An interesting and unique approach to using the "relaxation response."

December 14, 2017

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

I had read the Relaxation Response book many years ago and recently purchased this 180 page paperback book at a bargain price (Beyond the relaxation response: The stress reduction program by Herbert Benson, M.D. with William Proctor) on Amazon.

This book explores further the subject of the “relaxation response” in combination with the faith factor. This program is focused on how to use the “relaxation response” along with using a religious or spiritual mantra to help reduce stress. It is a known fact that controlling your stress may help to relieve headaches, lower blood pressure, eliminate insomnia, decrease anxiety, and relieve chest pains and backaches and other issues related to stress problems.

This book is organized into three parts. Part one covers the introduction, explains what is the faith factor and frontiers of scientific research. Part two explains an adventure in the Himalayas, the road to upper Dharmsala, the phenomenon of the “Fierce Woman,” the lessons of the Lamas. Part three finally gets to “a practical guide to greater physical and mental well-being.” How to work with your Doctor toward optimal health, the fundamentals of the faith factor: how to combine the relaxation response and your personal beliefs, the way to power over your physical and mental problems and what are the outer limits?

I found this book to be interesting and informative. The “relaxation response” works great when I combined it with my Reiki (Universal Healing) techniques. If you are seeking less stress in your life this is a book you will want to check out.

Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Chair/Seated Tai Chi, Qigong and Yoga for seniors and the physically challenged).

Good continuing education about the science behind meditation

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

I actually like this better than his first book. The author is well educated and trained, and he is happy to tell you that, over and over and over. But he includes a variety of information in here. Little of it is actually the practice of meditation, but it is great supporting information if you are interested. And he does give credibility to the topic, even though he is loooong winded. I am not sorry I bought it.

A waste!

Sorry, but it goes into more religion -- voodoo as far as I'm concerned. Meditation is really an ancient science.

I had read the first book on the relaxation response, but it just didn't "do it" for me. It taught me the basics but I already knew the basics. If you don't know the basics you really should read it first.

This book was awesome. I have so deepened my meditation. He encourages you to tap into your own belief system and that made such a tremendous difference in my meditation experience.

I would recommend this book to anyone wanted to learn the art of meditation.

This was the perfect read right after reading The Relaxation Response. Dr. Benson put so much research in to this whole meditation thing and it's just so powerful and healing for the body and mind when we meditate. I'm so glad I read this book.
