Is body different from mind

Answer 1

I consider it one because if one is out of sync the other is too. If you are depressed or worried over something the person's stomach may feel nauseated, they feel lethargic and with extensive worry it can cause some diseases. The brain has two chemicals and if one is out of whack so is your body. Remember "Mind, body and spirit." Each one is a whole to make us the best we can be. It's a tall order and most of us succeed to a point. The brain is something to be kept healthy by eating well (lots of protein) and to keep your mind active by reading or doing a special hobby you enjoy. It is a scientific fact if we fill our minds with blood, gore, constant thoughts of war and unpleasant things in life it will change our personality. If we fill our minds with good things that make us feel at peace and happy then that's the way you will feel. If you don't like what is on the news and it depresses you, don't watch all of it and if you want to keep up with world events, watch it, realize you can't save the whole world and do something upbeat after that. To respect the brain and not over-whelm it. Know when you need some fun because you've had a rough week. The body needs to have a well-balanced diet to stave off disease and to let the messages from the brain do it's job. The spirit is to enlighten your inner self either by religion, yoga, Tai Chi (which I do). I'm a Christian and practice Tai Chi to gain patience, be at peace with myself and open my mind to knew and invigorating idea. I still say religion (whatever the individual chooses as their religion) make the person whole. When the spirit is enlightened it actually makes the whole body feel lighter, the mind sharp and one is at peace within themselves and towards others.

Answer 2

A:In ancient times, people saw the mind as so different from our physical presence that they could not understand our thoughts and emotions as coming from any part of our body. They envisaged that these characteristics must come from some part of us that is higher than the body, and called this the soul. Scientists now realise that the brain is a marvelous organ that gives us our thoughts, emotions and our very self-consciousness: this is really what our mind is.
