Mental and Physical Wellness

image of nothing asked:


Basically—want your opinion; do you think your mind and body are considered two different things or that they are connected? If so, then how; and which would you more relate to in Dualism?

1.Interactionism: Mental changes causes bodily actions,etc.
2.Parallelism: Like a movie; mental/physical events are parallel. “Pre-established harmony”
3.Ocassionalism: God must intervene to cause the body to obey.

I don’t quite understand the question in order to search for the answer? This is part of a report on the mind body problem.
correction, question reads. Is there such a thing as an independent mind that transcends physical functions of the body through the central nervous system? Why or why not?

I know that REM stands for rapid eye movement and that REM sleep is a deep, dream-filled sleep. But what else? When does REM sleep begin? What happens to your mind/body during this sleep cycle? What happens if it is interrupted?

This question is highly metaphysical and probably unanswerable but I’m trying to exercise control over my mind and body. I want to be able to enter a meditative state or something of the sort where I can relax and focus at the same time but I’m not sure how. Any tips, suggestions?

Ian asked:


how can You be those things when You are made up of those things?
do ‘I’ have/possess a mind, body, and personality? if so, does that mean that ‘I’ am not my mind, body and personality? if ‘I’ am not those things, then what am ‘I’?

Christy asked:


I am going to begin taking a Yoga class today. I want to know a bit about how Yoga is beneficial to the mind and body.

I know each person is different so your personal experience with Yoga would help.

How does descartes argue in the sixth meditations that the mind and body(matter) are distinct substances? how would the case of water and H2o seem to provide a problem for descartes’s reasoning
