To what degree do you think science and technology should mix with mind/body development? When I say "mind/body development", I hope it's clear that I'm not implying anything such as religious, cultist or theocratic practices.

I personally feel, especially after my long involvement with meditation, boxing, self defence, tai chi and other mind body development related activities, that these things could be very well integrated into a system of government, where you might have some individuals who are highly skilled in some of these areas within a leading team of experts who are simply there to give advice.

Just some basic thoughts.

Where do you feel mind/body development fits into science and technology? Or into governence/politics/idiology?

Or does it not mix at all? If so why?
