"The body is a condensation of consciousness."
This is probably the most concise way I've heard someone articulate my belief around the mind - body connection.
Our physical form (matter) is not separate from our consciousness, but rather an expression of it in a denser form.
This means that the body IS consciousness.
The waves of our essence are just moving slower into a frequency that we can perceive as solid.
Yet the same underlying essence of consciousness is still there.
Like the various forms of water (steam, ice, water), the body is simply a form factor of the same underlying thing - consciousness.
If you entertain this idea, it changes everything you believe about health.
