CORE IDEA #1: THE MIND AND BODY ARE INTIMATELY CONNECTED
Think about what happens if you get home from work and check your phone messages, and there is a message from your significant other saying the proverbial, "WE HAVE TO TALK!" You automatically try to figure out what you did wrong; your pulse quickens, your palms get clammy, you get a headache - your mind heard the message, your body reacted, without really even knowing what you have to talk about! It even works if you want to get rid of that significant other - you feel a sense of relief at the phone call - same mechanics - your mind hears the message, the body reacts.CORE IDEA #2: THE MIND NATURALLY GOES TO PLACES OF GREATER INTEREST
Imagine this: You're online researching a subject for a report that you really don't want to do with a colleague you really don't like. In the next room, someone mentions your name and start talking about you. Do you consciously think, "OK, now I am going to stop focusing on this boring project and refocus my attention on that conversation in the next room", or do you simply find yourself automatically listening with rapt attention to the conversation?
