Psychosoma.

Psychosoma.

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
3 John 2

The way you think; that is your thoughts will affect your health. In science it is called psychosoma. Psyche referring to the soul or mind and soma referring to the body. Therefore, psychosoma is referring to the influence of the mind on the body. So your current way of thinking (mental condition) is affecting your body (your health).

Unhealthy mental conditions such as stress and anxiety can affect your health and your body leading to stomach ulcers, high blood pressure and heart diseases. These physical illnesses are psychosomatic disorders and you can deal with them from the root by practicing what the Word of God says in Philippians 4:6(ALT), “Stop being anxious about anything, …”

As you stop the anxiety, your health will improve. Practice the act of meditating on the Word of God. It has been proven that meditation which is a mental activity will lower your blood pressure. Meditation will also reduce the possibility of having heart attacks, strokes and deaths from all causes.

People who habitually meditate are never going to suffer from high blood pressure. They are less likely to be affected by stress and anger. Therefore meditating on the Word of God habitually will help keep you healthy.
