Bodymind is an approach to understanding the relationship between the human body and mind in which they are seen as a single integrated unit. It attempts to address the mind-body problem and is in contrast to the traditions of mind-body dualism and dualism.

In the fields of psychology, therapy and alternative medicine bodymind implies that:

  • The body, mind, emotions, and spirit are dynamically interrelated.[1]
  • Experience, including physical stress, emotional injury, and pleasures are stored in the body's cells which in turn affects one's reactions to stimuli.[2]

The term can be applied across a number of disciplines, including:

The term overlaps in significant ways, especially in its anti-dualist intention, with the philosophical term mindbody developed independently by philosopher William H. Poteat.
