Why are we able to use the brain to fight the urge to sneeze or vomit, when it’s the brain that’s urging us to do so?

Our ability as humans to overcome, and suppress those reactions, urges, and other involuntary responses to stimuli through some training, or practice helps support the adage ‘mind over matter.’
