Dr. Leaf | Anatomy of Thought Part 2

hi I'm Dr Caroline Leaf in this video blog we're going to be talking more about the anatomy of thought how thoughts actually form information comes in from the outside through the five

senses the five senses are your contact between the external world and the internal world of your mind as the information comes in through your brain it passes through 100 different

structures in your brain through major physiological processes and the result is that you actually have genetic expression happening which means proteins are made and you grow branches

so all day long this is happening at 400 billion actions per second your brain is working hard all the time as you are thinking choosing and building so you are constantly changing and redesigning

the architecture of your brain so every thought that you that you build is actually changing the structure of your brain and impacting on the health of your body you see thoughts are the connection between the mind and the body

as you think then it's going to it's going to build in your brain and going to impact your body scientists have found that we are wired or designed to build healthy thoughts so if we look at our Green Tree over here this is

symbolic of a healthy thought this is the natural wiring of the brain as we receive information from the outside through the five senses and it passes through that process and chemicals are released and electrical chemical

reactions happen and genetic expression and all this fancy stuff that's happening the result will be that you grow thoughts all of that is designed in a positive direction but because we are have free will because we think and

choose because we can think and choose we sometimes make bad choices and when we choose to operate in maybe anger or frustration or bitterness or toxic things we actually still wire that into

the brain but we wire it in as a toxic thought and a toxic thought is an unnatural design but it still wires in because your brain is neuroplastic your that means neuro means brain plastic

means can change your brain is constantly changing wiring and growing all the time so if it's good or bad you still wire it in and this is a toxic thought and toxic thoughts cause toxic

bodies 87 to 95% of current mental physical emotional behavioral problems today come from our thought life
