ABSTRACT
The relationship between the mind and body is circular and the boundary between them is permeable. Actually, they probably are best thought of as inseparable, unitary, or identical. The mind influences what the body does and what the body does influences the mind. In other words, the mind can modify or influence virtually any physiologic function from blood flow to the production of antibodies and, conversely, even small changes in our physiology can affect how we think and feel. Although few people know how to influence these relationships consciously, the unconscious mind often can figure out how to do so when given the opportunity.
