Mind, Body Spirit

[christyG]

PBS is starting a new series on the relationship of the mind, body and spirit and how it relates to our total well being.

I caught an intro to the series and watched the first show in the series last night. It was about new medical approaches that target the mind and spirit to assist in healing the physical body. The show talked about the role that stress plays in our body's ability to heal itself.

This statement got me thinking about Jesus' healings, and I think the connection of the mind, body and spirit is something Jesus would have understood completely.

Anyway, I think the series looks interesting:)

I assume that PBS works like network television and that this is a nation wide program series.

I'll keep on the lookout for that, Christy. It sounds interesting. I'm very interested in that topic right now. When they do trial studies of new meds, they always do placebo testing. I find it peculiar that there are a number of people who experience improvement on placebos which are basically sugar pills. The connection has got to be the mind, I think.
