Prayer - "O spirit, teach us to heal the body by recharging it with thy cosmic energy, heal the mind by concentration and cheerfulness and heal the soul by the divine medicine of meditation on thee"; Pra-phrased from a prayer by Paramahansa Yogananda (www.srf-yogananda.org)
We as human beings have to admit that we do not exist all by our selves. We exist due to divine providence. It is awesome to know that when we sleep at night we do not know what happens to us for at least a few hours, however, when we come in touch with the physical self we see that all things around us are the same the next day as we had seen it previously. this is amazing and this itself is testimony to metaphysical activity.
In one of the spiritual commentaries that I read I found an interesting note that our body changes every 6 months however the changes are so subtle that it is not noticeable by the naked eye.
For foregoing prayer simply points out the importance of the connectivity between the body, mind and soul. To a lay person the term 'soul' or 'atman' may sound intriguing however as one progresses spiritually the various dimensions of the 'soul' is experienced. Though we think ourselves as seemingly mortal when one progresses spiritually one can experience 'immortality'.
It is very tricky though, since we should not get carried away by our spiritual development as we may lose the essence of the 'life giving experiences'.
