A small quote will explain things better than I can:
" Under the pressures of modern life, the relaxation response often doesn't work as well as it should. If we over-react in stressful situations, we remain in a state of arousal for longer than necessary. This accelerates the rate of wear and tear, and ageing in the body.
Meditation is regarded as the optimum state for self-healing, this state is called 'homeostasis'. It puts the body back into a state of balance, and a good way to restore balance quickly.
A
good meditator can relax quickly whenever she wants to. She doesn't have to withdraw to a quiet room with a cup of tea for 20 mins to calm herself. If she finds herself stressing in traffic, or at a meeting, or while managing the kids, she can hit the "de-stress button" and initiate the relaxation response immediately."
