What Is The Connection Between Body And Soul?

First of all I need to understand who I am. As human beings there are two aspects to us. These are that I am a spiritual being living inside this physical body. It is through the vehicle of this body that I am able to express myself and it is through the 5 senses of the body – seeing, hearing, smelling, touching and tasting that I receive information about the world around me.

Although soul and body are two distinct energies, they are intimately linked. It is when I become confused as to which I am, that the vital life force (chi), the natural energy of my being, becomes disturbed and corrupted.

This chi energy flows through subtle channels or meridians which form a network throughout the body, similar but different to the networks of nerves and blood vessels. These meridians are like a connecting interface between I, the spiritual being and the body. When I am happy and healthy in spirit and mind, then the chi flows smoothly and its quality is good and this communicates wellbeing to my body. The body mirrors my internal state.
