Open Question

Does the mind control the body or the other way around?

Experts say the brain is not separate from the body – it’s just another part of your physiology that uses hormones and other chemicals to interact with the areas from your neck down. At the same time, there are many who believe that it is the “thinking” area of our brain – and the thoughts it processes -- that can affect some of that chemistry. One example is the role of stress in infertility. A new study shows that when women are stressed, those emotions can affect the brain chemistry that influences reproductive hormones. The reverse can be seen in the healing powers of mind-body treatments such as medical hypnosis and meditation. They work to reduce stress by countering negative thoughts and emotions.
