Its indisputable that our health is subject to the quality of thought we are in. An elderly
individual who is laying in a hospital bed, dwelling in their last moments on this world with a
smile on their face, and a heavenly thought of acceptance and grace, to me is in better health than
a newborn crying in anguish for understanding and attention. |

Yes, mind is important. Everyday we have to practice to improve mind power to get a peaceful mind.
Every religions has their own way to get peaceful mind. For me meditation is the best one. If we can
conquer our mind, I believe that there no need to worry about other things. We can conquer
everything easily. But it's really difficult to control our mind. Mind is important for your life.
But don't forget to make your physical fit. |

It's been shown that people who live alone die younger and are more prone to illness generally than
those who live with a partner. Some people have even said that loneliness is the greatest killer in
the Western world. The obvious conclusion from these studies is that emotional well-being does have
an effect on bodily health. The only other way to interpret them is to argue that unhealthy people
are less likely to attract partners than healthy people, which is probably true to some degree but
it's doubtful this effect could account for the magnitude of the differences demonstrated.
It's also possible to exaggerate the role of psychology. For example, for years cancer patients were
told about the importance of having a positive outlook, and informed that cancer support groups,
where cancer sufferers sat round and talked about their problems, would be a big help to them. Later
studies found that this was a complete myth : There was no evidence that these support groups, or
the positive thinking they encouraged, had any effect. It was just one more degradation in the end. |

Well a split decision so far but consider this. I agree with Grenache, and I would never advocate
that the mind can overcome any illnesses, but it can be an adjunct to medical therapy.
Also, things we do from day to day, lead to ill health, including not dealing with everyday problems
properly, and the folly of not being in a fit state of mind.
What I am saying is by practice we can have a better approach than we might if we don't give
ourselves a few moments each day to improve our piece of mind.
I admire finsch's comments. Quite true it is one of many factors. For instance relaxing while
smoking and drinking too much would just have a completely negative effect on wellbeing. As would
overeating, but do I feel with daily help, the mind begins to recognise the way to a better health.
Yes I do.

I'd agree, worry has a devastating effect on some people. Example a doctor informed a friend that
the Big C. Might be present on a mole she had on her back. Over the next three months it took for
her to go to hospital to have it checked out, my friend lost a considerable amount of weight, and
her health took a turn for the worse. However, when she got the all clear she quickly recovered, and
now thank the Lord, she's back to normal. The example shows that mind over matter sometimes has a
detrimental effect, and a healing effect. |

I definitely believe your mind and mood have an impact on your health.
What I don't believe though is that you can heal almost anything by positive thoughts and/or prayer.
People who reject medical treatment of cancer, for example, arguing it's up to their will and the
will of God's to beat it, are badly misleading themselves. |

Yes having a calm mind, and a good mood can affect your health, but we don't need special time for
relaxation, and i also agree it is just one, of many many factors of our health |

No I disagree. While state of mind certainly can have a significant effect on health, it is just one
of many many factors. |
