Theoretical Approach

Learn to elicit the scientifically proven relaxation response to facilitate your body's own resources. This approach complements your current health care program. Using the relaxation response will improve your day-to-day quality of life.

The relaxation response counters the negative effects stressful or anxious situation have on your body. Day-to-day living as well as health issues can introduce new stress and anxiety into your life. If you do not release these feelings, they can lead to physical problems such as headaches, backaches, indigestion, muscle cramps. Additionally, they can affect you mentally with symptoms such as memory loss, anxiety, feelings of sadness, or anger.

If these feelings persist, your body will come to recognize the physical effects as signs of anxiety, thus cueing the mind that more anxiety is present and strengthening the physical effects. This becomes a vicious cycle that is not productive.

Introducing techniques that elicit the relaxation response allows you to break the cycle of anxiety and tension, releasing the physical effect of stress and anxiety, and optimizing your body's overall health. Once you are in a relaxed state, your mind is much more susceptible to messages that you wish to give your body.
