THE MIND AND BODY WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD HEALTH

For years now around the world there has been a growing understanding of the correlation of mind and body, and of the link between ill health and the way we cope with stress and our emotions. Just as distressing states of mind can cause disorders, so positive, uplifting states can promote good health: states such as peace of mind, optimism, confidence, humor, companionship, joy, love, kindness, compassion, and devotion.
