Although your consciousness may be collaborating with your brain, I personally believe that your mind resides within your body, specifically within the seven energy centres located across the length of your body. This ancient energetic system is also referred to as Chakra's in Sanskrit, which means vortex of light. Each of your seven centres relates to a specific emotional, mental, and physical attribute.
