せいしん
mind, spirit
Rice polished down to what is actually in it, with the god part alongside. Say せい it and calm しん yourself: the mind rather than the body: せいしん.
心 こころ is the heart you feel with, 気 き is energy or mood and 魂 たましい is the soul. 精神 is the mind as a faculty, and it is the word in mental health.
