Mind-Brain Connections
- Success and happiness in life depends on having a positive attitude and holistic view of life.
- It depends on a person's emotional maturity and intellectual maturity.
- It depends on a person being in tune with themselves and the environment.
- It requires a connection between the mind and body — heart and the soul.
Holistic Living
- Living “holistically” means that a person is willing to let go of control.
- It means a person is open-hearted and open-armed to embrace the whole as well as its parts.
- It means living whole-heartedly with themselves and with others.
How Do You Live Holistically?
- It requires living authentically with yourself and with others.
- It requires having a positive attitude toward potential outcomes rather than being a “control freak” to control its outcomes.
- It requires being in tune with yourself emotionally, intellectually and spiritually.
- It requires the connection with the heart and soul, the mind and brain.
Scientific Basis for Holistic Connection between Mind-Body, Physical and Mental Well-Being
- Scientific research shows that well-being in the body can affect the mental state via the neuro-endocrine system.
- In other words, physical well-being translates into mental well-being.
- Mental well-being also feedback to strengthen the immune system (and vice versa, for instance, stress weakens the immune system, which is why people can worry-sick — mental stress causes physical ailments because stress hormones suppress the immune system.)
- This is the scientific basis for the feedback cycle in physical and mental well-being that most people called “holistic living”.
How Can You Find the Connections between the Mind and Body, Heart and Soul?
- Living holistically means being in touch with your heart and soul, mind and body.
- It's the ability to find connections between mind and soul, heart and head, and be in tune with them.
- It requires the understanding that if we are in touch with our body, we will be in touch with our mind.
- If we are in touch with our heart, we are in touch with our soul.
Is There Any Scientific Basis for Holistic Living?
- Our research shows that people who find congruency between their mind and body often live holistically rather than disjointly.
- They tend to find meanings in the connections and live in fluidity, transitioning from one state to another peacefully.
- Brain imagining studies also showed that people who are in the meditative state often reduce stress and reach the mental state of tranquility.
- This is what the ancient arts, such as Tai-Chi and Yoga, try to achieve by transcending to the next level of spirit in the mind.
