Relaxation Response

/ˌriːlækˈseɪʃən rɪˈspɒns/noun
ELI5 mode

The relaxation response is a natural physiological state of deep rest that counteracts the body's stress-induced fight-or-flight reaction, leading to reduced heart rate, lower blood pressure, and decreased muscle tension. Popularized in modern wellness practices, it involves simple techniques like meditation or deep breathing to foster mental clarity and physical recovery, making it a go-to tool for managing everyday anxieties in our fast-paced world.
