The Evolution of Mind
The idea is that in this evolutionary downward movement, Plotinus called it efflux. If we have harmonious notions and harmonious virtues in our soul, then those will tend to translate downward into mind. And if we continue to have a healthier balanced mind, that will tend to translating downward into a healthy organic body. So the traditions would have us use awareness and meditation to get in touch with these higher states so that they can then come downward in a harmonious fashion. I believe that's not rigidly true, but there is some truth to that.
