Calming our mind helps relieve stress and pain in our body. So how do we take advantage of the mind-body connection? The natural antidote to the stress response is the relaxation response, part of the parasympathetic nervous system, that stops the release of stress hormones and triggers hormones that relax us and enhance our sense of well-being. Our heart rate and breathing slow down, our blood pressure drops, and our tense muscles relax. By intentionally activating our relaxation response throughout the day, we can stop living triggered and on high-alert.
