Wondering how to calm down in the midst of overwhelming deadlines? Grab a pencil. The rhythmic and repetitive motion of drawing helps synchronize hand and eye, body and mind, and can be used to elicit what Harvard cardiologist, Herbert Benson, has identified as the relaxation response.
RR, as it is called, is a physical state of deep rest and an alternative to stress’s fight-or-flight response. It is characterized by positive states such as a decrease in blood pressure, diminished respiratory rate, and lower pulse rate. Recent research has also shown RR to result in characteristic gene expression changes, showing a potential genetic “fingerprint” associated with the response.
