| Abstract: | Analyzes the central nervous system response underlying the altered state of consciousness known as the relaxation response. The physiological states which appear to be operating are described, as well as techniques for inducing the response. Eastern and Judeo-Christian writings which describe the relaxation response are cited. Recent practices are analyzed, including autogenic training, hypnosis, Zen, yoga, and transcendental meditation. Possible therapeutic benefits are discussed. (63 ref) |
