Location: MSPP
Description: Herbert Benson’s groundbreaking work on The Relaxation Response created a revolution in American medicine in inviting first cardiology and then the public to consider the mind-body connection and the relationship between stress, stress-modulation and health. Dr. Benson’s later work on wellness and health promotion has further shaped cultural thinking on the importance of nutrition, exercise, meditation and spirituality on healthy living. Join us for an intriguing program with three key researchers from the Benson-Henry Mind-Body Institute of Massachusetts General Hospital as they present current work on biological markers of the relaxation response and neuroimaging findings. The presenters will present the clinical outcome research, biological changes for patients who complete relaxation response training, and animal modeling which sheds new light on mechanisms responsible for the relaxation response.
