body-mind
Physical-mental integration concept
Body-mind treats the physical body and conscious mind as a unified system rather than separate entities.
The term appears in holistic health, meditation, and philosophical contexts that reject the traditional Western division between mental and physical: Body-mind practices like yoga integrate breathing, movement, and awareness.
The hyphen signals inseparability—what affects one affects the other.
