body-mind connection
Physical-mental integration
The body-mind connection is the relationship between physical states and mental or emotional experience.
The concept underlies practices like yoga, meditation, and biofeedback, which use physical techniques to influence mental states or vice versa: Stress manifests physically—the body-mind connection means your anxiety shows up as back pain.
Also mind-body connection.
