Description

Mind and Body; or, Mental States and Physical Conditions by William Walker Atkinson is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the intricate relationship between mental states and physical conditions, arguing that these aspects are interconnected rather than opposing forces, which has implications for understanding health, illness, and healing through psychological means. At the start of this insightful examination, the author lays out his premise that the subconscious mind plays a pivotal role in influencing physical health. Atkinson discusses how the subconscious mind controls vital bodily functions and how mental states can significantly affect physical well-being. He presents various examples and scientific observations to support the notion that both mental and physical realities interact continuously, thereby emphasizing the importance of understanding this connection for effective healing practices and self-care. The author’s aim is to empower readers with knowledge that bridges the gap between psychology and physiology, inviting them to explore the potential of mental influence in achieving better health outcomes.
