There’s a certain synchronicity that takes place moment by moment
between the brain and the body. In fact, as we begin to feel the way we are
thinking—because the brain is in constant communication with the body—
we begin to think the way we are feeling. The brain constantly monitors the
way the body is feeling. Based on the chemical feedback it receives, it will
generate more thoughts that produce chemicals corresponding to the way
the body is feeling, so that we first begin to feel the way we think and then
to think the way we feel.
Figure 3C. The neurochemical relationship between the brain and the body.
As you think certain thoughts, the brain produces chemicals that cause you
to feel exactly the way you were thinking. Once you feel the way you think,
you begin to think the way you feel. This continuous cycle creates a
feedback loop called a “state of being”We will delve deeper into this idea throughout the book, but consider that
thoughts are primarily related to the mind (and the brain), and feelings are
connected to the body. Therefore, as the feelings of the body align to
thoughts from a particular state of mind, mind and body are now working
together as one. And as you’ll recall, when the mind and body are in unison,
