There have been several theories put forward discussing the relationship between mind and the physical body.  One question that has been discussed at length is whether or not the mind and body are separate or the same thing.  Other areas of focus have been on where the mind is in relation to the brain.  For example, Is the mind “housed” within the brain? Or are they separate?.  Additional thoughts have been related to the “soul”.  For example, where is the soul housed?  Does it exist? Discuss your thoughts concerning the mind-body connection: Do you believe there is a mind-body connection? If so, are the mind and brain the same thing?  How does the mind influence the body or vice versa?  Does the mind have an effect on our physical and/or mental health?  Where is the mind? Do humans have a soul?  If so, where is the soul “housed”? What is the relationship between the brain, mind, body and soul? Remember, there are no “right” or “wrong” answers.
