1 | Meditation: The X Dimensions (Unabridged | John E. Cornish, III |
Stress has become a ubiquitous companion in our fast-paced lives. The demands of work, relationships, and societal expectations can create a pressure cooker of stress, taking a toll on our mental and physical well-being. Meditation provides a sanctuary amidst this storm, a place of quietude where we can release the accumulated tension in our bodies and minds. Scientific research has elucidated the mechanisms by which meditation induces relaxation. It triggers what is known as the "relaxation response," which is the opposite of the "fight-or-flight" response associated with stress. During meditation, heart rate and blood pressure often decrease, and the muscles relax, creating a physical state of profound relaxation that feels both soothing and rejuvenating. |
