🇹🇭 in Thailand (eastern psychology) many don’t really question the mind-body connection but when neuroscientists show evidence the western world also starts to believe… that your body controls your mind. scientists just found the exact brain wiring that proves it.
new research discovered the SCAN network – the brain structure that literally connects your movement areas to your thinking, planning, and emotions.
this is why:
→ slowing your breath calms anxious thoughts
→ regular exercise genuinely improves your mental state
→ vagus nerve stimulation treats depression
→ pacing helps when you’re overwhelmed
it’s not about “thinking positive” or “calming down.” it’s about using your BODY to regulate your MIND.
when you change your breathing, posture, or movement, you’re directly sending signals through this network to calm the high-alert, anxious parts of your brain.
the body-to-mind pathway is real neuroscience, not just wellness talk.
so stop trying to think your way out of anxiety. move your body, regulate your nervous system, control your breath – your mind will follow.
