If the brain is responsible for hormone distribution, neuronal movements and blood flow in the body, why can’t we control it?

Question

Thanks to our brain, we can control raising our right hand or opening and closing our eyes whenever we want.

Why can’t we control the blood pumped in our body or the division of our cells with the same brain?

Answer 1

Some Yogi’s, and other gurus do.

If you focus on a specific body part long enough you can learn to control it.

Just like breathing is automatic, and even happens when you sleep, you can learn to consciously over ride it. (A neccessary skill for swimming).

Emotions can cause us to blush, another automatic body function that indicates capillary flow could be controlled at will. (You can start by deciding to think of embarrassing things when you want to blush).
