Since the age of antiquity, scholars have debated if the mind and body are truly connected (meaning that one affects the other), or if the two are separate entities that just happen to co-exist in the same body. In this discussion, we will consider this issue as it relates to your own experiences. Respond to the following questions/statements:
Provide one (1) example of a situation where your mind had an impact on your body and one (1) example of a situation where your body impacted your mind (thinking). Describe the situations and their impact in as much detail as possible.
Do you think it is possible for people to experience physical symptoms without actually having anything physically wrong with them? What would explain this? Provide an example of this to support your position.
“The body achieves what the mind believes” is a popular quote in some motivational circles. Do you agree with this statement? Explain your thinking.
