Mind, body & mindfulness: definition

Body, Mind and Spirit (or Soul) are convenient terms used to delineate different aspects of the human system.

Whatever touches one aspect has the potential to affect all aspects. This means that:
- what happens at the body level influences the mind;
- what happens with the mind helps mold the body.

Traditional thinking has been seeing mind (or soul) as distinct from body. Current scientific has shown a correlation between brain activity and mind processes. It is also expanded our definition of mind beyond its narrow definition.

In other words, what we call mind could be described as an interaction between our brain, the rest of our nervous system, the other systems in our body, and our environment (for the most part, the cultural and social factors that affect our engagement with the world).

Hence a possible definition of mindfulness.

Mindfulness is the state of mind:
- when mind is aware of body
- and feels a sense of spirit.
