Relaxation Response
A neurological mechanism discovered by Dr. Herbert Benson and other researchers at the Harvard Medical School and Boston's Beth Israel Hospital. The opposite of the "fight or flight" or stress response, the Relaxation Response is associated with reduced levels of epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), blood pressure, blood sugar, breathing, and heart rates.
