Mind
Art & Science of Meditation
Mind can be used positively or negatively. One can use it positively through positive thinking, positive emotions, positive perceptions, positive attitudes and positive behaviour. With positive mind one can achieve good health as even the immunity of our body improves. Immunity means resistance to diseases, so positive thinking and behaviour are very important for living a healthy and peaceful life. Similarly negative thinking, negative behaviour, negative perceptions and negative emotions can reduce our immunity and one can be a victim of disease.
Main functions of the mind are as follows:
• Thought process • Emotions • Perceptions • Behaviour • Intelligence • Memory • Orientation • Judgement • Insight
These are the main functions of mind but as said above mind can function more than brain's capacity, because mind is thought to be a driver of the SELF (Soul).
