Where the body is, the mind is. The mind is not an independent entity or a separate realm but an emergent process of the body’s material existence. Thoughts, emotions, and awareness are grounded in the physical processes of the brain and nervous system, which are inseparable from the body. To speak of the mind apart from the body is to misunderstand its nature. The mind is always embodied, and its experiences are situated where the body is, in space and time. Recognizing this eliminates the disorientation caused by dualistic separations and firmly roots the mind in material reality.
