What is the Mind?
Our mind is the collection of processes in our brain and body that influence our behaviour and that we experience and can become aware of in one form or another.
Notes
The mind is something that we all experience and yet it doesn't actually exist.
'Mind' is not a 'thing' but rather is a process or a model, so the mind cannot be defined in a rigorous way. Different Theories of Mind or Mind Models can be equally valid but are suitable for different purposes. I suggest the basic definition above to give an appreciation of Mind that we experience and which has functionality that determines our behaviour,
Mind includes conscious and non-conscious processes.
Mind includes brain-based and body-based processes. Body-based processes are included partly because the brain and body are closely coupled and inter-dependent and also because the body provides feelings that directly influence, or reflect, our mental states of being.
