The article touches upon this, and that is the "blockages" of the channels (meridians; nadi's) that are directly linked to our emotions, the way we think and so-forth. Not just the thoughts themselves, but the "energy" (for lack of a better word right now) accociated with these thoughts has a tremendous effect on the subtle body, which then manifests in the gross body as a result.

I very much agree with Mani's views. The mind and body are totally linked and therefore the mind has to have a huge impact on the body's health. In a small way I have found this to be so true. For many years I suffered horrendous migraines which spoilt my life. Medications were largely useless and gave side effects. Only when I really looked at my life, stress levels, diet etc did I finally realise that I had to change my thinking. As I learned to meditate and relax properly, exercise and eat well, the migraines decreased. I only get one perhaps every 5 or 6 months nowadays and it is always when I have not taken care of my mind/body balance. I can believe that even in serious illness this is relevant.

We do not know how powerful our minds are. According to Tibetan Bhuddism is it not said that the mind and it's possibilities are limitless? I would never just settle for conventional medicine alone, it has it's uses of course and one has to be sensible but I think meditation etc can be used alongside it. To sit there like a victim and expect doctors to cure you of all ills would be unrealistic.
