The mind is an offshoot of countless neurons (nerve cells) interacting in the brain. Electrical signals are being processed by them at an exorbitant, precise, and expedient rate. The signals are translated into a code comprised of impulses delivered through the network of neurons. The synapses, which are the spaces between the branches of the neurons, make up the foundation for the interaction of the neurons. The signals are communications from the body's cells responding to the world around them. The signals delivered to us through our senses conglomerate into an intellectual response. The intelletcual response is the result of our advanced brain structure evolved through millions of years of development that not only allows us to experience the sensation, but to also define it, categorize it and place it within an intelletcual context. All these sensations are stored as coded files in the network of neurons, as memory.
Since the mind is a direct by-product of our body, it is dependant on the system of the body to function properly. If the body is not being taken care of, then the mind will not function at it's highest capacity.
Every person's mind is very fragile during the beginning years of life when we are constantly being stimulated without a proper framework from which to properly intellectualize all the information. Since the current social world is structured in a very particular way due to historically based ideological institutions, a mind will become coded based on the tenants of the dominant ideology around it. Generally this does not allow an individual mind to learn its nature in order to learn how to properly organize it's information and become an optimally working system.
In order to fully actualize the power of a mind, it must first understand its nature, then make the ethical and philosophical decisions that will shape its system of thinking. If a mind can achieve this, then it takes control of its nature, the processing and sorting of the information it is gathering, and can enact its full great potential to process.
The implications of this are that most minds are capable of the same degree of function. The degree to which is not able to fully understand its nature due to an immersion of an idealogical framework dictates how properly it can function.

Mind is the process of the brain. There is both conscious mind and subconscious mind. All is process going on within our brain, and is entirely natural (not supernatural).
The mind is contained within the brain. The brain is contained within our body.
There is no "soul" separate from our body.

Mind is the screen on which the senses are organized for consciousness to witness.
