We conclude this series with insights and excerpts from the article Our Perception of Time Changes How We Heal in this final posting.
In The Perception of Time Influences Healing Independent of Actual Time we learned that abstract psychological precepts, such as those that guide how we perceive the passage of time, can significantly impact physical health outcomes.
In The Effect of Mind On the Body we learned that something as vague as a thought can influence the physical world and that our bodies incorporate multiple systems that encompass both body and mind, changing as a whole. And we considered the effect that a “third partner” plays. This installment concludes the reporting on this article.
We are accustomed to thinking of the body and mind as separate components. What does it mean to think of body and mind as a single unit?
“When the mind and body constitute a single system, any change in a person simultaneously creates change at the level of thought (i.e., cognitive change) and at the level of the body (hormonal, neural, and/or behavioral change). When we open our minds to the idea of body-mind unity, new possibilities for controlling our health become available and tangible.”
