspective on how to look at situations and how to handle them, I believe it can do anyone good in their life, it can build a positive bond with your conscience and other people.
