Lesson #1: The Relaxation Response

This guided relaxation exercise is the foundation of all stress management. Discovered by Dr. Herbert Benson, M.D., the relaxation response is a powerful physiological response that counteracts the harmful effects of an overactive, out-of-control fight or flight response. Listen to the guided relaxation as often as you like - or whenever you need to relax. It only takes 15 minutes and the benefits to your mind, body and spirit are tremendous.
