The connection made between the Thalamus with the [[Fornix (neuroanatomy)|Fornix]] nerve fibers and Limbic system, are directly related to our emotional experiences, and the way we experience our emotions begins to open our heart intelligence and is the key to our [[HSP|higher sensory perception]].

One of the key structures in the [[Brain]] that is physically changed through long-term [[Meditation]] is the [[Thalamus]]. It is the relay station for all of the sensory information that flows throughout the brain. So, whether the information comes in through our optic nerves, our ears, through tactile sensation, through smell, or through taste, every bit of data travels through the thalamus. The thalamus mediates to us our sense of what is and isn’t real. The Thalamus gives emotional meaning not only to what we take in through our senses, but also to our concepts of [[God]] and spirituality.

The thalamus mediates to us our sense of what is and isn’t real. The [[Thalamus]] gives emotional meaning not only to what we take in through our basic senses, but also to develop our higher senses which expands our concepts of [[God]] and spirituality.


The physical correlates of all sensations, thoughts, and emotions first cascade through the thalamus before being communicated to the other parts of the brain. Even the smallest degree of damage to this crucial part of the brain can negatively affect other brain areas.
