mind-body
Mental-physical integration concept
Mind-body is an adjective describing the relationship or connection between mental and physical states.
It appears most often in compounds like mind-body connection, mind-body medicine, or mind-body practices such as yoga and meditation.
The term reflects the view that psychological states influence physical health and vice versa, challenging older Western assumptions that mind and body operate independently.
