Yes, we can see and learn how our mind is the forerunner to our responses. The ability to control one's emotions even when in pain and during difficulties due to the body comes about due to the state of mind. Obviously there is a direct link between state of mind and state of body and how we treat/look after our body's too, though even with a clear, effective and well-organised mind our bodies will still age, get sick and eventually death will occur.

Louise L. Hay's "You can heal your body" has a good take on this... And plenty of more modern spirituality seems to rely on the idea that what you hold in mind tends to manifest.
When we look at psycho-somatic illness we see how the mind directly affects the body, and we also see it in bodily reactions to stress (tensed muscles, high blood pressure etc.) and stress originates in the mind.
The body is an effect of the mind in countless ways.
Not every individual who develops one of the many types of lung cancers smoked cigarettes just as not every smoker develops lung cancer.
Yes, that's true. But, I had a friend who developed throat cancer, died from it, butnever smoked. At the very large hospital system where he was treated, they told him that of all the patients they had treated with throat cancer, he was the only one who had never smoked.
