“The Relaxation Response is a physical state of deep rest that changes the physical and emotional responses to stress…and the opposite of the fight or flight response.”
Breathing for Relaxation
Breathing is one of the basic skills used in relaxation, mindfulness, and biofeedback. When we practice diaphragmatic breathing, our exhalation activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which leads to relaxation.
