The [[Thalamus]] is the large mass of gray matter in the dorsal part of the diencephalon of the brain with several functions such as relaying of sensory signals, including motor signals, to the cerebral cortex, and the regulation of consciousness, sleep, and alertness. The thalamus has a right lobe and a left lobe.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalamus Thalamus]</ref> | The [[Thalamus]] is the large mass of gray matter in the dorsal part of the diencephalon of the brain with several functions such as relaying of sensory signals, including motor signals, to the cerebral cortex, and the regulation of consciousness, sleep, and alertness.

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]]. | 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]]. Without the [[Thalamus]] functioning properly, the [[Brain]] cannot diagnose or detect the sensory information that is being transmitted to it. | ||
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 basic senses, but also to develop our higher senses which expands our concepts of [[God]] and spirituality. | One of the key structures in the [[Brain]] that is physically changed through long-term [[Meditation]] is the [[Thalamus]].
