"Thoughts can Regulate Physiological Responses"
- Dr. Rajesh Ganesan.
The relaxation response, a term popularized by Dr. Herbert Benson in the 1970s, refers to a physiological state of deep rest achieved through various relaxation techniques. This response engages the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, promoting calmness and reducing stress. Dr. Benson's research demonstrated that individuals could consciously train their bodies to elicit the relaxation response, thereby improving health and well-being. Techniques to achieve this state include meditation, deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and yoga, which can be practiced regularly for maximum benefit.
