Activating your Mind using your brain. The difference. By Gardner. Dr. Rwakiseta Herbert

The difference between the mind and then brain confused me to an extent that I knew they were the same! Although often used interchangeably, the two words do not mean the same thing.

However, the mind and brain are actually two very different, but interconnected, entities. The mind works through the brain but is separate from the brain. Through research I found this to be true;

What is the difference between the mind and the brain?

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 actions—their brains do not force them to do anything. Yes, there would be no conscious experience without the brain, but experience cannot be reduced to the brain's actions.

Because the mind is energy all it does is generate energy and thoughts transported through the brain that acts as a vessel.

It is our aliveness, without which, the physical brain and body would be useless. That means we are our mind, and mind-in-action is how we generate energy in the brain.

This of this explanation as electricity passing through the electric wires! You cannot see electricity because it’s energy, but you can see the wires transporting the energy. You only see the energy only when you connect to the wire a bulb or instrument for use. The transformation depends on the size of the wire. High voltage transistors use bigger wires while low voltage like that transporting to your house are smaller in side. Just like the wire, your brain does the same, transportation but not the energy itself.

This is a major part of the activity we pick up with brain technology. When we generate this mind energy through thinking, feeling, and choosing, we build thoughts, which are physical structures in our brain made of proteins. This building of thoughts creates structural changes in the brain, known as neuro plasticity.

The mind is a stream of nonconscious and conscious activity when we're awake, and a stream of nonconscious activity when we're asleep. It's characterized by a triad of thinking, feeling, and choosing. When you think, you will feel, and when you think and feel, you will choose. These three aspects always work together.

The effects

The brain is an extremely complex neuroplastic responder. This essentially means, each time it's stimulated by your mind, it responds in various ways—including neurochemical, genetic, and electromagnetic changes. This, in turn, grows and changes structures in the brain, building or wiring new physical thoughts.

The brain is never the same because it changes with every experience you have, every moment of every day. 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.

Knowing your mind and brain are separate puts you in the control seat because you can learn to manage your thoughts and actions, through your consciousness of being. Ultimately, it means you can choose what you build into your brain and how you choose to change what’s already built in, based on your attention arousal and command.

When you learn how to manage your mind, you can make feelings of depression, stress, anger, and anxiety work for you instead of against you. You can bring balance back into your brain and life.
