Mind and Soul

According to Wikipedia, the mind is the set of faculties including cognitive aspects such as consciousness, imagination, perception, thinking, intelligence, judgement, language and memory, as well as noncognitive aspects such as emotion and instinct. Soul is something different. In many religious, philosophical, and mythological traditions, the soul is the incorporeal essence of a living being. It's like the “driver” of our vehicle called body. 

 

The capacities of our mind, together with the essence of our souls guide our lives. Our mindsets and all the experiences that our soul carries, can determine the way we live, our health, how we relate with family and friends, how we work.

 

The essences of our mind and soul build our body. Epigenetic shows that a higher rate of diseases and conditions are caused by the way we relate to the world. Traumas and bad experiences lived during our childhood can lead to auto-immune diseases. Stress can make our immune system weak and make us vulnerable to infections and development of cancers.

 

It is very important to feed well our body. But are we also caring for the nutrition of our souls? Are we working with our mind to develop a mindset which benefits our collective way of life?
