Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 very simple philosophical answer is: brain is a spatial thing, while mind is a non-spatial or with other words, brain is a material thing, mind is non-material. now the real question is how do this two connect and where... you probably heard about koshas, the dimensions or layers of human body, there are five of them 1. material or food body, 2. mental body, 3. vital energy body, 4. psychic or higher mental body and 5. transcendental or bliss body. they are all connected and affecting one makes changes on the other. it is said that chakras are the points where body and mind connects. That¹s how people can tell our problems and behavior by looking at the proper work of chakras... it goes on and on about this connection There are good sites about chakras and about the fourth step of ashtanga (as the yoga philosophy) Pranayama, which explain this in details. hope that clarifies the subject at least to some extent. jana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
