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.

What a visionary he was, humankind are indebted to him. RIP 🙏 ❤

Thanks dear Doctor❤

❤🙏🏼🙂

So nice to see Dr. Benson getting some of the respect that is due to this exceptional individual and researcher.

🙏🏻❤️

An absolute Legend. RIP.

This is nothing like TM. This might be helpful, but it is not the same as TM.

Thank you for dedicating your heart and life to helping so many including me - love your book too 👑🙏🏻🫶🏻🌹

RIP Dr Benson. You are the mind-body OG.

I was looking forward to following this video as part of the Benson-Henry SMART program which I’m enrolled in to help me habituate to severe tinnitus. But I was very disappointed to find that captions are only in Spanish! Captions are a critical part of accessibility for people like me who have hearing loss, so it’s very surprising that you don’t have them for this video. I have a phone that is synced with my hearing aids with Bluetooth so I was hoping I might be able to hear well enough using that. Unfortunately the background music on the video makes that impossible. I hope you’ll consider supplying English captions as most CZcams videos have these days. It makes a world of difference to people like me.

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!

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.

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

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 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

This man is patient

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.

What a beautiful man, thanks Doc!

Mucha gracias

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!

Thank-you Herbert Benson. You have created useful information for people to follow without the need to change their religion or way of life.

This is definitely healing .. thank you sir

So very relaxing. Laura’s voice is so comforting. This is a beautiful, very loving & gentle yoga 🙏

Did he say use the phrase as the breath goes out ? Or in ? I could 'nt make out word ?

Do you have something in Spanish?

God bless you!

Dear Dr. Benson, to have found you in the net is a grateful gift to my soul, Good bless You!

Muchas gracias Dr., agradecería hacer una versión en español, para beneficiar a más personas, bendiciones 🙏🇨🇷 Costa Rica

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!

Thanks a lot dr Benson. It really works! With all my gratitude💖❤💕💟

Muchas gracias 🌿🙏🏼

Thank you. I have horrible tinnitus, and this helps.
