How is the Self different from the Mind & the Body? (Don't say it isn't) Do you have any spiritual experience or scientific data to back it up?

I define mind as the experience a person has of him or herself—thoughts, emotions, memories, desires, beliefs, sensations, even consciousness itself. And I believe that science can best locate these experiences in the body. Not just in the brain, where we first look for the biological basis of the mind, but distributed throughout the body.
For example, hormones circulating throughout the body shape our thoughts and emotions, from testosterone making us more competitive and self-focused to adrenaline making us anxious or energized. The gut has its own neurotransmitters that respond to and remember experiences, providing a physiological basis for intuition and gut feelings. Even the immune system acts as an extension of the mind, responding to psychological stress and influencing your mood.

Appreciate it but the Self is the master of the Mind and the Body. How is it able to master it or what is the link which enable the self to that WILL-POWER? And how can one use Yoga to sense this link as clearly as we sense a person?
