Understanding Body-Mind relationship


A specific question invokes a 'so-oriented' answer....
It is fortunate if the answer appeals to the mind that asks this question, whether such asking happens before looking at the answer or after it....
The appeal is very relative.....
The basic ingredient of such relativity is that the answer reaches the asker's mind.... for that the answerer has to firstly reach the mind of the asker! (When the answerer is an evolved person, it does not even matter if the question is latent in the mind of that asker, and perhaps the asker is oblivious of it!)..

Be it as it may.

I found a question that seemed to me to be asking about body-mind relationship in terms of its emotional-interdependence.....

I answered it, and await a verdict....

In the meanwhile, I felt like sharing it here too...

(When I write something out of my own inclination, the response is far less.... but when I respond, whether as a comment, or a reply, the response is slightly better.... I love both the situations for exclusive reasons ! :) .... yes... I am tempted to quote that famous 'self-contradicting' usage of a phrase “mutually exclusive”!)

Things to make me feel better emotionally?
Sometimes I will randomly just feel down or sad (like most people), and I wondered what types of things you do that help you break out of this mood?

My Answer:
We have to 'look' experientially, and then 'see' .... that our body and mind are 'connected' (logically, we seldom seek to deny it...). This is perhaps going to help to handle the situation ( of this question).
..
Body maintains an emotional experience of its own..... When body need urgent attention from us, it shoots up that pain sensation from the injured or di-eased limb/organ/etc...
Similarly, when the body is going through a 'cleaning' process, it tries to warn us, not to engage into any intricate work depending on the peak efficiency level of body (it is okay to do very routine functions)... we can notice this, when we somehow do not 'get into the mood' to relish something, doing it, or just enjoying it (though we know logically that it is something that we 'always' love to do or to have)! Women would 'agree' almost instantly, being very familiar with their monthly cycles..... Science has hinted that males too have similar 'spells' which are a bit subtle, and requires a little more attentiveness.... Since human beings are gifted with self-awareness, we have a choice to handling this very dextrously, to suit us, and to be benefited by us.... but somewhere there has to be a beginning at least! This wonderful question is such! 
..
Please see, certain nervous stimulants affect our moods.... 
Certain foods affect our moods...
A sudden mid-summer rain, the gentle spray of fine drops of rain scintillates us!
A sudden sighting of a beautiful painting, or that sudden vision of a vast landscape after an arduous climb to a hill top exhilarates us!
A cable (telegram) informing the very untimely departure of a very close person makes that 'just-about-to-eat-wonderful-feast (on a hungry stomach ) very unpalatable !
..
Understanding our body-mind relationship is essential to go beyond the both... if spirituality is also our inclination!
