Sefer HaBahir 40

1His students asked him, “What is cholem?” He [Rabbi Amorai] said to them, “A soul [neshamah]. Its name is cholem because if you listen, your body will recover for the future of its builders, but if you rebel against it, your illnesses will return upon your head — so cholim are on her head."
