Using The Mind To Get A New Body

Is there a relationship between the mental and the physical make up of an individual?

We are constantly searching for novel ways to care for our bodies as this is a precondition for good health. So many people fail to realize what has come to be referred to as the mind body connection.  A new body starts with the mind, basically changing the way that we think. To avoid getting deep into Neurophilosophy which is an interdisciplinary study of neuroscience and philosophy, a simple interpretation is that emotions, feelings, experience, thoughts, attitudes, orientation that we cultivate and encourage within our minds can be used to determine how our body system performs its functions.

The mind is what facilitates our mental process and our level of consciousness and we can therefore use it to manipulate the interaction between mind and body, the physical manifestations, and our physical byproduct. Individuals who can be said to project a wonderful emotional health are conscious of how they feel and behave. They exhibit self-fulfillment, a healthy dose of the feel good hormone and maintain healthy relationships. One benefit that can explicitly be observed physically among-st such individuals is that their physical appearance and health is always top notch.

What elements the mind carries is reflected in the body. The concept of how to renew the body with the mind is so broad it has produced a branch of medicine (mind body medicine) which advocates using the power of the mind to engineer holistic healing without pills which undoubtedly produces worse side effects. A healthy mind breeds a healthy body. Possessing a healthy mind is determined by how we perceive ourselves regarding predicaments around us. 

Those who perceive themselves as having power to prevail over stress which encompasses the network of traumas that can trigger disease possess healthy minds. Those whose traumas however prevail over them do not have healthy minds because their undesirable situation reflects in their bodies. An unhealthy mind also compromises the human immune system and opens the body to different attacks from preventable diseases. This is comparable to the documented efficiency of placebos to cure some health conditions.
