The physical organism, your body, has its own intelligence, as does the
organism of every other life-form. And that intelligence reacts to what
your mind is saying, reacts to your thoughts. So emotion is the body’s
reaction to your mind. The body’s intelligence is, of course, an
inseparable part of universal intelligence, one of its countless
manifestations. It gives temporary cohesion to the atoms and molecules
that make up your physical organism. It is the organizing principle
behind the workings of all the organs of the body, the conversion of
oxygen and food into energy, the heartbeat and circulation of the blood,
the immune system that protects the body from invaders, the translation
of sensory input into nerve impulses that are sent to the brain,
decoded there, and reassembled into a coherent inner picture of outer
reality. All of these, as well as thousands of other simultaneously
occurring functions, are coordinated perfectly by that intelligence. You
don’t run your body. The intelligence does.
~Eckhart Tolle
