The term "psuchikos" is used in the New Testament to describe that which pertains to the natural or unspiritual aspect of human beings. It often contrasts with the spiritual (πνευματικός, pneumatikos) nature, highlighting the limitations and earthly focus of the natural man. It implies a state of being driven by human instincts and desires rather than by the Spirit of God.
