The author discusses the use of a relaxation response to decrease the stress response and resulting increase in blood pressure. He provides information on historical and cultural techniques used across peoples. A discussion of some clinical studies and case histories is provided relating to effects on drug use and headaches. The technique is described and is proposed as universally valuable for the duration of use. ( ) When Dr. Herbert benson introduced this simple, effective, mind/body approach to relieving stress twenty-five years ago, his book became an instant national bestseller. Since that time, milions of people have learned the secret-without high-priced lectures or prescription medicines. The Relaxation Response has become the classic reference recommended by most health care professionals and authorities to treat the harmful effects of stress. Discovered by Dr. Benson and his colleagues in the laboratories of Harvard Medical School and its teaching hospitals, this revitalizing, therapeutic approach is now routinely recommended to treat blood pressure, chronic pain, insomnia, and many other physical ailments. It requires only minutes to learn, and just ten to twenty minutes of practice twice a day. Bibliography Breaks down meditation and possible benefits, trading in vaguely spiritual trappings for good old fashion science. Author, being of the academic tradition, cites quality sources and demonstrates rigourous methodologies. If you want to know about the measured physiological affects of popular meditation techniques, skipping on the anecdotal evidence usually found in books on the topic, this is a great place to start. Classic, medically authoritative, but old fashioned guide book on transcendental meditation. The majority of the book talks about the health benefits of this, and there are a lot of references to various religions. The actual advice about how to meditate at the end is extremely short, and for me the book was largely pointless except for this tiny section. Learn the principles of controlled meditation without leaving home...without attending high-priced lectures...without pills, medication or drugs.This revitalizing, therapeutic technique---developed by the renowned doctor whose extensive testing in the laboratories of Harvard Medical School and Boston's Beth Israel Hospital first exploded the scientific prejudice against TM---can release your body's hidden defenses against stress and stress-triggered illnesses (including high blood pressure).A simple meditative technique that has helped millions to cope with fatigue, anxiety and stress. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
