Why is there a seperation between the body and the mind such that we are incapable of controlling all bodily functions manually (such as digestion)?
In: Biology
There are some things that are controllable with practise, that most people don’t do. Waggling your ears, flaring your nostrils, raising one eyebrow. Holding your breath for 22 minutes. Of the three types of muscle we only have direct control over the skeletal muscles, not the cardiac or smooth muscles of our internal organs. Even so, there is a route via the solar plexus, which is linked to both brain and organs, and which can be somewhat influenced by the imagination.
