The Relaxation Response (RR) is a natural state in which you experience profound rest in both body & mind. It is the opposite of stress. When you allow your mind/body to experience this innate possible state, you have better access to memories, understanding, learning, creativity, positive emotions; self-control, reasoning, planning, and other executive functions--in fact, all the best parts of being human.
Regularly eliciting this neurophysiological reaction allows you to increase overall health and resilience, reduce suffering from stress-related symptoms and illnesses, reduce your likelihood of developing debilitating, stress-triggered illnesses, increase well being and enjoyment in living.
