Have you given thought to how your mind works in connection with your body? Much of the body seems to run on autopilot. You don’t think about making sure your heart beats, your lungs inflate, and that you exhale every time those lungs fill up. You never think about regenerating your cells or making sure your gut digests the food you eat. Nope, most functions of your body seem independent of your mind. 

The body does many things on its own, but it does rely on the mind to lead the way. Your mind makes a lot of the decisions that directly affect the efficiency, health, and appearance of the body. The body may be responsible for using food for fuel, but the mind decides what food goes into the body. The body may wear the clothes that make the man, but the mind chooses the clothing that comes off the hanger.

Your mind and body are meant to be aligned

Your mind and body are designed to be in sync. Your mind influences your body and your body influences your mind. This give-and-take should be a harmonious expression. When you feel tired, your body exhibits the aches and pains that come from lack of sleep – signaling the mind it’s time for a break. When the mind senses danger, it alerts the nervous system and creates the fight or flight reflex, getting you to safety as fast as possible.

Sometimes your mind and body are disconnected

Sometimes there is a disconnect between the mind and the body. What you see outside doesn’t truly reflect how you feel inside. There’s something missing – a gap of sorts – between your mind and what you are thinking and the body and what you are experiencing. 

This disconnect tends to be unconscious, leaving you oblivious to the fact that one is truly influencing the other – whether negatively or positively. The key to reconnecting the mind and body is awareness.  Becoming conscious that what you are thinking about could be sabotaging what your body is experiencing can result in:

• Headaches
• Illnesses
• Digestive issues
• Dissatisfaction with your style
• Weight fluctuations
• And more!

Closing the gap between your mind and body reconnects the synchronicity and gets things back on track with a healthy mind and body connection.

Your mind and body have separate functions that are designed to be in harmony and work in sync with one another. When your mind and body are consciously connected, your inward thoughts easily manifest in your outward expression and fully represent the best of what you are thinking in your mind and seeing in the mirror!
