From the Paper:

"In Chapter Four, "Fullness of Life Bodily Health and Vigor," Trine discusses the law of cause and effect, and how our mental state can affect our physical being. Trine, in his eloquent way, puts it like this: "In other words, a falling state of mind is productive of a falling condition of the body. To be sure minded is to be sure footed. To be uncertain in mind is to be uncertain in step" (Trine 43). He describes several different situations where people allow what is happening around them to color their outlook and their reaction, and this in turn affects their bodies in a wide variety of illness and ill health. Trine believes what festers inside will eventually ruin our health and disposition, and his findings are still influential today, as many mental health professionals realize that unhappiness can add to a variety of illnesses, both mental and physical."
