We’ve all been there, those moments in life we want to blink and find it was all just a dream. But they are real, and challenge our abilities to let go, and cope. The Relaxation Response (1975) was written a year before I broke my back and reading it changed my prayer and meditation life forever as I laid 6mths in the hospital and spent another 6mths in a full body cast. Harvard researcher Herbert Benson showed that meditation or prayer with a breathing focus alters the body’s stress response. His most recent work suggests the relaxation response alters gene expression tied to inflammation. Take time-out today to deep breath and change your life forever.
