How is the Mind Body and Spirit Connected?

I find myself being drawn to finding ways to unite my mind, body and spirit together. I find that when I eat unhealthy foods or when I overeat in general it seems to numb my mind and senses. For me, eating healthy is so much more than just losing the weight. I really want to see how it affects my mind and spirit as well.
I know all these things are interconnected and when one aspect of the body, mind or spirit becomes imbalanced it affects the other aspects negatively. I am trying to get my body back into balance and from there can really dive into both the mind and spirit to fully realize my full potential for health.
I have really been praying and pondering to discover the true connection between body and spirit. I believe that I am a spiritual being having a human experience as opposed to a human being having a spiritual experience. I want to get in touch with my inner-self so I may better understand who I truly am.
Until I can overcome my own base desires for unhealthy foods how can I hope to think and live in a higher vibrational frequency? How can I transcend? How can I feel the promptings of the Holy Spirit and understand them? This has been my struggle.
I believe that our only limitations in life are the ones that are self-imposed. I want to see what I can accomplish, not only for myself, but so I can teach and share the knowledge and experiences with others. Notice, I say the knowledge instead of my knowledge. That is because knowledge is not owned by anyone except God, it is simply uncovered by us through our diligence and dedication.
Enough of me rambling for now… I plan to continue searching, pondering and praying about this topic as I cleanse my body.
