According to the neuroscientist Dr Lisa Feldman Barret, who has been studying emotions for the past 30 years,

Dr Lisa in her latest findings concludes-, that there are no emotions, in the language of science, our brain is constantly making predictions (she calls it guesses) and the majority of what we think, act, believe, and perceive is based on the core role of the brain which is to predict.


And do you know, how this prediction or guesswork works?


It is entirely based on the meanings assigned to it.


The meanings your body captures from the

Internal body sensation and

The external world through the help of our five senses.

in the form of experiences.


So, while we go about our lives, our subconscious mind is constantly taking the feed both from our internal and external world and assigning meanings to it.


My blog post this week is on it, through a piece from my life.
