Description

We have two complimentary nervous systems: the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Whenever under stress, the sympathetic nervous system triggers an acute stress response – the fight-or-flight response that prepares the body to fight or flee. Chronic stress is responsible for most abnormal lab results and over eighty percent of chronic diseases, visits to the doctor, and hospital admissions.

The relaxation response is a way of engaging the parasympathetic nervous system to reverse the effects of the stress response. We cannot eliminate stress in our lives. The key is to know how to control how we respond when under stress.

In this book, using the BMAT Method, you will learn how to quickly stop the stress response by activating the relaxation response at will and enjoy optimum health.
