mindbody
Psychosomatic unified whole
Mindbody treats mental and physical states as a single integrated system rather than separate domains.
The term appears in discussions of holistic health, meditation, and alternative medicine: mindbody connection, mindbody practices.
It rejects the Cartesian split between consciousness and flesh, suggesting thoughts directly affect physical health and vice versa.
Often hyphenated: mind-body.
