    the relaxation response


    The Relaxation Response developed by Herbert Benson is a proven way to manage stress and learn to relax The Relaxation Response, Herbert Benson, M.D.
    The Relaxation Response is a simple practice that once learned takes 10 to 20 minutes a day and can help relieve stress and tension. Learning and putting into practice such techniques can signicantly improve your mental, emotional and physical health. This technique was developed by Herbert Benson, M.D. at Harvard Medical School, and is taken from his bestselling book "The Relaxation Response". To learn this technique, set aside 10 or 20 minutes each day for a week and try it. 1. Sit quietly in a comfortable position. 2. Allow your eyes to close. 3. Think about each muscle, beginning at your feet and progressing up to your face. Deeply relax all your muscles. Keep them relaxed. 4. Breathe through your nose. Become aware of your breathing. As you breathe out, say the word, "ONE", silently to yourself. For example, breathe IN ... OUT, "ONE",- IN .. OUT, "ONE", etc. Breathe easily and naturally.

    5. Continue for 10 to 20 minutes. You may open your eyes to check the time, but do not use an alarm. When you nish, sit quietly for several minutes, at rst with your eyes closed and later with your eyes opened. Do not stand up for a few minutes..

    6. Do not worry about whether you are successful in achieving a deep level of relaxation. Maintain a passive attitude and permit relaxation to occur at its own pace. When distracting thoughts occur, try to ignore them by not dwelling upon them and return to repeating "ONE." With practice, the response should come with little effort. practice the technique once or twice daily, but not within two hours of a meal, since the digestive processes seem to interfere with the elicitation of the Relaxation Response.
