The relaxation response
Book • 2000
Written by Herbert Benson and Miriam Z. Klipper, 'The Relaxation Response' describes an autonomic reaction that counters the 'fight or flight' response.
The book outlines a 6-step (later expanded to 9-step) technique for eliciting this response, which involves a mental device, a passive attitude, a quiet environment, and a comfortable position.
This approach has been scientifically validated and is recommended by healthcare professionals to treat various stress-related conditions, including hypertension, headaches, insomnia, and chronic pain.
