The Benefits
Relaxation is the antidote to stress which is known to contribute to the development of disease. The benefits of relaxation have been well researched, some of which are:
A slower heart rate and a reduction of blood pressure. It also increases blood flow to the muscles and decreases muscle tension. Increased energy, better sleep, enhanced concentration, calmer mind, emotional well-being and stability — less anger, anxiety, frustration , worry and fear.
New findings indicate that deep relaxation, if practiced regularly, can strengthen the immune system and produce a host of other medically valuable physiological changes. In asthmatics, relaxation has been found to widen restricted respiratory passages. In some diabetics, relaxation can reduce the need for insulin. In many patients with chronic, unbearable pain, regular relaxation has brought about significant relief.
Whether you choose to attend regularly or just come when you feel the need, make sure you bring a cushion and blanket to make the whole experience even more enjoyable!
