- Dr. Herbert Benson demonstrates how to elicit the Relaxation Response. Dr. Benson is Director Emeritus of the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Mind Body Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.
*This video is a generic technique of how to elicit the Relaxation Response. It is not intended to serve as a medical, health or personal intervention. If you choose to use the Relaxation Response for medical purposes, do so only under the care of a physician.
I wish I had read the Relaxation Response when it came out in the 70s. I did buy it, but just was "too busy" with full time parenting, working a full-time night shift, & all that goes along with divorce & being a single mother to actually take time out of my day to sit down, relax & calm my thoughts. I have needed this probably all my life, but never thought I had the time to relax & take some me-time. There was just "so much to do". Foolish thinking on my part. So I've continued to live in a spiral of anxiety, insomnia & the results of not sleeping. I just bought Say Goodnight to Insomnia by Gregg D. Jacobs, Phd with a foreword by Herbert Benson. This got me to thinking about the Relaxation Response. My book is long gone, unread, but at this late date, I was able to find this video which, I read, is the crux of the book.. Dr. Benson has such a kind demeanor & soft voice I will do this twice a day. I know it will make a difference with my out-of-control anxiety. Very thankful for his selflessness. I wish he were still here to see how appreciative I am of his efforts.
This guy gave a great gift to the world.
Only, unlike "his Holiness" the Maharishi, he didn't seek to make a vast fortune (for himself) out of it and charge the earth for something that can be demonstrated in minutes.
And here, you have it for free. It works and is very little different from TM!
exactly but costs hundreds to be taught the 'secret' of T.M. and then you find out its no secret - no different than using mala beads etc. So great he shares without all the hype, just simple function of breaking through the constant busy of the mind.
Dear Dr. Benson, to have found you in the net is a grateful gift to my soul, Good bless You!
Thank-you Herbert Benson. You have created useful information for people to follow without the need to change their religion or way of life.
Thanks dear Doctor❤
Use this video to help others before they ever get closer to Transcendental Meditation (TM) groups because they will charge you lots of money. This is exactly the same technique. This meditation has given me a lot of benefits and it's very easy and effortless. Everyone deserves to know this regardless of income, academic, race, religion etc.
Well said!
100%,
👍🏻
I love how he gave examples from all the religions.. its beautiful seeing how much world religions have in common :)
I was going to comment the same thing! 💜
The relaxation response has calmed his body in peace you can tell.in his 80s looks about 60 proof in the pudding for us all great work
Thank you Dr. Benson...for taking the time out of your busy schedule to offer this valuable information to us, as a public service...bless you.
Thank you. I have horrible tinnitus, and this helps.
Dear Dr. Herbert Benson, Thank you and May God bless you.

Your voice is relaxing me.... :)
Thanks, I went through the Benson-Henry SMART program, virtual due to COVID, and came here hearing of Dr Benson's work in the Relaxation Response.
Thank you for this video.
Thank u so much Dr. Benson. I am delighted to have your video here. I am a student and so wanted to grasp the technique because i'm conducting a reasearch study on this on pregnant women. By all these means i learnt the technique and therefore im able to provide this to others too. I am really thankful to you. Regards Milanpreet Kaur from Punjab,India

Thank you for this video. God bless you.
He has hacked meditation! It’s so kind of him to show the method online for free. No need to spend years finding the correct method. A simple process that’s used across the world and can help people. God/The Universe (Whatever your believe) bless this man for this!

Do you have something in Spanish?
Did he say use the phrase as the breath goes out ? Or in ? I could 'nt make out word ?
Use the word as you exhale
When we reach the universal consciousness, there is no need to argue about God. Before reaching universal consciousness, though we talk about God we are far from him. Cheers.
This is nothing like TM. This might be helpful, but it is not the same as TM.
How so?
he never acknowledged the Hindu sources of his relaxation response practice which was directly taken ipso facto from the yoga parampara of yog Nidra, such an ungrateful man!
Yoga Nidra was renamed as Lucid Dreaming.
Relaxation response is just renamed Transcendental Meditation.
Actually, I think he does just that in his book.
He certainly references T.M. but gives you the same results (I've tried both) without all the initial hocus-pocus of T.M. and the fact that they don't tell you that your "special" mantra is merely based on your age. It's easy to check this to verify it..I was given mine while I was in my 20s.
I no longer use it! I simply use the word "one!"
@@admin8446 . relaxation repsonse is a physiological action that is elicited by many many ways - one of these he says at the beginning of this video "a basic way to ..." is this practice, and he explains repitition of a word, whilst disregarding other thoughts. He says in another video it is described in the Upanishads, TM is just one form of repetitive meditative practice - and it also elicits the relaxation response yoga nidra is not a repetive meditative practice - but it also can elicit the relaxation response. Lots of activities can like art, gardening and anything that disrupts the thinking mind and gets you into a 'flow state' away from the default network of the brain
1. who cares
2. at least he's not trying to make a fortune by suggesting you need to pay out the ass to learn it
