Relaxation techniques: Breath control helps quell errant stress response!

The term "fight or flight" is also known as the stress response. It's
what the body does as it prepares to confront or avoid danger. When
appropriately invoked, the stress response helps us rise to many
challenges. But trouble starts when this response is constantly provoked
by less momentous, day-to-day events, such as money woes, traffic jams,
job worries, or relationship problems.



Health problems are one result. A prime example is high blood
pressure, a major risk factor for heart disease. The stress response
also suppresses the immune system, increasing susceptibility to colds
and other illnesses. Moreover, the buildup of stress can contribute to
anxiety and depression. We can't avoid all sources of stress in our
lives, nor would we want to. But we can develop healthier ways of
responding to them. One way is to invoke the relaxation response,
through a technique first developed in the 1970s at Harvard Medical
School by cardiologist Dr. Herbert Benson. The relaxation response is a
state of profound rest that can be elicited in many ways, including
meditation, yoga, and progressive muscle relaxation.



Breath focus is a common feature of several techniques that evoke the
relaxation response. The first step is learning to breathe deeply and to be conscious of your reactions to stressful situations;
