It is now an open secret that the will of the mind has enabled people to achieve extraordinary physical feats, which proves beyond doubt the mind and body connection.

QUOTATION OF THE AGES
I alone am, I have attained perfection, I am pure, I am the supreme, I remain always, I am He, I am eternal, I am pure. I am the true knowledge (Vijnana), I am the special one, I am Soma, I am the all. I am the auspicious one, I am free from sorrow, I am consciousness, I am the impartial one. I am joy (to the devoted) and sorrow (to the careless), I am the friend of all silence. I am always of the form of consciousness and I am always of the form of Existence and Consciousness. MAITREYA UPANISHAD ( SAMA VEDA)
